I have found great joy in expressing myself through the creative process. It can be a relaxing, releasing, and invigorating. The best feeling is when you put the pen (or pencil) to the page and the words flow freely like they are a song that your soul is singing or you take a photograph that completely captures the moment. Creating is healing. I hope you enjoy some of the work that I'm sharing with you here.
Meet Me
Meet me at the lake tonight
When I call you to me
where the water graces the sand
and the moon's light shimmers
and the shooting stars promise
Come to me and whisper
Remind me who I am
for I have forgotten
lost in the abyss
you wish to be rescued from
I need your help
to hold my hand
to save me, too
Through the silence
awakening in the darkness
burnt embers lightly flicker
fanned by the wind
of the wings of a hawk
that sings of strength
and quiet wisdom
Rest here for this night
Warmth envelopes like the sun
Listen for the ancient beat
the distant drum,
the soul's heart beat
which speaks of timeless rhythm
and reminds us.
Right here under my wings
Ignite and be new again
Dream of wolves with me and run
Lengthen the night into tomorrow
Find the dawning of day
As the butterfly takes flight
renewed.
Meet me at the lake tonight
when I call you to me
swim into the water
fearless and free
twisting, turning, leaping
like dolphins amongst rainbows
Find a place there
where nothing is missed
as nothing is missing
all is well, perfect,whole, and complete
as we were created
as the world was meant to be
Close your eyes then
and Listen to the song
that speaks truth to you, now
Meet me at the lake tonight
and sparkle with the stars
fill the universe with laughter
of carefree memories and songs
let the warm breeze caress your skin
and tingle in your heart
rediscover your paradise
be at peace
be free

Dreaming
My thoughts dream of touch
Engulfing my nights and days
Because a touch softly whispers
What words can seldom say
A slow, enticing tickle
From soft fingertips
Moon and stars glow
As lips brush warmly upon lips
The security felt
In a warm embrace
Each knows without a glance
The desire in the others face
Without a sound
So much is said
These are the thoughts
Inside my head
Wondering if this fiction
Will one day become true
As I lie here alone
Dreaming of you.

Take Me To That Place
Take me to that place
where it is just
the two of us.
Untouchable and unbreakable
Where the emotions are so strong
Engrained so deeply
That the only way to be
Is together.
Where all of my doubts and anxieties
Are wiped away
By the music in your laughter
And the warmth in your voice
A whisper and a promise
Make my knees weak,
And my convictions strong.
Take me to that place,
Where are hearts beat as one
To the rhythm of our song
That melody we share
Just the two of us.
And we begin the dance of love
Our hearts, Our souls, Our minds
Entwined.
We melt into each other.
Hold me close
And I am complete.
Take me to that place
Where we lose ourselves
In each other
Where the sun is warm
And the birds sing
And you wash over me
With all the brilliance
and beauty and wonder
of a sunset or a starlit sky
And I am inspired.
Take me to that place
Full of bliss and your sweet love
Where the distance between us
Is no more.
And I can feel your breath in my hair
And your lips on my skin.
Your enticing scent fills the air
And I can feel you.
I can feel you deep down
Inside of me.
Consuming every part of me
Like the flames that burn there
Take me to the heights of passion
And adoration.
Hold me in that timeless embrace
And I won't ever let go.
Take me to that place
Over
and over
and over again.
Take me home.
And find me there
Forever more.

Meant to Be
The world no longer seems as before
No longer dismal with sparse patches of purity.
Now, oh now, the world is but a dream
Full of brilliance and hope and grandeur
A once glaring sun now shines as it brings warmth
Stars and constellations sparkle magic above us
The frosty, crisp snow warms my heart,
As it provides a secure, warm blanket.
The intensity of passion
And oh - the bliss! The erotic buzz!
How sweet and enticing you are
And you create a world equal to that
For me, something so long awaited
Yet so often cruelly denied
Restoration of hope and desire
Fulfillment never thought possible
No dream, no fantasy, no image defined
Could possibly have prepared this soul
Every waking moment my world is love
Yet ever moment can never add up to enough
You are a constant matter of intrigue:
Sweet, unbelievable, spectacular you
The world is now the right side up
As you have so beautifully turned it upside down,
Inexplicable, stunning romance
As the world was meant to be.

Comfort
Stay warm in my heart, love
Be forever immortal
Here’s a safe place for my one and only
In the pure depth of my heart and soul
Never to change or subside
Growing more vibrant in each passing moment
I will keep you here forever
If it is your wish to remain
And the world will be a blissful paradise
Protected by sweet harmony
The music we make together
Rocks your memory in gentle lullaby
I will love you forever
Stay warm in my heart.

Seasons
New beginnings and fresh spring time air,
Carried by the breeze that flows through my hair.
Refreshing as the life that you breathe into me,
Abundant new experiences so delightful and carefree.
Raindrops fall like diamonds in the summer sunlight,
Splashing on crystal clear water; such a magical sight.
The rolling waves thrust slowly onto the shore,
As waves of our passion leave us wanting more.
Autumn brings a painting all yellow, orange, and red,
Like the golden images that float inside my head.
You, me, and the seductive candlelit atmosphere,
No matter when, you can always find me here.
Snowflakes dance past street lights on the journey to the ground,
Landing in gentle romance without any sound.
They fall in my hair and land on my lips,
So I kiss them and ask heaven to send you my kiss.
Stars twinkle brightly no matter the season,
Shining brilliantly with purpose and reason.
I surrender to my hearts true desire, thanking Heaven above,
And the universe gazes back at you, glistening with my love.
Every year, every month, every moment of every day,
Can you feel the adoration and passion I send your way?
I see you in the magic and beauty everywhere,
I feel it in my heart and I can always find you there.
I wish you elation, butterflies, warmth, and hope in your soul,
Nothin' but love for this connection that makes us whole.
As I await the seasons that we'll soar through hand and hand,
Know that I need you and want you - you'll always be my man.

The Dream
As I awake, cat stretch in the sun
I remember, I was the dream again
I was the sun, the rock, the wind
I was the waters rushing through it all
Standing on a mountain peak
firey in the passion of the sun
I stood there, tall and ready
Daring to move- to set myself free
Born in a leap of faith
Embracing the possibility of the infinite unknown
The sun cleansed me
as I cleansed myself
the rock gave me strength
as I gave myself strength
the wind refreshed me
as I refreshed myself
the waters renewed me
as I renewed myself
My Goddess within,
You are all knowing power; beauty.
I am this presence.
I am a Goddess; shining
I adorn my crown of gold
I smell as fresh flowers do
I am flowing, aware, passionate
I am intriguing and strong
This is me-empowered.
My every day self is amazing
Goddess of love that I am
shining kindness and bliss to all
I am everywhere, here, now.
My dreams gave me wings
as I take steps forwards
My eyes open and I am Awakened
Which is the dream?

Sunday Morning.
Snowflakes falling; softly softly
Waltzing towards their bed of white.
The crisp chill in the November air,
Brings you back into my mind tonight.
It's funny what can trigger a memory;
a melody, a word or two, or even a scent.
This time of year, when we first embraced,
Now bitersweet as I'm not sure what it meant.
The frosty cool temp of winter's first breath,
freeze my soul-torn tears upon my cheek.
I'd give anything in this moment to see you,
To smell you, to kiss you, or just hear you speak.
Sunday mornings were our time to dance,
Your sweetness kept me safe and warm.
Now all I'm left with is sorrow and questions-
How did my rainbow revert back to a storm?
Do you look upon this winter wonderland,
and, with a smile, remember me too?
Do you feel sorrow & regret, or just love?
I wish, I wish, I knew what to say to you.
I know you would not want to see me cry,
lost and broken, depressed and worn.
I should be free as a falling snowflake,
on this chilled, November morn.
I sigh, knowing I need to let go of you,
knowing you won't be knocking on my door.
Not today, but one future snowy Sunday,
you'll be the memory that taught me to soar.
