It's the Fourth
of July
independence day,
I take this time
a chance to say-

a BIG thank you
to those
who have
righteously
fought
in the name
of our freedom.


Ma Cherie © 2017
It's all I can manage without crying thank you Dad.
As long as our hearts beat,
Our lungs breathe,
And our minds remain sound,
We still have options,

We just have to restore our strength,
Whilst going through the motions,
So we can delete all noxious toxins
And purify our emotions.

dear god
they say that everything is created in your vision
then why do i feel so imperfect?
so alone, so not worth it

they say everything is part of your plan
then please, help me understand
why am i supposed to suffer
go through hell while still on earth
go through life when everything hurts

why was i born
why was i created
why did you give me this life
just to make me hate it

if you make no mistakes then what am i
i feel so helpless and i want to die
if you were real, if you could listen
tell me
why does this life feel like prison

stuck in a cage
no going back
i keep praying for the day
when my world turns black

the end of times
the end of me
the only way
to finally be free
I miss you, when the woods are still and the river is low
In between the spaces that you and I call home
Where the ocean stirs... and tides come and go
There's a fire that burns...
As I ache for your lost soul

Who knows where we'll wake tomorrow
At the bottom of a bottle...or the edge of a spoon
Still...I hold on hope...that our love's enough to cope
And that you'll be coming home soon

It's too easy to take it all for granted
When the glass is empty and the dirt is dry
I sit alone....eyes slightly slanted
Telling myself all anyone can do is try

Through this life and in the next
In the winter snow and the spring rain
I'll wait for you... by the light of moon
Still...holding on hope
You'll be coming  home soon.
In this life
We have love
We may not have had
The passage of time together
The years of naivety
Youth or freshness of spirit
We have not caressed
Our younger bodies
Enjoyed the sanctity of being as one
When our skin was smoother
Our touch was softer
Our hearts were open to receiving
More congenially
A time when we may have
Chosen indiscriminately
This led us down a road that was
Perhaps
Right for the time
Yet now outgrown ~
The model of love

We have the maturity of mind
Still the tenderness of heart
Enjoying the ability to cherish
That which the Universe brings us
We have more complex bodies
That savors the relaxed
Appeasing, sensuality of love-making
Remaining as a priceless work of art
Instead of the rushed; less intense
Inexperience youth often brings
We have each other in what will be
The ultimate love of its kind
The last known to us in this lifetime
Our twilight years, may come and go
But we have love that lives on
Forever recorded in history
The mistakes of the past rewritten
Because now, in this life
We truly found ~
The model of love
~ It's never too,late~
Sometimes, I wonder "What If".
Sometimes I wonder "If It Was Me"
Then I stop.
I look at what I have.
All I have since you didn't want me.
And I smile.
I look in his eyes, brown pools of depth.
Real love I find, no superficial ****.
And I smile.
I no longer wonder "What If"
