the heart is such a wasteland

The first sip of my morning coffee is always such a surprise.  Sometimes it tastes like shit no matter how
wonderful the brewing scent of French roast mixed with a little amoretto or hazelnut.  I had considered it
must be mercury in retrograde, or the way I slept in my bed.  Even if there is only one side I ever use to go
on or off.   And it is definitely as comfortable as any feathered nest, if I were a bird, that is.  Thick
down comforter, and heavy faux fur cover.  My bedroom is rich in textures, irridescent brown taffeta, silk,
and pearl accents throughout.  Wedgewood blue accent wall. 

I like the sound of rain best when it hits  the roof vents, a sort of humming sound and there's nothing like the
icy snow against my window.  I've awakened to many a sunrise streaming in like a lover's touch against my
cheek.  But winter nights are long and my body doesn't need that much sleep. 

I don't need much of anything except someone's arms to cradle me, gently.

’ T is the rhythm of

' T is the rhythm of natures's chatter; Her pitter-patter of the matters of the heart Whispered as a lullaby For those that love love deeply; This rain , soft, that soothly croons. This meeting. Shall thee bequeath a heart through a hand raised in charitable greetings?- More so... I dream- What is perfection But my dream walking? A sauntering sachet Taking breath, heart and mind- A beckoning; And a soul in solitude wakening- And I walk through a moment called eons.

The heart is such a wasteland

Anna This is a beautiful Oh! what visions you create snuggled down under your comforter trying to make the decisions whether to move or not. Have you read my poem Coffee and a Smoke? I love being in the rain and listening to the melody it creates - natures orchestra. But to share the listening with someone special is great too. Sun hits my crystals sending rainbows around my room - for me to wish upon But most of all is to awake in the embrace of my love and see the smile on his face is all I ask - forever. Electric Blue
