Harsh Winter

The cold of winter

brings back memories

of the way it's much harsher

of sitting in front of a roaring fire, drinking hot chocolate and tea.
*
I don't want to venture out in it's coldness

to feel the way it has hold of us

I would rather stay inside

where it's cozy and warm like a beach so wide.
*
Winter can blow its blustery winds

I don't care - I'll sit at the Inns

in front of a warm fireplace

where the winds of winter cannot me displace.

Poetry

When I Dream

When I lay asleep

I think of you and me

all the fun times we had

I admit these dreams weren't bad.
*
I think of all the bad things said

God, sometimes I can't get them out of my head

I remember mostly the touches-the feels

those are images I want to be seeing.
*
Songs I can't get out of my head

songs about us that told it all

how we felt about what we had

it wasn't a mere tumble I took when you left, my love, but a mighty fall

And it hurt.

Giving Thanks

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I'd like to give thanks to those who are no longer with me, my Mom and Dad and other relatives who I remember and miss. Whose smiles always brightened my day no matter how gloomy it was. To my friend, Teri. Still love you babe. 

My Blog

I now have as of  11/19/12  496 views of my blog site and I want to say thank you all for taking the time to view it. I will try to get more posts in. And I'm not making any excuses here, LOL, but writing on my novel has been keeping me busy. Anyway, I'll keep posting and everyone keep viewing. Thank You All, Mark.

No End Of The World

I've been following this theory of what the Mayans said about their prophecy the world would end as of December 21 st of this year. I'm sorry but I'm like most people, I don't put stock into it. It may mean a change is coming, who knows, but it certainly doesn't mean the world will end. All these people saying that it may be true because of weather things that have happened this year or wars that have happened overseas. I don't believe it.

Sometimes I feel like I have been set adrift on the ocean, floating but not knowing where the waves will take me. That's how I feel sometimes, all alone out there. Sometimes it's peaceful and others it's lonely. I think about some of the people I would like to be enjoying this beautiful sunset and ocean voyage with, yet they are nowhere around. Yes sometimes I feel like I have been set adrift on the ocean, floating alone - just me.

I'm Glad The Political BS Is Over

I'm happy that the political backstabbing and name calling is over, now maybe this country of ours can get back to business as usual. I'm also happy that a President who at least recognizes the Gay community as being the same as the Straight was elected. The other candidate was all against it, so was his Vice President choice. I hope we can all work together to make this a decent country where we can all live the same, have the same Rights and Equality.
