She stood on the edge of a cliff,
Looking out to a world that didn't exist,
Waiting for the winds kiss.
This poem was inspired by: Langston Hughes, "Suicide Note."

What if,
Life is counted in the sky,
Or Humanity was meant for Goodbye's?

What if,
The sun and the moon did have a lullaby,
And we separated the eye's?

What if,
Night and Day was taught how to pray?
Would the earth be swayed by grace?

What if,
Our determination was devoted to His,
Salvation?

Can you cure this flu?
I need relief! I'm appealing to you!
It's a nasty bug making its rounds,
There ain't no cure to be found!
I've tried over counter,
And I've tried herbs,
I'm so miserable, there ain't no words!
But you can't help me, cuz I'm in the red,
So I'll take some excedrin and go to bed.
I thought I had beaten this bug! But its come back with a vengeance. I will be off site for as long as it takes to get rid of this thing. I'm sorry folks that I can't read. I still love you all. But I'm feeling lousy. Good news, though, my parents are doing much better! Thanks for all your good wishes and prayers! Love, Catherine

you see   it does not matter
that you love him
reject me with
your fiery eyes
it does not matter that     you
your graceful movements
restless smiles    and your hands
impatiently wait for time to pass
until he will return to you --
that you look at him    with starry eyes
and affectionate glances
or that you rest    your arms    in his
in comfort     and blush, almost
unnoticeably, when
he touches you
softly.

it does not matter that you
disagree   with every word I ever say
that you think you are above me
that you never look my way --
it's irrelevant, you see, to how I
still
feel about you

I'm convinced that I don't love you
but
I see your face
and
do.
Remember that this pain will pass
Remember that this too will pass
Remember that time spent with
cats is never wasted
And he has a habit of walking
into hearts without wiping his feet
But you can't keep dancing with
devil and wonder why you're still in hell
And he may be no less than an angel
Only fallen and slightly bruised
*But even Satan looks calm in the tides

— The End —
