Insomnia plagues
As her mind races without
Stopping for relief.
It’s at times like this when I really wish there was an “on/off” switch for my brain. My mind keeps dwelling on thoughts, ideas, and issues of all shapes and sizes and just won’t let me sleep.
If anyone would like to share their bedtime rituals that help them get a nice refreshing sleep, please feel free. I’m interested in some helpful ideas and suggestions.

This is in honor of the birthday boy today. He just turned three!
Daring to confront all
Unknown sights, smells, and crumbs,
Keen to protect his home and family,
Every day is a new adventure.

(So sorry everyone for my disappearance! I had been extremely busy with finishing up school. In fact, just last week I graduated from college with my bachelor’s degree, bringing with it the end of an era! I’m going to do my best to get back to writing and post when I can. Thank you for your patience, and I hope I haven’t lost you!)
She stands at the edge of a cliff
Eyes closed
Breathing deeply
In and out
As she contemplates her next step
The road to this moment
Has been long and difficult
Years of both
Success and failure
Victory and defeat
Joy and pain
Love and hate
Memories from her past
Whisper in her ear
Caress her skin
Tugging gently at her dress
Filling her thoughts
Luring her to turn around
Many months have come and gone
Lives have moved on
Yet she wonders
If she should reach out
And make contact
It will never be as it once was
The past cannot be rewritten
Feelings wither and fade
The old is replaced with new
Over the cliff
Lies the ocean of her future
There will be calm waters
With stormy seas
Everything is a possibility
Nothing is certain
Frozen with uncertainty
She prepares to make the plunge

Your fingers trailing
Across my skin
Leave a path of sparks
And tingles
Plunging me into a state
Of delirium and pleasure
Helping me to escape
The weary woes of the world
With the clasp of your hand
Joined with mine
Looking into my eyes
As if you are gazing
Into my soul
Seeking out my deepest
Thoughts and desires
The smile from your mouth
Radiates all the way up
To your eyes
And out through your arms
Wrapped tightly around me
Our bodies gravitate toward
Each other
In an indescribable intoxication
That neither of us can
Explain
Let us enjoy
One another
In these moments
Of laughter
Of care
Of intimacy

Clinging to her piece of driftwood
She gazes out at the vast sea
From where she floated
To where she is headed
How did it come to this?
Where did it falter?
The waters initially tumbled
Around her
In an encompassing embrace
Of passion and certainty
Storms battered and threatened
Yet still she clung to the driftwood
Vowing to see it through
Making it work
As she clung fiercely
It began to feel loose
Disintegrating
No longer sustaining
Support and life
It is unwise
Clinging to what will
Inevitably cause her
To sink and
Drown
So she let go of
The driftwood
And surrendered to
The pull of the tides
Into the unknown
Maybe there will be
Something
Or someone
Someday
To help keep her
Afloat

(I’ve debated and suffered long enough over my feelings and found that B isn’t the one I should be with. It shouldn’t be this painful, stressful, and emotionally draining. I deserve someone who will treat me like the amazing and beautiful woman I am and never hesitate to show he cares.)

Does what you say truly come from your heart
Or is this an ideal you rushed into without
Undergoing true thought and meaning?
By your words, actions and lack
Thereof, I painstakingly wonder.

Heart be strong
It won’t be long
‘Til you will be fulfilled
The dark will end
You can depend
On that it will be stilled
Loneliness creeping in
Emptying me of motivation
Rendering me helpless
Powerless to accomplish
What must be done
Heart be strong
It won’t be long
‘Til you will be fulfilled
The dark will end
You can depend
On that it will be stilled
Feeling removed from everyone
As if a wall has been erected
Between me and the outside world
I would love my hand to be held
As I am pulled to inclusion
Heart be strong
It won’t be long
‘Til you will be fulfilled
The dark will end
You can depend
On that it will be stilled
The distance is difficult
Depending on scattered
Texts and phone calls
But his voice and words of
Love and support help heal
Heart be strong
It won’t be long
‘Til you will be fulfilled
The dark will end
You can depend
On that it will be stilled
