Twenty Minutes More


Twenty minutes more--
sighhhhhhinnnnggg
to keep dreaming
as i sleep,
sleeping you to me…
eyes go right thru me,
arms go around me,
skin sticks against me….
you linger in the air,
just out of reach--
not really there….
reaching.
reaching.
reaching....
I DO.
beseech thee--
give me
twenty minutes more,
before the alarm
can do any harm
to the magic I feel--
your
hot hands of steel
touch me and heal
EVERYTHING
that hurt before--
before i knew
how to deal with
the hand i've been given.
feeling.
feeling.
feeling....
i strrrretchhhhh
to hold heaven
in your eyes--
that seal
all our words
from the night before….
praying.
praying.
praying....
give me
twenty minutes more
more of that
heart-felt-and-tingled--
soft part
YOU
mingled with
ME
in the dark--
staying.
staying.
staying....
did you hear my
heart
pounding
at the start
of your words--
saying.
saying.
saying....
never leave me
stay
love and
keep me
just--
love me,
twenty minutes more….

Shave

                                                                               I got a shave cut it all off. All of it. Done. So what? It's just hair.... They call me brave but I'm not, not really.... The one who is is the one who lives each and every day in pain, in knowing that she has one less day to spend with us here. Now, that's real. That's brave . Just so ya know.... The one who raised me just the way I am bold, free, unafraid of what you think or say, teaching me that I am more than the sum of my parts. I am more than the sum of these little stubbles of hair on my head Why do you look at me like that? Don't you see the glow around me as I channel her strength to me and become what she already is and more. She's seen, done, and made more than I'll ever be able to-- not that I'd try to duplicate or copycat her vibe, her style-- not by a mile! I have a bit of her in me, in here, inside, sure, no long

Inaugurally yours.... OK, I guess it's about time that I finally put myself out there in bloggsville; I mean, after all, just about everyone I know seems to have one--"everyone's doing it, so why not ME??" is the rationale I'm using at present. And for those of you who know me, you KNOW how opinionated I am, and much of what I think seems to draw either chuckles or gasps, or even eye-rolling. So, in the spirit of expressing my true self, here ya go..... Since it's the start of a new year, and a new regime, I keep the quote in my head, "Hope springs eternal." Now, I know that politically and socially, our current system seems to be broken; but hopefully, not irreparably so. That depends on the folks on which it rests--US. Yup, WE the PEOPLE....From the lowest levels of our individual households, to our neighborhood associations, to local city/township communities, to counties, to states, to regions, to the FEDERAL level--it all begins with US.

Walking in the Rain

Take a long walk in the pouring rain, let your hair spill freely down your back and smell all life that's flowing in your veins awaken in the storming sky's attack. Hold out your hands for those tiny kisses to lick and cool the heartache--and you smile, splashing past the windshield-wipered masses stuck in traffic--makes it all worthwhile. Look between the clouds as sunlight rainbows sparkling color in each falling drop. Amid new puddles children freely frolick, until their mothers scream for them to stop. Close your eyes and let the chilled breeze blush you-- just catch the taste of wet sky on your tongue. no matter if your clothes are soaked right through, they'll dry out as you walk back in the sun.
