Home will always be
My mother's arms
My children's laughter
And the love of friends

Poetry 
The language of longing 
of dreaming
of seeking 
of loving
of leaving

"We get paid on Friday"
"I" get paid on Friday  
I don't see anyone else's name on my time card

"We just need to work together"
You mean "I" just need to do all the cooking, cleaning, and caregiving

"We are in this together"
Then why do "I" feel like I'm doing "this" alone

"We keep doing the same things over and over"
"I" can only rewrite my part of the music
I cannot help if you choose to keep dancing the same steps

Roses are red
Violets are blue
To think about you
Puts me in the mood

Your scent in the air
That glint in your eyes
That knowing grin
That moistens my thighs

How long will you wait
Just sitting there
Biting your lip
While meeting my stare

At last you engage
And stalk 'cross the room
Your lips next to my ear
Whispered words I consume

You pay for my drink
Then offer your hand
I extend my own
And you help me to stand

Alone on the elevator
Our tension wound tight
This delicious game
I hope lasts all night

You capture my hands
A growl deep in your chest
Your lips upon mine
Making me wet

We finally arrive
And sprint ‘cross the floor
Desperate to slam 
The key in the door

Finally alone
Your hands in my hair
My arms 'round your neck
There’s no other care

Two souls aflame
Seeking release
And it all started
With a flirt and a tease

I like gray, rainy days
and words that start with the letter P
I like both boys and girls
and I like watching people play D&D

I like paper and pens
and cheeseburgers when I'm sad
I like philosophical conversations
and discussing dreams I've had

I like feelings
and wordplay
and poetry deep and dark
I like full moons
and new moons
and the sacred creative spark

I like soulmates
and best friends
and believing in heart bonds
I like ghost stories
and gut feelings
and speaking with gods

I like music
and theater
and unabashed dancing
I like laughter
and language
and flirtatious glancing

I like creating
and baking
and long sentences with tons of commas
I like stories
and slow burns
and getting lost in fictional dramas

I like philosophy
and fandoms
and so many things
I like that you reading this verse
gives my words wings

The stars have spun from the sky
And the golden morning glow returns
My love for you quietly awakens

I’m a strong believer in taking the chance.  I’d rather experience the adventure to arrive at knowing, regardless of the outcome, than experience the regret of never having quested at all.
