I am strong
but weak

I am ill
but have hope

I am a writer
surprised

I am woman

I am nice
and see that as good

I am a dancer
still in my soul

For your Birthday
I wanted to write you a poem
of love.
But as I took my pen in hand
I realized a few lines
are not enough to
express all you are to me.
There are not the words

I sit staring out my window again
Stuck in this room

Looking in the mirror

I Always Have You Near Me

I always have you near me
Even if you are far away

Your love is carried to me
On the whisper of Butterfly wings
Even when you are far away

I used to see.

I am Gaia,
I walk the earth but no one sees me.

Each of my steps is a day
To those who inhabit this world

On the day he finds me
I will be far away
On the day he finds me
I will have loved him for years
On the day he finds me
I won’t forget
On the day he finds me
I will begin to live again

Life can really take you on the most amazing paths; some bad, some good, but always interesting. Who would have thought that I, a girl working towards a degree in chemistry and former professio…

No More
I don’t want this anymore
I want it gone
Poof
No more hurting
No more pain
No more endless tired days
I want something good to happen
To me

To my life

On Butterfly wings
I flew away
To see the world in a day

A swallowtail was my ride
We were seeking
Adventure far and wide

We soared with power
I did not know she had

They Don’t Know Me

They don’t know me
These people who say
They are my friends
They don’t know me
How alone I have been
Sitting here, lying here
Day after day
They quip:

Oh to Dance Again

Oh to Dance Again
To feel my wings and fly
To feel the love, the passion,
the joy
Every fiber of your body used
Every part both soft and strong
Every fiber filled wi…
