Glorious

Daylight fades—almost aqueous as we plan an evening to honor hands, to die in, expose ourselves, distance to love.

The sequence of breath: a sole strength un-tethered, softened as it seeks harvest that swells— fertile beneath the air.

And it is written on the map—white breast in the palm, a string of moisture on the brow, tongues that thicken to please.

It is certain, a void that becomes, in turn,
plentiful—the taste and scent of nectar still sweet on the lip.

Standing Before an Avalanche of Moments

There is a softness in love--in the tint
of it (and in the breeze). The heart takes
in this softness and distributes it evenly
throughout the season.

In the heart, sincerity can be quiet;
a sequence of heart beats, moments,
or lovers stilled by the flush of
the moon.

And on the perimeter, the heart weighs
much more than anyone could have imagined.
But inside, its warmth and fragility
thunder lightly--just enough to be heard.

And when the chest aches in expectation,
it becomes truth, and no amount of comfort
can direct its wants into white silhouettes
just hovering on the sidelines of a perfect
fall.

(One must be in the consommé of
things in order to merge well.)

There is a sweetness to vigor, just as
there is a fear of what may become.
Like the surge of the sea, when it moves
in and out from shore, its body wet
and cool, wave by wave.

It is enough.

And it is sufficient that the hand fits
exactly into the hand of another–-
the warmth alone could leave one
ignited between breaths.

Wintered

       I never knew I loved winter.

In fact,
I must have mislaid photographs of white places
during the storm, the black and white of a
gazebo, or the distance between everything. And there
is a vertigo of song here—it is clever,
       maddening,

                         increasingly       December.
I am here again in the season; I carry a talisman,
a rosary, and a string-of-letters written
in white.

In the evenings the cluster of city lights rein in
these eyes— they clarify the low clouds that hang
from the sky like summered mist, but summer is not home.
And I think
I can see spring—an opening scene,
where mountains grow and fingers spread cool,
begging for release.

(I can still feel the laughter each
time I turn the soil.)

At times I lie like a lily without stem, speak to it
in its own Italian,
mouthing the words I long

to hear. At times, I fly like a gull into interstices.
And with no one looking, I fall deeper into the lungs of
Neruda, taste the thread— open dividers that held
for so        long.

And with little breath, I dribble language, hope to rise
from the
hard of
      a season I dislike,
       but still,
                    but still,
                         but still, the pearl of my spine
                                      will not be strung!

So tomorrow, I sleep like
the past [lovers] that knelt before it.
In spring I will sow a blossom, a yellowed daffodil
from bulb. It too will brighten this city, where
in this very moment, seems sheltered in white.

Zombie Voodoo Fest 2012 - An Epic Apocalyptic World Event

Life is a Gift

One thing I never understood was, why is something so valuable, more cherished than something free? Love is free. Nature is free. A smile is free. Should they not be more valuable? It is not how much something costs that makes it better, it is how it is given, and how you receive it.

I would rather have a smile or true love, than money any day. And that comes directly from my heart. Because anyone can build an empire, but an empire built with love can only grow warmer.

And from there, your riches can be seen. xo

Kemah Boardwalk

We spent yesterday in Kemah with our nephew Jason and his beautiful girlfriend, Sandra. What a fabulous time! We rode so many fun rides; including the roller coaster (in which my eyes remain closed during the entire ride, and the Drop Zone.




Ugh, that Drop Zone was scary, but a lot of fun! Sara, myself and Sandra rode first. While going up, we were amazed by the scene as day was slowly coming to an end--the evening sky dressed in the perfect blue and the sounds of summer spilling out against the horizon. We discussed how we would survive if we were to fly out--we came to the conclusion that we were simply out of luck! Just as we began to squirm, we dropped. I do not think I have ever held my eyes so tightly shut, but I was not about to look!

And the roller coaster was a bit bumpy, but was just enough to frighten me. I have no idea why I am such a chicken when it comes to coasters, but I really am working on getting better. The ride was fun. ;)

We also rode the Ferris wheel, where Stefan and I kissed. ;)



(Above: "One Fall Evening at Kemah Boardwalk"- KDPhotoman)

After a few rides and the delicious daiquiris that we sipped, we had a late dinner inside Joe's Crab Shack, where Stefan and I shared dungeness crab nachos and chatted with everyone. I never thought I would enjoy anything that like "Crab Nachos", but they tasted fabulous! I sensed a hint of cream cheese within the mixture and simply must have that recipe! They definitely have become a quick favorite of mine.



We really had a great day, it felt good to just relax and smile. The food and drinks were was delightful, surrounded by great conversation and friends. The night was extremely beautiful along the water--the view was unforgettable.



We spent the night there and have arrived back home. I cannot wait to go back.

Bagaceous Jewelry Designer Joins The Reinvented Emerging Magazine

Written Beneath the Skin

I woke this morning fantastic. The window ajar,
I heard the birds on the wire, in the trees

they sang the most beautiful of songs
as sun arrived in splendor, brought dreams of
love and mirth, and for a moment
Spring was here.

I imagined it warmed your hands, fingers that
one day might feel excitement, only to leave me
in a dream-like state, inquisitive, moist,
ever so aware-unclothed.

O love, tell me they will discover all that
I have to render! My thighs
[pushthemselvestogethertightly]
at the thought.
Never have I imagined such magnificence
                and a boy that can
                        make it last forever.

I am completely and utterly in love.

And as fervor slides into the lungs 
like a breath in the rain, everything 
becomes soundless, where even the wren 
find it much too wet to sing.

Stirring Winter to Wine

Ice lights.

Princess

A letter from from my husband. I enjoy placing his beautiful words into my blog from time to time--it makes my heart happy. :)

"Cher, I'm completely, unconditionally mad about you. Crazy in love with you. I am nothing without you. My breath begins and ends with you. You are my masterpiece, my princess. I am head-over-heels in love with you.

You unleashed unbridled passion when you push yourself upon me, looking into my eyes from above me. Your body, warm and smooth expresses in motion your love for me. I am captivated, enthralled and entranced by you, wholly.

You are gorgeous, and beauty ushers forth from your tender heart engulfing your entire being, evidenced by the smile on your precious face. I simply adore you. I am so proud to be your husband, none and nothing compares to you. Your smile releases immeasurable fireflies in the dark, illuminating untold lives, passing through me in a swarm of emotion, invoking me to desire. Your smile holds the secrets of joy and pleasure, your kiss is love and the knowledge thereof.

To my princess, I bring with me none of the finest of fragrances, frankincense or my-uh, nor can I offer the wealth of a king, I bring to you myself, in the throes of passion, of desire, of want, my hands offer to you all...I give you my heart. Take it unto yourself, hold it, guard it, caress its texture, lines of scars or hurt, with your tough heal the wounds, revive its beat. Nurture and feel it with tenderness, happiness and love. Tenderly kiss the source of my life, warm its core. When you have done these things, open the cavity of your chest and place my heart inside of yours, safe and secure. Two hearts beating as one, one until the celestial majesty crashes deep into the sea.

Cher, you are without doubt, my beautiful princess and I have come to take you away. I will love you always.

Stefan"

Thank you, Baby for how you are. Your words made my heart flutter as if it were a butterfly in itself. You make me feel beautiful, make me feel more loved than I ever have been. I know that I am. It is a great feeling to be married after all these years and still feel as we did the day we first fell in love--the passion igniting over and over again. We work well as a team. Together we are beautiful. I love you more and more each day.



I adore my prince. He is my heart, my life, my everything.

Now that I have placed this "loveling" into one of the places where my heart and thoughts thrive, I will prepare for sleep.

Good night, sweet world.
-Cher

The Breath of Love

"Cher,

None dare stand against me, the breath of love fills my sails, the force propelling me forward, conquering all. Nothing stands as a wall when love abounds boundlessly, unconditionally and true.

I am who I have become because you live, you breathe.

-Stefan"

(If my memory fails as I grow older, I want to remember everything about you.)

Our love, a trellis of iridescent
fiora--rooted, where darkness
is pressed flat and the sky
undresses the clouds into
the perfect blue.

The subtlest moment,
ours alone. ღ

Rainy Days

When we were in DC a few weeks ago, it rained nonstop. Virginia Beach, rain. NYC, rain, rain. And when we are back in Virginia Beach on Monday, I am sure it will rain, because of Hurricane Earl . Luckily, I like the rain. ;)
