As you hold me in your arms
Our fingers entwined together
A current of energy
flowing from your body to mine
So strong and exhilarating
I melt into you
My heart racing
my breathing erratic
I feel like , I could explode
From this overwhelming feeling & energy
Your energy and soul
connecting to mine
I have never felt you like this before
and ,  I can’t wait to feel you like this again

Tear at my flesh

you still can never
reach my soul

Daring and Willfull

trying to get in
despite the pain

Knuckles bruised
not giving up

wanting to reach there
for you see

you can't hurt me

I'm blessed in this flesh

Reincarnation
built this fence
around me

Sadly you will lose
as , I stand here
looking into your hell
Seeing what once was human

now all , I see is
the sad sad
weaker of you

I live in spite of you

and you will never
reach what's
mine

my soul is human

You are daring and fun
You draw me in
I can't resist
I can play
I give it right back
sacarastic & flirty
You wanna try
I give it right back
Call me mouthy
Whatever
I can see
see what's going on
I got ya baby
Wanna play
Let's play
Dam he's ****
I like this game

Waking up finding the cold
wrap around me like a ghost
Grabbing me tight holding me
in his grip
Trying to warm and break free
It reminds me to think and
remember what I know
It's only in my thoughts
think warm think warm
It's then I begin to feel
the heat and warm I do
No thanks to you

When I dream
I dream of waking to find you
Why do I always think of you
Why do you consume my nights
Why do I always think of the past
The past I can not undo
The choices I made
The choices you made
We are all victims of our past
When we learn to grow and respect the power of our choices maybe then we
learn the power of our decisions
Make them with grace
Think before you do
What's done is done
Will you wish it to be different
Will you look back haunted
by the decision you made
That's the learning curve
don't be to quick to answer
and seal the fate of your future
You may find yourself haunted
and wanting a do over
that can't be given by your
answer that fateful day

Deeply I am lost

I feel my navigation
has spun outta control
I was content knowing
my destination
I felt secure sailing
through life
Knowing my gps
was in hand
I couldn't get lost
I had someone whom
I could call
so now
I'm lost at sea
I have lost my gps
How will I sail in life
now that
my call is no longer
a minute away
my navigation has
broken
Will , I just drift on land
Will , I sail again
I just don't know

Where does time go

Do you ever wish

You could go back

and redo
Now that you know

how it turned out
It's the way it is

So when your frustrated

Having a bad day
Be careful what you say

There is no do over
It's in that moment

Your life could change

forever
Listen to yourself

think about it
Without meaning to

It is exactly what happens

in that moment
Regret lasts

you can't take it back

No redo remember

that ...

Ghosts & Goblins
dance in the dark
Skeletons are crawling
in yards everywhere
Cauldrons begin to
boil as brooms
ready for flight
Witches gather
in delight for
soon it's
HALLOWEEN
Night
It's time to prepare
to ***** and scare
Time to plug in the
lights & decorate creepy pumpkins  
Don't forget the spiders
they like crawl and bite.
Let's all have fear & fun this
Halloween night !!

Being a grandmother is a beautiful gift
I became a grandmother in January.
My son's 1st child.
Sadly I have yet to hold or meet my little grandson Rex.
The girlfriend has decided that no family can meet him.
My son has decided to agree.
I raised him better than this he was so close to us and especially me.
So sad so confused never thought it would turn out like this.
I don't know what he thinks I've never done to deserve this.
I don't know why he doesn't stand up and say this is not happening.
That baby deserves to know his family.
We accepted her into our family.
She's always had some issues but this is the final straw.
Time is flying by and that little boy is growing up without our love and our spoils.
I yearn to hold him
Tell him I love him have pictures taken of us too.
It's like I say you never know what's going to happen tomorrow.
I could die tomorrow then what would happen then how would they feel.
I pray that doesn't happen.
I also pray , I meet that little beautiful boy..
A grandmother's love is special and , I hope
, I get to share that with my beautiful grandson.

Today you were born
And I wasn't there
I wanted to be

I wanted to hear you first coo
I wanted to tell you
Welcome to this world
I love you

I wanted to capture the beginning
To put pictures in a book for you
You are my grandson
Your daddy is my son

He has made me so proud
He has grown into a amazing
man
I am so excited for you
Your life will be filled with love
With fun and adventure
You are my joy
Your grandma loves you
and just know
I will always be here for you
Happy Birthday Rex Emil Bear

You can try and try
Nothing changes
You can give and give
No one says thank you
You can cry and cry
No one wipes your tears
So why do we keep going
trying caring
because we are human
because it's who we are
We don't give up or not care
We just put it away
and preserver..

I turned 50
I am still not sure
how to feel about it
I don't look it
But I have lived it
The scars the hills I have
climbed the struggles I have
overcome
It's definitely been 50 yrs
Yet I know more will come
and I will persevere
I am strong and I am still here
I have seen and experienced some beautiful things in these 50 years like my children like the birth of my grandson I've also dealt with a lot of pain and I know I got a good 20 years left and I'm going to live it I'm going to laugh I'm going to enjoy it I'm going to to do those things I want to do and I'm going to be grateful for everything because it's got me here and now I'm 50 so here we go to another 20 years

I have resolved
the importance of real
The real keep it realistic
they tend to be respectful
they easily refrain from judging
They are refreshing and restore the rather cool way of being
There's no rage no requirement
its to be at a real state of being
rather then living in continuous frustration and in competition
It's remembering to keep it simple
Start each day to restore and revive
Reality keeps us from rendering ourselves ridiculously out of control
Living real is rousing stimulating
So keep it rad keep it relative

In swirling clouds of silver frost
The disk of Luna lies concealed
Across the Autumn sky they race
Over this shadow realm surreal
🌀
On this evening shadows now, I gaze
A gentle wind swirls through the trees
From depths of sleep, I watch half-dazed
Tiny branches stirring in the breeze
🌀
Lights are flickering neath mystic skies
Through gaps in trees, they shine within
Entranced is my mind as,I watch surprised
This spectral beauty in the wind
🌀
In dark shadows spirits are adrift
Translucent ghosts and dryads old
From this beach I sense their gifts
Strange stories from these woods untold
🌀
Oh let me join thy fest
spirits of this beautiful night
Before the Moon sets in the east
revel her misty light.

As I start to reflect
I begin to see a part of
life , I missed
It went on by
without saying hi
I had no clue it was there
I had no clue I might miss it
So here I am figuring it out
There's no way to say it
But I hope I can share it
I hope I can give it away
this life lesson
Maybe someone will
See it and stop it from
walking by and miss it
Then maybe they can
live it and enjoy it
and not regret
on this life lesson
Instead to reflect
on the fun they had
the cool things the did
And the life they lived
..For that's what I hope to
achieve from this
walk down memory lane
To what I missed those years
that walked on by
So there it is
my life lesson

This cold is draining my energy..
My bones ache
I feel so frigid
Like I will break
I long to feel the warmth
Warm me to sweat
I chatter I shiver
I cannot handle it much longer
Long winter weather
just makes me shrill
My body cannot wait
much longer
Needing and dreaming
of the warmer weather
If it lasts much longer
I fear I'll need longer to thaw
I add more clothes
It does not help
I try this and that
It's no use
I'm becoming a permanently frozen human

It's all what we make it
It's all up to how we deal
You can just give up
Or you can put your **** in gear
Face it fearlessly
Tear through it
Ride that ***** like a bull
Grab those horns
Rise above
Let yourself see your success
See yourself succeed
Now that's how to deal

It all feels so lost
Lost in doubt
Lost without hope
It has come to this
It had such promise
We all were striving
We all were learning
We were all getting along
Today it's violence
A shooting here
A overdose there
A homeless camp on the news
Why has it come to this
Why do we just act like sheep
Where's our strength
What has happened to us all
Its feels we have lost
It feels we are hopeless
It makes me feel so sick
All I can do is take care of me
And try to be safe
In a world that's lost its way

Wild & Windy
She was free
It felt like magic
She was alive
Her fire was a flame
She looked so happy
Wind blowing through
her  hair
Her soul was dancing
Each gust felt so fresh
Her mind so peaceful
Her eyes where the truth
could be read
She was alive
Wild & Windy

Deeply I felt your reaction
like a sting a rip of fire
I had to run
I had to let the burn
heal or it would become a scar
Another scar I don't need !
I let you have your space.
I learned a lot in the time.
I found out who I am to you !
You have not reached out.
Ask how I was or if , I planned
to pick up my stuff ..
Not a word did I get from you.
That spoke loud and clear !
You only wanted me around for nothing more then your pleasure !
I am not someone you care or
respect as a friend..
Years spent between us
comes down to the truth !
Sadly I must accept.
Even if I care so deeply
love you even more.
Sadly I am left hear alone.
No friendship just the loss
ripping through my soul !
The burn must heal
for not to become a scar..

I wander through
I trudge ahead
I just keep going
Through the mud
Up the hills
Over the bumps
I fall I stand back up
I get knocked back
I roll down the hill
I brush myself off
I cry I scream
I begin again
I strut on by
I don't stop
I just keep on rolling on
I refuse to stop
I just stand tall and walk
I know there's something
ahead
I can't stop
I wander through
Till my rest is given
I then will stop
Till then
Wander , I do.

Is it the cold or is it the short days ?
Living in the dark
Feeling so cold
That's what it must be
I long for the warm days
I live for days that never end.
Winter is just miserable
for me
I love the Christmas lights
I wish more filled neighborhoods
It's just not like it used to be
So come on spring
let's get this winter
over with
So my winter blues
can fade away ..

Within my magic
is me
Within my spirit
is my magic
To be me is to be filled
with the magic spirit
I am a manifestation
of the wiccan witch
The gifts bestowed upon me
come from the witches
who gifted me the knowledge
of the magical way to live
& spiritual power to heal
In there honor , I give my contribution to the witch's past
I honor them when , I cast my
spells and grow my magic
so within my soul
is the magic spirit
that is me
This wiccan witch

It all seems to fade
It creeps along fading into
shades of grey
you fill the linger of it's haunting memory
as you grasp so tightly
it can't be kept in your grasp
you can only have it's joy
as it happens to exist
Sadly you don't know it only
will be for a short time
so as you feel the sadness
you mind wanders to the
truth
it's only gonna fade into a grey memory
you can't control it's time
or change it's ending
it will slowly fade away
Leaving you lost in a sadness
wishing it could have lasted longer
outta your control
it's just how it happens to be
So say goodbye
and let it fade
into a distant memory

Here we go again
Can't seem to stay ahead
the curve comes to fast
I can't seem to catch it
It's without a chance
It's just like my luck
I do admit , I felt like
hibernating
this weather *****
gets me hiding away
No energy to spare
So where do , I go from here
What can , I do
Can , I get ahead
Make up for my
loss of time
Will , I save the curve
I do hope , I can keep
catch and return it
before it passes me
and I'm outta luck

It's cold and wet outside
I miss the summer sun
Wish summer could last longer
I know my bones and how they feel
I know my skin and know the feeling
It's cold and wet again
These days last so long
Months of the dreary
So could you please turn
up the heat
I'm cold and my bones
are hurting
Tired of shivering
Winter last to long
Need to feel the sun
on my skin
But yet again
It's cold and wet
So here , I sit

I am a artist
I write poetry
I create abstract paint pours
I paint homes
I am always creating
I love being creative
It's within this gift
I am me
I always have music playing
it's the music
that has given me life
Through art and words
I express myself
I write and paint
parts of my soul
Through the struggles
I can always find through
words and colors
I can find some healing
I can express anything
Being an empath and a artist
It's where I am whole
So when your wondering
Just read , look and listen
Or write , color , paint
It's one thing you can do !
Artist I am
This gift , I share with you

I got a new job
It pays quite well
So a new adventure begins
How long will this one last
I guess it's up to me
I really feel quite proud
I didn't think it go so well
I guess I can really do more
then , I think I want to
It's new and a change
But what else is there to do
So here , I go again
Trying something new
Giving myself a kick in the
***.
Much needed for this I'm sure.
I know life's a challenge,
But,  I know another hill
I can climb
So climbing once more.
What the hell why not ?
I just may be blessed
with this job,
and taking a chance
trying something new

How sad it is that you
find it amusing to tease me
And it's always the 1 thing
you know is something
I am so easily hurt by
If you really cared you'd
not bring it up
Or better yet you'd
find a way to help me
So next time I hope
you say nothing
cause it may be your last
I refuse to accept it
not anymore

If only , I could have
those most desired
If only , I could have
the love most desired
If only , I could have those
wishes & wants  
It is the if only's
But you see it's not how
it comes to be
The if only is just a dream
we can want it but only in
our dreams can it happen
then you wake up and
go about your day
still thinking if only
If only life was fair
If only we could be happy
with what we don't have
So just remember
If only is just that
If only ..

Desire such a playful word
It invokes my creative sensual spirit
Paint , Poetry and Lust
Such a strange trio
How does Desire make
painting lustful
Desire draws the colors
and then the picture
is created
with Poetry the words
written invoke lust
and plays with your desire
to feel , touch , play
it's Desire that brings
forth the lust to live
love laugh and play
Desire is not merely
seduction
it's lust it's life. it's
a painting of poetry
that brings forth the desire
the lust to feel , touch , taste
see and live the creative
colorful desireable poetic
painted life that leaves
for others a desire to
experience that which
has been lived ..
Desire is Life
lived with lust for
the creative , colorful
fun experiences
that paint a life lived
fully and beautifully.
Desire is ....
