DREAMING

By Kelly Reiger

I dreamed last night and

your perfectly formed image appeared in my mind

so like a incubus

enticing

and alluring.

My body quickly responds

to the anticipated pleasures

and I cry out in happiness.

I have known these pleasures before

though it seems like many eons since

last you whispered sweet love to me.

Your hot ghostly breath flows along my bare trembling

flesh followed by ethereal like fingers searching.

Your otherworldly eyes sparkle with the knowledge

of what you are doing to me.

My body surrenders willingly to your touch

for it brings to me sweet peace instead of the heart-

breaking lonely night that should have been.

Hours later when I awaken

my body achingly sated

my mind raw

weeping with the reality that you weren’t with me

that all we had last night was a dream.

I’ve come to realize that my days will be long and lonely without

you my love

But my nights

The nights shall bring love.

Yes, my love I did dream of you last night

and hopefully, I will again soon.

PAST AND PRESENT

By Kelly Reiger

As I stood beside you

watching the scenes of Earths history

flash before us

it occurred to me that I recognized

more than one scene.

That for some reason I believed

I had been in those places before.

That those scenes were just as familiar

to me as my home in Iowa.

It was then that the awareness came to me

that I had been in those times

and that you my friend

had been there with me.

So I began to wonder about those depictions

what type of lives had we lived…

were we happy in those times…?

Had we lived exciting lives,

fought battles,

lost loves.

I could only wonder as more of the scenes

flashed before us.

Then I looked at you my friend

saw your smile

and knew that my thoughts had been yours

as well.

Yes, it would be a fascinating experiment

to meet ones self

in a past time.

To see the many ways our lives have played out.

Yes, I agreed.

to see how we lived,

loved,

and died

together

even in the past.

What are some of the classes that you have to take to get into LPN classes?

Why won't my computer eject the disk I put in. I've tried pusing the eject button as well as going to MY COMPUTER and trying that eject.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong and can I get it to eject some other way?

THE INNER YOU

By Kelly Reiger

Today, unexpectedly I found myself watching you

as you sat quietly in a darkened room

gazing out at the stars you so love.

You were alone

a rarity

for you are usually a person who seeks others.

Yet today I see

you wish to be alone.

I feel loneliness emanating strongly

from your being

it is tangible

like a ache from deep within.

I wish to spare you this pain

but I fear that the simple touch of my hand,

a gentle word,

any gesture of kindness from me

might break you

and send you spiraling towards madness.

So I stand here

watching you

as you sit there

agonizing over whatever it is

that has hurt you so.

I wonder at where your strength comes from.

How you handle all the things that you do.

Then a epiphany comes

and I realize

that your strength does not come from

swords, money.

Nor even words

but from a inner power.

A inexhaustible power

that you are able to draw upon

whenever you need to.

And it is this that I realize

is truly your best defense.

And I…

I just stand there

humbled

by all that you are.

Knowing

that you will survive this

with or without me.

For that is who you are…

what you do.

I could reach out to you

give what support that I could

but would you truly thank me for it?

I doubt it

for pain must be experienced.

That is the way of life.

And it is your way.

A LOSS

By Kelly Reiger

Today, Unexpectedly I found myself watching you

as you quietly sit

in a darkened observation room

looking out at the stars you so love.

You were alone.

A rarity.

You are usually a person who seeks others.

Yet today

I could see

you wished to be alone.

I feel the loneliness emanating

from your being it is like a tangible ache.

I want to spare you this pain

but I fear that the simple touch of my hand,

a gentle word,

any gesture of kindness from me

might break you and send you spiraling

towards madness.

So I stand

watching

as you sit there withering in pain.

It is then that an epiphany comes

Your strength,

it does not come from swords,

money, or even words

but from a inner power.

A power that you draw from whenever

you need to.

I have come to realize

that you merely are you…

and that in itself is its best defense.

And I…

stand here humbled

by all that you are.

Knowing that you will

without my aid or with it

come through this pain that you feel.

For that is who you are

and what you do.

I could reach out to you

and try and make this pain go away

but would you thank me for it?

I doubt it

for you must bare

this pain alone.

Losing a loved one

is painful.

And Spock

he was your life.

My mom is 63 y/o to young yet for social security. However, recently she was diagnosed with COPD and CHF and came home from the hospital on home 0xygen and neb treatments. She also has a w/c now to go places in. Would she qualify for social security disability now? Or does she have to wait for the two years til she reaches 65 y/o?

Thanks for any help and suggestions

COME BE WITH ME

In the years that we have know each other

never before have I asked anything of you.

However, I feel that now is the time. I have watched

you and see your pain. I think that I can help.

So I ask this of you:

Come walk with me.

Side by side

along unexplored seashores.

Come share with me

memories of a lonely childhood,

of lost loves, of choices made

and then regretted.

Let us sit

arm in arm

watching as the moon

dances enchantingly along the moonlit sky.

let us touch

this one time

our cascading emotions

igniting passions

kept silent by duty.

Let me show you

that I…

and only I

can show you what love is.

Others have tried you cry out

your voice weeping in its loneliness.

What can you offer that they could not?

Love I whisper gently cradling your broken heart

within my hands.

It is

that my heart knows you…

My Soul

accepts you…

My arms

want you.

And I…

I need you.

COME

Come walk with me on silver lined clouds.

Come with me to see the golden seashores

of alien worlds never before walked.

Come sit beside me during a moments respite

to watch the stars that we both so love.

To talk about our past,

share memories of childhood,

of lost loves, of pain.

To talk about our present.

Our history together.

Our growing affection.

To talk about our future.

All the hopes, feelings, and fears

that come with a relationship.

Let me touch you…

show you…

what it is to truly love someone.

HAVE FAITH

Rain

turn to ice

slippery

unexpected a fall.

Broken hip.

Oh the pain!

Unable to work

no money coming in

bills left unpaid.

Oh what will I do

lights turned off

no food to eat.

no way to get to the doctor

Friends who stop by

see my dilemma

oh what will I do.

My pastor stops by

holds my hands in prayer

Oh what will I do?

He sees my dilemma

hands me a card

I open it

within it I read

Give a helping hand to a friend in need.

And in side the card lay money

lots of it.

I look up questioning

He smiles and touches my hand gently

tears fall from my eyes.

Oh lord

All I truly needed to do was trust in you.

Can anyone name a time in the classic star trek series where Mr. Spock betrayed Captain Kirk? Betrayed both friendship, trust, and almost got Kirk into a whole lot of trouble.

Can anyone name this episode... and do you think that Spock was right by what he did?

Can anyone name the medals that Kirk and Spock had received by the time Kirk became Captain of the Enterprise? hint: One of the episodes list them

Do you believe that Kirk, Spock, and McCoy all attended Starfleet academy at the exact same time?

If you could go to any time-- past, future, or present what time would that be?

Who is your favorite star trek villian?

Who is the elder... Kirk or Spock?

Do you believe that T'Pau is Mr. Spocks grandmother. If so why do you believe this.

At the academy who was Kirks nemisis?

When Captain Kirk first came to be the Enterprise's captain who was his first officer?

Remember Gary Mitchell. Before he was killed by Captain Kirk he recited a poem to Kirk in sickbay.

Can anyone cite the poem and tell me it's title and who wrote it?
