Vicious Season

image

Tornado season arrives to greet us,
Lost in thoughts of neon green.
Wind, rain and an eerie calmness,
Consumes our dark afternoon hour.
Content that I’m where I should be,
Mother Nature unleashes her power.
Siren blows, to the basement we go,
Relieved to know God’s protecting.
Stay calm, Big Brother is watching,
Our vicious and swirling Nebraska sky.
Three sisters grew up trusting him,
Today proves nothing has changed.
Fire Chief’s job begins, as we wait,
We love our big brother, please keep him safe.
Amen

I wrote this poem during my first weekend in Nebraska. Mid June weather at its finest, my friends. We’re all fine and the destruction was minor for my hometown. (Weeks earlier the destruction much more severe.) The clouds, however, unforgettable.

Beauty

image

There’s this face I see
In the mirror
Occasionally lost in fantasy
Pushing through
Emotionless days
I’m done looking
Sunshine
Show your rays
Fingers pointing out
All my flaws
One freckle
Two freckles, gone
Forget it
Lost cause
Nose too short
Cheeks too big
None mine
All inherited
Should be thankful
Proud, too
Yet poisoned
By You

Renaissance Man

image

I rode with my brother in law for a bit while the weather was cooperating the other day. I trust him with my life, so while riding his motorcycle I took a few pictures of our time together. Everyone say HI to my BIL, Double D. He’s been keeping my baby sister happy for years.

DD’s a man’s man, a diesel mechanic, and a farm boy originally from Colorado. The bonus is that this gem of a man is brilliant and plays the piano, as well. Nothing hotter than a Renaissance Man. My Sis can pick’em. Thanks for the ride, Double D. Love ya!

Open road
Ya wanna go
We’ll travel slow
Enjoy today’s breeze
Command the bike easily
Yellow all around me and you
Chance meetings upon going faster
Random photography creates laughter

You Calm Me

image

You calm me

You pass through my soul
Like a warm summer wind
Easing me back into color
I’m thankful for where you’ve been

You calm me

Staying by my trembling side
Laughter with my movements
Sparkle in these shy eyes
You could easily be the reason why

You calm me

Take me, I’m yours
Good morning, my love
Come closer, accept my gratitude
I owe you so much more

You calm me

Infatuated kisses await your approving
Release this passion I hold
Longing to feel you wash over me
Thankful that you want me close

You calm me

Grant me the permission I crave
Allow me to calm you
Last night’s wistful dreams
Should be your morning reality

Simplicity

image

Whirls of adored simplicity
A delicacy in abounding view 
Stretching her immaculate petals
A life of extravagance is her dream
Burdened to sway within these leaves
Predestined, but she agrees to glow
Allowing her white curves to show
Slender dancing limbs persuade
Pristine color an earthly fate
As we all watch intently
Indulging in her glow

Texas Beauty Queen

image

Spotlight temptress
Texas beauty queen
She knows what she’s doing
Ripples of pleasure
From top to bottom
Do you think she finds anything better
Look who’s here, Baby
Summer
And you, her king
Allowing you to look
One day, to touch
Your vase aching
She, just as much
She’s offered you
A place to rest
Velvet petals
Golden glowing toy
Flower of spring
Waiting for her Cowboy
Her summer fling

(By the pool today and it is HOT!! Maybe this is, too. Enjoy…)

The Road Home

image

Yes, you found it,
This is the road,
The one that’ll take me home.
Country girl,
With a heart for rock-n-roll.
Listening to your music,
Takes me there again,
Dark rooms with neon lights.
Strings that soothe,
The tremors at night.
Being swept away to a beat,
Fuels a passion inside me.
Drinks which prove,
A bleeding heart,
Will do just about anything.
Dance with you and with him,
Either way I lose myself with them.
This time I’m wiser,
I know what I want.
Leadership,
On the dance floor.
Submission,
To a higher power.
A desire,
With swift awakenings.
Wrap me in your lyrics,
Teach me with your strings,
Let’s dance.
Allowing, your lead.

Our Fantasy

image

I’m a dreamer and nothing more
Reality, much easier to ignore
This green is a part of me
Sings sweet music
Of folklore
Fairy dust
Fair maidens, it seems
Be my Robin Hood
You have to
You must
These tears
Falling are true
I’m nothing without you
Lost in a reality
I don’t understand
Yet, clarity
You seem to understand
Take control
Sing the verse
Let your strings
Pour through first
Lay with me
Under this fantasy tree
Put your able hands
All over me
Passion a must
You, I trust
