Alone with my love

I hold it close

Keeping my heart at peace



Alone with my thoughts

I pull them in

Holding my mind at ease



Alone with my pain

I forgive all the hurt

Never letting it get very far



Alone with my tears

I release all it has

To wash the sorrow away



Alone with myself

I hold me close

Then never do I feel alone

I am....
A woman

I can sing to your soul
with a simple smile

Bring you to God
sealed in a kiss

And move the earth
with a swing of my hips

I am.....
A woman

Your knees go weak
When,
You hear my laughter

Your heart aches
When,
You taste my tears

I leave you barren
When you are no longer my home

I am......
A woman

I'm strong and true
I'm not always proud
Of the things I do

I can admit
I feel weak

I need
A loving embrace

I need to hear
I'm wonderful
Filled with grace

I am.....
A woman

Ignored
Beaten
Scorned

I have learned
To be alone
Myself as a friend

I carry the bruises
These scars
You don't see

And I declare
Each night
VICTORY!

Another day passed
And I'm still alive!

To be this
This woman
With a Goddess
Behind her eyes
In her step

You cannot defeat me
Only I hold that right

And still I stand
Still I fight

I am.....
A WOMAN

Strikingly handsome
So wondrous, our embrace
How foolish I was
To let go

Sustaining my heart
A comfortable abyss
This ocean...
Loving memory

Oh, how I
Have longed for you
The quiet connection
To your soul

I desire
A conversation
To last unto the grave

To rest
In peaceful laughter
With you
Arms length away

I wish
To cleanse
To tend
Your wounds

To stand guard
Against the rains

May we be
Two of one

As we were
As we will be

No longer lost
Not alone
Come with me
Come to me

Its been too long
Overdue

I pray for our beauty
How we celebrate
Life!

I need to see
The way you look at me
Your eyes

Let us again
Sit
Basking
beneath the starlight

My soul
begs a dance
Will you be my partner
This life... ?

"I think I'm falling in love with you... is that o.k.?"

A hunger,
needing to find the right words.
Trying to locate
beyond the shock and through the tears.

All I could think of was you,
being with you.
How comforted I was
When I sat in your arms.

Knowing you were there
memorizing your touch
How I forced myself
to withdrawal

Closing my eyes
I felt the vibrations in your chest
As you softly sang to me.

Trying to picture you
as a child.
Wanting to know
Your life

Thinking of Alaska,
wishing I had known you there
How sweet it would have been
To share the beauty with you

But we did share it
Without knowing

Remembering the county
Another place
We had both been
Once upon a time

On a lonely night
I found you

"Why you?"
"Why me?"
"Why anything?"

"I think I would enjoy falling in love with you."

If this only lasts a day, a week, a year....

I want to be there for you
to be there with you
If you will be there with me

Let us be afraid together!

"Its everything that makes you close your eyes
Take a deep breath...
and wish time would stop...."

"The endless snow covered peaks of Alaska."

"The first sunset at the end of the season."

"The quiet wonder after a long blizzard in the county."

"The hushed whisper of traffic on I-70."

"The awe of seeing the clouds settle slowly over the mountains."

"Full moon powder skiing."

"Walking a deserted ski resort at night, with the person you love."

"Doing avalanche control at Copper or Breck by yourself."

I wish time had stopped for us....

She is like the Sunset
As sweet as a Kiss
before the Night
The Stars are her Tears
Icy Fire in the Sky
Her Gaze
Is a magnificent rainbow!
Her Armour is her Music
A voice which does Enchant
When Holding Hands
I Fall
I cannot Catch myself
I love to sit and Listen
She is the lesson
I wish to Learn
As Pretty as a Purple Tulip
And relaxing as a Sunday Drive
I Lust for her Shy smile
Each time I close my eyes
I wish to Dance
To Hold her
Forever in my arms
But she is my dream
And I awaken
Sleep slow to Disappear
As I pour a cup of Coffee
Light a Cigarette
And wish she was here

You molded, crafted, shaped me by hand.
You gave me away to design.
You created the power of my heart
Gave me strength beyond compare
You built a body, both tough and sleek
Made for work or play
Oh, to haul your load on my back
I'll carry it with such grace
Charge out through the water
Just to see the splash
Run out in the mud
Oh! then the bath
Track out through the forest
Watch out for those trees!
Kick up sand as we play on the beach
To take out the family
Or just be with friends
I dream of this
While waiting here
Wishing you would come
The days are long and boring
As I'm trapped here
Looking out
Few come by just to stop and see
What I have to offer thee
But alas in desperation
I wait here to be loved
Hoping even praying
For the one to take me home
So to you I write these lines
For there are so many more than just me
Next time when you come to buy a truck
Could you please, please
Pick me!

Where am I... ?
Oh, there I am..
It's okay...
I can come out now

The storm is over
He's gone

How I get so lost
Why I choose to hide
Why I stop being me
I haven't figured out

I trust myself again
When it's just me
Alone...

I make the right decisions
I know what I want
I am awesomely happy

I listen
to the music I enjoy

I play
the games I like

I dress
however I feel at the time

I color
my hair, in creative ways or not

I shave
or grow my hair, depending on the day

I love being me
I am home

I never ask my friends to except me
for they already do

Yet my lovers have never excepted me
and I hide, while She morphed to suit their needs

She I know is Me and I.

She is everything Society expects

She can cover the bruises with foundation
She can smile after she's been defiled
She can easily pretend everything is Wonderful...

Sometimes I hate She, Me, I...
Though She can be useful...



Out there

Escape
  The streams
    Of golden brown
      Crystal clear
        Mind numbing
          Escape
        The rivers
      Of perception changing
    Thought altering
  Tear releasing
Escape
  The oceans
    Of life ending
      Tongue loosening
        Anger letting
          Escape
        The bottle
      Of merry drink
    Freely flowing
  Just
Escape
