stealing a kiss, he
hungers for more sustenance
just the beginning

Welcome to my corner of this wonderful community where I share my poetry, short stories, and occasional photos. My husband and I have been married for almost thirty-five years, and we have two adult children. Our furry family member is Copper, an 80-lb chocolate lab mix, and he just turned 13 years old.
I have published two collections of poetry: New Day, New Dreams (2013) and Finding a Balance (2015). My memoir, More than Coffee, was published in 2021, and my recent publication is a poetry collection titled Ever So Gently released in July.
I have finished my first children’s book and am working with my illustrator with plans to publish in 2024.
When you visit, I hope you find something to take with you, but that you also find something enticing enough to keep bringing you back. I truly appreciate your visit.
Cheers,
Lauren ❤️
Timeless
The years around my eyes
have a way of surprising me
because deep down inside
I feel amazingly youthful
but, when expected changes
begin to surface
no disguise is possible
for they are openly truthful
So, My Love, will you still see
the beauty from back then
and will you hold fast to
what lies within?

(Author’s note: I believe this is something
most people think of when they’re growing
older together. But, my words don’t
reflect any insecurity in my own marriage.
All is great there! )

Would I be too old fashioned
to ask for your hand
take a walk on the beach
dig our toes in the sand?
If I ask for a kiss
would you submit to my charms
fall into my eyes
lean into my arms?
If I ask for your love
bestow my heart fully to you
and if I give you the world
would you say I do?

Scott’s rave: I love this sweet poem written by LScott! For me, this is what the love is all about. It’s about the special moments. Falling into my eyes or learning into my arms is just as intimate for my soul as any level of intimacy, if with the one I love so deeply. And then closing with the vow of forever. What in this world is greater in comparison to that? Thanks again Lauren, for this…

Faraway
Your gaze touches me
Can you feel my heart beating?
I feed on dreams of us
to escape the pain I’m feeling
I envy oceans’ waves
when they caress the shore
Your loving embrace I miss
how I long for when we were
Time is my enemy, though
for it moves slow as honey
but sweet memories of your kisses
remain my true company
One heart, one mind we’ll be
and I’ll see life in color again
for now, my head lies on your pillow
with love for you I can’t explain

Love Again (re-post)
As sure as leaves will fall
at season’s change
and rain will drop
as clouds rearrange
I have fallen
through new doors opened
the key I thought
was lost forever
you have found so cleverly
the lock had suffered
yet, not broken for eternity~

Chasing sunshine as
the wind gives feather kisses
we wave to redwoods

Goofy is Good – Haiku
give seriousness
the break it truly deserves
dare to be silly

who dares to be silly,
no matter what.
Part of her everyday
make-up is her smile! ♥
This is another poem I contributed to Scott’s awesome new blog, where he unselfishly shares the work of others. So I hope you’ll take the time to visit his site and you’ll be amazed at all the lovely talent!
Lying on the sand
contoured to our needs
no one watches
but the moon and stars
and if they could talk
what a story to be told
We’re all alone
You and me
with souls entwined
we share ecstasy
gliding to the melody
played by the waves
their rhythm joins us
in the moves we create
Can we stay,
embraced,
skin on skin,
and begin again?

Scott’s rave: Wow, my eyes and soul just drank a cafe mocha with whipped cream! I think all my favorite poets are trying to give me an art attack of sensual flow. This one from LScott is obviously no exception and seems to bring together everything one could hope for in describing such a moment. The setting and sensual embrace of both soul and body. So beautifully composed LScott! Please visit LScott Poetry and dive even deeper…
