EMpower Me
Do not strip me
Of my personal power
In, this, my shining
And long-awaited hour
The struggle is over
And I have survived
I am no victim
For I have finally arrived
I fought the demons
That haunted me
This Phoenix will rise
Just watch and see
The woman I am
Is who I want to be
So watch me soar
As my spirit flies free

Good Night
There's never been a time...
I felt you looked at me with pride
There's never been a moment...
I felt you knew how hard I've tried
I've never lived a day...
Without feeling I'm to blame
I've never felt deserving...
For myself, I feel only shame
I'm tired of doing wrong...
When I try so hard for right
Yes, I've failed at life...I know...
And now, with love, I say good night

Goodnight Sean... I Love You
I'll tuck you into bed...
Each
And every night
We'll share a prayer
Or two
... By the pale
Moon light
You can confide
In me...
I'll listen to each
And every thought
We will discuss
Your day...
Tell me what subjects
Were you taught?
Did you play

Strong To My Core
I'm impressed with the ease by which
you could sit back and idly observe,
while I was degraded and demeaned
by he who attempted to create the illusion
of superiority
His antagonistic approach?
Clearly and purposely personal,
far beyond the realm of necessity,
complete with snide comments
and a mocking smirk
I may have stumbled, wavered
and lost balance...
...even questioned my value
as a woman
...But I did not crumble

Purely Pleasure
Upon shadowed perch
We devour, dance & sing
Our passion ignites
Watch the pendulum swing
It's impossible to describe
... We search for words to express
These spectacular pleasures
Felt in each and every caress
Such tantalizing sensations
Leave us sated, not for long
Again our bodies are drawn together
To dance a sacred lover's song
Overwhelming magnetic forces
Two lovers drawn to this fate
Eager lips lock while bodies join
Orgasmic explosions anticipate

Garden Of Eden
Such a sacred sanctuary of serendipitous serenity
Nestled, cradled within the bosom of a Divine Oasis...
With a loving hand, Mother Earth has exquisitely unleashed Her artistic ability
Through this work of art we are blessed to referred to as 'Nature'
Leafy shades and textures green, dance to wind gust symphonies
Finely crafted woods compose uniquely seductive beats
This protective pocket provides a secluded Paradise...
So I stand beneath with head thrown back, arms outstretched and inhale
This slice of Heaven…
Above me, brilliant rays of light, paint kisses upon my freckled canvas
The Sun sets in shades of crimson and shall reappear after this night's rest
In its absence, a blanket of dark stretches across the sky; a Heavenly sight
Speckled lights twinkle as a fistful of glitter is Fairy-dusted across the sky
Moon's light, stars bright
Such an impressive sight
