Sinfully sweet Gritty beauty Lofty sensuality Vivid red Tinged pink Smeared graffiti Across her lips Succulent texture Taste of her kiss Superb quality Rushing need Delving deep Imprinting frenzy Dirty pretty Seducing Me
I want to scream Tears flowing Heart racing Watching as they are stolen Memories wiped clean
Faces of anger Locked away voices of grief Conflicting realities Desperately seeking relief Begging for clarity Hours Days Weeks To them It’s all the same thing Stripped of comprehending
The worst part of growing up They age too
Powerless
Nothing I can do As they slip further into the disease For one day soon It will completely erase me
Standing In front of them As A Stranger
They once knew
Their Daughter The gift of Parkinson’s, Dementia & alzheimers I hate you
Heartbreak Loss Beginnings Endings Love Happiness Chances Choices Learning Growing Writing along the way 2019 has broken me 2019 has inspired me Through it all Forever changed And I am Grateful
Twas the night before Christmas out in the country Everyone was sleeping Snoring can be heard all through the house My gun close by if I were to see a mouse
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care I hope this yummy chocolate candy wasn’t meant to go in there
Out in the hall I made a big clatter Gathering all the necessities for a little late night platter
It was a long drive here And a few cappuccinos has me wired up so sleep is not near
Visions of family time, gifts and snacks While trying to remain focused while driving Singing and dodging all the deer
Now that I think about it I could really go for a beer So out on the porch I sit listening to the sounds Staring at the stars Freezing my ass off even with all my layered winter gear
Pretty sure I hear a pig, or a coyote, maybe a deer But it’s totally normal in these types of towns
I wonder if there are any bears Gasp, OMG the chupacabra could also live here Well frick I hope not If I’m not seen in the morning I probably wandered off in search of the perfect lighting to capture photos of creatures near
The thing about the silence Any and all noise definitely travels around I’m almost certain the rustle of my late night snacks have already awakened The 5 people that live in this town
