50,097 words makes me a: 




It was grueling, but strangely gratifying...in a nerdy kind of way.

I look forward to catching up with everyone next month!

This is my first year participating and I am pleased with my chances of finishing this thing.  With a week to go I'm at the 33,500 word mark with every intention of hitting 36K by bedtime tonight.

I'm rounding the corner...ready to bring it on home!

Yay me!

Obama...44th President....HELLS YEAH!!!

Otherwise...doing the Nanowrimo thing.

See you in December!

 

I am cold

And the moon beckons

The blues melt into the velvet of the sky

I welcome the embrace

Night on my skin

A soothing touch

I taste the light of the stars

It reminds me of home

My Beloved

I feel the indelible mark

Of You

He will never know

My eyes instinctively roam the room
Scanning for him
Something trips my brain
Something familiar
That dark hair
That stance
At last, those dark eyes
We find each other
We always do
A nanosecond less, and it would mean nothing
But there is something

Look away
I don't notice him
I can pretend
And he can pretend 
And so our dance begins

I don't find those lips alluring
And the conversation is engaging
But I hear nothing 
Only my excited heart
Beating savagely in my ears
I rely on visual clues to know when to speak
Now laugh

My heart will break if he leaves 
He will be disappointed when I go
This scorchingly cold feeling
Breathing is strangely shallow
I want him to stay here 
In this room with me

But he will never know    

 

I like me
For better or worse
I am what I am
Years have gone by and it took some time
But I like me

You can say what you want
To Hell with you
If you can't see
The glow inside of me
Yes, it has taken some time
But I like me

When you see me smile
To myself
And you stop to wonder why
Just know that I'm at peace
And my dreams are mine
It's not your damn business
Why I look to the sky

Yes, It has taken some time
But I like me

I am

I am!

I am me.

What is it about a man’s voice?
Singing softly
Singing boldly
Urging
Willing you to come to him…to be his, for now or forever?

What is it that stirs the soul of a woman, and makes her want to surrender herself?

To let go and fall, fall, fall
Into the swirling
Warm heat of love
Desire
And reckless submission?

When he tells you that you’re the one
He’s been waiting all his life
In his arms you’ll always belong
Every musical
Romantic
Sugary sweet sentiment you’ve ever heard
Spun a million ways

You’ve heard it all before

Why do we believe? We need to believe.

Hush

Don’t say a word

Let me love you
Smell you
Drink you
Take in everything you are
Let me absorb the affects that your presence brings to elements surrounding you
Let me give you all I have…everything that you need
And take you to within inches of the limit of mortal ecstasy

Now!

Illusions
Dreams
Fleeting moments

Don’t break the spell

Inevitable
Unsustainable
Pure Passion
