I started reading books at age 4 and as soon as I learned how to write the alphabet, I've been writing. I've advocated for others through the written word, composed business documents and legal briefs, have started many cookbooks and am currently semi-working on a few books. I worked previously in business, entertainment law, had my own on-line business/store and I love the dictionary! I love writing in all of it's forms - save tax documents, lol! Just kidding - I just love words....

Such beautiful pain
Such largeness and gain
Hardened by walls
Built up time & time again
White scented petals
Fill the air - so smooth
Fragrantly wafting -
Singing to the Moon
Lovelorn and tired
She's dressed but uninspired
Her mood changes
But her song is the same
Will you come out tonight?
He says with a longing
Will you put on that dress?
A place your body belongs in
She smiles seductively
He knows what that means
His desire shall be curbed
By a meandering dream
Playfully she calls
But he hears - not too well
Lost in his fears
Where his love for her dwells.

In lover's lusts we sit within
I with my ***** and you with your gin
We planned to sail around the world
You wanted a boy, I - a girl
Somewhere, somehow - we lost our way
Or perhaps, I was just scared of my feelings
For I had never met one who could
Make my heart beat so wildly
Or cause me to lose my words...
After all, I am a writer - no, poet
But a writer - yes
Words are my milieu but with you
With you - I lose my ability to express
What I feel and so I acquiesce
To something silly, ridiculous, really
Knowing all the while you were the Love of my Life.
I wanted you for my husband
I think you wanted me to be your wife.

Standing on the Precipice of Time....
Watching the birds fall from the sky...
Life is getting lifeless... listless, unruly
And who or what is killing the bees?
Flowers that have lost their fragrance...
Words that have double meanings -
Life is filled with uncertainty - surely.
I observe the mountains as they melt
Into the ****** sea
Fish are floating - not swimming
Animals disappearing while lifeless, lonely trees
Seem to glare at the sun
Begging for air - no oxygen to spare
What has happened to this paradise of ours?
Did we fall asleep and slumber too much
While wasting the hours?
Did we think it would last forever
While we tended it not...
Consuming, consuming - eating & drinking
Leaving it all in a pile to rot

Woe unto you ole foolish man
You have stepped on my dignity
You've ruined my plans.
The sun comes out
And you walk about
But you never really go anywhere
I met you on that dating site
The one whose name is not quite right
You were lonely, in despair
I thought you might be interesting
Thought you might have a good story
How wrong I was, and now I'm sorry
Incontinuity - a specialty of yours
Is actually continuous and causes our wars
A truce! You say, without reservation
I stare into space and sit with a blank face
Weary of this space and tired of this race
I resign to resign from this without hesitation
Woe unto you ole foolish man
You have stepped on my dignity
You've ruined my plans.

Follow me down to the water's edge
Sharpness and hardness softens there
For a heart that is hollow
Filled with a life full of sorrow
Needs to release its wanton despair.
Follow me down to the river's end
And trust no one on your way there
I'm looking to touch the sun
I'm searching for a little fun
Time to live life without a care.
Follow me over to the creek with rocks
Skip, hop, jump - wear your nicest frock
I promise I won't look - should you disrobe
'Cause I know truth bare naked, doesn't need clothes
Let us move on like the ticking of the clock
Hurry up and swim with me before the tide rolls in
Let us linger in the ocean and release what's never been
Having said all that our hearts wish to bear
As we lie beneath a moonlit sky, trembling, scared
Let us remember these moments and the love within.

Coco is sitting on my lap as she adamant about that
When she is sweet, she is saccharin
With black, velvet fur over her perfectly shaped head
The one with the bat-shaped ears -
She even looks like Batman from behind
Armani, he doesn't like his name very much
For if he did, he'd come more when he is called.
I'm not sure I really like it for him either.
He is truly a pygmy lion and his demeanor is his roar
He let me hold him earlier - but jealous Coco had to interfere
They are both beautiful - in the stereotypical cat way
Individual in their personalities though
Unique in their expressions of themselves as frisky felines
They demand attention -
especially when they have something "important" to say
They will tear up the apartment in one fell swoop
And I refer to their claws as weapons of mass destruction
Seems their claws provide them a means of revenge
A means of recreation as well as means of diffusing stress
Cats stress? Oh, my but yes!
Don't be tardy with the food and certainly,
Don't be ***** when they've pood
If so, you will know their wrath as described above
Cleaning up another mess can cause YOU some great distress
Which will all melt away as they purr at your caress
I don't think that I've found a more rewarding position
Than caring for a cat, despite their disposition
Of Mice and Men, though a great, great tale
Has nothing on Coco and Armani or their magnificent tails
I acquiesce that I am their guest and so, will behave in part
To give love and affection, some discipline or direction
To know just how I will behave
This is "how you train your human"
The way of the master, the feline brigade!

Can anybody tell me what is Right with this world?
Even those in church refuse to budge or curse
The evil that is inside - man, woman, boy, girl
I for one, attest
That sin is at my breast
As I abandon my shame to a wicked, nasty tongue
Still I would never judge
Should plagues beckon at my door
While windows open - close no more
I've never gossipped in such a way
That threatens to destroy all a person's trust
Seemingly in righteousness, your barb has now been ******
Onto the canvas that was my soul
Now shattered, as if it never mattered
In twisted torment, in the name of your holy robe.

Don't let them sway you - you must stay true
Don't let them consume you - you must not be confused
Don't let them make a case for something you know is not real
Don't let them come between us or our fates you will seal
We are but stars in a dark, blue night
Our brightness blinds the wicked one's sight
We have love between us - as it's been through the years
We have warmth and sunshine to calm all our fears
Envious people regret nothing they do
They squish and they squall about others' as they muse
Grievous people stirring up angry words
They twist and they howl, scaring even the birds
No one can alter our fates as they do
But we can eclipse them - yes, me and you!
