Devil In Disguise

He's a devil in disguise--

One look too many into those eyes of Carolina blue

And you're mesmerized;

Words roll off his silver tongue

And go straight to your heart.

Before you realize what's going on,

He's in all your thoughts and dreams,

And you're longing for his touch,

His kiss, his love.

And if you give in to his sweet temptation

You'll be under his spell forever and beyond.

A new poetry form for me

Trying my hand at writing tanka, a Japanese poetry form composed of lines of 5-7-5-7-7 syllables.

Dark and gloomy day
Raindrops fall upon my cheeks
Blending with my tears
Sadness wraps me in blackness
And I long to see the sun.

Each day a new dream
To build a future upon
Each new dream a promise
Of many happy times for us
Through forever and beyond.

So many crossroads

So many wrong turns--

Always trying to find

Just the right place,

Just the right person.

And now it seems

All those wrong roads

Were just the way to lead me

Back to you.

Home At Last

For years I searched for a home--

That one place where I could be me

And be accepted just the way I am.

Imagine my surprise

When I realized that home

Isn't a place, but a person.

Home is you...your love, your acceptance...

And with you is where I need to be.

You"ll Never Know

You'll never know

The moment my heart shattered

You'll never know

Just how much it mattered

You'll never know

All the tears I've cried

You'll never know

How much this feels like goodbye

You'll never know

The words I long to say

You'll never know

Because you're pushing me away

You'll never know

For I can never tell

You'll never know

That I'm in this silent Hell.

This one woke me up in the middle of the night, already finished in my head....still amazes me when that happens!!

Passion Ignited

Like a bolt from the blue,
Unexpected and intense,
An added level of emotion
Drawing them closer and closer.
Words flowed like a fountain,
Flooding their minds
With truth and desire.

The Dance

Tentatively they dance,

Drawing close, backing away.

Neither wants to be the first

To put words to the feelings,

Afraid of rejection;

Always looking for encouragement

In the other's words and actions.
