I’m not better

Than you or he

I’m just better

At being me

It’s doesn’t matter

My looks or my size

I am created equal

Deep down inside

Let’s get together

Join at our heart

We are one family

We are a part

Of one creation

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
