Do you ever feel your heart sputter?
My heart beats against my chest
as I transition into a deep sleep...
This has never happen to me!
Why is this happening?
It is an infatuation
of a heart throb...
I have lost my mind.
........misdirected focus.
I think about her all my time!
How is her day?
What is she thinking?
What is she doing?
Does she feel the same way?
It is a wonderful time.
I like her style.
.......her lips.
.......the way she moves.
.......her way!
Will she ever give me the time of her day?

The Sports Fan
Having a Bud at a pub,
I see ten high-definition TV’s blasting above.
The tavern is filled with sports fans,
here and there, anticipating the big game!
Star player intros highlight the view,
Opinions within the tavern pass from ear to ear.
Sports trivia is shared with every fan.
bombard sports nuts for their review.
A great play brings an uproar!
A hilarious fanatic screams in my ear.
Patrons fabricate their players’ past performances,
predict the outcome of the game.
An affectionate male pinches a maiden’s butt.
Their hearts go—pitter-patter.
A smiling and laughing lady recants,
"Oh baby, do it again! Buy me, another beer!"

FEARLESS FLIGHTS!
Flying through the snow
on a frisky pair of skis,
over the hills I go,
yelling all the way...
Ha, ha, ha!
Skiers & snowboarders glide,
making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and zing,
a skiing flight tonight
Ohhh...!
Fearless falls,
Fearless falls!
The snow is turning pink.
I think I'm crashing into trees!
Will someone call my Shrink?
Ohhh...!
911!
911!
Will someone call my wife?
Take me to a hospital and
feed me whiskey shots!
(Sing to the tune of Jingle Bells)

FIRST THOUGHTS...
I enjoy the sparkle of your eyes...
I like the smile on your face...
Kiss me, if you can?
Close your eyes and just dream...
You taste like winter mint cream...
I wonder what you think?
I desire what you feel.
You're vividly in my memorable warm thoughts...
Sunrise! Sunset!
You're constantly on my mind.
Blackberry chocolate mint red wine...
Oh, what a fantasy delight!

The Eagle Spirit!
The Eagle symbol means
peace, prosperity, and happiness for all!
It is the strongest and bravest of birds!
The eagle's feathers are given
to another to honor!
Respect the eagle for dignity and pride!

July Thought of the Month!
In the quietness, stillness, and darkness of the night, sit and listen to classical music, soft rock, or country love songs with the one you love. But make sure you share some special time together!
But remember, if you are in a rebuilding mode, happiness doesn't come with the abstinence of challenge. Caring and trust doesn't come with the abstinence of conflict. Love doesn't come without the risk of rejection or trial.

SUMMER BREEZE
Imagining spring gardens from balcony above
bring warm thoughts to dawn air:
the serenity of breathless moments,
the sight of finches in flight,
and the silent peace of early spirits.
Sunlight peeks from heavenly sky above.
Rays fill my body with warmth.
Spring crocuses and then tulips
provide weekly surprises,
sneaking and popping out of the rich fertile black earth.
There's passionate energy of new birth challenge:
first green, then baby blue blossoms,
white, and pale yellow colors.
I will be dazzled by beauty, as rows of vibrant banners
fill my dreams with blissful sights.
They go to another dimension,
where only angels appear.
Listening for flowers that whisper
and sing music to my ears...
anticipating a special kick-off to a new warm year.

SKIING SLOPESTYLE!
With the sky high afternoon sun
and
freshly fallen snow,
we ride up a mountain to 10,000 feet.
The winter temperature is chilling!
Aspens glisten with brightly shining rays.
Our gondola ride is a delight.
We see virgin powdered snow,
feel the adrenelin in our smiles.
Stoked, anxious for a descent.
We attempt a downhill slope,
carving through rough terrain.
This slope is better than awesome!
The silence is serene.
Skis trigger snow crystals in our face,
as we race,
refreshes as it sprays
We are cutting, now,
through tree-lined trails and
accelerating as we go.
Our hearts are pounding against our chests.
We feel an internal body rush,
a climax beyond our control!
The thrill of downhill skiing,now,
flowing through our veins.
