My Sweetest Memories
I see you in my mind,
such beautiful visions
in shades of lavender.
The smell of honeysuckle
fills the evening air;
lightening bugs fly by and
the sky is filled with stars
so bright that I can see
everything around me.
Far off, I hear the coming train
and I remember where I am,
I am home again...
In sweet surrender I remain
perfectly still hoping to
retain the memory for
just a few more moments..
As my eyes already fill with tears
I already know
in that brief moment of realization
I awakened... reluctantly,
only to put the memory back
to its secret place...
I now await it's return... longingly.
And I am always hoping
that the next time... I forget
where I am long enough
to see your face
and feel again
your warm embrace.
In my heart,
I will always hold on tight...
to my home...and you...
my sweetest memories.
Sam
In dedication to my mom and dad.

a life without silence
solitude in the stilness of exploding noise
where is my center
i fall off the cliff
if not for the moments
when in darkness or lightness of being
i keep my soul calm. fading into light.

From my heart
I give you
all that
I am...
Though at times
that seems far
too little
for you...
Just as it
seems too little
for me
to me...

I could spend the rest of my days
just loving you...
I could write you beautiful words
of simple poetry...
But, I could never hold on to you
except in my dreams...
For some things just have to be free
in order to breathe...

You tore out my heart
left me longing.
And now,
I can't take it,
I can't fake it anymore.
I am lost without you,
walking around
like some foolish imbessile,
when all I want to do
is hide myself from view.
I'm lost without you.
Stuck in a world
I do not belong...
Going slowly out of my mind!
It is now beginning to show
and it makes me laugh
when people ask, "What is wrong?"
It has been going on for so long
I thought I was truly invisible...
Now that I'm losing my mind
they want to offer me a helping hand?
They just don't understand....
I'm lost without you.
Nothing to do, and way too much
time on my hands

So.....Now you want to start again.
Another year has gone by...
Anoher long, lonely year
of wanting, longing, needing,
and nobody to hold on too.
I am afraid to return your call.
Afraid I will slip and fall right back
out of control,
then you will be gone
and I will once again
be left here, alone.
I can't do it again.
I can't take it....
The door is closed
just like before
and I do not hear
you knocking anymore.
Sam

"Mama, please!!
Don't let this man hurt me.
I'm begging you...please..."
"Don't you worry.
Don't you worry.
Things will work out
just like they are
supposed to be."
"Mama! Please!
I'm begging you, please....
Don't let this man hurt me...
He breaks my heart,
makes me weak in the knees.
I can't take it,
I can't shake it.
I can't fake it, anymore...
Mama, tell him I am gone.
I don't live here anymore."
(Door bell rings)
And...she runs for the door
and falls into his arms,
with tears in her eyes
and her heart overflowing..
with something unknown..
Could this be love?
Would this be love?
Will this man love this girl
til the day he dies?
Only Mama knows....
Only Mama knows....
as she slowly closes the door
and wipes the tears
from her own eyes...
silently praying
everything will work out right...
Smiling to herself
deep into the night,
and remembering
those feelings she once had
in another place and another time...

He is very tall and when he knocks on my door, I know it is him standing there. When he smiles, he takes my breath away, and yet, I am helpless... It is hopeless. He is lost in some world that I can not enter, and he can not escape. Leave it to me to pick from the tree the one piece of forbidden fruit, forever lost to me, standing before me but far, far away.

I'm not saying I love you,
I'm not saying it's right...
All I am saying
is sometimes
even I
need someone
to hold on too
deep in the night.
Someone
asking no questions,
expecting no answers,
to something
we don't need to understand.
Someone
strong and secure
in himself,
Simply...a man.
Someone
to make me smile
when I wake in the morning
and tell me everything
is going to be alright....

[soft, teary smile]
I heard that, Sammy...
From my heart, I am broken...
Help...I'm falling down a well of depression...
On top of being sicker than a drunken Hessian...
Not long enough in the arms of love did last my session...
Throw me a lifeline, make me laugh like a loon...
Cause these days I can't giggle...
This hurts worse than being hit
by five riding quirts...
David and I,
wanted what we wanted...
And now we are two puddles of pain and hurt...
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

How does the old saying go....
"Don't be sad because it has ended,
be happy because it began..."
Life and relationships are too complicated,
that is why I have decided to remain a frigid bitch. ha (Got you!!!)
It hurts to be in love. Another one!!! (Damn, will she ever stop?)
My ex has been calling me again, but I have just let the phone ring. I think it is better for me than to hear his drunken promises and declarations of love.... (Right on, sista)
Love you,
Sam

I do not understand love.
And I don't believe I ever did, or will.....
There is something so mysterious,
and magical about love...
it makes me dizzy... everytime
I even begin to try to comprehend...
So...I remain a stranger,
outside, just looking in....
And even from here..
I sense the danger
of too many broken hearts
that just won't mend.
Too many broken spirits,
just like mine,
afraid to even try to love again.

(Right on, sista) Love you, Sam Ah, Sammy...You could never be a frigid bitch...You could be frigid and you could be a bitch, but, never a frigid bitch...ggglgggl... Angling to make you grin, my dear old friend...And I don't mean old, as in chronological years...I mean old, as in having metaphorically wiped these eyes of mine often of tears in the past four years... Tell Boulderdash, I'm about to unleash the Comanche in me and scalp his a** if he doesn't leave my galpal alone...And me, I'm close enough to do it for you...And I'll do it for free, for you, Sammy...You just gotta give me gas money...LOL... Please...Please...Lemme do it...Gimme the go ahead... ggglgggl...Do I sound bloodthirsty, enough? Love you, too, soul sistah...I have to go rummage through my closet for my tomahawk so I can make old Boulderdash squawk like a chicken while I'm divesting him of his hair... In reality, I have to get dressed to take Ivy to her friend's house for a sleepover birthday party...What's up with that? I work til my back feels broken in two and she gets to party all the time...Party allll the time...My girl wants to party all the time...Party all the time...Paaaaaarty all the time...Remember that goofy old Eddie Murphy song from what, the late 80's? Well, I've left a nice visual of me scalping Boulderdash...My work here, is done...hehehehehehehehehehehhehehe...  |

Today I am walking around
with my heart on the outside
of my chest...
I guess this is an anniversary
of sorts....
30 years ago today
I lost my mother...
I know it may sound odd
but these tears
I shed today
hurt just as badly
as the ones I shed
when the wound
was fresh
and the pain-raw.
It only helps me know
that love does indeed
go on forever
and through my thoughts today
she is with me in spirit.
I will hold my head up
and my shoulders back...
It is a beautiful day.
The sun is shining and
the wind is blowing gently.
The fruit trees are in bloom.
The birds are churping
and new life is abundant.
My daughter brought me flowers just yesterday.
I love you Mom.

I have a new love in my life.
Ava has woven her way
right into my heart now.
Big almond eyes that look
right into your soul....
Watchful, hopeful, trusting.
She wraps her arms around me
and spreads her little fingers
through my hair..ever so gently...
It is like a soothing balm...
She gives the most wonderful kisses
and blows bubbles on my arm now...
How can ones heart hold so much love?
Another of God's mysteries.....
Yesterday, I held her in my arms
and she smiled and laughed so contentedly...
Kiefer climbed up beside her
and grabbed my head with his little hands
and kissed me on both sides of my face...
She was so excited to be so close to him.
I was in another world.....fulfilled.

Don't You Know How Much I Love You--Ronnie Milsap
Why must you disappear
Why must you go when I need you here with me.
Don't you know how much I love you?
And why must you say goodbye
Once you saved my life
Now you're leaving me here to die
Girl, don't you know how much I love you?
You give me just enough to keep me hoping
Enough to make me forget the promises you've broken.
Oh, why must you come around just to pick me up
So you can watch me hit the ground
Don't you know how much I love you?
Don't you know, oh
Don't you know, oh
Don't you know, oh
Don't you know.
Don't you know.
Don't you know how much I love you?
You give me just enough to keep me hoping
Enough to make me forget the promises you've broken.
Oh, tell me how long must this go on?
I'm so far gone, I'm on my knees now baby.
Don't you know how much I love you?
Don't you know how much I love you?
Don't you know how much I love you?
Don't you know, oh
Don't you know, oh
Don't you know, oh
Don't you know.
Don't you know.
Don't you know how much I love you?

I barely remember copying the lyrics above down. I had nothing to write about love. ha I still don't, really, but I am doing so much better now. I finally got a little car and I am mobile!!  Work is the same for me.  Life goes on... Babies are growing and still people are constantly surprising me... Much love, Sam |

Mom,
Can you hear me
from so far away?
Are you with me now
on this, your special day?
There is so much
I wish to say to you...
but the words just
get in the way...
Let me just say
with arms opened wide,
I love you so much,
and Happy Birthday.
For my Mother

I look out my window
at a campus filled with people...
I don't know about you,
but, I do...wonder...
if someone out there
is lonely, just like me...
wondering, just like me,
waiting just like me...
to see
who comes to the window?
