I don't write that often but sometimes I can be laying in bed at night trying to sleep and a poem will form in my head and I have to get up to write it all down.
wickedy dickety
loop de loo
You jumped to conclusions
and landed in poo.
wickedy dickety
loop de loo
This life is mine
and nobody asked you.
wickedy dickety
loop de loo
You jumped to conclusions
and landed in poo.
and now all who know you
say peeee-ewwwww!
dire straits means the world awaits
a motivational move from you
make yourself known as a person full grown
and get ready to see the world anew.
bitter be the heart that seeks
a tender loving touch
only to swivel in fear
when the touch comes near
and the love becomes too much...
For one small moment
You let me believe
Believe in the stars
And everything I dreamed
Dreamed of a time
That all is good and true
That love was mine
Mine… according to you
Itty bikini
Barely there as people stare
Strings slip and all bared
Someday, I will understand
I don’t have all the answers
I don’t know God’s plan
I don’t know Saints from Sinners
But someday, I will understand.
Someday, I will understand
This world around me
Understanding God’s plan
Is a whole mystery
But someday, I will understand
Someday, I will understand
Why the sky is blue
Understanding His big plan
And why he loves me and you.
Someday, I will understand
Someday, I will understand
God’s plan for me
But for now I know
It’s all is in God’s hands
Right where it should be.
Someday, I will understand.
What’s on the inside
Many cannot see
Few want to know
What’s on the inside
Isn’t always free
Free to let go
What’s on the inside
Is a deep part of me
I am not hollow
What’s on the inside
Is a heart of glass
Warmed with thoughts of love
What’s on the inside
Is a mind full of decorum and class
So that I may find my place above
What’s on the inside
You may never know
If you do not stop and listen
What’s on the inside
Is a heart that glows
A heart that glistens
That is what’s on the inside…
Heaven has a new Angel.
On Earth she was tortured inside
Inside, torn and fragile.
Outside, loving and kind.
Earthbound, she was known for her smile.
Heavenbound, known for the tears we have cried.
Wishing she had swayed
Knowing this time she would not be saved
Her intentions no longer delayed
Her soul in Heaven
Her body in grave.
So many people do not understand,
What can lead a person to commit suicide…
Alive, here I stand.
I managed to survive.
Death had its grip on me
Unwilling to let go.
How can I make you see?
How can I make you know?
Death was my foe.
I fought it every day.
It would not let me go!
It would not go away!
I was scared and anguished.
I was alone.
I was punished.
Depths of grief, to you, unknown.
I tried to get away
Even though it was deep inside of me
But it would hunt and find me anyway
I only wished to be happy.
My one and only wish was to be happy.
For many years it was all I could wish.
I knew I had to be free,
Or else I would perish.
I fought with everything I had in me.
Death fought back,
With the strength of an army.
A full fledged internal attack.
Until one day
I finally saw the light
Was able to make my way
Into a new life.
I was torn inside,
Battered and bruised.
But Death inside would longer abide,
I was no longer abused.
I am here today.
I am alive.
I am okay.
I have survived.
Sometimes when the people in our life go away,
We think of the things we left unsaid.
Things we wished we had said to make them stay,
Wishing we had only thought ahead.
Grief strikes us in so many ways,
Sometimes keeping us in our beds,
Sometimes leading us astray.
Into a voidness, we are led
Making deals with God, in hopes to sway.
Memories cover our faces with the tears we have shed.
In time, our hope is that the pain will fade
And our memories will live on in our heads.
When the world comes to end
When all boats have sailed
And no words left to be said
Let love prevail
When lovers start to fight
When love words start to fail
And it seems like the darkest night
Let love prevail
When death comes to call
When your loved one is sick and frail
And you waver and want to give up on all
Let love prevail
Love is powerful
Don’t sweat the details
Be strong and loyal
And let love prevail
Come to the water
Sit at the edge and gaze awhile
Where things never seem to matter
Yet everything is worthwhile
When you come to the water
Come to the water
Let it beguile you with its endless charm
Echoing others distant laughter
Nothing alarms
When you come to the water
I never would have guessed
How bad you are for me
You always put me to the test
But somehow I still love you dearly
Somehow I can’t refuse you
It’s hard to push you away
Hard to embrace something new
But I know I must be brave
I pass you often in the aisle
You try to tempt and sway me
I will not be beguiled
How can I make you see?
Donuts, you have become my new enemy.
Oh Coffee, how I do love thee
You make me feel awake
When my body has told me
That I shouldn’t be
My mind sharply alert
Ready for the day
Sleepiness gone
Work is under way
Oh Coffee, how I do love thee
Pride in my planet
Quietly strong
Resistant to destruction
Sustaining power
Treasured home.
Away he walks with pride
His temper set too high
While we rush to get to the side
To escape his mighty mighty might
To escape his mighty might
Feeling Alive
Kneeling in a field of grass
Leaning my head back to feel the raindrops
Moistening my face and hair
Nothing I fear
Outstandingly alive
Frightening noises crash down
Gloomy clouds crowd
Hot misty air swirls around me.
Ignoring the warning of lightning
Just to feel closer
Storm Brewing
Absence of the morning light
Breaking winds to my delight
Calling me outside to view
Dark purple skies
Enveloping the sun
Sometimes the cost of living
Leaves others in despair
Not willing to be giving
Life is not fair
A lifetime in poverty
Many mouths to feed
There is more to the cost of living
So many have a need
Be sure to count your blessings
No matter how few or grand
All tomorrows bring
A future unplanned
