A Perfect Life
There is no perfect life
Only perfect intentions
But life hands us choices
and then throws us crosswinds
Have they thrown us off track
Society tells us what a perfect life is
The perfect family, the proper house
the best car, the right schools
the correct weight, the perfect face
But does conforming make us happy?
I love recommendations as much as the next person but….
I don’t let them rule me
I will be the queen of my destiny
with many advisors but no rulers
My winds have blown me
on so many adventures and
though they may not be labeled “perfect”
They were works of art that
spoke to my mind and heart
and therefore perfect to me!
What is it I Want
There are always stories of that
Perfect soul mate
The so called person who completes us
We all want a friend and a lover
Even me
I believe in soul mates
but not the way they always claim
I’m not looking for a perfect person
that person doesn’t exist
Everyone has been through hardship
and suffered loss, had to adjust
Everyone
What I need is a friend
someone I trust implicitly
So I can open up sexually
And he can do the same
Totally
I need that friend to understand
My need to explore and adventure
just as much as the need to be home
to make a cacoon and have sex
I’m a dichotomy
I’m willing to compromise
But I need to be understood
and talk so I can understand too
For me, it’s the balance of life
adventure vs love of home
My life goals
Waking up
11/9/24
The tenderest of moments
You’re standing right next to me
Touching arm to arm
And you reach over and
gently kiss my lips
The simplest touch
Filled with tenderness
And that’s where I wake up
I tried to go back to sleep
Just to spend more time
But sleep was out of reach
But even as I make my way
Through the day,
I still feel your lips on mine
The imprint from a beautiful dream
That I wish I didn’t have to
Wake up from
Looking for Beauty
11/9/24
Every single morning
every new sunrise
I start my days looking for
The simple beauty in this life
Every morning is different
Cloud forming, sun shining
lighting angles, waves rolling
It might be the same place
but the views are slightly different
And at the end of the day
I look for the brilliance of the sunset
No matter how hard the day was
Or how tired I’ve become
With life’s insecurities
The way the sun shines brighter
right before it sets reminds me
That Life is beautifuleven when it’s hard
We can plan and work for so much
but always take the time to
take in the view
whether it’s the sunrise at ocean tide
or the sunset from mountain top
or just the view of the road home
Remember you don’t fail
unless you give up and walk away
just get up early and
look for the beauty you seek
you will find a way to get there
and you’ll find just what you need.
