Authors note:  I hope you’ll indulge me as I play a bit with fire (no pun intended).  My life is at a point where stress has taken a hold and will not release.  As such, I am finding more darker writings, as my mind tends to travel a bit far  😉 If you’re so inclined, please read on….Thank you.


With a flick of her finger, a wave of her hands

Sparks of the devil, ignite where she stands

Beauty is captured, in the glow of the fire

Spiraling upward, higher and higher

Conjuring heat, she‘s alive with the flames

Awaiting the fallen, whose souls she reclaims

Fear this demon, the one in which you confide

Her fire burns quickly, once your life is denied

I drift

Into the clouds

Thoughts linger like the mist

Early morning wakes, yet I

Continue to sleep

Aware and unaware,

Ascending, descending

Lost in the turbulence of life

Wondering where I belong

Seeking answers

To questions never asked

Finding solace in the unknown

For there I am free

Untethered, no stigmas

Unchained to reality

Unprovoked by the demons

That caress my heart

I dream, still

Afloat, while sunlight fades

And the skies weigh heavy

I know of only one place

Where I can breathe, so

Blissfully into oblivion

I drift

Today, I celebrate 32 years of marriage to the love of my life!  The Lord has truly blessed me with an incredible man  ❤


I can write a million poems
About true love, at its finest
But if I do, you certainly
Will find me a bit too biased

Thirty two years ago, this day
I married my very best friend
A man who stands beside me
On that, I can surely depend

“Dorinda, my lifetime partner”
Etched inside my wedding band
His promise, in a symbol, placed
On the ring finger of my left hand

We celebrate each other
No matter what it is we do
Adding to those every days
By saying, “I love you”

To those who have yet to find
The perfect one for you
Never give up hope, you see
Your soulmate’s waiting, too!

Clasped perfection, your hand in mine

Molded together, in perfect rhyme

A harmony created, a simple touch

Connected pieces, we crave so much

Two bodies pressed, in a breathless kiss

Blended forever, in a perfect bliss

That overworked, unbearable feeling

A malaise, an inability to comprehend

The misunderstandings of normalcy

The attack on the body and mind

Carelessly and haphazardly tossing

Any bit of sanity into an abyss of black

An empty hole, where darkness overtakes

Your eyes, battling to remain aware, losing

Drifting off into a common nightmare

Replaying again and again, skipping

Like a broken record, struggling

To gain an even ground, never

Finding the way to regain, the vigor

Of energy dissolved, you breathe

Beaten down, until you collapse

From the weariness of trying

To defeat the undefeatable
