Alone in the night,
Away from those who right now doze,
Now it is finally alright
To ponder poetry or prose;
Now, I am allowed to think,
To spend a little time on me;
I've no sleepy eyes, not e'en . . .

I just got through reading a Highland romance; forgive this one if you will.
Flaming silk flows
Waving o'er porcelain shoulders
Framing delicate features
Dusted with fairy magic;
Fair . . .

Giving more of me in anonymity
Feeling alien in my home
Finding understanding with strangers,
Unseen, Unknown,
Still, there is rightness . . .
That my weakness remain disguised;
My strength . . .

Looking over the city
The lights winked in the distance.
We sat on the hood of his car.
I don't even remember what model,
But I remember . . .
I shivered;
He put his jacket . . .

I remember the nights when I heard you weeping in another room.
I wanted to go to you, comfort you, but knew, it was too soon.
All those years together, promises . . .

When trouble falls soft,
Like summer rain,
There is almost a pleasure
In the strength . . .
The shelter of loving arms;
But when the storm becomes icy, cruel,
The protecter weeps, breaks,
When . . .

mindless feeling
there has been so little of that
always Rigid, by the Rules. . .
i just can't seem to remember why
when i feel this way
so lost in a fleeting moment
that could shape forever
somewhere . . .

One-eyed bears and Happy Meals,
Footie Pajamas and fairy tales,
Sippy cups, a big red ball,
Pitter Patter down the hall,
Princess dresses, frilly lace,
Pretty, freckled, smiling face, . . .

Onyx eyes dancing around the room,
Curious, laughing, wild and untamed;
She looks up and just as soon
As she sees me everything's changed;
She becomes shy; her hand rises,
Palm out, two dimpled fingers . . .

KAYLA ROSE is three today
SHE had a hole in her heart when SHE was born
SHE has little scars on her chest
but that little girl can light up a room!
SHE smiles . . .

I thought of you today.
Your elation over me,
Insignificant to others,
Never to you;
You always cared.
I miss calling
A hundred times a week,
“What do I set the oven on for cornbread?” . . .

Loving you was easy in the beginning.
Why not? We were young, invinsible
And not the least bit sensible.
We could throw caution to the wind.
The world's philosophy is that
If things . . .

Are you the one in control
Of the merry-go-round?
Do you slow, even stop
When you hear the sound?
When they scream, even cry,
Do you push, pull, faster faster,
Inceasing the G-force,
Courting Disaster? . . .
