An Invitation

If you invite me in I wouldn't say No
You held me tight
I couldn't let go

A kiss, a hug, a fond embrace
Returned me to a different time and place

If you invite me in I wouldn't say No
Thoughts for a moment
of how once was our time spent

If you invite me in I wouldn't say No
Dinner, a walk,
a laugh and a talk

If you invite me in I wouldn't say No
I kissed your cheek and said You're right
I held you close You held me tight

We both knew it was the end of the night.

Nothing

Nothing to say

I have no voice.

Nothing to say

but not by choice.

Nothing to say

how very strange.

Nothing to say

hope this will change.

Nothing to say

it's something new.

Nothing to say

What shall I do?

Bodies Entangled On The Floor

Bodies entangled on the floor

feel the pressure nothing more

Discussions of what could be

Feeling pressure incessantly

Bodies entangled on the floor.

How did we meet?

How long has it been?

Conversations for old friends.

Kisses exchanged.

Parts rearranged.

Our returning feelings never seem strange.

I let my question go unasked

The answer I think is better off masked.

Don't really need to know,

Thought that I wanted to though;

Still the question I let go.

Just enjoying this moment in time

Surrounded by arms that will never be mine.

Bodies entangled on the floor

filled with passion but nothing more.

After the Feast

Why does my belly hurt?

Oh yeah, the decadent dessert;

Or was it all the meat and mashed potatoes?

Heaven knows it couldn't have been the tomatoes,

stuffing or the gravy, No that couldn't be.

Candied yams and bits of ham glazed ever so sweetly?

Possibly.

Why does my belly ache?

Could it have been all the cake?

Curse this appetite I tried to sate

The taste testing because I couldn't wait.

Must have been All the food I ate 

in generous portions piled on my plate;

That I just ate and ate and ate.

Eyes bigger than my tummy

I couldn't help myself

It was all so yummy

Didn't eat it all as I'm no dummy

There's some left overs upon my shelf

Another delicious treat just for myself.

This time I will not pile the food upon my plate,

This time smaller portions I will take;

Because the end of the holiday is here

Over eating and a belly ache 

well they will just have to wait

Until the same time next year.

Give Thanks

Give Thanks

That's what the Pilgrims and Natives did

but not the myth

 that we all live.

Give Thanks

For Life and liberty,

for  love and laughter,

for triumph through disaster.

Give Thanks

Don't just think materially

think kindness and generosity

think friends and family.

Give Thanks

Buddha or Allah, Mother Earth or Brother Wind

 Krishna or Isis too

Pick all, one or any God or not it's up to you

Give Thanks

Everyday not just on Thanksgiving 

Thankful is the way 

We all should be living.

Anticipating

Anticipating

I hate all the waiting

It just can't come soon enough.

Savoring the moment

when all my time's spent

consuming delicious stuff.

Anticipating

I hate all the waiting

It just can't come soon enough.

Sweet and delicious

It's barely nutritious

What to eat first the decision is rough.

Anticipating

I hate all the waiting

It just can't come soon enough.

Passion's Plaything

Passion's plaything

must not be you

If you scare me

and I scare you.

What's a confident girl to do

Who needs aggressive

and that's not you?

Our mutual attraction's

Overdue

for an intimate

Rendezvous.

But if you scare me,

and I scare you

One on one won't happen

From us two.
