If I could blow kisses
I would blow kisses
Gently to you
If wishes could fly
I would send wishes
To fly to you
If whispers could float
I would float whispers
In the wind to you
Whispers of love
And grace and light –
Whispers of a warm embrace
Enemies I have a few –
When doing things
Others don’t want me to do.
Making decisions that
May never please;
Their anger directed at me
I can never appease.
Well, I received short notice
To never show my face
And my family and friends
To stay away.
My only shortcoming –
To make a decision
That did not please.
And I’m sorry for you.
everything was set up
all we had to do was sign
signature became a decision
skies darkened by clouded vision
under duress I walked away
to regret in coming days
all we had to do was sign
opportunity lost
My inner passions
Yell their desires at me –
Demand to be fed
Take me in your arms
And kiss away my tears
Lie beside me
And wash away my fears
Love me gently
And I will love you too
Feeling sorry for myself, and a kind friend told me to stop wallowing. Other friends allow me to wallow. But it is the ‘Stop It’ comment that really help to put life into perspective and to change my attitude. You will change your attitude. I will! Indeed! Self-pity be gone.
My heart is
Sliced into shreds
By a butcher’s knife
My tears drip to the floor
And mix with the blood of my
Bleeding heart
Insecurity rises in my chest
Long dark abyss
Wanting to cling
To an anchor post
But all I have
Is a deep dank well
My thoughts wander
Not knowing where to rest
No closure is found
No thank you is given
And all that remains
Are fragments of
The best I gave away
