I know why you hate me, your jealous.
I look like them.
The one who came first, and the mother.
You hate my red hair,
my alabaster skin and freckles.
I have her coloring.
The one who came first.
You hate my upturned nose,
And pointed chin, I remind you
Of her, the one you could not win over the Mother.
She saw through you,
and all the *** kissing,
and all yes, mamas got you nothing.
You hate me, because I have love and family.
All your backbiting and attempting to minimize me,
Has only made you small.
When I was young, you had power no more.
I’m strong, you can’t hurt me,
I’m a warrior goddess, raised by other warrior goddesses.
I have raised warrior’s,
Women of substance,
and Men of character.
They are wise and witty, out of your reach.
You have been removed from their orbit.
You’ll never bask in the light of our successes.
All because you were jealous of a harmless girl.

Some Women

I’ve come to believe,
that some women,
are not meant to be, tamed or controlled.
Some women,
Are meant to run wild and free,
to throw off the constraints of men,
and be,
who God, made them to be
totally wild
and
completely free.

Warrior

I’ve been known to slay dragons, and reduce giants to ash.
But against my feeling for you I’m powerless.
The wild magic, that I’ve kept hidden in my heart has been set free.
She is no longer willing to be contained is a small space.
But
Desires to spread her wings and take flight.
How could I have allowed this to happen?
I’m a warrior!
I fight the good fight.
My wild magic was contained buried deep in the recesses of my heart.
Only to be looked upon as a found memory of what was,
but can never be again.
I found a place for my passion by being a voice for the lost and mistreated.
Championing the needs of the weak and demanding justice for all, convention be ******.
But
Now I stand before you stripped bare of my armor,
venerable and fearful that my wild magic will be too much
or not enough for you.
This wild magic, this raging fire between us is to powerful
for one heart to hold and not be consumed by
But,
With you I’ll share my magic.
To you I’ll give my wild.
When needed I’ll warm you with my fire.
Should you need strength or power I will give you mine.
All I have is yours for the asking.
My thirst for justice has been replaced with a desire to
love and be loved.
All but for a kiss I am yours.

That Kind of Women

She’s the kind of woman that scares the hell out most men.
Things don’t impress her. Can’t judge her by her cover.

She’ll wear a funky inappropriate, tee shirt with a velvet skirt.
Cowboy boots and a Jean Jacket with an evening dress.

You may even find her in an old flannel shirt leggings and rubies,
In the barn emasculating a bull.

Hell, she’s been known to wear pearls and muck boots.
She’s odd like that.

She likes what she like and is no slave to fashion or
Other’s options of her.

She’s strong accomplished **** and if you don’t believe me,
Well she has some tools in the barn she’ll show you.

It only hurt a little.

My Turn

I’ve loved. I’ve lived.
I’ve built family.
I’ve watched the children grow into
The awesome adults they are now.
But the time has come to do what’s best for me.
How do I tell them? What do I say?
That it’s my turn. I want so much more.
I want passion. I want to feel alive.
I want to Dance with the devil.
Then walk away.
I want to gamble and win.
How do I tell them? What do I say?
I’m not ready for a rocking chair.
I want to dance too good music.
Through back a Whiskey and drink in life.

I guess I’ll tell them, it’s my turn now,

Free to Love

Free to Love
Where do I to start, in March 2019 I started a journey.
I wanted to be open to what life had to offer.
I wanted to be healthy.
But the biggest change I wanted to make was to be authentic.
I wanted to speak my truth I wanted to be known for myself.
Not as a wife, mother, teacher, counselor all around fix it women.
Although I am those things I’m so much more.

I’ve spent so much time trying to be what everyone needed,
I’d lost myself.
So, I set out to find me……I never expected to find love.
I’ve found true love the kind that won’t break your heart.
The kind that is not dependent others,
I’ve learned to love myself.
I have spent my life tapping that feeling down, fearing it was unattainable, unsustainable, unrealistic, unreasonable and disappointing.

I learned at a young age love is painful.
So, to avoid pain I closed and locked that door.
The only love I embraced was the love for my children.
Falling in love with me has opened a whole new world.
I feel as if I’ve been set free.
Free to write, to be brave, to be emotional, to be spiritual, to explore. Free to experience the world. Free to embrace my wild.

But the freedom I hold closest to my heart is the freedom to love.
Not just myself, but others.
For the first time I’m truly open to love.
That wild, amazing, magical, wonderous, awe inspiring, feeling of love.
I can honestly look at myself and say well done.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

One

One of the things I love about you,
is that you listened for the growl of my spirit.
And heard it,
when it was so muted it couldn’t be heard.
You coaxed my wild out of hiding, and
into the light.
For that alone I should love you.
But that’s not the reason that I do.
There’s no particular reason,
and then there’s everything.
The way you talk to me,
Touch me.
The kiss to die for.
It’s what I see in your eyes,
in your smile.
That I can make you chuckle,
at the most inappropriate times.
It is simply all about you.
