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
