Translucent
Translucent
Surely she perceives me blind
Or perhaps the world at large?
Hellaciously might describe
At times deserves such charge
Time has bent her search
Too long turned too vane
Wrapped around her worth
Delivering her pain
Oh and the rage
Unreasonable and cruel
Followed by the shame
Defeating each renewal
If only I could reach her
Find words that explain
Being of her mother
Inherent is her pain
Her search to find relief ...

Golde rule
Love observes.
The rule of Golden.
Freely bestowed or,
Hoarded like wealth.
The truest, True Love,
It is Beholden.
Obliged only to those,
Who love Themselves.
A.R.M.

Respite
Lost, now wakes, her hidden calm.
Her trust rests easy here.
Strangers sing, a foreign psalm.
Cleansed, the filth named fear.

The S word
I fear no man,
No beast, no night,
Nor heartache, death or pain.
The one fear I avoid, I fight.
Is simply that of shame.

Jennifer's love
I saw him today.
Your true love in life.
Lost on his way.
Missing his wife.
His language of pain.
Silently screams.
His eyes are more grey.
Coping with grief.
He brought to me.
A pain I've denied.
This pain I need.
To let it pass by.
Still, my heart breaks.
As part of him dies.
Alone and displaces.
Without you beside.
But hope, I saw too.
When grief gave way.
A moment or two.
Laughing, dismay.
I saw him today.
The one you love best.
I smile and I wave....
Your true love in life.
Lost on his way.
Missing his wife.
His language of pain.
Silently screams.
His eyes are more grey.
Coping with grief.
He brought to me.
A pain I've denied.
This pain I need.
To let it pass by.
Still, my heart breaks.
As part of him dies.
Alone and displaces.
Without you beside.
But hope, I saw too.
When grief gave way.
A moment or two.
Laughing, dismay.
I saw him today.
The one you love best.
I smile and I wave....

I love my truck
Playing in the mud.
Lifted 6 adds to the fun.
F150 love.
Lifted 6 adds to the fun.
F150 love.

Folks
The intelligence
I have learned
Through adversity.
Is miniscule.
To the
Resilience
I own.
As a child
of
Exceptional Parents.

Can't wait to get started
Couldn't Wait to get started
14 seemed the years
Embarked meant I parted
A life of few tears
Freedom was my shining crown
A glint at times could blind
Any thought to turn around
Never crossed my mind
Like the wind on my own
Many grand adventures came
Looking back on what I know
Recalls mostly of rage
Growth brought beauty to my life
Birth gave purpose twice
Time grew both fear and pride
Two decades of delight
Middle age at thirty four
Proved...

Hard
Oh, hard, when will you see.
Familiar is, your company.
Arduous , you, finding need.
Knowing, it's just time wasted.
And again, it says to me.
Need is, wants, creation.

Curse
Wild wind, take my words.
Carry them, cast my curse.
This is me, your wild child.
with a need, to reconcile.
Wild wind, take my rage.
I release it, from my cage.
I beg forgiveness, for my mistake.
For my selfish, of my take.
For picking a father,
who's example, is hate.
So for my child, with your hand.
Pluck the sorrow, and all the pain.
Planted by, a vial man.
Just reach right in, take it whole.
And transplant it back, to his soul.
Let him tend, his own poison.
Let it...
Carry them, cast my curse.
This is me, your wild child.
with a need, to reconcile.
Wild wind, take my rage.
I release it, from my cage.
I beg forgiveness, for my mistake.
For my selfish, of my take.
For picking a father,
who's example, is hate.
So for my child, with your hand.
Pluck the sorrow, and all the pain.
Planted by, a vial man.
Just reach right in, take it whole.
And transplant it back, to his soul.
Let him tend, his own poison.
Let it...

She is not the one
She's no more yet you see.
This wild one.
Wave rogue in a sea.
Beguiled fun.
Of course you are afraid.
Your instinct is not wrong.
If you choose to stay. One day,
You know, she will be gone.
Abandoned finds you reason.
This is why you're drawn.
She is but the season.
Change is her song.
She will never take it back.
The piece of her love.
When you fall off track.
She will carry on.
With her smile all the while.
Nowhere, she belongs.
Long ago ...

You forgot me again.
You forgot my name today.
Just like, you did before.
Now, you have nothing to say.
Not a glance, as you shut the door.
You don't remember, it seems.
The promises told over and over and over.
Repeated, until, I believed.
Convincing me, to come closer.
Your efforts payed off, willingly.
I forgot, that my love,
Makes you, forget me.
If ever, I forget again.
And send you a message, at 3am.
Push delete, go back to sleep.
You'll never deserve me, you never did.
Just like, you did before.
Now, you have nothing to say.
Not a glance, as you shut the door.
You don't remember, it seems.
The promises told over and over and over.
Repeated, until, I believed.
Convincing me, to come closer.
Your efforts payed off, willingly.
I forgot, that my love,
Makes you, forget me.
If ever, I forget again.
And send you a message, at 3am.
Push delete, go back to sleep.
You'll never deserve me, you never did.
