A Year of Wonder 2010

A year of wonder

Through all 4 seasons we have been growing now

Summer fling turned into quite a thing

This undulating thing never clear for more than a day or two.

Through all 4 seasons smiles and words shared

Tears shed lessons learned

but seldom completely understood.

Renewal awakened

The connection strong in spite of ourselves.

The missing pieces making acceptance harder.

Always tests and hurdles in the foundation of us

Honesty has been challenged.

Acceptance has been challenged.

Love awaits, hopefully unchallenged and unscathed to remain

Freely given.

With a heavy heart and I cloudy head

I sit here wondering.

Is the reason this feels like home

because maybe it is just like home?

The place I always felt alone

The place I always worked so hard to be loved.

Red Wine and Dark Chocolate

Red wine and dark chocolate.

Timeless notions of romance,

love eternal...dripping

from the sides of a vanilla candle.

Slowly burning like the flame of true love.

One slow burn after the next,

all my dreams go up in smoke, swirling...

like the ice in the bottom of the glass,

so long ago broken at your feet.

In the times of passion playing with the fire,

the times of reckless abandon

racing under the stars holding your chest

wind taking my breath away, whipping through my hair.

Roses, crab apple blossoms and countless geese.

Swans watched with magic in their eyes...the story unfolded

the miles walked among them, smelling the nectar,

your scent lingering on my mind through time.

Ageless, timeless like red wine and chocolate...

Delicious as a memory lingers.....

without fear, there is no pain.
