To be blessed being raised in the Florida keys, where sun rises and sunsets calmed ones soul... feeling the heat and the taste of salt on your skin, the coolness of the water deep below, riding a dolphins tail, seeking out simple treasures of sea shells and drift wood and pretending to be a mermaid swimming with underwater creatures around the pink coral reefs. Wild islands not yet congested by humans, a place not part of the world today. Still, I have special places not shared.
The only one who loved you
who could have given you the world …
But you grew tired of waiting…
I told you I was not ready in the beginning
...
I must give up on life
And turn into a stone
The desert wind quite suited me
No heart, no mind-just bone
...
The first time I have ever loved:
Yours, the first face I cannot forget.
I think you are afraid, perhaps, and moved
To wonder whether you should do this yet.
...
in quiet days..
while raindrops whisper on your pane...
but in your memories have no regret....
let the joy remain
...
The sorrow still remains
I so long for love from thee
but chains won, t set me free
My heart is full of love for one
...
