You'll need to dress warm.
The wind's cold from a magic
carpet at that height.

Today there wasn't
any sun. The night had no
beginning or end.

I'm sitting in the
living room, my coat on, like
something might happen.
The anger was
planted then grew through me, gripping,
strangling my heart.

I was, oh, so tired
and that black night/warm, soft bed
felt so mighty fine.

It was there, close.
I could feel its sounds and hear
the way it looked at me.
She let the wind catch
the blanket before it fell
softly on the sand.
My mind was racing,
but around only one thing:
his legs, his eyes, him.

I pulled my jeans
over my thighs and slowly wrapped
my
waist up in them.
That feeling I get
when the night's black and I lay
under warm blankets.

In my heart I felt
akin to every person
I walked by that day.
Tuesday, December 24, 2013
There's fire in my heart
keeping me warm within from
the cold, cold outside.

I think we've exchanged
skins. I feel you under mine.
Do you feel me, love?
one
moment
it
was
winter
then
the
skies
parted
I
thought
it
was
spring

I realized something
in your eyes, love, and I think
it was our future.
There I was with my
doe eyes wanting you to want
me as I did you.
the best memories
are being made by you right
now here in this life
Saturday, December 21, 2013
Every moment takes
me somewhere. I just never
know exactly where.
The sounds are quiet.
The air is still and cold. The
night waits for the sun.
There's melancholy
warmth in grey skies and cold nights
for Winter's come home.
Live and let live and
live and live and live and live
and live and let live.

His gaze locked on her.
She laughed and thought, I sure hope
he's looking right now.

has love in them. Some people
just don't use it all."

Reading by iphone
flashlight app and Netflix Fireplace,
nothing warmer.
It was their first date
and they talked and talked about
others' marriages.

You can be my
sunshine and I will be the clouds
on the horizon.

of what is false directs you

The crow flies between
two trees. Must be nice having
a vacation home.

I love the fog, so
cozy and low. It feels like
I'm walking on air.
Sunday, December 15, 2013
From the hills of where
I am to the seas of where
you are our hearts live.

The moon, the moon. That
grey lovely pulling me here
and there. Ah, the moon.

She was parched. The
world was dry around her. The
dry overcame her.
I listened to music
from my youth and I couldn't
dig it just couldn't
I miss all the precious
time I squandered before
I had my children.

Once I went to the
wax museum and it was
really super creepy.
I'd walked the quiet
streets paved between the rows and
rows of mobile homes.
We lived in a
trailer park and listened to Jane's
Addiction on cassette.

Everything's under
this blanket of winter. Cold,
grey and far away.
The cat she likes to
snuggle more in this cold dark
and I like it too.
The sun's cold grey rays
these days leave us early for
the cold shade of night.

No idea's so
perfect it should be set in stone,
but written in sand.
I can't find the words.
I've searched and searched in vain and
nothing. There's none there.

I've known him so long,
yet I can't stand near him without
needing his kiss.
I'll walk beside you
through every heartache, every
joy, each sigh, each tear.

The moon had that star
near it like a beauty mark
on a lady's face.

She writes about her
London the way I reminisce
about New York.

It was cold, then the
sun came and warmed us and the
birds began to sing.
"You help me sing my
song. You right me when I'm wrong.
Maybe I'm amazed..."
-Paul McCartney

The season had
painted the trees and weeds of my
youth a frosty shade.
You are not good and
you are not bad, but you are
both all together.

The child squealed with
delight. She said aloud what
we were all thinking.
With those knowing eyes
she was not a baby, but
a little woman.

When he said, "Be the
change you want to see in the

"I bless the rains down
in Africa. I bless the rains
down in Africa."

it for awhile."

You danced with me. I
didn't know you would and I
stand here smiling still.
