On bench beneath magnolia’s boughs
we overcame fatigue
sat closely, hands entwined like vows
commitment promising
…
Momentous this occasion proved
concreting years en coupled
no other have I ever loved
together, rapture doubled

Night
was not my friend
devoured peace
entangled
Night was when wicked came
with belt or beer-breath
void of shame
Night was when vile emerged
taunting, haunting
pushed to the verge
Night was when the options, poor
ran through my mind
dared me to unmoor
Night was when I’d pray to sleep
Eternally
Forever deep
Night
That was then
This is
Now
We are friends
Made peace somehow
I am free
Me

She has that unique quality.
You’ve seen it…
Up early in the morning; set to take on the world
Spring in her step, jiggle in her jog.
Fears nothing. Loves it all. Glides through the world, pure confidence.
How wondrous.

Phantom…
… Just a shadow
A wisp of my true self…
~
That’s all I offer up the world to see.
~
Few espy
~ The depth
~ The truth
~ The soul
~ The breadth
~ Connection
~ Ruth
Comprising my complete identity.
~
But all it takes is open eyes
A pure heart
Aim, malice-free
For another to see
The beauty that is me ~
Spiritually
A woman of serenity
