I want to
Disappear
Blend in
With the drops of rain
Landing
Upon a flower’s petal
Slowly
Making my way
Down the stem,
Into the ground
Traveling
Under the earth
Finding
My way
Into the river
Flowing
Into the ocean
Disappearing
In the waves

A mother’s love is true
For it beautifully blossoms
Like a rose, softly unfolding,
Enveloping,
Opening the heart,
Nurturing the soul

Your love is like the ocean
An endless sea of soft waves
Flowing over me, caressing
Cooling the fire that burns
Inside of me, I hear the roar
Like the tide, it crashes down
Then, recedes, into the deep
Let me drink of you, taste
The saltiness of your skin
The ebb and flow of desire
It knows no depth, my love
Only that we became one
Two souls united, our tiny grains
Blended, with the sands, sublime

She floated
from room to room
Her elegant figure
traced on the walls
from the light
of a street lamp
that shone through
an undraped window
She was like the wind
subtle, unseen
a presence
felt only by
the brush of a breeze
I watched in silence
afraid to disturb
this spirits journey

Dedicated to my beautiful Aunt Dee, whom I call my sister because she truly is. Battling with MS, she has more courage than anyone I know. I love her dearly.
She is my sanity, the voice of reason
When life sends me spiraling down
She is there, to catch me, to lift me up
When I can’t seem to find myself
She reminds me how far I’ve come
Never questioning who or what I am
Always by my side, always on my side
Even through her own battles
She is my rock, my soul sister, my friend
Letting me know I am stronger than ever
Yes, I am stronger, because of her
