The wheel of fortune has spun our way,
we’re on Spring-break for 8 more days!

The transition to leisure was as smooth as oil,
without classes, he’s just a guy and I’m his girl.

For three weeks we’ll have had the suite to ourselves,
it has all the amenities, it’s like a hotel.

We’ve never been together, alone, for so long before,
it’s so deliciously heterodox, it’s like a reward.

Peter (my BF) observed, “This will be a reality check.”
Yeah, he’s a hopeless romantic.
“Sorry sir,” I said, “It's my policy not to cash reality checks.”
BLT Marriam Webster word of the day challenge: heterodox: contrary to to the norm

Bright the moon
And stars at night
Beams are born
Of Angels flight
Hush my dear
Sleep sound in peace
Tomorrow brings
Just what you need
So sail away
Ebb on the shore
When happily
Your heart explore
Treasured moments
Dreams unfold
Of riches more
Than silver or gold...

I wonder how many people I’ve hurt.

Heavenly Father, in this beautiful morning I am so thankful that You are able and often do make impossible situations possible.In this beautiful morning I like to ask for forgiveness for the seemingly limitless capacity I have to be foolish. Heavenly Father, please help us live our lives with loving intent, cultivating meaningful relationships with our families, friends, and even our brothers and sisters we’ll never engage in our lifetime. Heavenly Father please teach me in your wisdom,so that my life might be pleasing to You and a blessing to others around me....In Your name I am strong, fearless and blissful. In your name Jesus Christ, I’ll continue to pray… Amen!

A late February evening
A tree lined silhouette
On the far horizon
Against a sunset
Of burnished gold .

I feel the weight of nearly a hundred moons upon this suggestive flight deck, overtaken by transfusion in a high formation rhythmic way. Fluorescent headphones—neon red, rotate around neutral zones. Push in, pull out. Swim under the pink, towards some aerobatic link to mother earth. And still, we're not in orbit yet. Your dawning glow you blow into my lungs. Will you catch me if I blast away?

I'd much rather Critique
as I rein king when I put on that hat
As he lain before me is subject to my snarling
Picking his hair from my giblets and jams.

For to create
creates your own undoing
To look before oneself
and watch
as aristocrats
pluck pimples from your own potatoes.

A poet in Paradise
To all women...

Every woman is a living poem...
Every woman eyes are a sonnet...
Every woman smile is a ray of hope
Every woman heart  is a treasure....
Women should be celebrated every day..
Not just on Women's day...
Women have my respect and admiration...
Not just today...
But everyday....

============================
Deeper than an Ocean

A woman's heart is deeper than an ocean...
And as rich as the seven seas...
For it is an infinite supply of inspiration and feelings...
The real bounty is at the bottom of that ocean...
If you manage to get there...
You will have found the treasure of happiness...
Once you do that...
Don't let go of it...
It can be the treasure of your life...
Start by sailing on the universe of her eyes...
Until you reach the ocean of her heart..

================================
Two poems for the price of one...Dedicated to all women out there....

Love is like a long walk with someone.
Or just feel the rain from the window with just one hand out.
Maybe like the long mysterious pause in the rain with someone.
The sunrise in the winter mornings!
Or the first conversations, all night long.
Love is like a sudden crazy wind against your face.
Or staring at the night sky full of bright stars
A magical forehead kiss or even a sudden warm hug.
Seeing your children do silly things,
seeing your mom & dad grow old,
Even when leaving with so many happy memories to cherish for.
Love is what you cannot count on your fingertip.
So give love & take love whenever, wherever & whoever you get! Embrace it even if you don't get it all at once
Love is not about just two people , it's an emotion that we carry in our heart .

Come spring
extend your hand
caress  the waiting warming land
give us singing birds on green and leafy trees
swap gale for breeze
soft light and scented air
disperse our shivering winter cares
and bless each fertile blooming day
through April and then on to May
please stay
