The Cutting Room Floor

Hush, be still...don't slam the door!
Dreams lie dying on the cutting room floor,
Sacrificed for those we love,
Vowed e'er we left our Home Above.

Eons ago, we were split apart,
Leaving gaping holes in our heart,
We knew that we would meet again,
Just didn't know how or when.

Late in life, I came to you,
But you had other things to do,
You mirrored me, and I knew,
I could not lie...I did, too.

Yours, and mine, family,
Was the main priority,
But our love, though from afar,
Became our beacon, our guiding Star,
Our passion grew, connection strong,
Together, we knew, we belonged.

The world kept trying to pull us apart,
And I lay weeping with aching heart,
While you stood your ground, so tall and brave,
Reminding me of what must be saved.

Hush, don't cry...I've closed the door,
Picked up the dreams, for another day,
I'll hold you now, brush the tears away,
It wasn't time...I thought you knew,
But when it is, I'll come for you,
For I promise, our Love is true.

After The Storm

She lays her head upon his chest,
Hearts now picked up from the floor,
Bitter words forgotten, they now rest,
Mirrors hung upon the door.

The storm blew down the house of cards,
Lightning struck with mighty flash,
Burned all pretenses to ash,
Truth was told, though it was hard.

Through her tears, she felt his embrace,
He reached up and touched her face,
In surrender, acceptance at last,
She knew this fight was in the past.

All forgotten, tenderly,
He said no need for apology,
They know their Love will never end,
And they will always be more than friends.

House of Cards

The house of cards comes crashing down,
Shattered hearts lie on the floor,
My happy smile becomes a frown,
Broken mirrors on the door.

Ego won with words of stone,
Flung like arrows at my heart,
Truth now tearing us apart,
Condemning me to be alone.

Once again, I curse the sky,
Screaming, God, Oh, Why oh why?
After all that we've been through,
Again he runs, and leaves me blue.

Tells me what I don't want to hear,
States again my greatest fear,
Says that he will NEVER leave,
And I'm a fool, or else naive!

I believed in our LOVE,
Felt the bonding from Above,
Now again, promises broken,
And I wonder...
God!  Were you just joking?

Afterglow

The passion burned brightly, kindled by Air and Fire,
Two souls danced in bonfires of love and lust,
Based on an enduring, intimate, trust,
Coming together in natural desire.

Sharing the gifts each one brought, fueled by imaginative thought,
Giving in to the wildness of fantasy online,
Uninhibited, unclothed, unsheathed, unfettered mind,
Man and woman, Twins, reunion sought. 

Their hearts knew what minds could not comprehend,
That they would always be more than friends,
It flew in the face of society, endangered all sense of propriety,
But LOVE made their fears and confusion end.

Her gentle, teasing  ministration, and his passionate penetration,
Fused them together in mind and soul...now they are whole,
With joy they know, whatever may be, they are always One,
No more fears, or guilty tears, can tear them apart,
In love forever, HOME in their heart. 

Soft words spoken in afterglow...now they know. 

Off Season

The summer is gone, tourists went home,
My lonely heart now wants to roam,
Wind in my hair,  salty sea foam,
It's off season there, and I'm far from home.

Living on land, forgetting my fins,
Wishing for sand, bemoaning my sins,
Legs long-since grown...once I had wings,
Mermaid or angel?...confused, my soul sings.

Destiny calls, my faith is true,
Whatever befalls, my fate's with YOU,
My Love, forever we will be ONE,
Blessed by the water,  kissed by the Sun...

There on our Beach, just out of reach.

Homesick

My Soul, where do you lead me,
Home, where wind and waves will feed me,
Home, where Love will come to meet me,
Home, where the mighty ocean rolls,
Home, where at last I will be whole.

I've been land-locked far too long,
Forgotten my sacred Inner Song,
Longing for something just out of reach,
Wanting my Home, my Love, my Beach.

Now, on this first December day,
My reverie takes me far away,
Listening to the white noise of the fan,
I seem to hear the sounds of wind and waves,
I feel my feet walking in the sand,
And long to be back where the sea meets the land.

My Heart Knows

That energy is strong today,  I know it will never go away,
Bonding us through Love and Light,
We hold each other tight, all through the night.
Hugging myself, you hug me, too,
Our way of saying,  I love you...
Touch yourself, I'm touching you.

That chat we had last night was clear,
You let me know you want me near,
Read between the lines, I knew,
That my place will always be with you.
You didn't want me to be alone, 
Said I need someone close to home,
Like a platonic friend? was my query,
No, like a neighbor...but you had to hurry.


Goodnight, you said,  and I love you.
I saw your words, and my heart knew...
It didn't take much reading between the lines,
To know that you will always be mine...
Just waiting now for Timing Divine.
