You were the prettiest face,had the voice of an angel.Your laugh lit up the day, your smile owned my heart.When first I saw you, hypnotized in your grace, lost in your big blue eyes, I knew it would be you.Was it your innocent charm? Dressed for church all fine with a magnolia in your hair, all I could do was stare.Your sweet precious voice that mesmerized the boys, set my heart ablaze, sizzled deep into my soul.Your eyes...

Praying HandsI had a dream with my lord CHRIST He touched my head, not once but twice. I felt my body jump up in bed I saw the nail holes in his hands that bled. I felt the power of his healing hands He showed it to me so I could understand. With faith in our hearts he will heal And his hands you will feel. I awoke that morning with the spirit inside Those praying hands I had to find. I found a figurine of his hands And p...

She is as fine as vintage wine and as sweet as a Georgia peach She was picked at the moment of perfection under the Watchful eye and God's direction. Then she was sent here to earth, given to me by natural birth. He said: this is my gift to you -she will be with you your whole life through She is more precious than diamonds and gold And your love for her will never grow old and will not tarnish or fade For her heart is li...

I close the curtains and put out each lamp,my Sunday morning window's gray with ticking ages,the cool mist of the season nearing.Each cell and promise chilled down to the marrow,turning to ice in me when you only deserved warmth.I can barely endure building it for you,the bonfires telling the truth toevery intricate shadow but my own,the violent flickering like swirling spiritsconstantly joining and letting go.The amber a...

Eran sat quietly as the faces flew past on her screen. It seemed that the search was hopeless with so many people arriving in the country to visit, stay permanently or hide away from somewhere else. It proceeded quickly, but seemed so discouraging. Who knew so many people came into the United States through New York. Boredom set in and Eran pushed her laptop away and leaned back in her chair. As she watched faces fly by,...

I do so love the storm of you. The wild wet winds of your passion Unleashed Ubound Untamed. But it is after the storm, when the calm sets back in and we lie entwined together, those are the moments I most crave. “Pillow time” you called it once. Those long quiet moments No words No sounds No urgency. That is when I seek your eyes with my eyes and drink you in as I let you drink me in, as we explore the each of the other l...

I was raised to believe That everything happens for a reason. It doesn’t matter if that is good or badThere will always be a purpose. So what happened between us? In those precious few moments When we held each other tightand passionately kissing over and over. To the moments you told me During a voice call when you told me That you loved me for the very first timeAll must have had a reason. But know you have left And I c...

You’ve left me, Destroyed me, I don’t know how to heal. Still in disbeliefThat this is happening, It can’t be real You told me we were Soul mates From the very first kissBonded when we put on our ring I mistakenly believed There was no you and me, only us We were strong enough to survive anything You are lost and wandering I’m desperately trying to hold on Say something, tell me we’ll be okay, give me an excuse I regret t...

Most of the time they come early in the morning when I just can't sleep. When I realize that I am alone in our bed now made up of memories and dust. Out of nowhere they are there again the damn questions with no answers. Why her? Why me? Why so young? Why? Of course the only answer I ever get is cloaked in silence. The answers are obvious of course, and really are the only ones possible when one stops and thinks about it....

They had plans They were going to get a place together Start a big family Open a bookstore They have planned it all for years Then it got taken away He saw an innocent girl and took her life Over $20 in cash and a credit card As her girlfriend sat by her bedside, she said, Don't weep for me when I am gone I'll be here, always Live the life we planned Open the store and call it the Reading Corner Have the family we always...

Summer arrived with high heat and humidity. Being near the Hudson River did not help with the humidity. To escape the heat most families had places on the Jersey shore where the family stayed all summer. Neither Marcia nor Naomi's family had a place like that. The girls endured the summer heat together. Almost daily, they went into the woods. The trees provided a canopy, which shadowed the whole area underneath. It was co...

Dark brown eyes of mystery, what hides in your soul? Do you hold joy or pain? Does a heart of love hide there? Dark brown eyes of mystery, why do you stare at me? What do you want with me? Will you steal away my soul? Dark brown eyes of mystery, why do you mesmerize me? What is your temptation? Will you hypnotize my heart? Dark brown eyes of mystery, what feelings do you hide? Can you free my soul? Will you give your hear...

Walking along the beach staring out over the waves. The sun slowly setting As a gentle breeze blows salt onto our lips. I feel your arms tighten pulling me against you. My foot catches on something And I fall, landing on the soft sand. Looking back, I notice a bottle I pick it up and go to place it in my bag when I notice a piece of paper inside. Curiousity getting the better of me I just had to open it Tapping it gently...
