“Come on lefty, let’s bogey.  I can dance right?”  Quin asked with a wink and Alice nodded and Jenny motioned to the dance floor, Marina smiled and got up.  They all moved to the dance floor.  Quin holding Alice‘s hands high up in the air her hips
finding the beat of the song and a small smile on her lips.

            Marina moved seductively against Jenny, and Jenny blushed, throwing her hands around Marina and giggling. 

            Quin took Alice‘s hand, tugging her close, Alice‘s hand now draped over her shoulder,
they were nose to nose, and their hips began to move against each other.  They eyes never leaving each others.  Lost in a world all onto themselves.  Alice wrapped her fingers around Quin’s,
forgetting the world again.

            “Are you sure about adopting
her?”  Tina asked over the music and Cass was stunned, and Tina put her hand up.  “No, I mean I want you too.  I can’t see our lives without her, but is it
what she wants?”  Cass thought about it for a minute, nodding kissing Tina quickly.

            “Yes.  I think we both want it.  I think she’s the child I never had, and that
I’d die without her in my life now.  Just
like I’d be so lost without you.” 
Cassandra admitted and Tina cupped her face, kissing her slowly, opening her
hazel eyes to meet the unique gaze of her lover, blue on green eyes.

            “Then do it, let’s be a real
family.”  Cassandra nodded,

            “Ok, me you and the minnow.”

            “You got that right.”  Tina assured her and they got up, moving to the dance
floor to join their friends.

Changed

2.11.05

I
hold my breath

Waiting
for the moment to come

Instead
I run and hide

The
plan of my once perfect life

Torn
to shreds before me

I
lie, I hide, I plot my ultimate demise

I
have no faith in myself

That’s
all about to change

I’ve
got a new vigor

Curtsy
of spell caster that took my soul in trade                                              
           

I
woke up this morning

To
find that I’m whole again

The
shadow that our lives hid in

Is
bright without the gray

I’ve
been borne again

I’ve
shed the dark and fragile skin

I
am who I’ve always been

I
ache to be lost inside of you

Eons
away from the place

That
led us to this barren world

I’ll
never feel that darkness again

Don’t
forget

We
are here to play

Time
to enjoy the life we’ve finally built for ourselves
