take the wheel

For the best
we can only hope
to travel calm seas
or at very least cope

But only together
will we have the strength
to face these obstacles
as we live, love, and think

We can cross our fingers
to gain some traction
but it's purely up to us
to put desires into actions

It's choice, and that alone
completely in control
simply take the wheel
and live and let roll

it will all pay off
in the end
for the light at the end of the tunnel
is only the point it all begins.

mi amore

Swinging around the revolving door
in and out, in clear skies and downpours

Flying high, and falling to the floor
We'll crawl, we'll walk, we'll run, we'll sore

Working for something, that means much more
more than imagined ever before

Comfort in confidence, we must be sure
as we head into this life, comparable to war

At times, it's hard, but we'll rise once more
and pull the strength, from our deep inner core

Even when bruised, battered, and torn
we must remember what it's all for

for together, with drive, will give a little more
and conquer this life, this, I am sure

picture of love

Take a look on the wall
there, dear husband, hangs in the hall

head to toe, dressed to the nines
he wasn't perfection, but he was all mine

dapper he was, as the girls would say
I would here them whisper as I went about my day

the winks and stares as we would head down the street
the women would seem to all go in heat

a late night, one time
he stammered in the door

I couldn't help but to ask
"so who was the whore"

out of line, I was, as a woman of God
But his clothes and smell, were disheveled and odd

and then, my dear husband
he headed to bed

and then, my dear husband
got a bullet to the head

now there he hangs
handsome on the wall

and downstairs he lays
casket and all

October

Today is perfection
as the sun beams through the trees
reflecting off my eyes
like light off the sea

Not a cloud in the sky
the vast light hue of blue seems to stretch forever
giving the ideal backdrop
for this mountainous landscape

The air is crisp, cool
to breathe it deep into my lungs is a pleasure
for every breath of the fresh cut grass
is more valuable than any known treasure

The grass and tree's set the scene
as the hues of green fade to the colors of fall
it's a feast for the eyes
that few of us notice at all

Today is perfection
a re-energizing morning to wake to
For every day in this beautiful month
I can only hope the feeling looms

wake my love

Good Morning Honey!
open those eye's
I hate to interrupt your dreams
but there's very little time

We both work today
but your time is now
so head off to the shower
I know these yawns are common sounds

Good Morning Honey!
I've ironed your shirt
let me straighten that tie
to tight? does that hurt?

Here's your breakfast,
and I've bagged a lunch
I know you don't have time
with meeting and such

Good Morning honey!
and good luck
I'll be right here thinking of you
but I'm thankful it's not time for me to wake up!!!

Ānāpānasati ♡

Peace!
Wash over me
cleanse my soul to the inner core
lift the weight of the world
let shine the reason I am here for!

Let go the things so miniscule to thought
prioritize challenge and draw parallels
trial and error, it never fails
I'll let Karma take care of everything else

Let go, relax, clear my vision, I see!
Rise to the occasion, and positive energy
let passion take hold, put aside lethargy
work miracles, feats of thaumaturgy

Grasp the concept of living full
stride through the everyday push and pull
praise the good, damn the cruel
be bright as the sun's reflection of the brightest jewel

time is so limited, it's time to take hold
as others falter, fall away, and fold
live to the fullest, take a tight hold
then shimmer and sparkle as glistening gold

rising

Once upon a time
and forever after
together we'll begin
life through the here after

Fingers laced together
producing the unimaginable
reaching for something better
though seemingly unfathomable

through many feats,
accomplishments and failures
love will carry us through
to heart's hidden treasures

together we'll be
and reach for the sky
up, up and away!!
we'll fly so high ♥

I, me, my

rise to the occasion
and muster the strength
because you're not alone
but more so than you think

There's no one to please
because this feat is impossible
no sense to appease
the opinions that are invaluable

It's you today
you, who gives
you who seeks happiness
you who lives

It's you lay with
who reflects at night
it's you who you should please
for you, you should fight

it's you, your opinion
It's you who you must find
it's you, you must live with
until the day you die!
