My eyes are open now
and they see life’s pattern
has changed
I’m sorry I stayed in the sand
forever, it seemed
but the truth is clear as can be
in my lovely blue sky
and I will move on
because I’m ready to fly
(Poem is fiction in the present,
but true from the past)

It’s easy falling into lust
sharing moments of passion
Falling in love, though
involves the heart
and much more compassion
Striving for “forever”
isn’t always a stroll in the park
but it’s a package worth opening
to experience that spark
It’s feeling those
beautiful butterflies
dancing inside
and sharing your world
with nothing to hide
It’s knowing you are special
even with your flaws
An eternal heart
loves you just because
It’s all of these and so much more
It’s having someone to adore
through all the mess
and all the calm
to comfort through the storm

I offered you my love on a silver platter
lined with chocolate dipped strawberries
You tasted, but only to tease
Instead, you stole my happiness
right out of my hands
although my grip was strong
Very brazen, even for you
and it wasn’t yours for the taking
My heart was wrong for breaking,
but I allowed it
I had a choice and chose the weak path
That was yesterday
Today, my wrath is leading the way
and I will not let you ruin my tomorrows

Desire for you
begins to grow
as the sun
begins its descent,
flaming the sky red
and burning parts
of it orange
I long for your warmth,
rising temperatures
between
disheveled satin
creating our
evening magic
You whisper
sweet touches
along my skin
and kiss me
so gently
reeling me in
I want your body
to be a part of mine
craving only
to please
and after,
you’ll kiss me again
with weak knees
The storm was grueling
I wasn’t sure I’d get out alive
even following the aftermath
I didn’t think I’d survive
The physical blows didn’t cut
as deep as the verbal fumes
bruises became darker
leaving my emotions in ruins
(How must one touch the stars
when they feel nothing is theirs
for the reaching?
How must one climb
when their feet
seem to be slipping?)
I heard encouragement often
which made my heart swell
but words come easy when
not living in hell
In my solitary moments, I pondered
over those adjectives and verbs
and finally grasped the strength
to pull me up and move me forward
It’s not easy to break away
from the storm
but Hope is the illumination
that will always bring us home

I prefer writing in first person, but the content is fiction.
However, I wrote this for those who have been
or are in abusive relationships.
I hope and pray they find a way out;
no one is deserving of anything less than being treated
with love and respect.

Before dipping your toes in,
you should know that no
relationship will be
smooth sailing
all the way
It will have its
share of maintenance
to be tended to on
any given day
If you keep an open
mind and store it
above board
there’ll be no cause
for running ashore
Wear trust and
communication
as you would a favorite
shirt , remember
you’re both the captain,
then no one should
get hurt
You can now build
your boat together
Set sail
You’re ready
for any kind of weather

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.
