Chiquitita
She stumbled upon the path as the tears tried to cleanse her heart. Nothing seemed to work. Her legs felt weak and her feet refused to take another step. She sat upon a log that had been pushed over my … Continue reading Chiquitita

Color of Love
While My Guitar Gently Weeps floats upon the summer air, drifting in from the open window. She looks to the left and sees her father humming along. “Daddy,” his little girl asked one day, “what color is love?” Being a thoughtful … Continue reading Color of Love
Life in Lyrics
I tip up my face to the water as if to cleanse more than my body. The drops fall on my face and follow the same path as my tears. In here, no one knows as I allow myself to … Continue reading Life in Lyrics
Patiently
One of my watercolor paintings….drying and waiting for next step, patiently. As a child I remember being told to not allow things to upset you that you cannot control. For instance, if it rains on a day you longed … Continue reading Patiently

Crescendos of Love
I’m in love with a pianist’s hands. He creates minuets across my skin, fingers sliding cadenzas along my spine. Pulling sonatas through my hair… across my shoulders, pianissimo. I’m breathless beneath his trills. Continue reading Crescendos of Love

He probably got so caught up writing a beautiful story or poem for me that he lost track of … Continue reading and She Waits…Come What May
All You Need is Love….is it?
One hand on the steering wheel, the other fumbling around with her playlist. Beatles. She hit shuffle. A smile crept across her face as the familiar tune streamed out of her speakers. “All you need is love…….all you need is love…..all you need is love….love….love is all you need” She begins tapping along with the beat and singing the words.

She finds herself back in the body of her 8 year old self who is sitting next to … Continue reading All You Need is Love….is it?
