About Me

**CHECK THE INSPIRATION SECTION DAILY FOR NEW POETRY** I am a 37 year old Poetess and a Mama of 3 beautiful children. I've lived a life that is filled with triumphs and losses...joy and pain...and lessons have been learned along the way. I embrace every moment to live and love... laugh and learn...and I write about it along the way. Where paper meets pen...the inner me purges into stanzas of beautiful poetry.

My Interests

I write in so many different genres of poetry... the spectrum is so broad... from socio-political to passionate eroticism. Not everything will appeal to the spirit and the minds of everybody...but there is something for each who choose to read.

I'd like to meet:

Between each heartbeat lies a gentle whisper... mysterious meanderings of a soul in need of intervention. Pondering the possibility that just maybe there is a need to connect. A requirement for a bond much greater than that of friend to friend. Ties that bring two beings much closer than merely a sexual connection of lust.Betray my disbelief in the entity of love in it's purest form... for I fear that it has become extinct within this conceptual being I have become. All to often my mouth speaks words which flow from the mind of the analytical speaker... no longer mouthing beautiful sonnets that flower from the enamored soul of one who is in love.Even when words of tenderness leave my body...they float in the air... hanging there...wishing for a destination to call home... within the heart of their intended. Homeless emotions left to suffer the atmospheric conditions of our foul and stank society. Where they are neglected and walked upon by the passers by who just simply don't give a damn... because they don't even know I exist... let alone my vagabond heart.So often I have had love redefined for me...only to see that this one didn't know what the fuck he was talking about anymore than the last one... So I...retreat to my ink and quill... where my dreams and fantasies become reality upon crinkled paper... where lines of emotions erupt... and words are scribbled out and rewritten with a word that fits better... makes the poetry more...pretty. Because after all... love is supposed to be pretty... is it not?And when I look at the finished product... I find the perfect picture of love... indentations where frustration caused the pen to dig deeper into the parchment...a few smudges... and even a spot where a tear has dropped... and blurred the ink a bit. Yet in all the mass confusion and the agitation of the process of formulating true love...the essence is captured...an undeniable bond between the core of two beautiful souls that cannot be broken... one that is strengthened and redefined by every stroke of the pen...or caress of flesh...by every drop of ink...or tear that falls. Two spirits treasuring each moment they have when they can inhale the breath that which the other exhaled...yes... Love is indeed poetically beautiful.And still I wait... for the one who will hear the gentle whispers between each beat of my longing heart...and answer his call to fulfill destiny in an era of infinity... endlessly wanting me... needing me... and unconditionally loving me.
