My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • “The root cause of almost all people problems is the basic communication problem – people do not listen with empathy. They listen from within their autobiography. They lack the skill and attitude of empathy. They need approval; they lack courage.” When you listen, you transform a relationship by understanding another world view, thereby changing your own. _Principle-Centered Leadership_ by Stephen Covey

  • Have I told you too much?Have I asked too much?Have I expected too much? My mind spins in circlesWondering if I’ve ruined all that is goodCausing you to run away… How do I stop myself from thinking?How do I stop myself from worrying?How do I stop myself from hurting? My heart beats rapidlyThinking of you and how you might be feelingHoping you’ll not run away… -T~December 26, 2008

  • Getting to know you has been beyond wordsYou’re more than I wished forHow you make me feel seems almost absurd. As my breath catches at your touchAs my heart flutters at your smileMaking my mind stop from thinking too much. So little time has passed since we first went outYet through our friendship I feelI sort know what you’re about. What the future holds, I don’t knowBut I look forward to what may…

  • The other night I laid and stared at your faceThe other night I sighed a deep sigh in your embraceThe other night I found myself wanting to defineWhether or not I am yours and you are mine. Before this began, I was content to be aloneBefore this began, I was happy for friendship to be the toneBefore this began, I was satisfiedOr so I thought, or so I tried. Now, I think of you all day Now, I want you in every wayNow, I…

  • You said you would be willing to tryWhen it comes time to say good-bye. You said you wouldn’t share,Does it mean that you really care? You’ve told me of your familyAnd I find myself listening to you happily. You allow for quiet moments to lingerProviding me with peace as I fidget with a finger. You hold me close without a wordSo that in just a short time, a night without you seems absurd.…

  • It’s because we’re adopted that we are rushing to love rushing to be loved rushing to fit in rushing to be accepted rushing to be known rushing, rushing before it slips away like our mothers like our fathers like our native land like our native language It’s because we’re adopted that we long to be loved to be accepted and to be allowed to just slow down… -T ~December 10, 2008

  • Each day passes taking me further away Yet a part of me wants to stay Close by just to see What might be. A look in the eye Brings a smile and a sigh For it’s quite a treat To feel something so sweet. What is this feeling? Is it too soon to be dreaming? How will I know if this is right? Will it be worth a fight? When I go Will…

  • A soft whisper A gentle touch A sweet caress Is all that I desire. A pleasant conversation A sharing of hearts A feeling of trust Is all that I need. A step closer A heartbeat away A sigh of contentment Is all that I hope. I desire a subtle sweetness that encaptures passion. I need both a best friend and a lover to trust. I hope for open arms to complete the circle…

  • There’s a hole in my heart the shape of you.There’s a sadness in my eyes that match you.There’s a loneliness that fills my soul that is part of you. All my life I have tried to find the love you gave to me.All my life I have avoided my deep aching for you to know me.All my life I have been wondering what is wrong with me. Do I look like you?Do I…
