About Me

My photo
I just returned back to the States after 11 years in Taiwan with my daughter. Taiwan is an excellent base for us explore Asia, while living in relative (gun free) safety, while benefiting from a cheap and efficient national health care system. The people are amazing too. I have Taiwanese friendships that are 20 years old and I'm always making new ones! My coworker here in CO is from Taiwan.

Phosphorescence between us

Even inside, the ocean was all around you
Coming off your skin in waves, feeling phosphorescence between us
Breezes and sand between the words
I imagined you more heroic
None of my lust came spilling out
w/just a word I sucked it all in and swallowed
my disappointment like a bitter pill
corked it like a forgotten wine and threw it in the blind cellar

All the years of waiting for first moments
Living pure for such a moment to defile
Choose in advance to lay it all down
Visualize best how I’d like you to instigate tempt
But my hero never came
Lost in another story
No one got the glory
Turn to God again in the end
Find gratitude in tears, tears in the beginning
Rather than the end

You hold the power
With one word you could unleash torrents
You could tear down city walls and resurrect the dead
Your intuition is telling you
Follow where you’re led
Open your mouth and prophecy
