How much love does it take to find a strength that you never thought you possessed?
How much love does it take to say that scaling Everest naked would not be a challenge because it would be done for you?
How much love does it take when a parent hates your beloved and reminds you for the rest of your life even though you are incredibly happy together but favors your sibling's spouse over yours?
How much love?
There will never be enough and whatever I can do to show you and share with you, you have my heart Babe!
How much love the number has not been invented yet and once it is
It will never be high enough

Our memories delight us in our darkest days
Incredible what they do on happier days
Songs sung and enjoyed from yesterday mean as much tomorrow
Finishing the other's sentences and knowing something that others don't comprehend because they never noticed or never lived it
You know me so well and even when I surprise you, you appreciate and tell me so
Loving a sensitive poet and writer isn't easy
Perhaps, that is why you are so special and adored
How much you love me?
Equals how much I love you more today than yesterday and not as much as tomorrow.

The smile
The jokes
The hug
the head on the shoulder
pillow unnecessary
rainy days with rainbows ever flowing
car rides that makeup for those unspeakable moments
3am conversations when nobody else will do
how on earth could they walk away from you

Never knew I was but I am.
Highly sensitive person.
Intuitive,creative,feeling
Always shy and a loner
Those who stir the *** not my cup of tea
I am an HSP

C@rainbowchaser2024

Drawn to Pooh, Paddington, and the Care Bears.
They adorn my home office and are my heart.
Working virtually somedays,they keep me company
Looking at them makes me comfortable
Kindness, goodness and sensitivity define me
Those that take advantage or try have been in my tears and hurt my heart
Villains and the vicious are forewarned to get out of my way
I am the Human Care Bear
If that troubles you than take leave now
Forever more, even better

Do you have to do something bad to get something good?
Imbalance rears its concern
Lady luck and and her sister bad luck don't always work in tandem
You want the former and not the latter in your life
Did it mean something?
Did it catch your breath in mid air?
Did it take you anywhere?
Did it even get you off the keyboard and out of your chair?
Human Nature
C@Rainbowchaser2022

Fill your rainbow with shades of imagination
Nobody and nothing should color your rainbow
No matter what, when, who or why
Hold on
Hold fast
The smallest gifts are treasures
Recognize them
While others may not get the message
Wrap yourself in joy when storms or hurdles of any kind surround you
Humble your spirit towards the light

C@rainbowchaser2022

If I told you every word in my mind
You would color me differently
You know what you know
That should be enough
Let me surprise you
as I surprise myself
I will care you for as I care for others
With joy and all the generosity one can muster
No matter what or where
We know the what
The new is exciting
There is no pain greater than watching you suffer
Gladly trading places with you would be of no consequence or issue
You and the others in my life are loved more than you know or can measure
Crohn's disease be ****** for hurting any of you

C@rainbowchaser2021

I come out on pages
Bleed from many different colored pens
Older but not old
Happier but not happy
In love and always loving him
Share,care,and deliver
It is more than Ok to be
You don't have to like it or me
Kindness and gratitude are my friends
I am a writer
Finally,I said it and believe it

Kindness and goodness.
Me
Sensitivity personfied
Me too
Difference now is I am tuning those out
Who drain me and hurt my heart
I have no time for you
We have been through so many hurdles as have others
We try to find something precious and wonderful every single day
Not perfection but joy
I am free

Sorry you did not like it
But that is how I am dealing with a situation never expected but must accept
Long friendship has become Debnie Downer.
Dream squechers stay clear
Penny and Paul Positives Welcome

These are not Pollyanna's or Mickey Mouse's ideas.
A Code of Ethics that applies to all Human Beings is necessary.
Dear HUMAN Beings I mean you!
Accept and don't expect.
Haunted by people that are shameful, diabolical, and despicable.
Frankly, they are backward in their ideals and thoughts.
How many more steps will they take before they hurt others again?
Progress in general is necessary.
It requires balance and cool collective thinking.
The Civil War ended long ago but this Deja Vu is sickening and disheartening.
The Code of Ethics is to do the very best for all, not some.
There are some heartless and selfish villains out there for themselves.
We are not naive to think that We are the world singers and *** Ba Ya mentality will never be what it once was or could ever be.
Maybe because I am too much of the heart and too kind for this time in this world?
Somehow, I know I am not alone.

C@rainbowchaser2023

The world is upside down
Wish it could change
New decade and too many fears cloud visionaries
Ideas are there
Competition and imbalance are a problem
Old school and new school thinking have to forge a partnership
Some used to bes still count
Herstory and History find common ground
You have to know yesterday to deal with today and hope for tomorrow
No guarantees
Too many afraid of change
Let people be and live their lives without comment or judgment
Destroying life because of hatred and lack of understanding doesn't work
Technology is incredible but people don't just talk face to face anymore
They insult each other and comment on social media
I am sorry

C@rainbowchaser2020

The bowl is empty
The leash is on its spot
The blanket is still
When the Rainbowbridge welcomes your angel
Remember that when you least expect,your dear dog will be near
We all wish there were visiting hours there
Hope your dog runs free
With memories of you

C@rainbowchaser2019

Don't know your reasons why
your yesterdays
are not part of our todays
or of our tomorrows
You are missing out on one of the greatest treasures, and you'll never know why
Writing about it is one thing
but the experience is something quite different
I could spend my life writing about Love,
but you have never
Open your been there
Let someone in
deserving of all that you are
Want to dance at your wedding
want you to tell me what it is like sharing a rainstorm
or a bad dream
It is your turn,and please
don't complain anymore
Either do something about it,or
nothing at all
I am so sorry,'but I can't hear it any longer
Stopped listening long ago

C@rainbowchaser2020

Tea is my favorite beverage and iced is the delight
Biscotti or Mandel Bread seems to be the perfect partner
This breakfast started for me in Florence ,Italy
Espressos and Lattes surrounded me ,
Yet there was a tall frosted glass
That was everyday in Italy and sometimes at home
Have teas from all over the world and enjoy Harney’s Teas
Passion fruit delights me
Sometimes my writing companion because it is easy and free
Weather permitting, I bake my own for that is a quiet joy
Iced Tea and Biscotti
Cheers
C@rainbowchaser 2023

Being honest,positive,and true will make for a better world
That United we stand divided we fall is more than song lyrics
That narcissists dont control the world or atempt to do so
That doing the right thing out weighs the wrong
That someday we cure diseases,hatred,injustice and poverty
I 'd like to think so
I'd like to think so
Right now, I am not sure of anything any longer
I 'd like to think change will come for the betrer
I'd like to think so

C@raimbowchaser2023

If you remember how it tastes
If you remember how it smells
If you remember how it feels
Then there is no need to be any different as time marches forward
Somethings should not change
People have to adapt
If

C@rainbowchaser2019

If you are grieving,may wonderful memories sustain you
If you made a mistake or bad judgment call
May you learn,grow and stay the course of your journey
If you are hurt or heart broken,
Heal and know what goes around comes around
Insulating more does you absolutely no good
Leave it alone
If you can stay strong,loving and caring
If that is all there
Then that is more than enough

C@rainbowchaser 2023

If you fall asleep in my arms
Rocked ever so gently
Letting go of what is over
Holding on to promises kept and memories yet to be fulfilled
We will make more
Making sure that darkness will soothe you and the stars will be a night light
Letting you dream peacefully and comfortably
We can only move forward now
What was is over
Not looking back
Just want you to rest, recover and sleep easily
Love you,but not loving you tonight or in the near future until you are ready again
Remember how we arrived here and where we have yet to go
If you fall in my arms
Pleasant dreams because the nightmare is over and in check
If you fall asleep in my arms

C@rainbowchaser 2023

Nobody deserves to get sick
Wish people the very best
Even though some deserve the very worst
May you find something amazing every single day
Sometimes what rocks your world means very little to others
If you knew what I know
You take very little for granted

C@rainbowchaser2023

Her heart was broken and shattered
After all this time just seeing you in the distance brought it all back
Moved up
Moved on
Am loved and love
Leading someone on is beyond comprehension
But that was yesterday
Her today’s are filled without the likes of you
If you only knew
Knowing now?
Being ugly and tossed to the side because contour matters more than size.
It was about the size of a heart

C@rainbiwchaser2018

Jonathan Groff ignites the stage on Broadway
Our craft ignites a page
The flow
The feeling
The correct word
A memorable performance and a standing ovation
A great review from readers
Maybe buy our book
Bravo no matter how you creatively ignite

I have heard it said that numbers don't lie
That people should agree to disagree for a more caring and sharing world
That squirrels don't recognize the humans that feed them
That Love doesn't last a lifetime and into eternity
That women are all **** or Princesses regardless  of color, creed, or nationality
All Men have one thing in their minds
Being different and unique is bad
Just go with the flow
That wishes and dreams don't come true
I have heard it said but listening and believing another matter

C@rainbowchaser2023

I love you but should not have the word but in it
You are not good enough in their eyes?
Boundaries are set for a reason
Some understand that words and sentences can and do mean more than actions
To better people,it's both
Counterproductive?
What escalates needs to be deflated and love shared
You have paid the price in your heart and your being
Agreeing to disagree does not always work
A Theory?
I love you no ifs ands or buts

The memories are there no matter how old and yellow
Love you Daddy and miss you more than time can measure or words will ever express
Now as your second great grandson is on his way
How much you have missed
So watch over him when he joins us along with his sister and cousin
Long ago
Far away
I miss you ,Daddy

48 years ago my beloved Daddy left us this Monday
Mom is with you now and that makes it harder but easier for you
The pain returns every August
Flashbacks of how you were taken so very young when we were very young
You would be proud of all of us
The scars of yesterday did not stop us
We still fulfill dreams
All the joys and triumphs of our lives felt you were there
Your girls and their husbands
Your grandchildren
Your great grandchildren so little and we will share stories about you
The tears are here and visiting the cemetery doesn't help
You are not there, you are in my heart
The Monarch butterfly flew by me awhile ago so I know you are here and with me
I miss you still, Daddy

C@rainbowchaser2021

No airbrushing or unnecessary nips and tucks
No extreme measures no matter which celebrity is touting it
Taking good care of oneself is a must
Plain Janes and Joes have arrived
Alive
You live on the other side of the camera
The **** Tube and UTube have emerged in many forms and facets
Real and Reality have emerged to become
imperfect perfection

C@Rainbowchaser2021

Caught that smile in a crowd
The one that froze me in time
You did not notice
Doubt you even cared
The echo of you saying Another time and place
came roaring back like a roller coaster in reverse
We were very young
We knew you wouldn’t act
In a moment the lime changed and yesterday was gone
Like you left me then and forever more

C@rainbowchaser2019

Fifth avenue is dressed in her finery
her shop windows glistening
Her Rockerfeller Center tree stands with ohhs and ahhs around
Her daughter was excited
Her mother didn't have the heart to take her to American Girl or FAO Schwartz
The money wasn't there
This young mother was not dressed warmly but her little girl was
New York City has a magic all her own
A beautifully dressed woman with three little girls in tow gave the little girl a bag
Happy Holidays she cried out as she and her children were whisked away in a car
The bag said American ******* it and it was full
In and out the door
Seasons Greetings and be grateful for others don't have what you take for granted

c@rainbowchaser2019

The world revolved differently
The air was sweet and clear
Cold but not intolerable
Music was pure and joyful
A quiet yet momentous celebration
Unexpected but so much more than appreciated
Our worlds intertwined while others collided
We did not notice them
In an instant there were only two
Me and you
Still and forever more

C@rainbowchaser2021

What really happens when you're in between?
All the plans,wishes,and schemes
It’s not always polka dots
and moonbeams
If it were ,it wouldn’t be worth it
But as you go,go your own way
Sleepless nights stop you dead in your tracts
Something similar to a mind attack
You take the time to re-evaluate
It is what it is or you go with the flow
Setting different things in motion
You have to be alone with yourself
Which is really not a bad thing
Listening to both your heart and your head
Equal time for both
Which is really not a bad thing when you’re in between dreams

C@rainbowchaser2019

Screaming but cant be heard
Dawn is calling but you cant see her
Crying in so many showers without a sound
No teardrops to dry
Why
Lovers come and go but leave no calling card
A cure for loneliness
Nothing desired
She left for work
Returning in the wee hours
In between shadows

C@rainbowchaser2020

He said I slept through the thunderstorms last night.
If I don't carry an umbrella, I get soaked.
If the slicker is there, been soaked with both that and the umbrella.
Walking under trees is a major no-way.
As the sky grays again and it's quiet the walk happens
It is quiet and most people are driving their cars or working.
Monday and Friday are two of the four days off for me.
Many have asked when I write and the answer many times is in between the raindrops or on a sunny day.
You know I will be seeking a rainbow

C@rainbowchaser2023

Puerto Rico and Florida help and prayers
Mother Nature and Father Sky remember all your children as Hurricane Ian leaves us
Doves get a taste of worms and wet grass
Squirrels gather acorns playing hide and seek ast hey scurry up tree branches to their nests
As we await sunnier days and blue skies above
In between the raindrops

C@rainbowchaser2023

Cosimo de 'Medici are you and your family appreciated enough?
Where would Arts and Humanities be ?
Let alone Sculpture, Language,Theatre ,Painting, Books, Drawings, Costumes and Fashion
Today the Internet might be considered our Renaissance but how to compare that to Arts and Culture let alone Nature and her glory.
The works of Michelangelo, Petrtiarch, Dante, Boccacio and many others can be gazed upon at Pitti Place in Florence or the Metropolitan in New York where Poets gather their muses or are inspired by the eyes of the subjects looking directly at them.
Being struck by a beauty so profound and creative at a time when people don't take the time
Nor do they make an effort
When they do they come away as Poets do with an Infinite Beauty which we try to capture when we write
Behold our eyes see a deeper beauty
It touches us at a level some will not grasp or not care too

C@rainbowchaser2021

There is a quiet and stillness beyond compare
It is gentle, safe, and strong filled with joy and caring
Nothing Mickey Mouse about it
The world stands still
Even if it is a few minutes or with any luck hours
This is where I would rather be than dealing with a mixed up and confused world that needs to get its act together
In his arms

C@rainbowchaser2023

Easier said than done
Applause if you can do this
Take a bow
Selfish people have never been my cup of tea
They never will be
Their noses are in the stratosphere or ionosphere
You can be poor and be selfish too
Whatever their consequences are so be it
Surrounding oneself with people like that unnerves me
Where is the exit door?
Snobs just don't cut it with me
Happy and lovely caring people are in my life

Things change
Times change
People change
Hoping somethings and people stay the same?
The latter hurts
It can be toxic
It can be painful
It is Debbie and Dean Downer
You can accept it or ignore it
The visits are lessened
You enjoy the memories
You can't live in them
So as new people come into your life
Enjoy them and the friends you have around you
As for Debbie and Dean Downer
In One Ear and Out The Other

listen to their dreams
Dont step on their hearts
Encourage them to be brave
Regrets will happen but not because trying never happened
Doors open when you least expect them too
Never should mot be part of your vocabulary
Your heart is absolutely worth it
You will find in time that you are too
Shut off those voices in your head telling you to give up
Inspiration
C@rainbowchaser2019

Two more struck down too young
Fighting for their lives
We say hang on
Hang tough
You are not alone in this battle
UP close and personal
This horrible enemy who has taken others from all of us
Rears its head on the faces of the family that confronts the issues when they leave the hospital
Etched in pain and a hurt that we may know but everybody deals differently
You watch and wonder and all you can do is listen and be there when they want you to do so
Not the patient but the families
The two I write for and those that love you being turned Inside out
as they wait

C@rainbowchaser2021

Acquire,
Aspire,
Desire
Fire
If your fire goes out
Find a way to relight it
In between the heart break
Required
Retire to something you really want to accomplish that you pushed aside
Inspire yourself
and others

C@rainbowchaser2023

John Lennon you were in my thoughts
Too young to appreciate you then but now, Wow.
Two baby racoons were crossing a park road wondering can we still shine
Those humans stopped for us?
Are we done?
Are we untrue?
Can we still get our acts together>
Let us all shine together and let thepast be what was
Concentrate on what is now what can be and what will be
Instant Karma 2

Not the word
Great one
The show that CBS pulled the rug out from under
Finally quality programming with exquisite writing
An ensemble cast of talented artists and thespians
great scripts and original stories a viewer can sink their teeth into weekly
It isnt over til the fat lady signs
Or til Uncle Walter signs off from the pearly gates
