This one was written for a dear friend...One bad choice ruined her life...Love you always and forever (((Jillie)))... "Tomorrow's Promise" She keeps tomorrow's promise stored in the spare room of a troubled mind Twisted thoughts make love hate happiness sadness impossible to discern... Locked and bolted, a patchwork of heavy metal doors secures every entrance ensuring even the most determined visitor will not get close enough to press a white oleander against shatter proof glass... The nightmare that refuses to sleep gulps cloudy dregs from a well running dry pausing only long enough to inhale oxygen from a scant supply in the cubicle she calls home... Hard rain beats down new growth and breaks off tender buds as it relentlessly washes away a frail foundation of loose sand and looser sanity... "What if's" play out to a mind bending beat as limbic lyrics repeat defeat... What if the water was crystal clear and tears could flow like rain What if block foundations had no windows barred in shame... What if libation's crutch was not a river drowning sorrow What if time was meaningless and yesterday was still tomorrow... What if she had not taken the winding mountain road What if she had not ventured out or for the curve she'd slowed... What if the hand of fate took leave, just winged and flew away Would not tomorrow's promise soar in verisimilitude today... � Oh my...this sounds sooo hopeless. Wondering how and what type of pain could have done that much damage ? Terrible.... Hi ((((Maxi))))...Thank you for reading! A very sad story indeed...My friend was driving drunk...The accident she caused resulted in the death of two people...She was found guilty of vehicular homicide...In Tennessee it's a class B felony that carries a mandatory sentence of not less than 8 years or more than 30 years...She was fined $20,000.00 and given a 10 year sentence....She is a good woman who made a terrible mistake ....Don't drink and drive people.... |

This one was written for the man who "had me at hello"...I will always love you!
Choices... When first we spoke I felt your spirit hot upon my brow T'was winter here but colder there where you stood in the morning sun wanting me... I could hear the sweat in your voice taste the salt of it on my quivering lips... And though the miles separated us your warm caress was more than enough to satisfy my dream of you... More than enough to comfort me when faint stars glowed and lust revealed our story... I'd rather have the promise of you than lay my head on the chest of another as he traces the curve of my unyielding body... For only your voice, smoldering with thoughts of me, can melt this cautious heart Only your sigh, incorrupt, can wet my innermost desire... � |

Just funnin'ya babe. It rather have it all,and you're not kidding,You didn't let it go easy. I loved it! very special to me. <3 |

This one is for you mama! ...Happy 91st birthday!...I love you so very much!
What We Keep... I walked into the room anticipating your smile... My arrival startled you. I sensed you reaching, watched in horror as you struggled to outrun confusion... Blinking back tears I approached your bedside while reaching deep within for my own smile. Tenderly, I embraced you... Unable to resist, I buried my face in silky, snow capped hair. Breathing in that familiar scent, I felt your body relax. I kissed your cheek and whispered, "I love you mama"... Gently pushing me away, you cupped my face in time worn hands and forced me to look up... With a practiced swish of thumbs, you brushed away my tears... Still unwilling to make eye contact, I pulled back and lowered my head. You sighed and made that familiar clucking sound. I didn't have to look at you to know you were rolling your eyes... Leaning in close, you placed a cool, dry cheek against mine and whispered back, "I love you too child, now give us a smile"... � |

...Happy Valentine's Day Everyone...
I Want You... I want to be the soft wind That stirs your inner need The dreams that you keep hidden The earth that holds your seed... I want to be the sunlight That melts your frozen heart And dries your silent tears When day is turning dark... I want to be the music That soothes your tired back And strokes away the pain and fear Life lived alone begat... I want to be your lover The passion in your soul The one who makes you hunger The one who makes you whole... I want you to lie with me Beneath a star filled sky Let me rock you in my cradle Let me love you till I die... � |

In The Blink of an Eye...
So subtle at first, I almost didn't notice A whispered brush against my cheek Cooling me... Blinking my eyes I hesitated for a moment A shiver ran down my spine My nipples responded... I felt your eyes on me but could not muster the courage to look at you... I knew if I did you would know... Seconds seemed like hours As the cool air caressing my cheek began to burn... Flushed, erect under a thin cotton shirt, I struggled for control I was sure I would lose it if you moved Or spoke... Then the unexpected happened... A gust of wind caught me off guard I looked up at you from beneath a sweep of tangled hair Admiring eyes with just a hint of amusement in them met mine And changed everything... � |
