Touch

I miss being touched


I miss being all wrapped up

in strong, hard arms,

feeling a chest against my back

feeling his warmth and heat

his protection

making me feel safe

making me sleep soundly, like a baby who was just breast-fed

I miss being tangled up in firm, strong legs, feeling the sweat trickle down the back of my thighs to the bend of my knees,

Feeling hard, rough feet scrape my ankle

but not hurting me, just a familiar touch and a missed touch

When will I feel it again

When will I feel it again

I’m ready, not just my body, not just the physical

BUT:

My mind, my heart, my spirit and my soul are ready to receive HIS touch in every space of my being

Please bring your touch on.
Bring it on home.

Twist of Fate

Days go by and I wonder where life is headed.
Do I feel this good because I deserve to, OR
is a twist of fate headed my way

A twist of fate that's okay because
I've grown and can handle whatever life throws my way.

Easy Way Out

Ooooh my toes look so ugly!
I need to take this polish off.
If life were only that simple,
that we could rub our problems away.

But, we live life and breathe life
hoping to find an easy way out.

Holy Spirit

Spirit divine, blessing  me with peace of mind
Showing me the way from day-to-day
Strengthening my faith
and
Letting me know that as long as I believe You
My worries will be few,
in number:
PEACE
GUIDANCE
DELIVERANCE
GRACE
MERCY
FORGIVENESS
POWER
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!
You've given those things to me and in turn taught me to give them to myself and
others

Holy Spirit:
Falling fresh on me
Holy Spirit:
Delivering me from sin
Holy Spirit:
Leading the way
Holy Spirit:
Filling my cup
Holy Spirit:
Making me feel adored
Holy Spirit:
Wrapping itself around my body
Holy Spirit:
Embedding itself in my soul
Holy Spirit:
So beautiful and perfect
Holy Spirit:
Saving a sinner like me
Holy Spirit:
My anchor and strength
Holy Spirit:

Thank you, for all you are to me
Thank you, for making my spiritual journey worthwhile
Thank you, for not neglecting me, in my time of need, even when I didn't deserve your attention and neglected myself

Yes, Holy Spirit, fall fresh on me
Peace be still, Holy Spirit!

Free to be me and who I want to be
Unafraid of the me within
Coming to terms with the me that I don't like or accept
And, the me that I want to fix so that I can be accepted by the world.

What's my reality? What do I have to do to accept everything about me -
good and bad?
Do I accept responsibility for all I think, say, and do? Or
Do I blame others for what's wrong with me, too?

The world isn't friendly or fair and often, we want what we can't achieve unless we're willing to be
Who and What we really are!

Stand up for something or you'll fall for anything, HARD
and hurt yourself.
Don't be afraid to express what's inside, especially if it will HEAL the you within.
People may not accept who you have become, but you have to create your own PEACE.
Keep working on it until you achieve it.

ACCEPT, DEFINE, AND LOVE YOU because no one else will until you do.

On Tuesdays I Cried

On Tuesdays I cried - most times I pretended that I didn't know for what-
but deep inside I knew it was a must.

I cried for:
A kind smile that could brighten my day like a rainbow after a storm
Soft, but strong words of encouragement that flowed through my spirit like soft waves or whispers of wind
Laughter and a sharp sense of humor that never cut but was always infectious

A melodius voice that brought everyone to their feet and could calm and soothe even the angriest soul

The loss of the head of a family- it's strength like a solid rock

Because even though I saw you leaving me a little more each day-
I still wasn't prepared when you left me to say good-bye

Long talks of long ago and long talks that can be no more
Dreams that you won't see come true for me
Time I can't get back that was wasted

B, on Tuesdays I cried for you.

Love, Daughter #1

Tumbling Emotions

Thoughts rolling around in my head
I can't get them together
I don't know what to say
Maybe it's a sign that I should keep quiet
But, how can I when I have so much that I need and want to say
To you
Where do I start
How can I make you see
That for the first time because of you
I can breathe again
A sigh of relief
I feel things that I haven't felt with a man in years
I feel
     Comfortable
     Special
    Peaceful
    Joy
    And Unconditionally Loved
You've brought those emotions back to a heart that has been broken
and trampled on
You don't know
You aren't sure
Well, I do know and I am sure
My heart does not lie
What I feel, I need to express
I think I"m falling in love with you, and I don't know what to do about it
Maybe you are right, let's pull back, ease up, and put everything in perspective
Because, I don't want my heart broken anymore than you want to break it
You say you want to use your head this time
I understand what you're saying, but why with me
Am I being selfish because I want you to experience and enjoy these emotions
that I feel
The way my heart and stomach flutter, every time I hear your voice.
Emotions evoked that can't be suppressed
Emotions running deep, that I know deep in my heart are blessed from above
Take all the time you need
You're right, we don't have to speed
Because, what is meant to be will be
All we need to do is believe.

Lips like silk
Eyes that hypnotize
Hands that soothe my mind, body, and soul
and touch my heart in places I never knew existed
A voice that makes my heart flutter and tense,
caressing my ears with its melodic tone
causing a quiet storm deep within

Conversations shared by candlelight
to enlighten our minds
and cause me to wonder
where and why this blessing is mine
Conversations so deep that I awake out of my sleep,
wandering if it was for real.

I'm scared,
because I've never experienced such a connection
connection deeper than the physical, mental, or emotional
But, spiritual
Two souls mating in the universe and finding each other.

Yes, afraid of what it will bring
and the blessings in store for me.

Holding my breath and waiting
Learning patience and waiting
Listening to my spirit and waiting
Enjoying and waiting
Hoping and waiting!

If you're ready, I am too
I can't wait to see where this journey takes us.

**This was not one of the 3 Blind Mice!** LOL!

Soul Poetry

I write to empty my soul and embark on a new beginning
with each stroke of the pen, change occurs and a new horizon can be seen.

Who understands what I write?
No one but that's okay because I write for me.
Me, the person who I be and have become.
Evolving into a myriad of things.
Each writing depicts a part of my soul that even I didn't know exists.
Words expressed from within to clear the mind and soothe the soul
to acknowledge the spirit that dwells there beneath the heart and soul.
A poetry no one, not even I can ignore,
What is it called?
