Relationship Advice & Experiences

Besides writing poetry, I share my relationship tips and experiences on other sites.  You might find some of my writings useful.  One site you might want to check out if you have your share of relationship challenges is Laboring to Love an Abusive Mate.  Although the title is dedicated to those in abusive relationships, there are some articles on the site that will help with some relationship concerns before they turn into abuse.  You can also order a copy of my poetry book about my abusive experience on Amazon.com.

Love Me

Allow me to rest easy in your arms,
say soft words and decorate me with charms.

Love me like no other.
Respect me like you do your mother.

Be my best friend,
until the very end.

There aren't many of you left.
You are the best secret kept.

Some tell me I'm lucky to have you.
That's why I do all that I can do.

But sometimes you forget,
just how we first met.

There was no real connection.
Our flesh wasn't yet under subjection.

So we didn't really try.
We just gave it all up for a lie.

Sometimes we have to review the past,
in order to make love last.

Sometimes we have to realize the truth.
Go back to the book of Ruth.

For you were my Boaz,
and I was your Ruth.

It was like a business meeting,
just with limited seating.

Ruth needed security,
Boaz wasn't looking for an enemy.

Both allowed one another in,
both knew the consequences of sin.

He took care of her,
wrapped her up like fur.

Now I want that too.
Want to know that you will be true.

There is a sun in our life.
Takes away all the stress and strife.

Need to know that you are on my team.
Need to know that you are all that you seem.

So make me permanent in your life.
Make this thing exclusive, make me your wife.

Love Muse

Saw you the other day,
my perfect muse.
Never hurt me with unkind words,
touched me,
or lusted for me.
Don't know if you ever thought of me beyond a simple conversation.
 
So glad to have been in your presence for a time.
You warmed my heart.
Gave me peace of mind, but for a second.
A simple gift of music and I welcomed it.

Listened to your voice and I knew you were special.
My blue sky,
my sun.
Never rainy.
No storm clouds
above my head.

No worries about, "What if..."
No drama about, "Who is that?"
No pain caused from lying.

It was all so very simple back then,
a look, a smile.

It's because of you,
my muse,
a bridge that helps me love again.
