It’s been too long.
Once I knew every line,
every nuance of you.
I knew your touch
and the smell of your hair.
I knew the way you cocked your head
when something I did puzzled you.
Or the slight upturn of your mouth
when you looked in my eyes.
I knew the taste of your lips.
But it’s been too long.
The shade of your eyes
I’m sure were blue.
But I see them as just haze
in my mind.
I want to feel the stubble of your beard,
before my fingertips forget.

A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
"Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love." 1 Cor. 16:13-14
Let's get on the roller coaster of life, with the garnish of poetry and see where it takes us, beyond the world or under the oceans. So Buckle Up!!!
Leadership development, inspiring creativity, and personal transformation.
Psycho poetry from my Guts
Where a little insanity goes a long way
the reverberation of a hidden well...freed.
I write about Passion. Sex. Love. Pain. Darkness. All of it.
um...
Where I share my jewels of wisdom of life

Listen to your inner self..it has all the answers..
petals of thoughts falling into existence
poetry, shorts, and other stuff
Poetry, stories and strange odds and ends from the desk of a writer
Full-time daydreamer, half-time paranoid.
Philosophy is all about being curious, asking basic questions. And it can be fun!
Made me smile 😃💛
