A whisper that brushed my skin A touch I’ll always remember I hold tight with my heart To the memory of that night in the moonlight Copyright (C) 2022 Penny Wilson

Between the Lies
You loved me, once. I loved you too. We thought our story would be different. We would beat the odds, we were sure. First we lied to ourselves, that it wouldn't happen to us. Then we lied to each other, pretending everything was alright. Finally, we lied to the world, putting on the masks. Somewhere between the lies is where my heart lived.

Love Them Anyway
“People are unrealistic, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.”

A Drop In the Ocean
“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.”

Love Is…
“Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of the seasons.”
-Kahlil Gibran
The Magician
You are the magician pulling my heart from that black hat You hold that fragile organ on the tip of your tongue to be cut out with a phrase to leave it exposed is risking the darkness I willingly risk it all to be another participant in your magic show Copyright (C) 2022 Penny Wilson
Twisted Spell
She studied lore and craft
Her heart’s desire to obtain.
She used bat’s wings and chants
And even a little wolfbane.
She locked him in a cage
And cast spells on him each night.
She summoned demons and beasts
And trolls by moonlight.
She took flight with Count Dracula
To learn of his secrets.
Nothing she tried seemed to work
Was this man her weakness?
Finally, defeated
She turned him loose one day.
She said “although I love you
You must be on your way”.
“Your love is what I’ve desired
But it can’t be earned like this.
Before you leave my home
Would you grant me just one kiss?”
He looked at her with kindness
And took her hand with care.
He pulled her close and kissed her
And then he gave her such a glare.
“Although I’ve kissed your lips most foul
You’ll not live to see another nightfall
I am a warlock casting my own spell
I'll turn you into a rat; quite small.”
Before his eyes, she shrank
And began to grow a snout.
She scampered away quickly
To look for a way out.
Before you cast a spell
on the man of the moment.
Use caution, for he may seek revenge
by turning you into a rodent.

Promise Me the Sea
I want sunrises with salt on your lips and me in your arms. I want passions on the sand; our skin tanned from the sun and wet from the surf. The rush of the tide to match our desires. Let me see tomorrow in your eyes Promise me the sea. Copyright (C) 2022 Penny Wilson All Rights Reserved
Endless Summer
You smelled of Patchouli The Stones were on the turntable Smoke was in the air Boone's Farm Strawberry was the flavor of your kisses That summer, endless Our youth, more powerful than we ever knew We were bulletproof and would live forever Tomorrow was a given Copyright (C) 2022 Penny Wilson All Rights Reserved
