In November of 2007 I started talking to a guy from Maynard, Iowa. A guy who plays Lead guitar in Rock band. I live in California. His attraction for me was that I write poetry. A week later, I was in an accident. A 2000 Ford F250 hit me while I was walking. I ended up in crutches and almost lost my leg to a serious infection. This sweet guy just kept on talking to me on a daily basis and kept me from going into depression. We talked endlessly on the phone about our past, our hurts, our wants and our needs. In March of 2008, I flew to Iowa to meet this very special man and fell in love. I recently flew out again and now we are talking about living together. He is the music and I am the words. Neither one of us is perfect but, together, we have something very special. A thing called "Love". I thank God every day for bringing him into my life................

How very beautiful...............I wish I had the beauty of that butterfly.......................I do have your friendship and that's wonderful.

"On Eagles Wings"

Round and round
The Eagle flys
Following me with knowing eyes
No cry, no sound
The Eagle gracefully glides through the air
Beyond my soul does he stare
In me he has found
A prayer to God unspoken
A plea to help heal what has been broken
Round and round
The Eagle flys
Beyond the beautiful skies
Illuminating my path and homeward bound
The Eagle has become my guide
Spreading his wings far and wide
As he lands upon the ground
I see the fallin years
He knows I was shackled by my fears
Freedom is the journey I have found
I thank God and close my eyes
For on Eagles wings will I fly

We all seek similar paths. Perhaps, you've walked the right one but did not recognize the signs. They are there for you to find...........

"Answering a Texas Dream"

Fate has allowed you to enter my dreams.
I am a good woman who seeks a good man.
Your words of want have touched my heart, it seems.
Perhaps you my friend, are part of a greater plan.
As the cold, cold wind blows
across the lonely Texas prairie.
And you listen as the rippling waters of the gentle spring flow.
I will come to you, do not be leery.
I come to share the warmth of your camp fire.
To smell the burning wood in the air.
Listen to what your dreams desire.
A moment with you I will share.
I'll watch the flames red, yellow, orange and blue.
I've answered your thoughts of me.
I've come to be with you
to see if we share the same destiny.
Winter is here, the lonesome Coyote calls.
He knows that I am a part of the wonderous blanket of stars.
Close your eyes as this cold Texas night falls..
Remember that I am as near as I am far......

My prayers are with you........God truly does exist.

This is the first time I have ever asked prayers from anyone but, I really do need them. In December 2005, my home caught on fire while I was asleep. I woke up to sound of breaking glass and made it out of the house right before the imposion. Everything was lost....But,I survived.

In May 2006, I was diagnosed with Cancer and my only choice was to have immediate surgery. I survived and still am Cancer Free.

Friday November 30th, I was at a gas station. While walking to my car I was struck by a new white F250 with lifts. He ran over my right foot, ankle and leg. While my foot was caught under his tire the upper part of the truck knocked me down twisting my body. I was badly cut, bruised and sprained. I am now walking with crutches....

I need your prayers. I have a disease with a long name but, it is basically B12 Deficient Severe Anemia. I require blood transfusions. Because of my Anemia, I have a very low immunity level and have a hard time fighting things off such as infection. I have developed Cellulitus, a serious infection in ankle and the bottom part of my right leg. Please, please pray that the antibiotics heal this infection and that it does not spread any further.

The person who hit me with his vehicle has not contacted me. I don't even know if he has insurance. I'm single and depend on my income to survive. I can't afford to lose time off of work and I cannot afford to be hospitalized. People tell me that I am a very strong woman because I have survived so very much. I simply survive and believe in Gods love. I really do need your prayers to help me get through this.

My name is Rose and with all my heart I truly do "Thank You"! Whatever ordeal you are going through in your life.....I want you to know that I care and I am praying for you.

How truly beautiful. Your words show that you have experienced so much of life........Beautiful, Beautiful, beautiful..........

"SAYING GOODBYE"

Saying Goodbye
Never before seemed so close.
I know it's too late to ask why.
I know that this is not the way that you would have chose.

Saying Goodbye
I didn't know it could hurt like this.
Trying hard not to cry.
Your gentle touch I already miss.

Saying Goodbye
You're my best friend, it can not be.
We'd laugh and laugh until our eyes were no longer dry.
Your spirit is as beautiful as the infinite sea.

Saying Goodbye
One last time, hold me near.
Take me with you up into the endless sky.
Please don't leave me, without you here.

Saying Goodbye
Did you know how much I love you?
This moment, is a time we cannot deny.
Look up at the sky, there are gentle clouds wrapped in shades of blue.

Saying Goodbye
Words that hurt, I must let you go.
We will meet again my friend, as time goes by.
In my heart, your light will always glow.

"Into Your Dream"

Into your dream I will follow you.
Close your eyes for I am near.
Looked for me wrapped in shades of blue.
Can you feel me for I am here.
I will gently touch your face with my fingertips.
Softly, will I kiss your lips.
Hold me for I am at your side.
My passion I cannot hide.
This is all so wonderful and new.
Can there be more moments like this with you.
The friendship that we share is merely a start.
Have I somehow touched your lonely heart?
In your dreams let me remain.
Now that I've met you, my life will not be the same.
Please take my hand, together we will open new doors.
This is our journey, mine and yours.
Don't be afraid of what the future will find.
It's time to move on and leave the past behind.

"How Can I Ever Forget"

Snow on the mountains, a chill in the air.
A beautiful day, gentle white clouds here and there.
Winter and Christmas near.
The closing of another year.
It was so very cold outside.
Just couldn't get warm enough inside.
Brought in wood and built a fire.
Shivering, so cold, so very tired.
Beautiful faces on the wall.
"I love you Mom", who did I last call.
Endless days, getting tougher and tougher.
Long hours, going from one job to another.
Home, bills and kids on my mind.
Needed to lie down, just unwind.
Wiped out, in need of rest, falling asleep.
A soft blanket. Couldn't stay awake, falling deep.
A moment to close my eyes, I finally felt warm.
Can't remember. Did I allow my dreams to form.
Loud, breaking, crackling sounds.
Woke up bewildered, confused and confound.
Oh God, smoke in the air.
Fire, Fire everywhere.
What did I do?
What did I do?
Found the phone, tried to make a call.
Wires dead, burning walls.
Can't think. What do I take?
Someone help me please! Am I awake?
Throat burning, hard to breathe.
Was this to be my last bequeathe?
How do I stop this? Couldn't get the water on.
Memories burning, breaking, melting, all gone.
Found the door, made it outside.
Was this my fault? I cried and cried.
Neighbors screaming. Arms pulling me away.
Tears falling, sirens, firetrucks in the driveway.
So cold and numb. Someone put a blanket around me.
My fault, my fault. Please let me be.
How do I face my children? When they see their home all gone and ashen.
Darkness falls, can't walk away.
Hands burned, heart aches. So much pain at the end of this day.
I cry and cry and cry......
Over and over again, I ask God why.
Everything was a blur, so hazy.
My life upside down and crazy.
No where to go. No outlet!
A nightmare I will never forget.

by Rose M. Kintz

(On December 14th, 2005 my home burned completely to the ground. I was the only one in the home at the time and asleep. I made it out shortly before the implosion. It was a "Flue Fire" and not my fault. However, it is something I do live with. Writing this poem has been good for me.)

"Child of Two"

Child of Uranus and Saturn
the world has become your concern.
People go in and out of your life like the blink of an eye.
Sometimes, you don't even have time to say goodbye.
You express yourself through art.
That shows that you do indeed have a beautiful heart.
It may feel as if you can see life so clearly.
That's when you realize that their are those in your world who love you dearly.
A clear and concise mind is your greatest strength.
You may wonder if everyone is on the same wavelength.
Your love is not confined to one or two.
However, your heart will never be untrue.
A new friend you have in the Child of Venus.
You do indeed leave me breathless...........

"Child of the Sun"

Close your eyes child of the Sun.
Tomorrow will be another day for you to run.
It is your star that has shined so bright.
In the morning, once again will you radiate warmth and light.
You have known and felt both love and hate.
In the days to come, who knows what will await.
You are sincere as the day is long.
Very rarely are you found to be wrong.
Mysteries will come for you to unfold.
Perhaps you will find a pot of gold.
In your life has come a single Rose.
One who brings the rythym of poetry and prose.
Her name is indeed one that is timeless and old.
Will you find the beauty that she holds?
Will you allow her to feel the warmth of your light.
Will you hold her in the night.

How very beautiful......be happy

You are so right....why must finding love be such a chore.....

"Sands of Time"

Throughout the sands of time,
life has proven that their isn't always rhythm or rhyme.
We come into this world with tears and pain.
Fearless, carefree, without a bit of disdain.
A child with very few desires.
We ask for attention, love and warmth from a fire.
Someone to hold us in the night
and in the morning, bring us into the light.
A soft touch to wipe away the tears.
A gentle hug to chase away the fears.
This is but a memory, something left behind.
I'm lost. Scared of what the future will find.
We walk through life so unaware.
Give of ourselves and see that life can be unfair.
In things that I would like to do, I must confess.
I'd right the wrongs and erase the pain and stress.
It took a while. Now, I finally know so much of me.
I was bound by fear. Afraid to set myself free.
I want to feel true love with what's left of time.
I want to dance and perhaps, once again hear the bells chime.

by Rose M. Kintz

To be one with someone is indeed a beautiful thought..

"All I Ask"

All I ask, is just one dance.
One moment with you, one chance.
Take me in your arms, hold me tight.
I'll breathe you in and feel your light.
Give me time, let's capture the night.

All I ask, is just one embrace.
Touch my heart, can you feel each beat race?
Hold me close, forget the past.
Take my soul, make this minute last.
Let's move slowly. Please, not too fast.

All I ask, is just one kiss.
Sweet and gentle, a moment of bliss.
Caress my face, forget about tomorrow.
Chase away my fears and sorrow.
My spirit is yours, darkness is ours to borrow.

All I ask, is to lie down beside you.
Surround me with your warmth, color the sky blue.
Reach my mind, let's erase away the pain.
Never question the things you can't explain.
Hold my hand, let their be no more rain.

All I ask, is to be your friend.
I am here for you. Always, til the end.
You came into my life, I know you care.
I've kissed your lips, I've touched you and here and there.
I am a part of you, if only you would dare.

All I ask, is for you to see.
That I have shared your dreams, your spirit touched me.
I know your smell, I know you well.
I've shared your pain, I've known your hell.
There is more than words can say, so much to tell.

All I ask, is just one more dance.
One moment with you, one chance.
Sweet friend, please take my hand.
We don't need music or a band.
No rights, no wrongs, nothing to understand.......
