I caught you looking at me
This time I caught your glance and returned that stare
Eighteen and nineteen were long ago
The scar is there
You can let things go but some memories burn and destroy your spirit
See you move on with an attitude but now it is of Gratitude
He showed me the way
A life quite remarkable
You accept not expect
You don't need a lot to be a Prince Charming or to be swept up by one
All it takes is to be loved for the human being that you are
For a very long instant and daily
I treasure what I have and what I learned
He is an original and despite the hurdles we currently face
Together we can conquer it all

You see your world flash through your mind
As you wipe the tears away in the shower so he won"t see
Watching him in pain is heart breaking
You learn how much you love someone and you battle together
Hoping this never happens again but you can never say never
It's a six letter word that turns whatever you knew inside out and upside down
Its not a been there done that situation
Dollar bills blind the cure
Three more Mondays and we bid Cancer farewell
Hoping it stays clear of family and friends
Three more Mondays

You're older but you are not old
They call you a boomer
So I have been told
Respect and Honesty hasn't gone away
Kindness and caring is here to stay
It is a number on a birth certificate
Used to bes are in triplicate
Enjoy your life and live its bounty in stride
Be a participant and don't hide
Too many goods have been exchanged and sold
You're older but you're not old

You are different
You don't look like them
You have nothing in common with them
They torture you with comments, giggles, and making you feel as if you don't go with the flow
You can just go and be ignored
Parents and teachers told you to forget it and let it go
Easier said than done and kids can be cruel
It is their way or the highway
So lunchtime you sat alone
Read and did your homework
Your best friend was writing and poetry
Same holds true today
Difference is I don't take CRAP from anyone
Haven't got time for the those who don't know how to be kind and caring
Princesses and Princes of the world male and female, yes you.

Is it too much to ask to be entertained?
Creative Arts
Performing Arts
Conversation
Nature
Enjoying life
There is a time and place for news and information.
Are we on overload?
Have we been drained of curiosity and wonder?
Did we shut down and shut off?
What have we lost?
What have we gained?
Have we changed so much that what enjoyed is lost forever?
We have lost our patience in the everyday task of living.
Is it too much to ask to be better than we used to be.

People and Places
Friends old and new
Some waiting to meet in person
Shooting the breeze and connecting
Face to face
Person to person
Concentrate on what pleases you and those around you
Let go of what and who wastes your time
Learned the hard way that loss changes more than time and place
Memories only hold on to yesterday
Still cherish them
What matters most is now and tomorrow
Remember today

Gris and Picasso both
fool and train the eye with images magnificently
They make words pop
They play with the eye
It's different shades and takes on a world some just don't see even if they are looking
As a visual learner and a writer, it captures a place I hold dear
Sometimes what stands out holds itself to a higher plane because the music of the heart, soul, and falls into the hands of those that impact the world in a way few imagine and a special few accept

You love who you love
No country or government should dictate otherwise
No religion
No political party
Nor should any State or Country tell wonen how to live their lives.
As a straight women who survived a crime and am forever changed and scarred by it,how dare they!
LGBQT people deserve respect
Think what you want but be kind and thoughtful
Now not yesterday.

Is that all there is?
There is nothing more to say?
Nothing to look forward to
Nothing to share or plan?
Are you trapped in your head?
******* on too  loosely or tightly?
Stuck in neutral?
Is the silence too deafening to you?
Where do we go from here?
Is a there available?
Click and tick of the computer keyboard or Cell phone
Where do we go from here?
Are we going together?
Please don't tell me you abide by the words and deeds of Mr. Despicable Narcissist?

C@rainbowchaser2023

There is no number high enough
And if there were it still would never explain the love we share
So no matter the hurdle
So no matter the delay or interruption
So no matter the storm
We weather it
Stronger
Everlasting
Confident
So incredibly sure
My Love, this is your new love song
with every beat of my heart

C@rainbowchaser2023

You are peacefully napping
Wondering if your dreams are pleasant
Where will you wander and travel ?
Revisiting the past
In touch with the memory of those you have lost
So when those blue eyes open
Quietly, I will await you.
Sleep well baby

C@rainbowchaser 2023

Wasn't looking long ago
He stepped on my heart
That Italian Stallion sat on my soul
Wasn't looking and you found me
In the middle of the night the blue eyes catch me sleeping
Gently cover you making sure pleasant dreams surround you
Best friend and love of my life
Glad you found me and you love me
