All because I believed I could,
I flew far beyond my wildest dreams,
And conquered a world I’d once feared.
All because I believed I could,
I pushed myself far beyond my limits,
And paved a way for me to
Exceed far beyond my imagination.
I believed I could,
And I did.
His eyes were the fire that ignited my soul.
Swept me up past cloud nine,
And promised to never let me go.
It was so… so so freeing,
And he showed me the power
And magic of being loved with someone’s entire being.
It was bliss.
Of all the things I could be today,
I choose to be HAPPY,
And attract love my way.
Happy, happy.
Lord, I choose to be happy.

I can’t begin to express how glad I am to have finally have this work completed and out in the world. Volume two, After The Rain will be here before we know it.
Mini-Collection number 1 in my #Moods Series. To date, my moods have swung from high to low and back again in ways that I could only explain when putting my pen to paper. Tentatively, there will be four or five of these mini #Poetry collections, all to be released this year. Each expressing one set mood and leading into the next. I’ve learned that sometimes, the bad or sad moods linger a little longer to prepare us for the happier ones that last a lifetime. “Looks Like Rain” is the reflection of sad, the storm leading to the peace and sunshine. It will be available to order directly through me (via PayPal), with an option for a signed copy beginning May 25th, 2018. Unsigned copies will be made available for purchase directly through Amazon.com, with no third party sellers, on June 10th, 2018.
Wrap your wings around me,
Console my aching heart that’s pounding wildly,
Beating faster, and faster, as I sink back into the reality
That you’re only in my imagination.
Only in my imagination.
If I closed my eyes
and wished hard enough
maybe you’d be standing beside me
when I opened them again
Life would be much grander
if I could feel your loving embrace
to hear your voice etch itself in my memory
