Maya Angelou's poem entitled "Christians" best descibes my primary interest & defines all that I am...
"A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her."
When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'"
I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say... "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride.,
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!
That being said, other interest that I have are {but are not limited to...} The Arts: Music, Dance, Theatre & Poetry; Food, Natural Wines...People & Places....Horses, Birds, Fishing, Skating, Anything to do with the ocean or a body of water {LoL} MY CHILDREN!!!! and Family are very important to me, as well as Friends....Camping & the Mountains... A Good Coversation... Living Forever... Ecclesiastes 3:11; Psalms 37:11, 38:29, 83:18; Mark 13:10....

If You Love Music...In the mood for a new twist on a Love Story...Then Go See "AUGUST RUSH"....I thought it was refreshing and in the spirit of a good Old Fashion Movie...who needs reality movies...You have reality TV!.{Which is: Garbage In....} LoL!!!
Thru the fog light shone lifting a haze from over the massive weight carried inside me
Like a sunray shinning thru a dense forrest your thoughts... entered my mind
Your dreams... became my desire and we were bathe in the light of love
I was your friend... You asked me to be not just your lover but your wife
Like a snow capped mountain you said I completed you...
Like sun rays shinning on the ocean floor you penetrated me
Now tell me... How does a butterfly become a caterpllar... Please, tell me how I can be just a friend.

"I MISS THE BUTTERFLIES" by: "Poets_do_it_better" Poetic Response:
"Butterflies"
As I opened my hand and looked upward ...
the butterflies fluttered towards the sky... .
I saw dew drops fall like rain.....
but it was only my eyes.....
feeling the pain
As I watched Our love die....

"You See Me"
Go ahead, shut the door Seems I've been here, before
I'm not looking for a switch There's no light to turn off or on
You pray for love so deep that it makes you weak
There's no switch to turn it off or on The well of my love is deep
No trickle of water, only a rush,a steady flow A river rushing to the sea
You see me,go ahead Shut the door, I've been here, before.

SEEDS....
Planted in my garden a young tender seed
The weather is ruff turbulent storms of emotion affect your growth
Moving gently beneath the surface without warning you give up
I watch as the sunlit glow that anointed my face, fades
My body and mind repel the thought I moan and I groan in silence as I search for you
What shall my garden bring forth life or death
Hmmmmm, there is nothing left.....

~ Black Stallion ~
Black Stallion, smooth as satin when I touch you... Your forearm reveals the strength of your embrace Your hips & thighs quivers as you take your stance Strong and self willed you reveal yourself to be I can see in your eyes the fear... As on your hind legs you stand your pride is shone... Shhhh, I whisper... Black Stallion, my love is true Don't run... I need you...

"In The Nights Air"
As you gaze up at the moon and close your eyes Do you feel in it's reflection a certain vibe... In the cool of the breeze you shiver... Do you hear my voice as it brushes pass your ears As the wind whispers... accross your face... Can you feel my fingertips dance around your lips As you take a deep breath Can you feel my hands pass over your chest and as you exhale Do you feel me fondle you with my love In the nights air Do you hear me As I call your name...

"The 1st Month, Is September"
You said I had until January
to taste your lips & take a sip of tea,
You & Me......
You said I had ..until January to be your wife,
start a new life,
We'd get it right....
You said I had until January
September has not passed,
Love should last thru the rain,
through tears & pain.....
You said I had until January
I don't remember any torrid winds, no earthquakes,
Just the sound of your tender voice,
Now I have no chioce....
You told me I had until January
My heart stood still,
as you expressed your desire to be set free,
No more You & Me,
no tea.....
You said I had until January........

~ ~ Last Breath ~ ~
Thru the back yard, into the sea I keep searching thru trees... seaweed and thorns I've dodged animals with horns... Rain has poured from my eyes The bushes can't hide me Washed ashore I keep searching I keep searching, for you The love of my life I reach around trees... Just to feel your breeze... you evade me I spin, around thru trees As if I'm in the air... Flashes of you appear everywhere My body jerks, I tremble my back bends like the St. Louis Arch Gasping for air... Like leaves turning in the fall could I be dying, after all...

* The Glass Bottle *
Above the kitchen sink
sits a heart shaped bottle
Green, Reds & yellow colors shine brightly
thru a heart shaped glass bottle
Swimming in vinegar are my feelings for you It looks so inviting with it's many colors and shapes the heart shaped, glass bottle Waiting to be opened, tasted used in an exotic dish Oh how I wish... I could pour out my feelings for you We'd mix a dish that heals, soothes, and smells so good Inviting and entertaining... Collecting dust... The heart shaped glass bottle sits above the kitchen sink...

PURE INSTINCT
Like dogs the smell they sense They know from the way she moves uncaring and unpossessed.... They sense what's buried deep within They dig with all their might as if stealing another's prized possession... They search until she's naked... her soul bared for all to see There they leave her... Like dogs they take their leave... with a sense of accomplishment For they have acted on PURE INSTINCT

~*~ Protect Me ~*~
The wolve waits, in the bush Patiently he sits, assured of his success He waits as honey drips from his lips With words of comfort and rest His lips paw mine as if to say come He waits and honey drips from his lips The wolve waits, in the bush

#*# POISON #*#
I see. trickle from the tree poison water is free It flows to the brook... My roots thirst!
Should I not taste the best For then I shall not die in my quest Searching for water, that is pure Flowing freely by the shores...

"You & Me"
Everytime you think of tea think of me! And when you take a sip
remember how it went You and Me with our pot of Tea!
