Featured Poem
Rollercoaster
I love rollercoasters
The ups and downs,
The highs and lows,
Of speeding along the track.
The weightless feeling
Of spiraling through a corkscrew turn.
I scream in excitement
As my stomach flips,
All the while
Thanking God
For the shoulder straps securing me.
I love rollercoasters
My heart beats in anticipation
As the car climbs the incline.
I know what’s coming
I see what looms ahead
A shocking dip followed by
A heart-stopping upside down loop.
I lift up my hands,
And enjoy the elation
That comes with letting go.
No surprises, just relief
As the waist bar holds me tightly.
I love rollercoasters,
But I don’t like the one I’m on now.
Too many lows,
Not enough highs
And I can never see where it’s taking me.
My stomach drops with each dive,
My heart no longer races with each climb.
Instead of an exhilarated high
That comes with the journey.
All I feel is exhaustion
As the ride never seems to stop.
I know I’m not alone
I see you sitting next to me.
I can feel your arm
draped over my shoulders,
Securing me to your warm side.
You said you’d ride with me,
But I didn’t believe you’d stay.
I’m sorry for doubting,
Forgive me for not trusting.
I'm just so tired of struggling
To stay high, only to be let down.

Hmm... I am having trouble reading that expression! It's either very upset, or very "go away!" ?! :)
at first I thought "oh pretty kitty" but then I felt the burning from that stare!
He's a beaut! And that's how my Yami would stare at me, too! :-)
