A Distance From Me

heart-felt connections
bonded despite the distance
love imprinted deep

When I make the effort
to dig deep
into who you are,
know you are loved.

In awe,
inspired,
captivated,
interested,
dazed,
uplifted.
Yes, in love with your being.

I’ll align myself
up close,
breathing in your talent
and exhaling
knowledge and pride.

You’ve won my heart.

I’m There For You

love invisible
strong support and kind actions
feel my love, dear one

I come to you willingly
offering my being
watch as I flourish with you
healing myself and you
with our love

I melted into your arms
to flow freely
through your veins
emanating through your pores
to cover your essence with mine

Two, still separate
and unique,
blending and deciding
togetherness
was a better formula

We intertwined our lives
to nurture what was to come
a future filled with goodness
and pleasure
being strong as one

Find Your Way Home

i’m bathed in darkness
for your absence creates it
sorrow my only companion

look for the shining candle
that is my glowing heart
hopeful for your return

Reality Is A Way Of Life

being in this physical realm
trying to achieve an extraordinary existence
not only to survive, but to thrive, and hopefully enjoy

yet what happens when nature dictates the next steps
how do we move forward
how do we address the necessary
and remain sane

these external forces unsettle us, can even unhinge us
consciousness, intellect, and reasonable emotions
grant us the ability to improve our situations
gaining knowledge is our sword to defeat that which can harm us
as we decide how to best cope with the onslaught

living is not an easy task
be aware and have courage
right the wrongs
protect the innocents among us

enjoin your community to protect the whole
and always…
love, love, love, and love some more

Take Me Home

you and i are not so different

we feel scared in unfamiliar places
apprehensive about new people
are we in danger
should we tread carefully

we need good circumstances
and thrive with true friends
we need love and care
someone who watches out for us

our preservation instincts
signal us as necessary
with trust and affection
bonds grow deeper

with goodness shown, we are all enriched

I never knew
how comfortable
I could feel in my skin
until I heard you

You’re like a muse
I feel like I belong
here
in this moment

with you
your voice
your music
your knowledge

How did I get so lucky
to have stumbled upon you
to finally feel more
to be me

Thank You To Those Who I Love

Inspired by What do you see #275

fiercely protective
you are always there for me
wholly accept me

Many years passed before I understood what loving someone meant to me. Having been shaped by two people (and most likely – no, definitely – the third in my immediate family, too), it took the birth of my first child to understand this most basic lesson I should have been privy to during my formative years. Once understood, I was committed to being the kind of person who also deserved love.

Mates

we’re unique
different in so many ways
but sharing the same values
which brought us close
and to this day
keeps us dear to each other

i’m so glad our lives intertwined
