Oh yes, the knife I asked for

     sliced down my face

                                        till I bleed into my eyes

                                                                             cloudy & hazed with read

I crumple

               your arrogance mean spirited

                     and dark

You stab out, blindly, in darkness of denial

                   ...

I know now

                  what this is. This is me

                                                                     pushing 

Go Away! You!                  I can't quit you and

does this girl hate to fail. Anything.

So I try to make you quit me, which, actually

         you've already done

Feeling a spring stirring saying,

                              blossoming blooming

                                            hinting

I am ready for a new muse

How i’d love that

                          to be touched again, share a life, see my own magic through another’s eyes, giving again

Understanding

                    after so much time & wasted patience

Permit me to tell a short tale of truth

A romantic, lovely marriage proposal

        So sweet, shared online, lovers to mate

              Such joy, one of the two brides claims she’d now be insufferable

                                     in all this happiness

Infectious smiles, startling shared exuberance, 

                                                                     e...

Allowed myself 

                           one tiny listen today

          when suddenly, it was three without question

O how you love

                         there is no denying

            joy; power; intensity; will; intention

A boundless

    cyclone

     precense ...             if I may, a chance

Whose shine gets caught up with mine

producing fireworks intense

To fall in love

          with a good good man

is a blessing, a joy, a challenge

                                                    and incredible luck

To paint a good man

                 in a bad light

is painstaking work, unrewarding,                                   filled with half-truths, misunderstandings, assumptions, inferences, some lies

Your basic witche...

I didn’t beware the ides of March, and really I should have.

        There were warnings lining the street, certain they weren’t for me

I’m older now, and no one hugged me for it, but my chocolate still tastes sweet

You don’t look so young yourself

Knowing things you know and admitting you know them is what keeps the sparkle shine in the eyes

     the blood flowing and the crea...

I hear your love

Glad, grateful, I can hear 

to me, wrong or right, I hear this voice of love

I chide myself that it does not come from you, because another outside chides me that it does not come from you, per evidence, and no one wants their friend to hurt…

But i wonder, I ponder, I consider

                   could it be the voice of love comes through you

Whether it is truly ...

Souls blacken to a dark rich roasted darkness

                              When angrily decrying love where love exists, 

Convincingly preaching to my words how I don’t love 

                                        While every reader-poet quietly knows, I, in fact, do

If I detest a man, it will not ache so to yearn for him, bitterness hurts much less than heartache

How to gently let go of the foolish dreamer

                              But keep the foolish dreams

                    I adore my dreamy nature, soft, trusting heart; and will not allow you to erase me all the way

Sure i might’ve been tricked by a tricksy boy, a color thief

Deluded by desire, misled by fever dreaming eyes, could be I saw a man

                         and wanted ...

Over and over I hear words bubbling up in my head

    I dunno what they mean, they say

I love you 

Within the Realm

Of All Things Possible

I keep wondering what they mean

I am grateful I am witing again, that is the one gift from you to me 

    Which I will keep with gratitude

Yet, There it is, There it comes, yes,

Ok!

I thought it might be a poem I’d w...

Winter here

               Is far and fair

Does not cruelly bite my skin or whip through my very bones as it howls

It’s just wet, wet bubbly air and mildly freezing

             Natural i keep desiring a warm body in my bed each night

                                        To run towards when i turn off the heat and light

Many come close but disappoint, the world is fi...

Did you know

If we lived together

          If we had ever lived together

We would always be holding hands or arms or waists or something, when we went walking, which we would do a lot, because always I would be moving closer and touching and petting you, relaxing, massaging, worshipping quietly, taking tension, stroking, nuzzling,

Always

Touch is my language, fascinated by your man...

You threw your cards on the table

Swore Yea, I’m real

Only real people ever say that so I know it to be true

Real and true

until it wasn’t

Can i whisper the quiet truths here, since i know your reading attention is elsewhere and not on me now?

I liked your darkness,

recognized it,

                  it did not scare me,

Who was the one

                who declared

i won't hold you to nothing you say? No I never said that nor do I believe it

What I beleive

is if you took the trouble to say it, or write it,  or whisper it, or sing it or disguise it                                                   and I hear you

            I hold you, for my thought is to thank you later for these kind gifts so i ho...

Tells you will tale me

I waited and waited, all my precious time I don't wait 

You left me bitterly one winter night

I never hurt like that before.
Left only with your crime stealthing for my company before I knew you hadn't

Before I knew what's lost in the dark might not be alone

A lyric I hid for him & he heard me, he heard as a sharp call in the fall

he's been answering me in...

Life is lived moving forward

but we only understand looking back

If I looked back from the future, I know what I'd see: your love surrounding me with a fierce light of protection

a soft blanket of gentle cushioning balance of support and admiration

It held me up in my darkening despair and led me through

to the other side, where I made it

It does me no good

to deny the br...

A week now I've been exploring your land, these sacred lands

The place where you grew and discovered What you loved, how this art raised you 

so beautiful here                                                                        

           I wanna climb every hill and ask every question of you.

See you everywhere though you love elsewhere thousands of miles away and actually you are...

My life is filled with love now, bright lights, even without all that snow

Not a romantic scent, but love nonetheless, 

I walk by the ocean,

       Consider, contemplate why I was sent for,

because I have arrived,

                            and I am fully here.

I thought I was following my heart, but that path veered sharply, suddenly          towards a staggering terrifying dea...

Are you clearing your good name?

Blowing up all the ammo before setting fire to the barracks as planned?

Who is it that needs to know

Which song

Originated years back?

Me? Him? Her? You? 

Who

Of course i knew

I knew already i heard them before i heard all of them

But sure seems bits got tweaked here and over there,

As you might do to cull your former recent roman...

Unearthing a secret:

How to retain such sweetness

                                            while letting go

love of love of you without the hope of you

You found me but I was not lost, oh how my heart and I liked each other then

lovers come and nonlovers go

           belting melodies that never let me be

Seems unfair and also equisite, both at once

So many words fo...

Know you

Any benefits to this bewildering, barbed stumble through this dark forest into which you have brought me?

Confusing cutting beautiful song after song, always sounds the distance

                                                                                                 In a tiny flickering glimpse of thickening light

Leading me through the aftermath

I follow and follow...

I can't count on yours

     you said i could but i can't

you don't stand by any kind of truth

       much less my shamelessly abandoned ones

Time brags how she moves you; oh how she brags and mocks your bravado

You said

     you won't hurt me no more

      you won't hurt me no more

       you won't hurt me no more

Well at least

         you won't hurt me no more
