Feelings of love and care flow through
My entire body as I sit here.
Your touch is comforting, and
Your words are healing.
...

Finding a four-leaf clover,
Like winning a mini-jackpot.
The luck is in locating it,
And treating it like gold.
...

Ponytail girl, twirl your hair
So that all may know
Your shiny flair.
...

Contemplation consumes me.
I sit here,
In my bathroom,
In the only place
...

Waiting to be used
for whatever purpose
it may serve.
It sits there quietly
...

Waiting anxiously for the time to sleep.
Not being for sure when the time will come.
Sitting lazily, counting the white sheep.
Waiting, waiting, feeling just so dang dumb.
...

She searched for him the world
over.
He was in her dreams, but
when she tried to see his face,
...

Createful and original I may be with the dress.
A name I must create that fits the best.
It makes me feel as if I'm running the show.
Choosing what I like as I go.
...

To the classroom I go
Down various halls and
Up flights of stairs
As I run through my head
...

My prince, you make me feel
like a millionaire.
I enjoy when you serenade,
And gently play on my heartstrings.
...

Release...
The fear that harasses dreams.
Release...
The anxiety that eclipses the heart.
...

Nightmarish fiends surround me as I run down the hall.
FASTER! FASTER!
GO LEFT! NO, GO RIGHT!
My mind argues as my head swirls in a vortex of darkness.
...

The cold, winter night sky;
A warming blanket provided by God.
Those lights
Wink at me,
...

I want to hide my eyes so that my soul remains unseen.
I can't be certain that my dark side will stay silent forever.
Somehow you understand me without even trying.
And so I fall victim to your spell.
...

I can't eat anymore...
My appetite is looking for
Something to satisfy my soul.
A temporary fix won't do;
...

Delving into
Emotions that
Persistently try to
Repress
...

Somebody find me
a reason why everyone
doesn't wish to rush Headlong
and become a Killer Queen fan.
...

Darling,
'You've dyed me in your color, utterly.'
You are
That ray of light that makes my eyes sparkle.
...

This sexy poem you wrote for me
Fills my soul with such joyful glee!
Because finally to my soul's delight
I have a man to look at every night.
...

Hansel and Gretel
Went into the woods
To have some bread and gin.
