I Let You Down
Current mood:  restless
Category: Writing and Poetry
I Let You Down
I stood by and watched you struggle
Not speaking up to defend your pride
Standing back in the shadows
Instead of there by your side
My words were silent, yes muted
Not having the nerve to oppose
Meekly shying away not refuted
Being timid and shy in repose
Failing to fight like the lion
Howling my contempt like the wolf
Never shielding you like the tiger
Pacing and stalking toward my foe
No, I hid my devotion and guarding
Silenced and intimidated by many
Denied my maternal protecting
Not voicing my thoughts, though plenty
Regrets sometimes threaten to drown me
Voices shout at me reprising my fears
Standing here listening blindly
Wiping away useless tears
Thundering loud within the silence
Accusations, ridiculing self-imposed
Forgiveness is but a dalliance
If it ever happens, nobody knows

KARE for KAZZIE Campaign
Current mood:  hopeful
Category: Friends
This is a picture of Kazzie on her most recent birthday.
Hello Friends,
As you all probably know by now, our dear friend Kazzie has been struggling with health issues and is in dire straits-not only physically but financially. Her husband Steve has been working tirelessly to work full-time and drives 5 hours one way to his job.
Being as Kazzie and Steve are very private people, they do not have any intimate friends in their close proximity. Their daughter Nicole and her husband are close, but can only be there to help Kazzie during the early mornings and late evenings.
Kazzie and Steve have also recently lost the lease on their home and have not found a new place to live yet and have little money to pay rent due to the cost of Kazzie's medical treatment. When they find a new place to live, having the money to pay for it is a major concern as the living conditions in Australia are extremely expensive.
During discussions about this, Connie and I have repeatedly questioned what we could do to help them out. You all know how wonderful Kazzie is and what an absolutely huge heart she has. She is one of the most loving, committed, tenacious and wonderful people I have ever had the honor of knowing. Kazzie has now agreed to let Connie and me help her. And I want to take her up on it!!!!
So, I am asking you all from the bottom of my heart to please JOIN ME NOW in helping Kazzie and Steve by sending a donation to a PayPal account that I have set up. I have set it up in a way that when you donate I can forward the funds internationally straight to Kazzie and Steve. In no way are any of the funds going to be used for personal use or administrative "fees". I am going to personally cover any processing fees, transfer fees or miscellaneous fees of PayPal so that your complete donation gets to Kazzie. I have begun the donating by adding $100 to her account and I look forward to hearing from you too!
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE friends because Kazzie and Steve have only three weeks to find a new home and they are still trying to pay for day to day needs as well. If you have any questions, please send me a message and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge or find you the answer. Please send what you are comfortable with. Do not think that you have to donate huge amounts and deprive yourself of your basic needs. But if you are able to send more, it would be greatly appreciated. Kazzie has given so much through her friendship, compassion, love and through founding the SCREAM Calendar project. That project has been continued through the gracious leadership of Connie A. and Wayne W. Thank you so much Connie and Wayne!
Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart for reaching out to Kazzie. Please continue to send your prayers as well, they are so deeply needed. Kazzie is a fighter and we should be too! Let's reach out to her in every way that we can and show her that we love her. May God bless each of you richly for taking the time to help our Kazzie and her family. *hugs* Here is the link to the PayPal account accepting donations.
My second request for all of you is that you please spread the word to those that you know are friends of Kazzie's but may not be on my friends list. Please ask them to stop by and donate as well. God love y'all!! NOTE**** To anyone not on my friend list. You CAN donate to the PayPal account but you have to CREATE an acccount in your name with your payment info. This is very secure and I have used PayPal for YEARS. Make sure you see the little padlock on the page to make sure it is in secure mode. Create your account, and then donate whatever amount you want to give. I have verified the activity of the donate button so I know it works. If you have any problems, please contact me, Connie, or Marcia and let us know what is happening when you try to donate. Thank you so much!!!

Golden Chains
Current mood:  romantic
Category: Writing and Poetry
Golden Chains
Succulent lips meet in fiery desire
Delectable breast offered freely
Gliding fingertips stroke curvaceous hips
Arms outstretched in fantasy flight
Sensual steps moving in perfect sync
Consumed by wondrous delight
Soft sighs speaking volumes
Sharing a chapter in story's verse
Unspoken is the given script
Responded to in kind as you
Evoke smoldering touches
Glances of passionate romance
Ascending the staircase to gather
Moon and stars in galaxy's night
Shooting beneath meteor's radiance
Sailing over onyx seas to meet
Dreams satisfying heart's cherished pain
Anguish so sweetly imprisoning me
Stepping off the precipice of ecstasy
Encompassed by an aura of golden chains
Shackled by love's iron grasp
Lost within the cerulean seas
Adrift within a tumultuous storm
Never fearing gales and lightning's flash
Welcoming the roar of thunder's report in
Our sighs of passion's throes
Floating upon a gossamer wing as tides of
Emotions recline in red rose's velvety touch
Light rains of afterthoughts quintessence
Time standing motionless on the inside as
World's evolution rambles by out beyond

Rewind Me
Current mood:  quiet
Category: Writing and Poetry
Rewind Me
Uncry my tears
Unfall the rain
Undo the years
That caused so much pain
Untell the lies
Take back the hate
Cancel alibis
Changes can't wait
Unbreak my heart
Detain the day
Now do your part
Make it that way
Go back in time
Unsteal the looks
Be again mine
Remove these steel hooks
Forgetting the cheats
Take away the scars
Not allowing repeats
You've gone too far
