Only you .
You know girl you got is so wrong . All those disappointments were not to take you down . Yes you have been bought to you knees with a trembling heart and eyes that found it hard to see in the dark searching on a hand to hold . All these things were there so you could find your voice your legs your hands mind and your own heart . In such a way that you know how precious and necessary it is to live a life even when it feels all askew when bottom is the top and the top the bottom and friends and family are few and how love can stab you in the back while in your romantic inclination your heart...

Grateful Week—Wednesday
An amazing power, the Mind!
Problem solving, spirit calming
Connections building —
Both with ideas and with other hearts & minds
Risks averting, adventures taking
Plans making
Often flexing ‘round the twists & turns of life
Grateful now for my amazing mind
& how e’er inspiring I find
Yours to be

Deep Within Me
If you could look deep within me
You'd only see deep wounds and scars
Cuts and abrasions, some new, some old
Each one has a story to be told
You'd be able to tell where each time one started to heal
A fresh one formed, or a previous one sliced open
Each time the process starting over
Never getting closure
If you could look deep within me
You'd see a light once so bright, now dimmed and dark
You'd be able to tell where the light once burning, was blown out
You'd know at one time I was full of...
You'd only see deep wounds and scars
Cuts and abrasions, some new, some old
Each one has a story to be told

A fresh one formed, or a previous one sliced open

Never getting closure
If you could look deep within me
You'd see a light once so bright, now dimmed and dark

reign overthrown
I watched the words
unexpectedly appear on my screen
barely surpressing an internal sigh
I really shouldn't be surprised
because after all...
I was the one who walked...
but never blocked
unnecessary...I thought
debating momentarily...
...should I even reply
in the end I did
just to see where it went
and quickly discovered something unforeseen
I knew him...
...he no longer knows me...
...to be more specific...he never really did
having met me at a time in my life
heart broken &...

do you remember?
do you remember
my last poem?
“her“ was its name
writing about love
about what’s above
and beyond our minds
love in all forms and kinds
writing about her
she who is kind,
she who loves a quick glance
and little smiles
she who is beautiful,
she who admires everyone
and their passions
who she is?
she is me
quite literally
except i wouldn’t know
if i hadn’t stopped running
to you, to them, away from myself
all that i aspire to be
in the end
is me.

Mosaic Love
I want to love you
Every piece of glass
Of that mosaic soul
I want to caress the sharp
And savor the pain,
Celebrate the scars left
Every piece of glass
Of that mosaic soul
I want to caress the sharp
And savor the pain,
Celebrate the scars left

I am just a woman.....
I am just a woman, trying to make it to the end
I am full of hope and love
Yet I am fearful and terrified
I am lots of things I see everyday
when I look in the mirror
I am a mother
a lover
a giver
a listener
a wife
a homemaker
a big time talker
a nurturer
a smoker
a drinker
a dancer
a bank
a taxi
a chef
a boss
a lady
a hard worker
a music lover
a slave to myself
One day itll all be over and I can say I lived my life to the fullest every long yet...

Not this time
paranoid
narcissistic
asshole
abuser
you have
tied me
into knots
for too long
I know
blood says
I should
love you
not sure I can
and still stay sane
it's not safe
I've forgiven
the past
many
years ago
we were young
you were
a victim
first
your weakness
becoming strength
over the only one
weaker
But
your present
victimhood
is in your head
not my fault
and I won't let you
make it
my burden
Not this...

Fragile Soul
meld me in your kiln
I wish to become whole
they can craft with clay
but can they craft a soul
watching from below I see
the others in their transcendence
only smiles they're beautiful
lost in their total resplendence
I finally will like me
upon the high shelf below I see
someone like myself peering up at me
unknowing of the future to be
fired into a ceramic prison
please why won't you stop and just listen
don't go you'll feel regret beyond reason
another imitation
a smile no longer sincere ...

never ending journey
sad to say...
my self esteem died a long & painful death
well, okay...maybe not quite dead
but gasping her next to last breath
desperately seeking validation
it started out at a very young age
{doesn't it always...}
as words thrown casually in my direction
sharp & liberally laced with a particularly nasty venom
repeated doses made me more susceptible
but the real killer...
...that kind of damage...
...eventually it self-perpetuates
until one day I was the one destroying me
internally tearing myself...

What she is
Unclothed
By the pestilence of time
She roam the Earth
As she exposed her scars
The very relics
That reminded her
Of her dark past
In her heart, the flame
Unleashed from the depth
of her own hell
She silently spilled
every vile she kept
Till anger and hate, all sorted out
And dealt with
In her mind, her own beauty resides
Consuming every good thought
That she could think of
She adhered to positivity
over negativy
Escalating herself
And her own individuality
In her soul...
By the pestilence of time
She roam the Earth
As she exposed her scars
The very relics
That reminded her
Of her dark past
In her heart, the flame
Unleashed from the depth
of her own hell
She silently spilled
every vile she kept
Till anger and hate, all sorted out
And dealt with
In her mind, her own beauty resides
Consuming every good thought
That she could think of
She adhered to positivity
over negativy
Escalating herself
And her own individuality
In her soul...

heels to the grocery store
Clothes are the best armor
The layers between you and the world
You can almost control how people think
With all the ways you can change yourself
I wear what I wear to get the attention I need
What I crave so deeply are those eyes on me
It's a power trip to know all the tips and tricks
People truly cannot help themselves
Eyes always go to the sound of heels
The layers between you and the world
You can almost control how people think
With all the ways you can change yourself
I wear what I wear to get the attention I need
What I crave so deeply are those eyes on me
It's a power trip to know all the tips and tricks
People truly cannot help themselves
Eyes always go to the sound of heels
