191: Addiction

Love charges around my circuitry making connections like never before.
Endorphins have me skipping from crest to crest as if these great ocean waves were solid.

All fear gone, I dance with abandon, joyfully expressing my soul.
Dipping down into the trough I throw handfuls of blackened water to the sky and laugh as droplets shimmer when exposed to light.

Withholding nothing, I revel in the freedom of feeling all.

Diving into the water feeds my hunger to know myself through new experiences.
Pushing down I reach the quiet depths where a broken vessel teaming with life and colour is a wreck no more; claimed by the ocean, re-purposed and made beautiful again.

163: Free-Thinking Lady

Tea-drinking lady
Free-thinking lady
This is who I am.

Rhyming lady
Good-timing lady
Don’t give a damn.

I have a job and commitments
Children I love
But I’m more than a worker, a mother
Or any other label you care to shove.

Passionate lady
Satellite lady
Set me free and watch me orbit.

Experimental lady
Non-judgemental lady
Come with me it will be worth it.

I expect life to be fun
And I’m going to make it happen
Grab your dreams and we will run
To the stars and see what’s out there.

Leading lady
Teasing lady
So much more I want to do.

Excited lady
United lady
All I need is who.

41: Being Me

Apparently I’m not mainstream,
She said with a laugh and a wicked gleam!
Well what the hell, does that mean?

Yes, I know. I don’t follow the crowd;
and of that I’m really proud;
I never wanted to bow down.

So if you meant, my pride to insult,
your words have fallen woefully short.
Thank you, darling! I like your thought!

I’ll wear it like a badge of honour,
I’m true to myself, in my behaviour,
I like who I am. I couldn’t be happier!
