Free

So this is how it feels to be free
My feet are on the ground
Yet I feel like I’m soaring
Like I’ve slipped from the fetters
Attached to my ankles
And I’m soaring above it all
Embraced by the light blue sky

The burden on my shoulders and heart
Partially self-imposed
Partially placed by others
Has suddenly been removed
And it feels like I can break the laws of gravity
So I throw caution to the wind
And let myself be swept up and away

I’ve heard that anything worth having
Is worth fighting for
And there will more fights in the future
But for now, I relax and enjoy
Brushing aside fears and concerns
Letting the wave of freedom
Sweep over me and cleanse my soul

When I return to the ground
And gather my senses
I’ll return to the fight
So that others can feel this way too
Because once you’ve felt this way
You will suddenly realize that
You never want to go back.

What’s In A Name


You turn and you ask me
“So what’s in a name?”
Not important to you
So it is just a game

So easy to say
When you are the one
Who fits in “just right”
For you the game is done

The names that are given
For you they are right
Together they show progression
With no confusion in sight

You start with a girlfriend
Moving forward through life
Next step is fiancé
And then she’s your wife.

For me it’s quite different
I can’t be the same
I have different choices
To make in this “game”

I start with a boyfriend
This step is just like you
We can agree on this
No matter your view

My relationship may progress
But we can’t marry
So what happens now
Well, the choices will vary

We decide to commit
Is he my fiancé?
Well, since we can’t marry
“no” is what some will say

So is he my “lover”
Well, yes, that is true
But sex is just one part
Of all that we do

Don’t call him my “partner”
Too business-like for me
We’re not running a company
We’re a couple, you see

My husband or spouse?
Not according to law
Your relationship is quite simple
For me, there’s a flaw

Significant other
Is bandied about
But who really uses this
For me this one is out

There’s no simple way
For me to play this game
And why it’s so important
To know what’s in a name.

Twinkle


My mind comes back from outer space
Look to my left I see your face
And while I glimpse what do I spy?
There is a twinkle In your eye

I turn my head, I look away
The twinkle reveals what you won’t say
Your devilish side is pushing through
And now I wonder just what you’ll do

I will not move, nor turn my back
If I do that you may attack
To keep my cool is becoming hard
I seem unfazed but I’m on guard

I glance again like I don’t care
I see that twinkle, it’s still there
I’m remaining calm, but you’ll burst that bubble
That twinkle there, only means trouble

Suddenly you stand and walk away
Without a single word to say
I wonder now if I was mistaken
And why I let myself get shaken

And then it happens, and I’m a wreck
Your super-chilled hands upon my neck
Ice cold water you just drank
And then decided to pull your prank

You hear me shriek and you feel proud
And then I hear you laugh out loud
And while I was “got” there was no real surprise
Your plans were revealed by the twinkle in your eyes

Just a little thing I thought of recently; could be related to RPS, BBM fic, AU, etc.  It's so sad , but I just couldn't help thinking of the boys ...

                          I shall not fail to meet thee in that hollow vale".

(Maybe I'm just in a Poe-like mood today; I get that way sometimes re Hawthorne too.  Just had to post it).
