Long Time No See…

 

Hi everyone!

 

Yes I’m back.  I know I went AWOL for awhile but it was a combination of being in pain from dental things and being flat out with homework.

 

Things are still the same here…I’m still looking for my knight in shining armour to come and sweep me off my feet in his lambourghini contage or something else that is classy while dating a few mr right for me nows

 

School is super busy and I’m almost half way through my last semester for my entire Bachelor of Arts degree.  I never ever thought I would get this far and while it’s kind of gone quick it’s been a struggle.  Nevertheless despite the struggle I have been invited by the university to put in an application for an extra fourth year or Bachelor of Arts (Honours) as I have an above average grade point average (GPA).

 

I struggled with this decision as I had only began this degree with the hope of passing and doing the follow on teaching degree (Masters of  Teaching) so I could gain a secure but rewarding career.  I never ever thought I would be considered smart enough to be an honours student.  As I am a firm believer in opportunities being sent to us for a reason, I think I might take a gamble on the extra year and apply.

 

I will keep you posted (I promise) more regularly on if I actually go through with it.  Either way if my thesis proposal is not approved I don’t or won’t feel that I have failed.  The fact that I have completed a university degree at all is a marvel for me in itself .

 

My children are doing wonderfully, growing quickly and becoming adolescents.  My niece is doing well and is 8 weeks old, she is adorable!

 

I have also posted a new picture which should be at the top of this page and some poetry I have written (I signed my name at the bottom) which has evolved from a unit I”m doing called Writing Poetry.

 

I trust you are all well and look forward to seeing you soon.

 

Hugs n stuff!

The Thought of You…

 The Thought of You

The thought that holds alive your face and touch,

the effect of your body on my skin,

visions surface of hot kisses

all night – urgent, sensual, burning

as firm fingertips explore while trailing

discovering my skin so soft.

 

Discovering my skin so soft

My body rises to your touch,

Responding to fingers trailing,

Cool goose bumps run along my skin

Aching at your touch and burning

Where your lips cover with hot kisses.

 

The path you left of hot kisses,

Hard and hungry while light and soft,

Urging yearning also burning,

My body rises to your touch

Aching for your breath on my skin

Fingertips and lips still trailing.

 

Fingertips and lips still trailing

your body with air light kisses,

seductive, covering your skin,

my long hair is draping softly

tracing your body not my touch,

urging, yearning yet still burning.

 

My lips trace your flesh with burning

sensations, my fingers trailing

soft yet urging, wanting to touch

where those hot sensual kisses

have made your flesh blush, as your soft

flesh anticipates merging skin

 

Anticipating our warm skin

becoming one entwined, burning,

yielding together, our hot soft

bodies, fingertips still trailing

over our limbs with hot kisses,

clamouring for each others touch

 

skin over skin with fingertips trailing

still yearning, burning with kisses,

your lips soft yet burn with their touch

Love Is…

Love is…

 

Recalling memories of you that

Were locked in corners of yesterday

Watching the past in my mind,

Laughing

Dancing

Full of life.

Like waves that flow with the ebb and tide

And crystal streams meandering through rocky riverbeds

Like minuscule sea creatures which inhabit the rock pool of life, and

vast depths of the shimmering sea, immeasurable just like my love for you.

Like the silvery moon illuminating the midnight sky with

Shining stars blinking as guiding lights when

Darkness envelopes surrounding landscapes,

Just like my love envelopes you.

Like the dry, arid desert that lies silent and waiting with

Camouflaged dangers hiding among the sandy dunes,

The air charged with the anticipation of rain,

Charged like the love I feel for you.

Love is like the wonderment of nature with

Difficulties and dangers, both sublime yet surmountable

Conquered through the eternal love,

I give

from me

to you.

Creature of the Night…

Nightfall elongates its bony fingers across the blue sunlit sky

A dismal shadow races towards the horizon,

devouring the sun

while Nature is silenced until morning

 

The full moon rises as the darkness unfolds

The yard dog slumbers peacefully

While house lights flicker through the heavy drawn curtains

keeping out the cold air, unwelcome guests

 

Oh wise one, nocturnal creature of the night,

Silhouetted by the darkness watching from your tower of wood,

the world a silent velvet blanket,

Hoo-hoo! – are you the bearer of bad news, an omen or something good

 

Your large yellow eyes your only movement

blinking, searching the desolate nightscape

for a lone rabbit foraging for food

unaware of unforseen danger

 

Alert! Attentive! the unmistakeable sound of foraging

draws your attention to the ground below

brittle leaves scratch against bare branches

as you flap your wings and take flight into the deep abyss below

 

Downward!

Hoo-hoo!

Screeching!

Struggling!

 

The unsuspecting prey has lost its fight and

you take your post again on your old oak perch

waiting and watching

in the dark obscure night
