Premonition

There is nothing more that I fear
Than a feeling that I feel most clear
I cannot describe what someone sends
But I do appreciate the ear that one lends

Who is there to send the message? I do not know
But I know I listen to whoever when they say so
I cannot predict what awaits me every day
But I heed to whomever and what they say

Sometimes it's a butterfly feeling within my body
I'm sure listening to this I probably sound dotty
But I cannot ignore the voices that rattle within my head
If you only you could hear some days what they said

I wish I could thank whoever is watching me when I roam
And even on the days when I stay alone home
There doesn't need to be a name to the angel who does hover
But I appreciate the one who shows me wings that cover

May you be a friend or family member that has passed on
Continue to send your messages until I too am gone

A Little Bit More

There is nothing out there that I love more Than you when you walk through my door Every moment, every adventure and mini quest I love when we travel to the north south east & west!
Quiet moments at home, before the TV and dinner too When we whisper and laugh, oh how I truly love you! Even when we sit in silence in the car or on the couch I tuck away even these moments for when I'm a grouch
Even as I sit here writing this little love letter I'm missing you and wishing that you feel better It's been a very quick four months and a year And yet each time you leave I wish you were back here
We have more adventures to plan and places to roam But my favorite is sitting with you laughing at home I'm still so happy that you walked in through my door As each day that passes I love you just a little bit more

Fallen in Love

I'm good with words, when I write with my pen
I can rhyme, create and make things happen
But to say these sweet things to you, my dear
Well, you truly have nothing to fear

You know there's more to me than what you can see
With you I'm certainly becoming a better me
With what you do, with what you say each night
All of this is much easier to write

I have fallen in love with all of you
Your smile, your heart, yes this is true
Your kiss, your touch, every word that you say
Please make today last forever and a day

Thinking of you always, you do know this
As always, I send your way a loving kiss

Be with Me

I wrote so many love poems and had phrases in my head
These things I retained, to others they remained unsaid
These sweet words were not to be revealed until much later
When they were appreciated by you, someone greater

I come across old snippets of writings that I saved
Of when I was laughing, or when I actually caved
To what life was throwing at me on that particular day
I resorted to writing, and left it unsure of what to say

As I read completed poems and find sketches of lovers
I wonder why I hid these things under journal covers
Then a picture of you and I together comes to mind
And I cannot wait to see what else I can hopefully find

They say that good things come to those who wait
And I'm so happy that you're here, thank you fate
Now I have someone that is the true image of my work
Who loves me for me, every joke to silly quirk

There is absolutely no other person I would rather see
In anything that I write, just you being with me

Disney

Alice found answers in Wonderland
Wendy fell in love in Neverland
Dorothy found a home at Oz
Moana found out her true cause

Aurora woke up in a dream come true
Snow White, so young, she did too
Mulan fought to prove that girls can fight
Merida proved that family is always right

Cinderella spoke up to change her universe
Ariel defended another to break a curse
Jasmine broke down her physical walls
Rapunzel followed her true mother's calls

Belle looked beyond, and broke a societal cord
Tiana built everything to fit her own world
Pocahantas listened to her heart and went to explore
Jane grew up knowing that she always wanted more

Tinker Belle used her knowledge and flew
Elsa let it all go when offered a final cue
Giselle lived naively, until she saw clearly
Esmerelda, though hunted, lived fearlessly

These characters may not have existed at all beyond the page
But to girls wanting to be brave, they have set the stage

FORK

Days like today I want to use all of my words at once
Excluding the one that rhymes with baseball bunts
I want to scream to the world and on every website
How everyone can line up and out of me take a bite

I feel like a prickly cactus and every sense of the simile
There is no cure some days - so just let my attitude be
I can even be a dog on a leash, think just like a girl
Step into my mind right then, I'll make your hair curl

I'll even say that word that is a metaphor what you step in
I know, I know, most of these words belong in the garbage bin
But on days like today, at this moment as I write
My rude word list is as long as the tail of a kite

Occasionally I'll resort to the f word, don't think of a fork
Fortunately I've got a bottle stopper on myself, a type of cork
It's simple really, a muzzle on my cussing, trash talking mind
If you swear like me, well, I swear I like your kind

Once in a while it's healthy to just let every word in your head go
Just remember who is around listening, or you'll hit a new low

Nosy

I don't think how you realize 
When you look with prying eyes 
And try to find the lies 
Or try to make me rise 
A little bit of me dies 
The rest of me just sighs 
Your questions are like flies 
Always buzzing in my eyes 

I don't think you realize 
That around you there's a disguise 
I pretend I only have highs 
Everything rosy with pies 
But I question you with whys 
As if you want me to be a prize
My head cannot hold the size 
Of you trying to be wise 

I don't think you realize
How I don't like what you advise
Can you hear yourself chastise? 
Or is this actually a surprise 
On how I can improvise 
These words I truly despise 
Can you hear my hidden cries 
This plea does not need a reprise
