Vonda Overlie Poems

The canvas is bare where colorful paints use to play.

Days of rainbows and laughter and long walks on summer nights.
...

Your guilt buttons broken, someone flipped the switch
Was it just you or a tag team?

Broken in my eyes, yet whole in anothers.
...

Wild, uninhibited free to be me.
Not wanting to conform to the image of a 'Mom'

I am a woman. Desire burns in me.
...

Another day, another time, life seemed so carefree.
The most of my worries were the color of the curtains.
Bright Red I wanted them to be.
Perhaps a warning.
...

I examine you.. I have captured beautiful pictures of you in my mind's eye
Your broad shoulders draw me down to your lean waist, a man of strength
Your textured, manly arms hold me, I feel safe
I notice yours hands, your fingers, down to the nail beds, even those are memorable
...

Hearing your voice today brought me back. Laughing, feeling a connection.
Family.
Hearing your voice made me feel a part, a knowing, I belong to a Family.
We laughed about our past, planned happy thoughts for our future.
...

I will capture the innocence of that little child, who has great big stars in her big brown eyes.
Holding onto the feeling that she can be anything, Determined to conquer and fly with her wings.
Pure in heart, before life settled in to try and steal the joy of a gift that was given.
I remember the promise, the story goes on, Its a brand new day for a brand new song!
...

You roar with your magnificent voice
commanding the stage releasing the rage inside
You kinetically dance thru the leaves with your head held high then you are silent
Gathering your breath, you exhale to allow the foehn winds to carry you to warmth
...

Then tell me how a man romances you. Please

first by the way he treats me
and that is with respect
...
