Ten O' Clock Visit

The Blue Jay visits every morning

Ten o’clock the arrival time

cawing loud approaching my garden.

With precise skill of wing he lands

beneath the heavy sunflower head

I think Mother Nature is the sunflower

with simple beauty to enjoy

and bountiful nourishment for all

Tall she stands reaching for the sky

guiding Old Sol on his daily journey

I watch this untamed episode

thanking high above for life

Watching the faces glow in the sunflower forest

filling my soul with contentment

I wait for the Blue Jay to visit at ten o'clock.

Summer Love

I realize my love is in the summer season

flying from me leaving my heart empty and alone in winter

Warmth to embrace me does not exist when now I crave it so

crying and sad with loneliness the sunshine of the day is deleted away

I must accept the cold emptiness of winter and remember life still exists

joy of the heart can be nurtured with memories of the past

On the wings of spring birds Summer will again fly back to me

once again I will be embraced with loving warmth

filling my heart with summer love

Each Day

One day I feel nothing and wonder if I am alive
Next day my emotions rise with more than enough for a lifetime

Whispering Hearts

Listen my love to the whispering of hearts

Listen closely – listen – feel vibration within

Feel the soar of our hearts – feel the pounding

Listen for words – the whisper of my heart whispering to yours

One heart calling to one it holds close – hold my heart – hold it and listen

Listen my love  - whispers – calls – reciting love to you

Hold my heart close  - hold my heart gently – keep my heart safe

My heart deep within yours  - whispering love

Whispering love only to you – whispering love for eternity

Dulled Brillance

Colored brillance

the diamond reflects

twisted

meant to blind thoughts

from reality

not love from the heart

to hold for all time

antiseptic

to numb true feelings

stifle affection

tricks to soften

forgiveness a false virtue

only forgetting

be the better choice

while she searches

to ease her soul

moving from this world

Lovers Connection

My heart breaks as each day passes

to find the connection where my lover resides

I search in new places

and pass time in old

My heart and body crying for its love to hold

Each moment that goes

My arms reach out farther

To connect with one that owns my heart now

I look in each place

and hope with all hope

to find the connection

where my lover resides

Only Once

Once…

Can anything be just once?

Just once I will eat chocolate I told myself

Only once and never again

Just once to know what it is

To know – for only one time

Unwrap it hold it in my hand

Concentrate to get to know it

Running my fingers along the rim

Warmth of my hand introduces us

Forms it to a new shape

Should I taste it…just this once?

Bring it close …inhale the scent

Only once – never more

Just this once…should I?

The scent invites me – intoxicates my mind

Warm – moist – in my palm

My mouth desires to taste

One intimate moment calls to me - restraint is not an option

Into myself ….holding …. tasting …a taste like none ever before

In that encounter we are one

Once…..

Can anything be just once?

Just once I will eat chocolate I told myself

Once….

Once is only the start.
