Whatever I can do,
My nemesis can do better!
Every time.
Nemesis: An opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome.

Whatever I can do,
My nemesis can do better!
Every time.
Nemesis: An opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome.
A raw nerve exposed
Blasted pain right to my core;
Agony torments
Here I am sitting on the bus thinking of the word street. And out of nowhere Elaine Paige started singing in my mind, I used to sing karaoke to this when I was a child!
Memory Lyrics
Midnight not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon
It will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn’t give in.
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A streetlamp dies; another night is over
Another day is dawning…
Touch me!
It’s so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun…
If you touch me, you’ll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
My head is crazy
Sore.
Even so,
My flesh is crazy
Craving you.
Thank you for all previous comments, will catchup soon.
I’m reposting a handwritten poem from last year. It shows my scribbly handwriting! No delete button so for the sake of eligibility and timesaving it is unedited and just as it appeared to me. Actually all my writing is like that, but the delete key sure comes in handy at times. Mostly these days all my writing is typed, and most of my poetry and blog posts are tapped onto my iPhone. Actually, my thumb joints are beginning to complain. I can see myself ending up with arthritis (please no!).
I’ve just noticed this could have doubled up as yesterday’s daily prompt for Refresh. Gosh, nothing came to mind yesterday for Refresh, I’ve been thinking of it the whole day (well, not really!), and here it is right here in the poem!
Across the water
The lights flickered and shone
The night air was cool and calm and still
You wrapped me in your arms
As I breathed in the romance of your
Kisses on my face
My neck, my shoulders
Your love refreshed my soul
And I know I will never
Forget you

The seasons change
Like a kaleidoscope
Held loosely in the palm of a hand,
Altering the landscape
Of the days we have survived,
And what are we to do?
Hold on for the journey
Because the past is no more,
The secrets have all been shared.
While there is breath in us
A mystery yet lies ahead.
Take me from where I am
Alone and destitute
Vision faltering.
Lead me to the waters deep so I can
Dream my new life into being.
Let the kaleidoscope of change
Reveal my next home,
Waiting patiently for me to arrive.

Every space that we fill
Be it important or small
Every breath that we draw
Be it unplanned or more
Every step that we take
Every act that we make
Moves us closer to be
Shining lights heavenly

From horizon to
Horizon, bright rainbow arched –
Coloring the sky
Our journey started –
We discovered each other
Fifteen years today

Chords of melody
Flood my soul
Comforting
Caressing
Soothing –
Wrapping
Me in
Love
