Magnetic Mistress

She calls to him.

Her magnetic force makes him weak.

The urge is so powerful he can’t turn away.

Every idle thought is reserved for her.

Every sacrifice to win her.

He speaks the lies knowing the truth.

Who can save him?

I want to help but I can’t.

I wish I could show him how to dismiss her from his mind.

The world is out there waiting for him.

But first he must leave her behind.

She keeps him from his son.

He sacrifices the miracle for the desire.

He can’t undo what’s been done.

From this mistress I wish he would tire.

And be the father his son could admire.

Can I Be Your Muse

 

Can I be your muse

Can I be your inspiration

If only I could hide away unnoticed

I would feed your spirit and entertain your soul.

 

Would it be worth all the sacrifices

Could it be like the dreams that play in my mind

The ones that tantalize my being

 

Can I suspend time and feel the heat

Would it be worth the burn

Would it tattoo my soul

 

This intense desire is so impure

Yet, it lurks where no one sees.

 

Can I be your muse

Can I be your inspiration

A Place Like No Other

The alarm goes off

I hit the snooze

The news is on

And it’s not good

I want to go back into my slumber.

I want to dream of a place like no other

A place where dreams float upon the air

Where you can reach high and take your pick

A place where peace, love and compassion reign

Where the innocence of our children is not at risk

A place where they can grow strong and stable

Where never a harsh word could be spoken.

Or a clenched fist raised

A place where war has no meaning

A place where men and women don’t have to

die to be free

A place where tears turn to laughter

A place where the sense of loss becomes

a little less heavy

Until that exists in the world

I’ll continue to dream of

a place like no other.

Now what….

My first blog post. Now what…. lol I’ll use this space to post my random ramblings, perhaps some poetry. We’ll see what inspires me.
