It's been so long

It has been so long
Since you last sat with me
Will you sit with me again
And for how long will you stay?

Twilight beckons as I stand on the porch
The porch swing moves in the breeze
Chirping of frogs heard in the distance
Will you come sit with me?

Watching the last rays of sun vanish
The porch boards creaking under my feet
Wrapped in the warmth of an old blanket
Will you come sit with me?

I can see your face as if it was yesterday
The chiseled features of your face,
The way the light danced in your dark eyes
The way your hair curled in wild disarray

Your hands so strong from a long hard day
Yet soft when they touched my soul to the core
The deep tone of your skin looking like it was kissed from the Sun Gods every day
The curl of your lips when you were being mischievous.

Your long strong arms to match the legs that went for miles and miles
Looking upon you from my eyes always in a lazy haze
That shown just what being with you does to me
The lazy haze and longing look displayed on my face.

The way you looked at me
Like I was the last woman on earth
Such love, devotion and sensual arousal
Showing on your face that always took my breathe away

Your image begins to fade
I reach out to grab you to not let you go
But you fade so quickly
And then you are gone.

It has been so long
Since you last sat with me, my love.
Will you sit with me again
And for how long will you stay?

Reminiscing......

I was not a popular person in school.  I was more of a loner.  While I may have been true to me, I didn't have close friends, best friend who I could tell anything to.  I was not into the same things kids my age growing were.  I played sports, but in all honesty I was not the best.  Was I the best me while playing sports?  Sure!  Was I a star athlete, NO!  So then I had to have been brilliant, right?  No again.  I was the best me I could be.  Should I have applied myself more?  Sure, but I passed my classes with A's and B's which was good for me.  Then came college.  What an unexpected ordeal.  Not my favorite time in life at all.  Feeling lost and alone, I turned to people who I thought were friends, but not in a true sense.  Because I was out in the world unprepared, I followed like a sheep and almost flunked out of college.  We all make bad choices, but for me I wasn't sure I would live through ...

The Haunting

I worked so hard to push you away To push you from my mind But I find you creeping Creeping back in Lurking around Lurking in my dreams My dreams before deep sleep My dreams before waking Haunting me Haunting me of what I felt What I wanted What I loved more than I realized Touching me Touching me in that special way Your eyes dance with fire Fire built by desire Waking me Waking me from the slumber A slumber I brought on And thought I needed to be rid of you Feeling again Feeling again what I worked so hard to lock away Because you didn’t return the same love Because you didn’t see me Hurting again Hurting because of all the emotions I’m flooded with emotions Swirling around me Will I ever be free of you? Will you ever see me as I saw you? Will all of this old chaos settle my life? Will you settle this all or light the flames higher? Like a moth to a flame The feelings so raw Feeling so true Feelings so rare A flutter in my heart Where hope still lives Silly female wishes Or where the...

wondering

It has been a long time since I posted anything.   I have steadily been working on myself and finding out who is, Amanda Tachick.  What does she want, where does she want to be, is she at peace with what her past holds, what does she truly believe in and who is she!  Today finds me wondering:  at the age of 35, have I missed the oppertunity to have children?  is it too late for me.  Then on the other hand I am wondering because I have been alone for so long, other than the occasional boyfriend, would I adapt to having children so late in life?  should I have had my chrildrean earlier in life?  and will I truly find someone I can spend the rest of my life with, or have I spent so much time on myself and taken so long, that I have missed all the windows of oppertuntiy to find that once true mate and settle down.  Now granted I have the dog who has been a constant and loyal companion, has filled the void for several years, but have I become...
