Patti Wilburn Haney

I feel kinda adrift when I am not with you
Like a ship waiting to be back in port
The days like contrary tides
seem to conspire against me
...

Small and confined
she stays a prisoner to her dark place
Try as she may
she always ends up back at her dark place
...

My hard little shell
hides the tender meat inside
To the world a tough nut to crack
But on the inside, delicate-fragile
...

You don't have to thank me
For loving you
You make it easy
The open heart you show
...

The little girl so close to the end,
Halfway here, halfway there.
Cries for a mother who does not come,
Because she is busy.
...

Love is a purring kitten.
Soft and warm.
to be protected, cherished, ... nurtured.
...Held close..soft fur against your face.
...

We start off unshapen lumps of metal.
God like a skilled smith,
Hones us down.
Smoothing the rough edges.
...

Addiction is such a cruel thing
It takes over your whole life
Whatever your poison
It cuts to the core like a knife
...

Pure crystalline waves,
Your chill reminds me of carefree youth.
Lay with me in the vast expanse,
My snow angel.
...

She sits and smiles
A secret smile
Candlelight illuminating
...The gently upturned lips.
...

I've kissed a few frogs
Looking for the prince
I've wished on a star
Trying to make sense
...

Jupiter throw your
Mighty bolt in my direction
Venus your lady
Wants some affection
...

A steady rain falls
against the roof
Perfect cuddling weather
Oh how I wish my head was
...

I don't know what's
Wrong with me
I am totally immersed in you
I don't know what's
...

Father grant us the ability to put our destiny in your hands.
Watch over those we love and keep them safe from harm.
Give us the wisdom and compassion to look at situations for what they are...not what others believe them to be.
...Give us the ability to hold onto hope when all seems lost.
...

Can we run through the field like children?
Two adults playing tag.
Can we find a stream like children?
...Skip stones to see how far far is.
...

I want a moonlight tan...
Silver beams enveloping me so...
I want to feel the night air on my skin...
...Soft breeze caressing me feeling my hair flow...
...

Somewhere along the way she ceased to be...
She became we & we became three...
He & She tried some more & then three became four...
...Life was rough but still they tried & four almost became five...
...

Body aligned
Strong breath
Fills me
Twist-turn
...

Spring wind upon her skin,
Sunlight on her face,
Warmed by glowing rays,
Rolling through fields of senses,
...
