Angel Man

                          Angel Man

 Like the comforting whisper of the wind, you subtly blew into my life,

 kind words and gentle touch erasing; scars created from years of strife.

The hope and promise that you brought, filled my heart with song. 

My soul had been waiting for you, for so very long.


Without knowing or expecting much, we seemed to connect;

minutes turned to hours, and time went by too quick.

You took my hand and gently, with kindness, care and grace,

kissed me, held me, desired me, passion evident in your face.


Memories of places my soul yearned for, reawakened with your touch.

my woman's soul was needy, responding to your man's lust, oh so greedy.

Giving, getting, wanting more; both of us so spent.

I have no doubt my time with you, had to be heaven sent.


This small town girl will never regret, 

the passion that we shared;

for your gentle touch healed me,

and your light made me quickly forget.


To be so close and vulnerable, 

in this brazen brand new light;

you were so different  from all I'd known,

yet you felt so very right.


So much more loving, than anything I'd known...

the gentle rain playing a song of our own.

Lulled into a peaceful slumber, comforted by your snore.

Every time I think of  you, all I want is more.


To awaken to your passion and touch again,

the desire I feel for you cannot be a sin.

My lips instinctively seek your kiss each time,

my body craves your touch. I want you to be mine,


I will try to do it right and learn from my mistakes,

not to give my heart away; but let love define it's shape.

So, in spite of the fact that I could love you madly,

in spite of desire and wanting you badly,


I'll hope and I'll pray that this time I'm right

and the connection we shared will one day shine bright.

In giving you back the time that you need,

I'm paving a path with good loving seed.



May your eyes and heart stay open,

your memory of me burn bright.

A heart up in the heavens, 

lets me know, meeting you was right.


If its not you, then I can only plead,

that someone with your magic 

will come and claim my soul,

proof of love from up above, that is all I need. 

You secured my insecurity, with your gentle soul.

You spoke words my heart so needed and

I'd forgotten how to feel.

Your kindness was a love note, that truly helped me heal.


My words to you were honest, as your kiss upon my lips.

My truly unforgettable, forever angel man....

You cradled me to strong again, 

your passion helped me stand.

Broken Songbird

Locked inside this home,
filled with mold and lack of care
my lungs are my wings;
and my wings they have no air.

I grasp onto a thread of hope
I've managed to restore,
but in my restless sleep
my hope has slipped away once more.

I am a bird, trapped in a cage.
I've fallen to the floor.
Drowning in the river of my tears,
my wings can fly no more.

Hearing the last small sound emitted,
from my tattered broken core,
my angels send a gentle hand,
to lift me up and help me stand.

How did she know I was broken,
lying hopeless on the floor.
How did she know I had lost my will
and I could no longer soar?

With the insight of a God I can't reach,
she has the wind I need,
and on the wings of laughter and friendship,
I begin to breath.

The nighttime pillow of despair,
waits for me to sleep,
and smothers me with its familiar scent ,
slowly crushing out my air.

Awakened again, I lay motionless,
on the floor of this cage I have known,
the cage of depression, of sorrow,
my familiar home.

I am but a songbird, and the air of music I need
music gently heals my soul
without the song I'm singing,
I'll simply cease to breath.

This cage will not contain me,
I've found my strength once more.
slowly I am climbing out,
to find space where my soul can soar.

I was a broken songbird,
and thought I would sing no more.
my guardian angels rescued me
and helped me fly once more.

Red Flag Warning

RED FLAG WARNING


Loving you,                                          
is like swimming,

with a red flag warning.


knowing all the risks, 

warnings all about.

Still, I walk in on my own,

feeling fear that's never shown.


Wanting for my love to calm your storm,

my peace to soothe your rage, 

and bring us safely back to shore.


rage buried deep within the waves.

hidden to everyone, but me.

no one understands why there's a red flag warning.


Your outer calm erases my doubt,

I've walked too far in; now I can't get out,

I see your red flag rage as I go under.


I am drowning in the sea,

of your tumultuous love for me.

No one safe at shore, can see me sinking. 


No one safe at shore, is even thinking

there's a red flag warning.


I am sinking,

I am drowning in the sea

of your tumultuous love for me.


no one safe at shore can hear me shout,

no one safe at shore can pull me out.

your undertow of rage has pulled me under.

No one safe at shore can see me sinking,

No one safe at shore is even thinking,

there's a red flag warning.

My Daddy

My Daddy

My daddy left when I was four;
tears wet his cheeks as he shut the door.
He drove for miles , nowhere to go,
miles of cold and dirty snow.

Daddy wanted to see us grow;
yet empty years passed with nothing to show,
for the children they'd conceived.
Empty years, lonely nights; one big broken dream.

I grew up without knowing my dad;
never realizing the depth of love he had.
Seldom worrying about him, my life was my own;
much love and affection to my mama was shown.

High school has come and gone
those days have passed me by.
In our lives, he couldn't share;
I was taught to believe he didn't care.

Now grown up and on my own,
I finally know my dad.
He knows my fears, he soothes my pain,
he shares in joys I have.

Daddy loved us children so;
but, still he had to go,
his punishment was to lose us too,
the pain of loss is all he knew.

All the things that I have missed,tear me apart inside.
I wanted a family, oh so bad.
One set of parents, a happy home;
this I never had.

My Village

MY VILLAGE

They say it takes a village to raise a child,

it also takes a village, to hold us up

when we’re challenged with the extra mile.

a hug,

a smile,

a lended hand…

when a life is broken up,

a village holds you ‘til you can stand.

A village is the knowledge that

great advice is always near,

assistance when it’s needed…

some hope, some love, some cheer.

A village cares for children,

whether near or far away.

A village gives us solid ground,

when we don’t know, what to do or say.

In my life, I will always keep,

thoughts of angels watching over me

while I sleep.

There are angels placed on Earth;

protecting lives, is their worth.

Caring, sharing, knowing when,

to fill my cup back up again.

You have been my angels,

you are my solid ground.

With my whole heart I thank you

for taking time to be around,

For love you give so freely,

your care, your help, your strength.

You helped me stand back up again,

when my soul was broken, my faith so thin.

I am thankful for each of you.

there are no words more true.

Thanks written out in a million notes. 

So well deserved, from me to you.
notes I've made up in my mind, time and again....

written in my heart and soul,

many thanks I've penned.

So many thoughts, you will never know,

I regret that my thanks didn't always show.

I love you.

I appreciate you.

My thoughts are with you all the time.

I am truly blessed

to call this family mine.

Without you, I don't know,

what we would have done.

You helped to build me up again,

until my face could feel the sun.

Our lives are better because of you.

You have been my rock, my shelter, my steady,

whenever I have needed you,

your love has been so ready.

You are my village.

I love you.

The Heart of My Mother

Summer Lullaby

The gentle caress of the summer breeze and warm kiss of the sun,

Wash over my skin with a soft sensuality my body craves.

The steady tempo of  the waves rolling onto shore,

create  a rhythmic summer song that lulls me to sleep.
