American I am a full time single mother of three in graduate school for Elementary Education. I will be certified to teach 1-5 and special education. I am thankful everyday the everything changes. Spend my spare time, what little there is, finding the me that was lost or maybe just buried. My children see me work hard, play hard, and love like crazy. My two favorite quotes for now - / / I may not have gone where I intended to go, / but I think I ended up where I needed to be. / -Douglas Adams / / Everybody is genius. / But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, / it will live its whole live believing that it is stupid. / -Einstein
Soft flesh exposed in the dim moon light, We embrace our needs and desires. Warm, wet, heat radiating between my thighs, Your hard raw power has awaited this night. My body pulsates in time with your heart, Two become one instantly, seamlessly. Come home to me my love, I wait for your return before I start.

A Tale of Nights to Come
My hearts been broken,   It never hurt this much. Every breath, every step, Every moment causes pain. The world feels fuzzy, Under this unending haze. Asleep, awake, it changes nothing, I wonder if I am still sane. Someone, somewhere, show mercy, I am on my knees begging please. No way, nowhere, never foresaw, That our ending would start. I fear that I did this somehow, The thought is too much to bare. I miss smiling, I miss happiness, I miss you, I miss my heart.

Can't Breathe
Here is to that one kiss The one that changed it all Here is to falling like fool You are now the one I miss Here is to praying I am right That you are real and mine Here is to dreams coming true In your thoughts by day and dreams by night Here is to those who jump and yell "Geronimo" do or die trying Here is to my beautiful distraction I'm yours now, one kiss and I fell

Danny Boy
Today was so good I made pancakes, no blueberries We went for a walk Took the long way this time You picked flowers along the way I enjoyed our talk Did laundry and dishes I made the bed Turned on the radio You danced with me Blondie curls and pink dress swayed I love you more then you know The sunset as I started dinner You prefer peanut butter and jelly Soft innocent laughter fills the air The cat fell off the couch, again You and he are thick as thieves He sleeps tangled in your hair I heard the phone and knew Our day together had ended You say, "Tomorrow let's color" Why can't they leave us alone I can't breathe in their reality Darkness finds a childless mother

Tomorrow Let's Color
Somewhere in the infinite darkness It comes, a sound, a whisper barely No one could be with her in this place Souls wither in such utter emptiness Lights illuminate the scene, illuminate everything Open is the door leading to her room Open are the innocent children's eyes Their cries come, their fear is paralyzing Voices she knows, wishing it wasn’t so Recognition accompanies crushing disappear She fell so deep, so easily, so instantly Unheard she screams, “Leave now, please go” Track marks exposed, she managed to cover Once hidden needles, buried deep in her vain Pointless masquerade among beautiful ignorance Heartbroken they beg , “Please wake mother” Under heavy gray skies, beneath a leave barren tree No child should sit beside the grave of mommy Her princess baby, one and only boy, dancing little lady Lost in unending blackness, crying out, searching for me.

Lost Mommy, Lost Babies
I really shouldn’t ever wonder or ask why A bird with a broken wing simply can’t fly Eight point star, you reap what you sow It found me, this is all I really know I only climbed up some, not out, not free Darkness calls, “come back, falling is easy” I want to heal, want to move beyond fear Lost the me I was, if I scream will anyone hear Watching it burn tore at me like a hot knife Must be the consequence for my wasted life Lonely for so long, emptiness so unending No one sees, no one knows my thinking Give up, give in, live a life of hating my sin Look up, look within, live like today I will win Help me, I know so clearly what I should choose Help me, I know so clearly what I stand to loose

Help Me
It is so hard to believe anyone, or anything, anymore His hands were strong, his touch was like no one before He looked in my eyes and I made myself believe just maybe My head resting on his chest I prayed he was for only me We were standing wrapped in each other’s arms that night How could one man, a total stranger, feel so suddenly right I couldn’t tell him how he moved me, I had to hold back He could never understand I saw he had what others lack Nothing so surprisingly short should hurt so deep or so long I can still feel him in the darkness, so beautiful, so strong Never been this lost before, never known that kind of joy Always wanted a chance to fall in love with a real cowboy

Real Cowboy
Every morning she opens her eyes to the same familiar faces smiling Every morning he opens his eyes knowing he is missing something Her day is planned down to the minute; she chooses and wants it this way His day is planned down to the minute; he has no choice and no say Everyday it’s homework, cheer leading, or church she has no time to doubt Every day waiting, hoping, and praying someone will pay so he can get out She struggles to keep it going, keep it all straight, keep everyone on track He struggles to keep it together, keep the lies straight, keep from looking back. Every night she bathes them, reads a bedtime story, and gives kisses goodnight Every night he fights the memories, prays they know he wants to hold them tight She knows she is all they have, the only one to show them a better way to live He knows he failed them, this time they may not be able to forget or forgive Every minute her heart is filled with the joy found in moments only she will see Every minute his heart breaks knowing he lost the chance to be the dad he could be She fights tears when they ask why, “My daddy is lost” is all the baby can say He fights tears when she says, “I won’t bring them here. You made it this way”.
