I am just a writer
though a poet by Design
waiting on these empty pages
and your worthless promises

I am staring at Old photographs
and the writing on the wall
and I recall

our better days and
younger years
that seem to just Drift Away on clouds I've stained with ink

and so I think
Some inspiration will come to me
in the form

of a message sent down
on Floating leaves

sent by the trees
that quilt the greenest patterned parts
of my memories

So I can see
what is written on these pages
and with the wisdom of our ages
all our empty, broken promises and  hurtful lies
and I try
to see reflection in the mirrors of the tears we cried

I am just a writer
and poet finding songs
So come along
with me
and I will take you to
the places that you want to see....
as I remember pages filled

I am just a writer
and
a poet by Design....

This is an ode Meant To Be sung, was truly inspired by my friend Stephan... who was one of the first to offer inspiration and encouragement. Again no idea if this is really good but it sang  like it was so thank you all my poetic friends helping me to find my voice.Peace -

"Flooded Becoming"
Ma Cherie May 2016
Relationship partner - experience our hot and cold repetitive interplay;                     Great passion and intimacy ........and longing behind the one - harsh rejection & criticism behind other side....we try to smother - the life from this beautiful thing ...energy sapping conflicts - can I get off this ride? No....because withdrawal is just too much for a soul like mine that's intertwined within the turmoil that we are.                    All Rights Reserved - 2016  Cherie Nolan

Reality is a humorous bone.

He loves her in the morning,
an he loves her in the night
when she is far away from him,
or very near in sight,
her eyes are his eyes too you know,
he sees her -
his delight,

He loves the shape of her body,
her **** curves
and how she move,
as she dances around
the living room,
an as she gets into the groove,
he hopes maybe later
her clothes he will remove,

He loves her sense of humor,
that smile -so beguiling,
she is so unique an rare to him,
in jeans an T -
so stylin,

He doesn't mind a scar or two,
she's a lady-who is tuff,
she is a little rugged- true,
not often into fluff,
she's not one so concerned with few,
too many material things an stuff,

Everyday with her,
a blessing-
yes, this is what he said,
he loves her every bit of her,
until he goes to bed,
and then he remembers quick,
an suddenly the dread,

Knowing that the morn' will come
as her gypsy feet may roam,
an so he turns- to plead of her,
please make my heart your home,
never should you wander far,
or ever be alone,

plant a stake an take a chance,
deep in ****** loam,

I love you so- do you not know?

Only love that's wonderful,
how you feel I mean,
but I could not know of this,
you kept me in between,

I only wished to love you,
and for you to love me back,
and accept the problems "we" have,
not see some things that I lack,

"Enough"
Ma Cherie May 2016
Please make love with me after Dark
A place I can hide beneath my heart
And hide my deepest fears
In the deep of the night.

Can we find reprieve in a warm embrace
Because looking at such a beautiful face
Might be too much for me tonight
My eyes hurt.

Let's see if we can find that passion
And give it one more try
if it doesn't work tomorrow
Then that's another day to cry
I'm so very tired.

So turn the lights off
come to bed with me
In the darkness...
we still can see...
Each other
Enough.

A place that we can love and rest
To lay there in our lover's nest
We passed another daily test
So I'll make tonight my last request

To come to bed with me and lay
I've said all that I mean to say

Please be...
with me...
for now...

And for tonight... that would be enough
you & I will be...
Enough.

"Down"
Ma Cherie Jun 2016
You pull me
                        D
                            O
                               W
                                   N
My mind says no
but my body is agreeing to your ripping claws
poisonous tendrils
nematocysts
I can only see you in the right light
translucency blending in the oceans tide
where I am
                D
                  R
                    O
                     W
                       N
                         I
                          N
                           G
                         I want to be saved
here comes the next wave
I go under again
Down to the bottom to never be
                                                        F
                                                          O
                                                            U
                                                              N
                                                                D
A gurgling bubbling twisted crown
the only tiny remaining

S
  O
    U
      N
         D
As it hits the silent sandy ocean bottom.

"My Dream"
Ma Cherie Jun 2016
You visited me inside my door
A love for whom I do adore
your sight it took my breath away
though I know you could not stay
perhaps you'll come another day

we danced around my living room
the love we had was in full bloom
you took my hand we spun around
Entranced in silent lovers sound
My feet have not
yet touched the ground

Your smile lit the darkened place
the beauty of your lovely face
a memory I cannot replace
a million times my hands retrace
and wish again

.....your sweet embrace.

You are my beautiful beautiful best friend.....miss you..lovely dream

Darkness is our friend...though we often think it not
The sky not always blue 
 The sun...does not always feel hot. 
Yet it's light shines down to brighten the path that leads ahead
just enough to appreciate it; when all we feel is dread.                                                         A true perception of reality is more valuable than any gold ...
there is wisdom of the ages..
there is truth in times old                              Comfort comes in knowing we are all misunderstood
not thinking about what can't be done 
Instead on that which "could
      Life will surely pass us by if we see it dismal ...dull and bleak...   
               Find the beauty in everything...
and find the answers that you seek.                                            
       Be kind to yourself and be gentle with the earth
have vision of what you want to be and know your inner worth.
Take comfort in knowing we all struggle -it is all subjective anyway
      All things in good time; just perhaps a different way 
so be decent and empathetic
find passions and live your dreams; there will be a moment when we know what all of this means-                                                     Life might be short-no guarantee of tomorrow
no right that we have earned...
just grateful for another day..
another hour...
another minute...
a second...
to practice what we have learned.
To honor those who gave us life........   
 Be BRAVE

What is going on? I can't seem to write poems or read anybody's comments and I absolutely hate this new format and I hate to use the word hate! I lost a whole lot of poems that were open tabs. ; /

I look to the sky
Ma Cherie May 2017
I look to the sky,
to an endless an
seamless
ceiling of cumulus clouds
for a break
in their unity,
I find me
a window,
colored in sharp cerulean blue,
an I see some pieces of hope,
in beautiful refractions of
life giving light,
in that glorious clear that beckons me so

Apparently there are some problems here? With the Poetry site?

"Relief"
Ma Cherie May 2016
Who are you I ask myself...
We stare and wonder recalling not so distant memories ...
of faded smiles and laughter
... turned into this wicked game
no clear rules
just hurt and blame
and then again...more of the same
When will this cycle stop....
a sharp point
when our foolish pride might end?
if our minds can just embrace
we we're both so wrong
like the melody playing of our favorite song...
knowledge it didn't have to take so long...
and the beauty can be recalled
and I can touch you again....
battle over..
.scars intact
but healed ...
..it's all been revealed
and we could find the ability to feel
...us again.
A warm relief
and found belief in all things that were...only a possibility -
but I hold that tight to my chest...
guessing this is just another test...
and....hoping we survive.
