Friend

On August 21, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry36 Comments

If I need a place
to rest my mind
will you lend a shoulder
for just a little time?

If I need to shed
concerns and talk
can I call you up
regardless of the clock?

If I need a hug
to feel some warmth
will you offer protection
from the storm?

Thank you, my friend,
for your loving support
for your uplifting smiles
and your unselfish heart

Perception

On August 18, 2013January 9, 2015 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry38 Comments

Clouds are welcomed
when my eyes tire
of the sun and
their tears soothe
my soul, while inside
staying warm
but sometimes
they exude
uncertainty in
the night
their color
becomes blurry
with no vision
in sight
I much
rather prefer
my world
in
black
and
white

Uncharted

On August 14, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry32 Comments

Will new doors
dare to open
if what they reveal
is unexpected?

A chance worth taking
to feel more connected
or a daunting challenge
when one feels dejected

For those who live in darkness
afraid to embrace the light
believing darkness
is their only right

Then despair settles with dust
on the lonely shelf
leaving Hope to wonder
where the entry is
to redeem itself

Morning (re-post)

On August 7, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry35 Comments

A little past dawn
light invites itself
streaming through
the window
Feeling the stare
my eyes open
only to realize
night has bid farewell
Dreading
getting out of bed
and the biting cold
when toes
touch the floor
I pull the covers
over my head
Bodies warm
and cozy, a duet
all snuggly
lying next
to my hubby
Daybreak can wait
I’m not willing
to greet
the chilling
hour
just yet

Sorry for another oldie, but thanks for reading again,
if you’ve already seen this. I’ve been busy
working on another project and haven’t had
time to write. Wishing you all a wonderful
evening or day, wherever you may be. ♥

Scrabble Soup

On August 5, 2013August 6, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry23 Comments

First you need a thought,
nothing fancy
and it can’t be bought,
then add a spoonful of emotion.
There’s no magical potion,
although, I have a notion
you could include humor.
According to rumor,
laughter’s the best medicine.
It always has been.
Yet, contrary to giggles,
start some tears flowing
with a dash of melancholy,
or if you’d rather be jolly,
Don’t be coy,
Sprinkle in some joy.
Now, to spice up your mixture
(I think you get the picture)
toss in some melody
with your favored tempo
and let your feet dance.
Feel the rhythm and
give romance a chance.
This is where you improvise
(write between the lines).
Follow your feelings.
Close your eyes,
peel off your disguise.
This is your recipe and vision.
Follow your bliss
and for a final touch,
Seal it with a kiss!

Surrender

On August 1, 2013January 14, 2018 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry37 Comments

I wanted to get away, be a
chameleon, feel my
soul dance to some loud
tunes, sip on something
soothing and cool,

but I could feel your eyes,
just like before, when they
had the company of your lips
and hands. I didn’t want to
react to you again. My mind

was reeling as you willed me
to look your way. I ignored
the current. I wasn’t going to
be swayed by your gaze,
but I couldn’t disguise

the excitement inside.
My body was acting alone,
not listening to logic, but needing
to fulfill the hunger for you,
so maybe I simply stopped

thinking too much, or the music
sent me into a world of lust,
for when you tapped my shoulder
and I looked up,
I fell deep inside your

pools of blue, there was
nothing I could do
no one
could save me, not even
You.

In-Between Life (repost)

On July 22, 2013October 8, 2014 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry21 Comments

A quiet interlude of two consenting minds
connecting in desired agreement
A gentle kiss becoming decadent
bodies embracing, passion flaring
the baring of equally loving souls
Each giving to fulfillment
breathless whispers
over the moon ending
descending into
anticipation
for the next
lovely
rendezvous
