This site has a lot of work that needs to be done...THIS is a work in progress! But as I go along, at least you will have an idea of some of my writing styles and skills....I am writing now all the time, and submitting anything and everything! I just had a story chosen to be in a book published by Atriad Press. I am excited about that! I have had articles published, but never anything in a world wide book! I hope this is just the beginning!!!! Everything on this page is my own, if you feel the need to call yours, I can't stop you, I might not even ever find out....I hope it brings you joy, and you don't forget where you got it! :-)
A few poems/dreams from the past and some thoughts...(most from 2000) :
I am but a simple creature, made from family ties and strangers stares. A warm rain runs through my veins, awakening my deepest desires. Each beam of moonlight shows the way to my soul. Count the distance of air and you will know how mnay thoughts flood my mind.
I dreamed of death last night, he was hunting for me. I ran from him, until I was almost breathless. Finally I made it to a dark, abandoned corner. As I stood there, cold and alone, thoughts and memories forced in and raced through my head, making my heart pound even more. He slowly crept down the long hallway, almost right through me. Why? I knew he had seen me, he had heard me breathing. I had felt chills run down my spine as he faded into the darkness. I ran to the opposite end of the hallway until I came upon a huge room, where I met a man, who was so inviting, so handsome. I sat with him, and talked about what I had seen; the skeleton with rags hanging off his bones, and the fear I had felt. As the man looked at me, to try and comfort me, from the corner of my eye, I saw a snake lying on the bare wooden floor. I looked back into the man's eyes realizing HE was death, as he turned and said "This is the only way you would talk to me and not be afraid." He was correct. He was only lonely, looking for conversation; not another soul. Not yet. (this was a dream I had, and is written as it was recalled)
Trust, Faith, Nurture is all I can offer. Yet I ask such burdens to be lifted. And yet you take my torments and without punishment. Only asking for my belief. I say YES! For you have my whole-hearted belief and any fellow hearts that I may lead to you. Amen (1998)
One day you will be aware of me, everyone will see me and allow my words to leave these pages and do thier magic. One day we will live in my world and be happy. One day all my dreams will awaken and become your reality. One day I will be right and prove you all wrong. One day I will forgive you and you will still doubt me. One day we will all live and no one will die. One day I will face reality and cry.
Shower - The misty steam consumes me. Each drop brings me closer to your touch. Each velvet bead manipulates me. I close my eyes and feel you cover me with blanketing kisses. With each change in temperature I can feel your lips upon mine and feel your hands trace my every curve. As the goosebumps appear I know it is time to start my day and continue dreaming of you. (1998)
You want to be him, I see how you look at us, at me. I heard you say you like how I wait for him, if I walk ahead. You like the way we say our love with just a glance. I caught your glance today, it made me smile as I heard you say my name. I say you look for someone like me, you look for what we have. I know you want to make your move and touch my cheek. Then I heard you say I am stuck up, it brok my heart. Then you tell me I will never make it, and I realize why I am watching YOU look at us, not me. And I thank you for making me love my life even more! (1999)
Ever stop to look at the moon and count the stars, only to find you would have been better off looking at the sun?....To be able to lose sight of all that you thought was important, and make room for the truly important things!
If you think about it, you should do it, or never think it again!!!!! - Dana.
My love - I feel like falling from the night sky into you, into us, catch me like a firefly, letting me light your path. I am the wind you cannot see, yet whispers to you. I feel like falling upon your skin like warm rain, washing all your problems away. Feeling like falling is being in love with you!
As I fall asleep I dream of you - I could walk to the stars and wrap one up for you, I could pull apart the sun and always warm you. I could lift you to the moon, always to be alone with you. I could lay here and hold you forever. I could do all these things, but I know you have already done them for me
