Never Say the Words….

Never say the words….
Current mood: exhausted
Category: Writing and Poetry
 

 
What is it that keeps us
Just out of reach
Arms lengthing each other
Got to keep our space
Just near enough to touch the surface
Just close enough
Graze skin, note eye color
Never say the words
 
If I say the words then that makes me
Responsible
If I pony up and [...]

Once Upon I time, I met….

            Once upon a time I met some ladies online. I wasn’t expecting friendships of the nature I am blessed with. It just began as conversations and cool photos. I have come to find that they are generous with friendships.
             It has [...]

Oh Great! Expectations……

Oh, Great! Expectations…
Current mood: curious
Category: Life
 

Because you’re not what I would have you be
I blind myself to who, in truth, you are.
Seeking mirage where desert blooms, I mar
Your you. Love, I would like to see
Past all delusion to reality.
Then would I see God’s image in your face
His hand in yours, and [...]

Poetic thoughts from a tv show to remain nameless…

They say art imitates life. Sometimes what I watch feeds me. Sometimes it sympathizes like friends. Sometimes it acts like a mirror or photograph. Great art speaks.

Pull me out and remind me who I am
You know you have always held my heart
Let’s hear stories about [...]

A Mythical Jill

A Mythical Jill
Current mood: tired
Category: Writing and Poetry
 
She fills the pail and scales
The dune to dump grains at the top
The demarcation can’t be seen
What she contributes looks so much like
Every other grain of sand
She descends the slope head over feet
A mythical Jill playing Sisyphus
She rises from the fall
She scoops again and [...]

For my friend with Autism and Down syndrome

For my autistic, down syndrome friend
Current mood: blessed

 
Emily, I wonder what goes through that pretty head
You look up at me and won’t say a word
Emily, big brown eyes and coal black hair
Just to feel my skin you take my hands in yours
Bang the table, hands flap, pages fly,
Watching you just freezes [...]

Just a question…

When you are hit with the blues for some reason
Inexplicably
While normally you may be sunshine and light
Bizarrely
You feel as azure as a Sri Lankan sapphire
 
 Where do you go
Curiously
When the doldrums
Unquestionably
Come in like high tide
 
 Do you for comfort hide
Temporarily
In the arms of dear authors
Sensibly
For the stable sage wisdom of their words
 
 Perhaps for peace you cling
Desperately
To the [...]

Random April-isms
Current mood: artistic

If you were here
Right now
What would I say?
 
 
I would say something
Witty to make you laugh
I love to make you laugh
 
 
If you were here
Right now
What would we do?
 
 
I would brew you a cup
Of tea because you like it
And I like being with you
 
 
If you were here
Right [...]

            I can’t remember the first time that I read anything by Madeleine L’Engle. But I would imagine that it was A Wrinkle in Time like most people. I do however remember vividly when I fell in love with Madeleine L’Engle’s writing. I read that same book aloud [...]

When We Close the Space Between Us…

“Where did Pollyanna go?”
She asked me.
“Not always a laugh a minute it seems.”
I smiled slowly, sadly
And shrugged a shoulder
And I watched her and replied,
“Where’s your big dreams?
Seems to me we’re both a little jaded.
Seems to me we’re neither one that tough.”
Cynically she laughed and she nodded adding,
“But whoever would have guessed
It could be so rough.”
Just [...]
