Scent

floating
feeling as light as a feather
my body is covered
in your scent
heat is rising
close my eyes
warm thoughts of you
fill my head
laying alone
i think of you
and
i ache all over
this bed is lonely without you

Unlocked

i want to be free
no concrete walls
naked
i want you to see
i want to be unlocked
watch the walls dissolve
as you slowly, lovingly
break them down
i want you to see
everything
i want to be free

Gentle

a gentle caress
across my face
i am in
another time and place
when you touch me
i feel no space
between you and i
in between the sheets
the warmth of your kiss

Breath

a quiet rythm
my warm breath
on the back of your neck
watch your body
rise and fall
you are asleep
a peaceful state
perfect

My Greatest Achievement So Far.....

Still looking for my "dream" job. Some days are good, some aren't so good. But, in my typical fashion, I'm keeping a smile on my face and putting out good vibes to the universe.

One of the jobs I applied for this week responded to my application. They asked me to respond to 5 personality questions. The first question was, "What do you think your greatest achievement is so far?". I didn't even have to think twice.

My greatest achievement this far along in life is you, my circle of friends. I've lived in six cities over the last 18 years, and when you live away from your immediate family like I do, you have the privilege of choosing your family and I feel so greatful to have each one of you in my life. You have been there when I've needed you. To me, it's more about quality than quantity. I know that if I need anything at all, I have you to count on. That brings me much happiness.

Thank you for being in my life!

Just out of reach

Just out of reach
One more time
When will I touch it
When will it be mine
I've come close
So many times
There are times I
Sit and cry
It is close
This time around
I pick myself up again
And inspiration I've found
This time I'll grasp
Around my fingers
Never let it go
I'll come out the winner

I Wait

I wait for you
And wonder
Where you are
When will you get here
Are you near
Or are you far
I need your warmth
I need your embrace
Would you wipe my tears
From my face
I wait for you
To hold me tight
Will you be there
In the morning light
And until you come
And I see your face
I'll dream of us
In our special place
