A book of 30 poems, various forms, portraying my emotions, experiences, and events in my life

I sail through an ocean of dreams
As I meditate on poetic themes
Half asleep, half awake it seems
Floating around verses and rhyme schemes
Stars overhead twinkling
Light my way, keeping my ship from sinking
In the distance, I see looming rocks
Moonlight shines on sandy docks
Deep-blue waves soar
While thundering breakers roar
Pinkish-gray clouds hover in suspended animation
All part of divine creation
You and I are borne along by the powerful sea
There is an ocean of dreams between you and me
| Author Notes | I always feel like the sea, sometimes I'm calm, at other times I'm raging, and I feel buoyed up by my verses and rhymes, like a ship sailing on the ocean. Thanks to Dimitris Vetsikas from Pixabay |

April
Rain pouring down
Filling my eyes with tears
Overflowing my broken heart
With pain
| Author Notes | My heart has been filled with pain lately, and we've had a lot of rainy, cloudy days where I live. |

Thundering rains pour
Over trees
Drinking greedily
| Author Notes | I look up at trees during these rainy days and think of how they are being freshly watered and kept healthy by rainfall Thanks to Pixabay for artwork |

May
Is the month in which
Pure blossoms appear
In tranquillity and harmony
| Author Notes | May is one of my favorite months, I feel tranquillity and harmony with the soft spring rains and blossoming trees and flowers Thanks to Jana Dreger of Pixabay |

He is my butterfly
Lots of times he's made me cry
We've known each other for years
Intimacy endears
I tell him of my love
He tells me he loves me too
He used to be like a bird that flew
And made me feel very blue
We're close friends now
We've had outdoor pleasure
These times I treasure
He is just like a monarch butterfly
He spreads his wings
Landing on a flower
My heart now sings
We're both within each other's power
| Author Notes | I am close to a man I've know for 45 years. He flitted around from woman to woman, he hurt me a lot, but now we're very close. Thanks to mageephoto from Pixabay |

Back in February of this year, I was involved in two accidents. One took place on my apartment steps. I was carrying grocery bags, and I lurched forward, hitting my right knee, then fell backward and hurt my back. A couple of weeks later, I was a passenger in an accident on the way to my day program and fell onto the floor of the van (wasn't wearing a seat belt). I received a free recliner from someone at my church. It's been a long road, trying to get rides, unable to walk far, but things are looking up now!
| Author Notes | I have had a lot of pain, but I prayed and received favors from friends, and I got a cortisone injection, which should help a lot. Thanks to PublicDomainPicturesfrom Pixabay |
