Tomorrow Is My Birthday
I Am Excited, I Guess
But It Is Just A Day
Like Any Other Day
I Guess My Excitement
Is Wearing Out All To Soon
And Birthday Cheer Is Fading Away

*~Marian~

Five More Days Until My Birthday
Butterflies Are Fluttering Inside Me
I Am Nervous But Excited
And I Cannot Wait For My Birthday
I Wish I Could Dance And Waltz
Right Now In Fairyland
And Tell The Fairies About
How Excited I Feel

*~Marian~

Onyx, dear, I miss you
I miss your loving presence
In this now lonely house
"Did they put you to sleep?
Did someone adopt you and love you?
Are you living up in Heaven with God?
Or are you living happily on earth?
Are you sad or are you glad?"
So many questions and not enough answers
I miss you so much and it hurts
Not seeing you and your offspring anymore
Of all things I could want and wish for
And if I could wish for just one
I wish you and your offspring
Would come back home and
Keep me company, as I get lonely
Without your presence here
"Onyx, dear, please come home"
I scream it through the darkness
Of the stormy night
Lightening flashing before my eyes
Thunder rumbling in the distance between us
And rain pouring through open window
Drenching my face and cheeks with beads of water
"Onyx, dear" I whisper in your furry ear
Did I ever tell you that I loved you?
Did I ever once say that I adored your very presence?
Did I ever say goodbye to you?
I think I was so hurt I couldn't even cry
But I surely feel like crying now
My heart is broken half in two
Onyx, dear without your presence here
I am lonely here without your offspring
And since I have no brothers or sisters
I miss you even more because I loved you
And I still love you even now
My heart yearns to have you back again
Just to see you once more
And to bring you back home to me
To bring you home....forever"
But my wishes are in vain
For I doubt that I'll ever see you again
But even if I could I know
That I wouldn't be able to keep you here always
Because you either have a new owner
Or you're dead
Onyx dear, I miss you and love you

"Kitty, kitty, kitty!"
My foot kicks and rolls
The sparkly pompom ball
Colored dark green on the carpet
Heart racing with energy coursing
Through my veins
Where are you, Princess?
Ah, finally found you, girl
Underneath mother's writing desk
What a naughty, yet cute thing to do
My sweet pea and beautiful Lady
You are so adorable
Your shiny coat of silver
Seems to glitter
In the brightness
Of the dining room light

*~Marian~

It is so hard to believe
That you are mine
Silver twitching tail
Graceful manners
Golden eyes with a ring
Of emerald around your pupils
You are mine and it so very hard
To believe that you are truly mine
I love you so much, sweetie
Your loud, rumbling purr
Soft, yet high-pitched
Pleading meows
Beckoning me to
Come out of my
Parent's bedroom
And spend some time
With you, my dear girl
It is so hard to stop being
Right by your side or
Cuddled up with you
Or better yet to have you
Sitting on my belly
Or on my lap
I love you, Lady Jane
And I shall never ever stop
Loving you with all my heart
Whispers soft and sweet
"You're my best kitty friend"

*~Marian~

Castles in the air
Made of the cool beige sand
Is where my princess
Is going to live today
She is a princess
And all her gowns are silver
Her crowns are made of rubies and jades
She wears long emerald necklaces
Her slippers are made of crystal glass
And bless her golden heart
For she's going to soar
Upon dusty pink gossamer wings
With swirls made of glitter
To her castles of sand
Built in the sapphire sky

*~Marian~

Looking outside of the van window
Watching the passing scenery
Farms and pastures
Several creeks with bridges
Old abandoned clapboard houses
Antique beauty sings
Homes you can barely see
From the country roads
With long, winding lanes
Fences close in meadows
Undoubtedly used for farm animals
So much seen in just a little time
Three roads or more traveled
It didn't take long
Whispers of nostalgia
Breathed across the country air
Oh, how my heart longs
For something that isn't there
Nostalgic scenery
Created within me
Feelings of nostalgia
And Déjà Vu
Forests singing songs
Of a beautiful season
Lost in the chronicles of time
Created such a poetic atmosphere
And an unknown feeling
That is so hard for even a poetess to describe
Sunlight shining through trees
Sings yet another song
Yet another ode
To a feeling
That no one has ever yet named
Or described
Maybe I am the only one who has felt it
But I can tell you that it felt so good
Sitting there beside my Dad
Lost in feelings and worlds of my own

*~Marian~

Underneath a tall majestic tree
A glow of radiant sunlight
Was like a lamp providing light
For the book I was reading
And you were sitting beside me
I was stroking your silver fur
Whilst reading the novel in my hand
Tall, tall summertime grass
Nodded in playfulness
And waltzing flowers danced
Just for you, dear girl
Just for you
A breeze stirred the grass
And flowers in the meadow
And breezes blew my golden-brown hair
And stirred your dainty silken fur

*~Marian~

They sing a song of melody
Some beautiful tune
That only Fairies sing at night
They ****** in the daytime
They quietly chime in the distance at night
Wind chimes ****** in the forest
Where the Fairies dance at night
In their beautiful Fairy Ring
Where all Fairies gather for the dance
Where we dance in a Ring
Wind chimes are our music
And they chime in the night breezes
A tune for us to waltz to
Even butterflies join the dance
And I am waltzing with the moon
Who smiles happily from his chair
In the dark, dark midnight sky
I love to hear the wind chimes
When they ****** in the Spring
And Summertime breezes
And in the wind of a thunderstorm
When they may chime vigorously
In the rain-scented winds
That send a twister of leaves
Flying through the air
Wind chimes soothe the mind
And tired body at night
And send sweet dreams
Into your head

*~Marian~

I wish I had some puppies
And some more kitties!

*~Marian~

Cuddlesome
Adorable
Loveable
Light of my heart
I* loved you dearly
Ever in my heart I cherish you

**~Marian~

Sparkling disco *****
And music...
I can hear the music
Playing in my ears
I'm dancing with you
The colorful lights
And paper lanterns
Create flickering shadows
And all the while
The disco ***** are twinkling
And the music is forever playing
Some silent song

*~Marian~

Tea Party Time For All
So Far I Have Only Three Guests
Anyone Else Want To Come?
I Am Always Delighted
For More Guests
For Tonight Is Our
Tea Party Night

*~Marian~

Where everything is Spring
And leaves are turning green
Secret gardens begin to bloom
Their scent mingling with that of distant rain
Where everything is pure sunshine
And their rays slant through the forest trees
And pour across my woodland path
I walk hand and hand with those rays
As they shine full fledge into my face
My forest path begins to end
And there is an opening in the forest
Leading me to a quiet, peaceful meadow
Where the flowers forever grow
They never wither, but take their growth
From the mighty hand of God
In the wind and rain
Sweet bluebirds and cardinals
Sing upon the boughs of the pine trees
Swaying in the wind
Morning glories bloom
And honeysuckles climb
And spiral and wrap their vines
Around the majestic trunks of the white oak
A little pond cascades and flows
Blue-greenish water gurgles and bubbles
Singing some sweet song
An anthem of glory
Where everything is Spring
Lemonade in hand
I half sit, half lay
On the grassy bank
Beside the garden pond
And read my book
A pitcher of mint or lemon iced-tea
Paints my harmony
Of life in bloom
Where everything is Spring

*~Marian~

Spring Melts The Snow
As Winter Comes Then Quickly Goes
Little Breezes Stir The Leaves Of Green
And New Little Flower Buds Are Seen.
Spring Is For The Newness Of Life
And To Me It Will Bring Healing And Melt The Strife
Sun Shines In The Warm Air
And Birds Chirp Happily Without A Care.

Summer Comes Bringing The Hottest Of Weather
It Shall Always Be The Hottest Season Forever
She Is Happy And Joyful As She Brings Sunshine
Yet She Can Vanish Quickly By The Cruel Hand Of Time.
She Brings The Butterflies Dancing In The Sky
She Brings Warm Wind That Sweetly Sighs
She Brings The Unfurling Flowers
And Days Full Of Longer Hours.

Autumn Comes More Bitter And Cold
At Least That Is What I Am Told
She Brings The Leaves Twirling In The Wind
And The Smoke That Fireplaces Up The Chimney Did Send.
She Brings With Her A Cold Stinging Air
And Jack Frosts Cold Ground She Walks Upon Without Care
The Colorful Leaves She Paints With A Song
The Days She Makes Shorter Rather Than Long.

Winter Is The Coldest Of Them All
Yet She Loves To Hold Hands With Fall
Winter Sends The Snowflakes That Stick To My Hair
And Melt Instantly As If They Were Never There.
Winter Sends The Most Bitter Howling Breezes
Which Blow The Last Leaves On The Trees
She Puts The Flowers And Animals Sleep
'Til The Day When Spring Comes And Winter Sleeps.

Sand Sparkled On The Shore
Waves Crashed Against The Rocks
It Is Just A Dream
Held A Bird On The Palm Of My Hand
I Danced With A Fairy At Night
Sprinkled Fairy Dust With Pure Delight
It Was Just A Dream
I Saw The Mighty Hand Of Time
Threw Hourglasses On The Shore
Emptied The Sand In The Waves
Time Is Just A Dream
I Swung On The Swing
High Up Into The Bright Blue Sky
Felt As Light As A Bird In Flight
It Was Just A Lovely Dream
Picked Some Flowers And Put Them
Into A Flower Basket On My Arm
It Was Just A Surreal Dream
I Clasped Onto Life
As If It Would End Soon
Cherished Each Day As Forever
For Time Is Just As Sand Flying
Through The Salty Breeze On The Shore
I Spoke To The Flowers And Animals
Called Each One By Name
Made Friends With Porcelain Dolls
And Fairies, They Were My Sisters
And The Gnomes And Elves Were My Brothers
They All Welcomed Me As Their Princess Fairy Sister
It Was Just A Fantasy Dream
I Kissed The Rain And It Stuck To My Face
I Embraced The Snowflakes With Love
I Danced With Sunshine
And Lived With The Moon
Who Took Me To See The Landscapes In The World
All The Beauty We Saw
We Captured And Remembered It
Which Treasured It In Our Hearts
Oh, It Was Such A Lovely Dream
The Mist Kissed My Face
And The Wind Caressed My Soul
I Found Healing In Flying With Fairies And Birds
Found Pleasure In Talking To The Stars
That Twinkled In The Milky Way, Silky Way
It Was Just Another World
I Slept In A Bed Of Ferns
Lived In The Clouds
And Jumped Over Colorful Rainbows
I Drew Pictures In The Sky Just For You
Though They Remained Unseen By Your Mortal Eyes
That Cannot See The Things Of Fantasy
That I Created Only For You
It Was A Moment I Never Forgot
I Rode Upon Unicorns
Befriended The Proud But Sweet And Beautiful Night
Evening And Twilight Came To See Me
And Crowned My As Their Own
Until The Day I Die, I Will Never Forget It

*~Marian~

Raindrops Of Time
Fall From The Grey
Overhanging Clouds
Rain Creates Mud Puddles
The Sky Is Black With Thunder Clouds
Thunder Rumbles Through In The Distance
And Lightening Flashes Close By
I Am Scared
As I Have A Phobia Of Storms
But I Have To Admit
They Are Very Beautiful
Rain Drips Onto The Porch Steps
Washing It Free Of Any Dirt Or Dust
The Stifling Hot Summer Air
All Of A Sudden Turns Cooler
The Winds Pick Up And Breezes Blow
Through The Black And Greyish Sky
It's Time For A Thunderstorm
Scattering The Precious Raindrops Of Time

*~Marian~
