The wind still blows here
Built: forced to spin perfect
Take me; make it stop

Create
Poetry I crave and read daily
Minds I want to rip open and see
How can it be, words written perfectly
Faceless poetry it spins me
Forever lost in thoughts of might have been
all uniquely
Words which inspire a nation
An analyzer, who questions a lifetime
My Dear, you theorize
Create thinking or even dreaming
Show me Divine perfection
absorbed daily
Music played to reach my soul
Find me beyond the stars
I ache while each note played
I hear you in every melody
Make it yo-yo; I don’t care
play for me
Pictures taken with a keen eye
I imagine them taking me somewhere
Close the distance between you and me
Make me laugh, face my fears, even cry
Show me life on the other side
do it slowly
Paintings create emotion regularly
Colors help me think and release
Black and white take me to places of dark
The sexiest of the arts, painters feel humanity
Search the eyes of the one in charge
paint me pretty
I Remember You
I listen to the rain outside; I think of you
Why now do I choose to remember
I miss the rain…Maybe I miss you.
A sad tune; takes me back
You should have kept that song
I need sadness…Maybe I need you.
Ears full of every song you’ve written
They quite rightly send me to you
I hear your melody…Maybe I hear you.
Your voice takes me back to that night
Strong hands play. I drift away
I wait for memories…Maybe I wait for you.
Your artistic mind allows for comfort
Today you will be my place to dwell
I wish for comfort…Maybe I wish for you.
Play our favorite notes: The deep ones
Allow my soul to sing
I can sing…Maybe I can sing for you.
That night you taught me how to play
Your arms wrapped around my body
I played for you…Maybe I taught you.
Feeling safe, free and secure; my speed
You encouraged my path beautifully
I remember it…Maybe I remember you.
Princess Magic
Lay your head down my princess
The weather too cold outside
Relax and dream, continue the story
Do you remember the Beauty?
The one I speak of, as you drift to sleep
She’s inside of you, inside of me
A Beast did snatch her, I agree
But let me tell you more about him
A strong mind was his, given Divinely
Once sharing it, then to be left denying
His heart seemed cold until that day
A Princess came and stole it away
She saw the love inside his heart
It needn’t matter how he appeared
She’d used her heart to weaken fear
Remember, my little one, listen to me
If this is your wish, my sweet darling
Work your princess magic and go find him…
Her Curtain Falls
The door opened.
The door closed.
Arms open, grasping the wall
A thankful breath for survival
Fleeting bedroom route taken
Wandering towards her dresser
One by one earings separated
Body scrutinized in the mirror
Precarious eyes fall from witness
Craggy fingers skim about her neck
Tension felt to her toes
Shivers absolute over her body
His creation, she weakens
Leaning into him enduringly
His whispered presence declared:
You’re mine now, my stifled one
The merciless day is over…
Pins slowly removed
Curls allowed to be free
Cascading her curves
Gathering auburn ringlets
Spawns gentle smelling
A zipper stream composes
Her dress long forgotten
His tone used to rouse her:
Take off the passable mask
Come to me, my dark one
Turning through aphonic moaning
Delighted to see her dreaming one
She weeps:
Help me discount this cruel world, my love
Draw our bath
Combine two minds
Make me laugh
But, first, just lie back
Dragon’s Loyalty Award: I’ve Been Lifted Up
I have to accept the award given to me twice yesterday. The Dragon’s Loyalty Award has become one of my favorites, so the chance to blog about it again is so very welcomed. I’m thrilled to be acknowledged by two humorists or humourists. They’re brilliant at pulling out a chuckle or smirk. I was offered a new button for this award, but there’s something about this one that I like, so I’m keeping it. I’ve offered the other two options below, but first let’s get to the two bloggers responsible for making my day brighter yesterday.
Courage
This is my thinking place, I share it happily
I wish we could walk it once together
I have questions of life
Your answers provide my awakening
Your creative gift today, well, I’ll forever be thanking
Writing is a personal journey
Sharing it with others takes faith in God, for me
Remind me why we do what we do
Why writers rip open their minds
Toss contents on the table
Wear our hearts out on complete strangers
After today’s post I think I should share a photo I find comfort in remembering. The poem above I wrote after my friend, Michael, posted a beautiful photo. He wrote of encouraging thoughts along with it. His words helped then and they continue to help me today. Check out his photo and his blog, Harcourt 51, if you haven’t done so already. He is worth sharing with you guys. He creates wonderful opportunities to think and stretch your mind. His photos are spectacular, as well. For your words, Michael, once again I thank you.
I’m Up For It
We could watch paint dry together
Listen to my secretive prose
Quiet words flying nearby
I know
I’m up for it, if you are.
Stand in line to watch water evaporate
Tap our feet to your street music
Keep alive our creative beat
Finally same concrete
I hear
I’m up for it, if you are.
Sit here guessing similar fears
Search eyes; touch skin
For truth and acceptance
Kiss trembling away
I feel
I’m up for it, if you are.
All three creative and real
Capable of floating up
To be caught for witness
Changing many lives
I believe
I’m up for it, if you are.
Lying there with you
Let it be: I ask
Maybe today you can?
Try to be my kind of Saturday
Who Said The Word Snow? I’m Coming To Find You…
I’m quite upset this morning, don’t you see?
We were supposed to wake up screaming something like, “IT’S SNOWING!”
They let us know 19 hours too early, that school would be canceled today without thinking.
Whoopie! I’ll spend my day writing and baking. It’s just the weather to write of love-making.
I’ll keep the kettle hot for coffee, cocoa and tea, all the while children watch something on T.V.
No, I’m not up North and I haven’t moved back to the middle of this country.
You see, we’re still down here in cowboy country, but the snow apparently isn’t coming.
Texas had a winter warning, snow and ice it seemed, and me without my equipment for sledding.
I guess we’ll read and eat those muffins over there cooling.
Yes, eat them all day long, it seems.
We won’t get out of our jammies, I don’t care what you think.
Who closes school for a snow day 19 hours too early?
That would be Texas, we don’t have the road clearing means…
But please, wait until you see something happening.
Today, life was canceled for snow and ice.
I have two confused children who await explaining!
Ice Season
A Field in South Texas
Growing a field of ice
A farmer’s work never done
Even in South Texas
I Hope This Never Ends
Galveston, TX
I wondered the quiet beach and imagined you today
Seemingly embodied in each crystal clear blue wave
I searched for your words as you twisted us closer
Roughly escorting me deeper into that vast ocean
Pull me under and into your strong current, I plea
Might as well, around you I can’t seem to breathe
Feel us spin effortlessly in the morning water, too
Again I stumble, beating my head against the sand
Maybe I’ll learn and these feelings can finally end
Again, what my mind does for you…
Don’t You Know
Words
Billions and Billions go unsaid
Touch
Billions and Billions pulled back
Kiss
Billions and Billions turned aside
What we’d have if we just accepted
A constant surge of wants and needs
Take them, please
Fight with me about adversities
I’ll take what I can get
This silence is killing me
Push Me
Push Me!
Demand, I push you back
Open Me Up!
Force, my feelings out
Hold my arms down
Seize my eyes, as they attack yours
Feel it?
Feel that powerful tension
Don’t turn away
I need you to stay
Letting me win
Well, that’s often his way
Push Me, my whispered plea
Make me push you back
Open Me Up, I silently beg
Force my lack of feelings out
The Journey
. . . So it matters to me . . .
. . . A deliberate path . . .
. . . Time taken, care advised . . .
. . . Focus the journey and stay alive . . .
. . . Mustn’t allow my weakness to flow . . .
. . . It’s all a game, don’t you know . . .
. . . Scratch that, it isn’t you see . . .
. . . My past crushed me . . .
. . . My present a healing hell . . .
. . . My future deliberate, one only I can tell . . .
I Feel You
On days when my mind races;
This heart of mine you keep it beating.
Forever lost in powerful dreaming;
Oh please, agree to release me.
Grant the creativity I feel deep inside;
Muse, bravely lead me through our eternity.
Dance Woman Dance
Dance perfectly, my woman
Offer an honorable and friendly curtsy
Smile on time, I remember you once forgetting
Shut your mouth, the explaining appropriate never
You should have thought of that selfish woman, you know better
Makes sense now doesn’t it? I’ve told you, your silly dreams forever hindering
Gray Clouds of Doubt
I see you there little leaf in the tree,
Are you hanging there to scare me?
I can’t quiet seem to figure you out,
Maybe you’re here to distract or calm my doubts?
Why do you continue to hold on?
Don’t you know all the others have gone?
Do you see a future that others did not see?
Why would you choose to wait with me?
Being left alone does not frighten this lady, only strengthens, I believe.
Go along and find the others, I see them all waiting curiously.
Don’t trouble yourself with lingering here now, honestly
Not Another Award Post! No! But, It’s Me: Audrey
Okay, its award time. Trust me, this has been a long time coming. I am way behind in thanking everyone for encouraging me. I have to say that I was surprised at the amount of friends I have to thank. Some of you shocked me. I didn’t even know you were reading my posts. For the record, I have a special place in my heart for you quiet readers. I happen to be one on occasion.
This is a long post. I’ve tried to speed it up as best I can without taking away from the bloggers who truly need a push and the recognition. Please forgive my writing errors today. I’m not going to say I didn’t spell check, because it may be the only thoughtful correcting I did for you.
We’ve got to get to this quick, as you all know how much work goes in to posting and pasting all of this important information. I want to make sure I get it correct for all of us. Just please know I am thrilled to have my badges on the side of my blog and am thankful for such a supportive group of followers. Okay, this is going to be fun, I promise.

Solemn Battle
Written for Professor VJ Duke, the keeper of The Punchy Lands! He's a constant supporter of mine. I hold him quite dear. Read of his Punchies , his land is captivating. The professor commanded me to write of swords. I confessed that swords and I had no history. I insisted I wouldn't know how.
