Sometimes I think it only rains on me
Sometimes I think it only rains on me
love
Pour down as the first rain of spring
Soak me from head to toe
Illuminate me like a glorious rainbow strewn across the sky
Give me a love that is hotter
Than a sweltering heat wave in summer
Allowing no relief in sight
A wild leaf in motion
Whisk me away on your changing breeze
On that gold toned day in autumn
Embrace me like a tree
Naked in winter
Wrapped in the warmth of its snow
There are 7 wonders of the world and there are 7 Seas
But there’s one that’s unaccounted for
The 8th Sea lives in me
It is a wonder of my mystery
Embodied in my skin
Chartered yet by no one
I’ve never let them in
Alive within my being
will you dive with me
To find the person deep inside
that cries now to be free
The longer that we travel
the darker it becomes
Light vanishes
now surface lost
Cold waters leave me numb
A long stroke further
from my heart,
together as we swim
behind the vault of feelings stored
Do you know just where you’ve been
I am desperate for the air
that fills me up with life
Hold on we’re going deeper now
grasp tightly for this ride
I think we’ve found the silence
chaotic world outside
Chaos in my Sea of life
I’ll silence with mind
I am naked now in front of you
raw now to be seen
The Wonder of my inner self
how I swim inside my sea
How deep is my person
Am I shallow in my thought
Can I fill your heart with sincere love
Is it your love that I’ve sought
What will this journey bring to me
What will it mean for us
To expose my insecurities
handing you my trust
I’m a person of both hurt and pain
A secret that I hide
A person of such fear and shame
Please help me change my tide.

Dear Readers,
I would very much like to take the time to give back what I have received. Starting in January (with a preview today) I would like to “Showcase” once a week 2 or 3 posts from Bloggers that for some reason, in some way, caught my eye, my heart and/or my mind with their work. There are so many out there with so many talents on different levels. Perhaps they will grab you, the way they grabbed me…..I hope you enjoy.

From the site of Drawn Strings. It was difficult to stay with this one because his newest posted after is just as wonderful The simplicity of the words combined with the depth is something that truly draws me back to the blog each time.

A writer that never ceases to amaze me. Unaware but Underlined is a blog that is filled with an absolute variety of poetry coupled with Photography. Her Post “Lies” is jam packed in just very few words.

Ahhhh…I adore this very young Lady. Olivia Nicole Marie, a 19 year old that seems to feel and grasp so much at her tender age. I hope she stays with the art of writing. Please have a look at Olivias post from just the other day, the one that drew me to her.
I hope to see you again in January!!!!
Dear Child, don’t fret
Your days are not short
You have all the time in the world
Don’t run to be where I am now
for wisdom you think that I hold
I would crawl backwards if I could
for the innocence in your eyes
To see the world again unclothed
nary a face with disguise
Dear Child of mine
Enjoy your stay
harvest all days you have
Treasure this moment, this time of your life
of purity unscathed
If I spoke with wisdom of my years
then you would be told
I’d give it all, right here, right now
To see life with your soul
If I retreat from this world for a little while
Would you miss my face, my attempted smile
Not sure where to go, not sure where I’ll hide
Like evening sunshine entwined in dusks stride
As I struggle to stay up in the sky
A force pulls me down to let time pass by
It is winter now and my bones are so cold
The chill has shifted, casts over my soul
My inner twilight strives to survive
Wants absence from life to keep me alive
I’ll be going now for a little while
I promise to come back soon
So don’t be sad as I walk away
I need to escape my gloom
I’ll go gather strength to rise once more
To come back and shine in life with allure
I look in your eyes, you look into mine
But do we really see what is there?
Do we see what we know
Or just hopes and dreams
With but a gaze of endearment so fair
Is this exchange that we speak
With unspoken word
Really a truth at all
Is what’s heard with the eyes
What the heart really bares
Can I trust that you won’t let me fall
Please don’t look again
Till I strengthen my heart
From the powerful sight of you
Please just look again
When I know we won’t part
And forever your love’ll be true
There is a Beauty in the gift of growing older, yes
A Beauty beyond any physical sense
Captured in our eyes as we’ve watch our Children grow
The towering Oak tree once small planted, the lush garden of our once new Home
Beautiful thoughts kindle from sweet memories of our life
An accumulated definition of love only obtainable as years go by
Youthful beauty has been replaced
Although the mirror we see each morning at dawn can discourage
As our face mimics a progressed time lined with many Tales
It has been aged from perseverance as well as defeat, from sorrow as well as joy
Our Life and it’s travels only now shows
Beauty has altered but fear not, it’s still there
Look outside around you and inside your soul
Beauty is a gift that never grows old
“Once upon a time”
you were loved and treasured,
the focal point of life.
Now tucked away
upon a shelf
those times have now all gone.
You’re out of reach,
you’ve been forgotten
by caring, loving arms.
My Dear Teddy, I know how it is
when your Time is through.
You did your job,
you served well,
But there’s no more need for you.
As I look up and see you,
I feel a jab
as emotions come unfurled.
We are found
but
then left alone.
That’s life in this world
It’s a beautiful day in my mind
Visions that I’ve never seen
Gas lamps light the cobble stone streets
Merchants work
With pride and esteem
Exchanged is a nod and a gentle smile
as gracious kind people pass by
On a bridge
rhythmic clicks echo
of proud horses shoes
Still waters running high
In this vision of mine
on this eve of ash dusk
a gentleman strolls by tall
Dressed with grace
of long cloth splendor
perfumed with air of Fall
Lady on arm
her boots finely laced
a pillar of beauty so fine
rests dark auburn hair on the nape of her neck
rose scented skin divine
The intimate love
seen in their eyes
Obscures all I see
A Time, a Street , a Bridge, a Love
A place in dreams for me.
As the little young girl
Danced all about
One sock down
3 teeth out
With her teddy bear Partner
She’d twist and Shout
Carefree and limber
Not a worry about
Teddy got dizzy
He fell to the floor
“No time for that”
And took him for more
Teddy the champion of the day
Allowed to be
Swayed and swayed
Years go by
She’s back on the floor
Dressed in high heels
Wanting more
No longer Teddy
By her side
But a beautiful man
Who in rhythm she strides
In place of teddy
Her Partner in Crime
Stands a new Partner
Her love divine
Nota Bene: A little one for Diego, my “Dance” Partner and love divine 🙂 (and you too, Teddy, RIP)
The moon comes to protect me
From loneliness of night
A shadow falls around me
As dark as day is light
Her Grandeur and her Glory
Majestic in the sky
Shades of yellow brown and gold
Voluptuous
Rising high
Seduce me now
Oh beautiful one
Head weary laid to rest
You take me
Pull me
Everyday
But tonight,
You’re at your best
The white of Winter
Or is it grey?
Has shown its crisp face
This old November day
The sun fails to shine,
Those dominant clouds
The spirit of life
Somehow left me now.
Please spend this day
You by my side,
Warmth through love
Todays sun can’t provide

(spend, cover, crisp)
There exists in my life
Here on my earth
an iconic man of soul
Straight from the heaven
To accompany me
To help my life unfold
(Iconic, exists, straight)
The Starting End
