To the one that I love
Yet lost to a whispering breeze
That blew so gently yet so devouring
In it’s embrace
Taken away and so mysteriously
There was no warning
One day attentive
The next day it’s exit
How cruel the fate
Of another lost love
Now, just a mere memory
Yet forever in my heart
i weep tears of sorrow
Longing and desiring
For a love to last a life time
Yet destined to be brief
I leave my footprint upon this path
As gentle as can be
Soon it will be swept away
By the rushing wind
No one will know that I have been here
Except for Mother Earth
She felt my feet tread upon her
She gave me courage and strength
To press on
I have left an impression
I leave my heart print where I go
As gentle as can be
Soon it will be forgotten
Replaced by other loves
The angels will not forget though
They stand in witness
Felt the love flow from my heart
And have written it into the book of Life
I have left my impression
All is not in vain
I am here, I am here
Said the woman in this writing
Reaching out, reaching out
Looking for a kindred spirit
Closing in, closing in
Are the walls that do encase her
Hear me now, hear me now
Her voice is shouting out
See me please, see me please
She beckons for attention
I am here, I am here
Yes, she does exist
Hold me now, hold me now
Searching for some comfort somewhere
I am love, I am love
I am one with all of you
Proper prose
Perfectly placed
Project
Pretty pictures
Ponder, perhaps
Passionate platitudes penned
Promote
Poignant pleasure
I will depart quietly
Without fanfare nor farewell
No tears will be shed
I will be the whisper in the wind
A slight touch on your skin
An afterthought
Time will move on
With the smallest of remembrance
Of my presence here
I am bound for greater things
In higher realms
I will move on
I WILL EVOLVE
I will wait for you
As long as the sun is shining
And the moon hangs in the night time sky
Patience is a virtue
Carrying me through the roughest waters
Wanting to run
But remaining in place
Until peace can reside
And civility is restored
We can then move on
I will remain
Feet firmly planted in love
It will see me through
Until we meet in the middle
No longer adversaries
But committed to the common cause
Love will see us through
I am woman
Human and living
I am sturdy and solid
I have meat on my bones
I own everything
Wrinkles and gray hair
Rolls of flub and flab
I own it all
I love to eat
I will no longer feel guilty
I’ve learned to eat healthfully
Yet treat myself at times
To indulgences
I exercise my body
In ways that appeal to me
That’s how I work
I have curly hair
That will not be tamed
Large ears and nose
Full, round face
Eyes that need glasses
To see
Yet
My eyes are beautiful
Blue and expressive
Hands that are beautifully sculpted
Legs that hold my frame perfectly
My female parts are pretty
Pleasing and sensual
Ageless!
A smile that can light up a room
And warm a soul
I sparkle
Who am I?
I am who I am
Made perfectly
Perfectly pleasing
Unique
Valid
Loved
Whole
Degraded
Disrespected
Humiliated
Every word
Is a punch to the gut
Every tone of voice
Like a whip of a belt
How long can I endure
Until I crack
And break into tiny pieces
Will I ever be able
To put myself back together again?
I am in need
Of Divine intervention
Please help me.
I forgot
Your mind
Thinks differently
Than mine
I forgot
You feel
Not what
I do
I forgot
You see
Nothing that
I see
I remembered
And withheld
Heartfelt words
Tears fell
Letting go
Is hard
For me
Especially you
I stare upon the picture
Wildly attracted am I
Craving and lustful
Yet
” You are not allowed”
Reverberates in my head
” You are not worthy”
Is stamped upon my soul
Look away
Step aside
This is not for you
Move on
To those who desire the beautiful
You are not meant for such greatness
Be satisfied with the ordinary
Alas
You are ordinary
Average at best
Move On
So I walked away
