When I look in my mirror
and try
to see my body
with your eyes..
I become afraid..
I am too honest with myself
not to see the flaws and my
self consciousness returns
and I look away..
in my mind and heart
I am still young
but I look in the mirror and
see only a shadow
of what I feel in my heart..
when I am talking with you those
feelings of insecurity
seem to melt away..
I can only hope and pray and dream
that when your eyes look upon me
that they will view
the person as a whole
and that through your eyes
I will not see the breasts
that are small and no longer
youthful, a stomach that has
been stretched by 3 pregnancies
and thighs that have lost
their tone and are dimpled...
through your eyes I hope to see a look
of love and passion and of desire...
Stupid fears? Yes, they are..
but fears nonetheless.
Yes, most of what I consider my flaws
can be changed with
exercise and some
hard work but not
before you see me,
not before that first
impression is made....
this, my dear Englishman,
is my biggest fear of all.....
this is where I consider myself fragile....
this is where my insecurities lie.

And yet for tonight
I will disrobe and
touch my breasts
and run my hands down
my sides, my stomach,
hips and thighs
and I will pretend
that you are worshipping
each stroke with your eyes
and responding
with your own body...
and through your eyes I will
imagine that I am a woman
who is desired.

DRIFTING IN DREAMS

Quietly, in the darkness, drifting in dreams,

Glittering stars chase endless moon beams

And while the moon crosses the velvet black sky,

Thoughts of you in my mind, in sleep I sigh.

Drifting away in deepening silence, the night,

Your arms steal around me, holding me tight.

We are so far apart, but our souls touch so near

Barely a whisper, in dreams, your gentle voice I hear.

Comes the dawn, I awaken, unfolds a new day,

I’ve been Drifting in Dreams the whole night away.

The morning sun rises, Roses kissed by the dew,

I’ve been Drifting in Dreams... just Loving You.
