“There She Was”

There she was burning like autumn fire.
I felt her soul and it sent shivers down my spine.
The heat radiated through me and sparked the strongest desire.
What is this feeling so divine?
I crave every essence of her being.
Her soft luxurious skin against mine.
Opening my eyes and finally seeing...
Why all the people of my past fell out of line.
Something has been awoken in me..
Sleeping for all these years.
I’ve searched for her wherever she would be..
Then I finally found her in the middle of a sea of tears!
I said , “take this skeleton key to my rusted lock!”
“Be the protector of this heart so torn!”
“Love me like the clock loves to just tick tock!”
“May my soul never again feel so worn!”

Skylar and the Book
It was an uneventful afternoon sitting by the hospital bed by my father, who was inevitably not going to be coming back home. My mother was sitting beside me weeping. The grim news that his transplanted kidney was septic came right before Halloween. My mother had a stroke before Thanksgiving the month before. Christmas was a complete uncertainty. Our family was truly on hard times. I was looking out the window of the rural single story hospital. In Texas, the winter weather doesn’t always feel like snowy fields and ice flurries, but more just dry and barren land and who knows what temperature. Especially in the “Hill Country” some call it here in central parts of Texas. Maybe it is just what some of my family and friends called it. I wanted to cry but I didn’t have any tears left. I felt a painful numb. To tell you the truth I’m not sure if the numbness was a blessing or a curse. On one hand I felt like I was too emotional at times and I needed to hold it together for my family. On the other hand I felt like not crying was a sign my heart was turning cold from a life of pain and suffering. Hardships were a familiar thing when it came to my life.
