Prologue’s Promise…

~*~

Embrace

~*~

  Celestial space…a place where thoughts…imagination…ideas… words… prose… and dreams dwell…
Their minds meet mutually in a way neither has known before…..
Instant ignition…
He challenges her…
He encourages her…
Inspires her…
Intrigues her…
Magnetism drawing them closer…
She sees him…
He sees her…
Collision…
He captures her heart…
She captures his…
Each willingly surrendered to the other…
Their souls entwine…

They meet…
He holds her close…
A kiss tells them each more than words can express…
They share everything…
Hearts merge…
Love binds…

Precious moments fill each day with laughter…adventure…shared perfection…
The sands of time flow faster than the rushing river…
He promises her forever…
She desperately wishes to believe him…

Their last embrace with a final kiss…they must let each other go…

She watches him walk toward the plane waiting to take him away…
She turns so he won’t see her tears…

She walks away…with such sadness…

Feeling alone but for all those magical moments that remind her of his love and devotion…

Her love for him growing…evermore…

In the silence of his absence melancholy her new companion…

Hope whispers…
She listens…smiles in remembrance…
His last words fill her mind…

“This is only our prologue…”

Decadent daze…

A Soul’s dream

Intrinsically unique…

Unceasing in your power…

Curiously wondrous…

Desires Dichotomy….

~*~

waiting under tree girl

~*~

There was always desire…
A rare connection…
I could feel it when our eyes would meet
Then we had would look away… Unable to hold the intensity of it…
Did you feel it too?
Confusion in desire’s illumination…
You will never know me the way I’ve dreamed of…
I will never be yours…
You will never be mine…
Whether you dreamed of me will remain a mystery…
Now it is too late…
I hope you understand…
I cannot wait any longer…
I waited…but you were never mine…
You know we’re headed separate ways..
We’ll always have one thing…
Desire’s dichotomy…

Whisper Intrigue…

Whisper Intrigue...

~*~

I’ve been thinking of you…
Dreaming of every detail…
Your voice when you speak my name…breathless…
How you would look into me when our eyes would meet…

Our souls touching tentatively at first…
Seeing…seeking…knowing…
How your eyes would sparkle when you’d smile at me…

Your smile bright as a thousand suns….
Adoration in your gaze…
Your words whisper intrigue…aphrodisiac….seducing me…
I’ve been thinking of you…
Of the times we say nothing…conversations through our heated gaze… unable to look away…
Yes…I’ve been thinking of you…
And I wonder…do you think of me?

She had studied this scene over and over in her mind. She knew every step, knew how long she would have when the moment came. She had to be perfect; there would be no second chance. She steadied her breath. Her accoutrements were at the ready.

Now all there was left to do was wait. Yes, wait for that perfect moment. She heard footsteps begin the descent down the majestic staircase. Counting each footfall….knowing he was coming closer. She positioned her .338 Lapua Magnum…looking through the scope she was ready; three more steps and the mark was hers

“Mom!” startled she stepped away from her laptop to investigate…

I have had the highest honor, once again, to read aloud another piece of Neil’s…this from his Caffeine Chronicles. I am a caffeine/coffee addict and an addict of his words! Thank you Neil…for yet another divine collaboration! 😀

pretzellogic's avatarMy Pretzel Logic

“From where I sit, I can still see your teaspoon stop mid-stir, thin wisps of steam rising from your mug – your Holy Grail – and then you’re gone. You never said so much as a goodbye or thanks. You just went ahead, choking on either the teaspoonful of cappuccino or the bitter words that came out of our mouths.” — The Caffeine Chronicles

THE FOLLOWING audio clip is my second collaboration with fabulous Christina Brownlee. Once more, thank you, Christina!  Tempest in My Coffee Cup, like all my other works, was written from a masculine perspective. Having it in sound bites and in feminine POV has given the piece a fresh new meaning. The character that swarmed then settled deep inside my head long ago is now gone.  In its place is someone who may not exactly share my thoughts, my particular fears, my place in the world…

Let Me Be….

~*~

Let Me Be...

~*~

Cacophony…Noise….Disquiet….

It is too much…

All of it…

Let me be still…

I want to think my quiet little thoughts in surround sound of silence…

Let comfort be my pillow and tranquility my blanket….

If words were my ocean…let me dip my toes into the pool of serenity….

let them swirl about soothing me…whisper intrigue…

as they entwine to form expression of emotion…

A thought…a feeling…a wish…

They encircle me filling me with wonder at their joining…

Fascination at their power…

Yes…please…

Let me be…just for awhile longer…

If I am very still…they come to me…dance for me…bring me tears…delight…placidity…

a quixotic smile at their unique denouement…

Yes…please…

Let me be…

Captivated…

~*~

~*~

You look into me…

Me into you….

We meet there in the middle…

Captivated…

Need drives its own insistent desire to inception…

Embraced in this perfect moment…

Held by the enigmatic nature of will…

Unable to look away…

Locked in place….

Locked in time…

Don’t look away…

Keep me here as I memorize your soul with mine…

Let us stay suspended in wonder….

Before reality’s ocean rips us apart….

We are helpless in its wake….

Fate’s cruelty using us as pawns for pleasure….

Neither here nor there….

Our moment permanently fixed in the stars for all time…

Love…without completion…without end…

Forever captivated….

The Answer To The Great Question…

The Answer to the Great Question…”
“Yes..!”
“Of Life, the Universe and Everything…” said Deep Thought.
“Yes…!”
“Is…” said Deep Thought, and paused.
“Yes…!”
“Is…”
“Yes…!!!…?”
“Forty-two,” said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.”
―    Douglas Adams,    The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

~*~

And so it is…on January 17th I’ll be “Forty-two”, so I guess I am the answer to the great question. 😀  A dear friend pointed this out to me…I hadn’t thought about it much…I usually don’t because myself, my eldest, and youngest daughters all have birthdays in January…11 days apart. I decided this year I would give a shout out for me…and make a few changes on my blog. Yes….I know what you’re thinking….my life really is that exciting!! 😉

I would like to thank everyone who has visited, liked, commented, and followed me along this journey adding so much richness, love, and encouragement to my life…each of you light up my world and keep the darkness at bay.

Thank you cherished friends…more than words will allow me to express.
