Just an Ordinary Woman



  I am me-owned by no one-given freely to those of my choosing

-taking only want is needed-belonging nowhere and everywhere. 

 I am strong yet weak, smart but naive, kind and yet a bitch. 

 I can make you feel like the king of the earth or the lowest thing to crawl upon it.  But I am very forgiving.

 I may not pretty but I can be beautiful.  I am not evil but I can be a little wicked.  I require three things: love, respect and dignity.  And in return I will give you everything.

 I am a woman--I am me.

Drift Away

I lay here-

My hair draped across your arm-

My head upon your still bare chest.

I wear your body like a blanket.

The taste of your skin on my lips

Makes me hunger for more.

Our bodies--once raging; insatiable

Now relaxed and languid

Legs intertwined, become one.

Moonlight dances across the room

And down the wall coming to rest on us.

While the air is still heavy with love

I drift away-

Wood Rose

 The wind is dancing wildly outside.  Beyond my window I can see leaves swirling and falling to the ground.  Branches, half bare, bend low to catch them.  A night bird sings out his hollow song and embraces my soul.  I turn to see you sleeping, silver moonlight touching your face.  You lay warm and  vulnerable; completely unaware of anything.  You are a man and yet you are a child.  You are my heart.

  Beside is the last wood rose.  As I rescue it from its crystal prison petals fall at my feet.  They pool like silent tears.  One day, like this wood rose, I too shall lose my beauty.  So love me now my darling, for I fear you may not love me then.
