The ups the downs and inbetweens

All started from my  early teens.

The life I've lived is a story to tell

Some so beautiful and some felt like hell.

I do not dwell on my hell 

Instead I admire my feet.

Optimistic and persistent

I stride with pride

in the knowing' I'm growing

No pain showing 

My real strength glowing.

To bury both parents before thirt...

She's building since she was a little child

Not always living free and wild.

She learnt to take down' some small bricks 

But certain things' make the bigger bricks stick .

Words that wore said

Never left her head 

And made the wall grow taller .

In her bed the words consume 

In return  leaves her feeling smaller.

1.Denial 

2.Anger

3.Bargaining 

4.Depression 

5.Acceptance 

You can't physically be in denial after seen them take there last breath.

An Instant broken heart comes immediately  after a  death .

You see it  , you feel it 

You dream it.

Denial should be numbness .

The day your angels whisked you away

Was painful  and my body froze so tightly in order to stay whole.

The  pain that is  inflicted upon us

Leaves  our mind full of ruckus 

The fight between wrongs and rights

Can keep us dwelling and awake all night

Walls they cave in on top

We ask our minds to stop

Tossing and turning frantically 

Visions of pain played out dramatically 

Worries and fear 

Won't disappear 

Because we lend a listening ear

To those who ...

We wait for a new day

Hopping it's better

In fact 

That shit is never clever

While we wait we hesitate 

Trying to imagine what we want

Our life we debate 

In the mist of our mind

We will find all the wrongs 

When we are down

We only frown 

Blanking out 

The positive sound

It's easy to envision the worst

We cry so often 

We may feel cursed

Heartbraking news 

Deliverd to us all in one day

To be told her cancer will not go-away

Has left our family living in grey

Her brain

Her lungs 

The stomach too

Each part of her needs a prayer from you

The chemo is just a money making scheme 

The doctors and nurses are not what they seem

200mph  howling winds

Vicious down pours 

Hurricanes strong enough to permanently remove her ,

 in that moment : the same moment her life' no longer felt like she was living 

She realized ; she was drowning herself. 

Her own limitations ' covered in fear 

Her eyes closed

Unable to really see how it was all an illusion.

She's surrounded by beauty 

She's safe and secure ,

Her blindfold prevents her from seeing alot more.

Her eyes are open, her blindfold still on

She has her sight,

She knows she's wrong.

Removing her shield can help her to see,

But her pain is what's causing the blindfold to be .

Her hands move freely 

Their are no chains

A woman so wild ' yet classy

A horney beast and sassy.

Filthy thoughts linger in her mind

 this woman is by far, one of a kind

She's eager to please

Ready, to drop to her knees

Panties ,so wet

With every tease

Wants to do absolutely anything daring,

But won't tolerate the idea of sharing

She's to cute and caring

She sit's amongst the piece's

Of broken glass

And photographs

Reluctantly releases

The last

Of what was her past

The door's they slammed like thunder

Her tears they fall like rain

The warnings from her family

Whirl like a hurricane

She's no longer drowning in emotion

She has made it to the shore

She survives

Anxious and scared

Excited and giddy

Head stuck in the past

From the memories of poison gas

Feelings of disbelief 

And hoping it will pass.

From the first phone call

He has not stopped sharing.

Suppressed anger

At its best

Tightly squeezing air from chest

Never feeling any confirmation

Always seeking an explanation

Everything we do,

We did it for you.

Yes it was hard,

But all of the greatest accomplishments are.

Once we felt, we couldn't cope

Emotional turmoil felt like

We're Dangling from a rope.

The tears and the tantrums

The pain in ears 'from beating drums.

Countless nappies

And sore bums.

Walking the landing 

While soothing your gums.

Her mind is no longer a busy place,

The stillness has finally arrived,

Welcomed , with open arms.

The comfort of her own charms

Has evaporated her own alarms.

Although she still thinks,

She is silent enough to allow them to sink right down to her very core.

The alarm bell's have silenced once more ,

The pain she felt has lost its roar,

I think its really selfish

The way you drink your self into oblivion

Not caring ' not knowing

No longer glowing

Your liver failing

Cleaning your sick is degrading

Falling in front of neighbors is shaming

Are you not sick of us all complaining

I want you to see 

What you mean to me

Our poems are not contest's

Their is no win or lose

All that stands between them

Are different point of views

Many things the poet can choose

Different styles of writing

Each individual poet may use

Many themes

Many dreams

And many more in-betweens

I have a funny story!!!

It holds nothing but the truth.

I meet a man,who claimed to like me!

So early on in his youth.

When He first appeared,

Standing tall ' un- shaved beard.

Speaking like he knew me

For all the bus to see,

I sat with much confusion!

Nothing made sense to me.

After our first encounter,

I was dazzled and quite surprised.

Her feet placed firmly on the wet grass

No shoe's

Her soles and the soil

United Once again

The connection between herself and mother nature

Love she will not feel in other places

Gracefully showing her gratitude

For all that mother earth has to offer

The soft whistling and chirping

different birds from diffrent flocks

Together at peace

The bare trees standing tall

Was made from brick and water.

Who is perfect?

Not me and nor you.

Not your neighbors.

Nor anyone who breathes the same air as us all.

What is perfect?

Is it pretending you dont make mistakes.

Or is it being accountable for your own doings.

How can one be perfect?

Does one follow others who think their right.

Or is it following your heart no matter who is against you.

December solstice opened a door

Something she never experienced before.

Candles lit

Sage on fire

Her only wish was to fulfill her desire.

Called on to god for he is higher.

Flames flickering

Body shivering

Hand's quivering.
