In My Dreams

 

In My DreamsBy Annette CampJuly 1, 2023
Last night, Isaw you inmy dreams.
It occurred in mymind involuntarilyas I slept.
A vivid narrativethat you activelyparticipated in.
Now, as I write,the content of itslowly fades.
What I heard,touched,smelled,and tastedthrough mysenses - gone!
But the ideas,thoughts andfeelings...
Clear as day.I knew it wasyou there.
Not just images,but emotionsand sensations.
Ever since, I'vebeen as happy asthe day is long.

Relationship buildinghelps me growas a person.
Each relationshipis like a piece of mylife's kaleidoscope.
Round marbles.Pointy triangles.Unique glass.
Each one adding tothe beauty of the wholeand ever changing.
Geometric patterns.Colorful symmetry.A rainbow prism.
Mind-bending.

My Life's Lighthouse

 

My Life's LighthouseBy: Annette CampJune 11, 2023
Someone asked if Iwanted to settle down.I emphatically said yeswith two exclamation marks.
I want settled but nota comfortable typeof boring; rather a bedrock of stability.
Knowing there's a veryreal foundation toalways be home, like alighthouse on the sea.
One in which will alwayshave a light on leadingthe boat of my life toa cherished safety.
The seas of this lifemay be fairly calm orthey may be somewhattumultuous in nature.
Regardless of the weather,sunshine, rain, or hail,always a light on andthe foundation of home.

Love's Journey

Love's JourneyBy: Annette CampJune 11, 2023
Love is a journey,not a destination.
It could be a solitaryvoyage of self-careor an excursion ofself-love and enjoyment.
That's a good startand a lifetime trip,a constant packingand unpacking.  
Many times, a quickouting to some unknownterritory but on eachoccasion an adventure.
Without fail, some sort ofpacking and unpackingoccur, whether for aday, week or eternity.
Other times, the expeditionincludes a someone orsome ones who've comealong with great anticipation.
Regardless of the typeof relationship building,love remains a journeynot a destination.

What it meant.Gone.Love stopped.Grief starts.
Reduced to theSound of my heart break.
Smash.Crash.Crunch.Crack.
Shattered.

Last night, I dreamtThat I was simplyNot enough.
Not enough girl.Not enough boy.Simply not enough.
Not enough sugar.Not enough spice.Not enough to makeSomeone look twice.
It made me sad toKnow that I wasSimply not enough.
Today, I woke upAnd simply saidI am enough.
Enough sugar.Enough spice.Enough to makeSomeone look twice.

The Aching Unknown

 

The Aching Unknown
By: Annette Camp

This aching period 
of the unknown.
The arrow is cold.
Undeniable,  it is there.
Will the wound be deep?
Will it heal with time?
This aching period
of the unknown
is worst than the
heart's painful stab.
Will the wound be deep?
Will it heal with time?
