I smell the musk of my womanhood

As I think of you & grow wet

Remembering our times together

The love we shared when your love

Was only mine . . .

I remember

The sweetness of your mouth

As your lips caressed mine

& our tongues explored

The passion wrapped in our kiss

I remember

The dance of your fingers

Across the smoothness of my skin

As you explored the curves & contours

Of my womanly form & whispered in my ear softly

You are beautiful Lynda . . . I love you

I remember

How you entered my waiting heart

With words of love, tenderness & strength

& for that moment

Not only where you mine

But you loved me

As no one ever has

& my heart

Has never been the same

I remember life before you

I crave you

Desire you

Have a fire

for only you

But . . .

I remember

You said . . .

Good bye

Sometimes it still hurts

even after all the time has passed

Sometimes it still hurts

even after the memories have started to fade

Sometimes it still hurts when

I occasionally go

to those places

we

came to know

so well

Sometimes

I cry for you

in my sleep

&

I realize

it was just a dream

&

the moment fades

&

I drift

&

my mind

remembers

what I told my heart

to forget

Sometimes it still hurts

even

after all this time

Sometimes

when I am alone

you

slip into my thoughts

&

I gaze

transfixed

into space

while you drift

through the windows

of my soul

&

touch once again

the heart

of the soul

of the one

that loves you

still

&

sometimes

it still hurts

but I go on

& live

in the shell

that has become my life

I go on

alone

even though

sometimes

it still hurts

I died the

day you entered me

I became pregnant

when you gave to me

your seed

My heart broke

when you harshly said

to me

We are not together

Only now I do not cry

As I once did

I do not care

As I used to

I do not . . . Feel the pain

I will never feel pain again

Kaboom in Her Arms

You are laid in her love

Wrapped in her arms

Savoring her touch

And for you nothing else matters

Not the pain that you have endured

Not the distance

Not the past

Not the price

Nothing matters to you but this moment

That you are finally

Back in her arms

Only you lied to me

I need to see you

I need to look into your eyes

To see if your soul will betray

The words that you will speak

I need to hold your hand

To feel your pulse

As you stand before me

And explode my world

Into a million pieces

Because I was foolish enough

To love you

To believe you

To trust you

You owe me that

The train whistle blows in the distance

As the warm night breeze plays

In the glass wind chimes

While the stars dance

In the midnight velvet sky

The moon plays

Hide and seek

With the clouds

As your words

Haunt my soul

Its over . . .

The Tears

The words

reveal the pain and sadness

that I hide deep in my heart

the only thing that I can do

is write

to pour out

to empty

to release

What I feel

What I don’t feel

What is real and imagined

I feel you

I feel others

I feel

Sometimes to many things

And my body can’t handle the emotions

So my eyes weep

of their own accord

And I am powerless

to stop

The tears

They are not

Always my tears

They come from my eyes

but sometimes

I weep for you

I weep for others

I weep for the ones

that are too hard

Too damaged

Too dead

To weep

release

And once again

have peace

But . . . can you understand this my love?

will you understand

this does not

make me weak

this does not diminish

my power

my gift

my purpose

It is

the reason

I am
