Excerpts from Girl in the Stars

Getting Away With Love

I had a dream or two

Both of them about

You

I had some thoughts

Some visions

No need to say

Who’s in them

Oh how I long to be

Just as I was before

On the carousel of love

With the horse that I adore

They think that I’m just fine

But nothing’s as it seems

They do not know a thing

Visions, thoughts

And dreams

Other Fish

Even in my darkest hour

I never let the light shine in

Because giving up on ending

Meant that I’d have to begin

No one can take the place of him

I thought

That must be true

But when I finally went outside

I found a better you  

Fancy That

In a moment - in the clear

I am with you - I am there

We see embers – burn with tunes

We take slumbers – yearn like moon

Sit in stillness – then take flight

Sideways day that feels like night

Silky skin to match my ways

Desired suds to match his gaze

Flavoring moments – take our time

Urgency then steals your line

We are gone – we are away

Shades to pull up – not today
