Calm and Crazy

Hello All!

Once again, I’m behind on reading all of your wonderful blog posts.
I’ve been working on a project, which is consuming most of my time.

I haven’t written any new poems
and actually, I need to get inspired
I can’t re-post forever!
Anyway, the real busy part should be ending soon and I’ll be
visiting you again and trying to catch up a little.

To end your week, I’m sending some “calm” to soothe your “crazy.”

Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!Β 
Lauren β™₯

Morning (re-post)

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. β™₯

Scrabble Soup

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

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.

I’m not a professional photographer, so please go easy on me πŸ™‚
and since our camera needs replacing, I’ve been using my iPhone.
Anyway, t
he rose is in our yard, but the other flowers I came across
while taking Copper, our lab, for his daily walks.
I don’t always take my phone, but when I do,
there’s always
something
I’d love to rememberΒ in photo form.
I’m not even sure I can choose a favorite.
I love them all and this happens to show
more of pinks and purples,
but I also love the vivid reds, oranges and yellows.
Sounds like a future blog post?
Maybe…
Anyway, what is your favorite?

I hope you enjoyed this little bit of flora
and feel free to take some beauty
with you to begin your weekend. β™₯

Copper’s Beach Adventure

copper 2Looking for that stick and enjoying the water, too!

copper 1Gotta love those EARS!

Copper had a fun time at the beach yesterday.
He loved chasing the stick,

then trying to find it in the water.
He was also happy running
up and down the beach
with some other canine friends.
It’s definitely a blastΒ  watching him play!
(my third child) πŸ™‚

I hope we all take time to “play
in the midst of our busy lives.
Soak in some sun and sand
or breathe in mountain air,
Just don’t forget to Breathe and Enjoy Life!

Sending hugs for a great day! β™₯
