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.

Sunday, December 29, 2013

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.

Friday, December 27, 2013

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.

Thursday, December 26, 2013

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

thought 
it 
was 
spring

Sunday, December 22, 2013

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.

"You know, everyone
has love in them. Some people 
just don't use it all."
-Rita Overby
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.
"...every detection 
of what is false directs you 
toward what is true..." 
-Og Mandino
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.

Saturday, December 14, 2013

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

"Let me be your
ruler. You can call me Queen Bee
and, baby, I'll rule."

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.

Wednesday, December 11, 2013

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.

Tuesday, December 10, 2013

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.

Monday, December 9, 2013

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.

Sunday, December 8, 2013

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.

Saturday, December 7, 2013

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.

Thursday, December 5, 2013

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.

Tuesday, December 3, 2013

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 
world" he was right.
"I bless the rains down
in Africa. I bless the rains 
down in Africa." 
                               -Toto
"Death cannot stop true
love. All it can do is delay
it for awhile."
                         -Westley

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