Within this life
There's alot to do
and alot to learn
it's quite daunting
for , I know this is true
So take advice
and know it's
better to start now
then to late
when your older
tired and a little bruised
that could be sad
for you will wish
maybe had listened
So take it here
and begin now
for now is good

You are daring and fun
You draw me in
I can't resist
I can play
I give it right back
sacarastic & flirty
You wanna try
I give it right back
Call me mouthy
Whatever
I can see
see what's going on
I got ya baby
Wanna play
Let's play
Dam he's ****
I like this game

As I start to reflect
I begin to see a part of
life , I missed
It went on by
without saying hi
I had no clue it was there
I had no clue I might miss it
So here I am figuring it out
There's no way to say it
But I hope I can share it
I hope I can give it away
this life lesson
Maybe someone will
See it and stop it from
walking by and miss it
Then maybe they can
live it and enjoy it
and not regret
on this life lesson
Instead to reflect
on the fun they had
the cool things the did
And the life they lived
..For that's what I hope to
achieve from this
walk down memory lane
To what I missed those years
that walked on by
So there it is
my life lesson

I am a artist
I write poetry
I create abstract paint pours
I paint homes
I am always creating
I love being creative
It's within this gift
I am me
I always have music playing
it's the music
that has given me life
Through art and words
I express myself
I write and paint
parts of my soul
Through the struggles
I can always find through
words and colors
I can find some healing
I can express anything
Being an empath and a artist
It's where I am whole
So when your wondering
Just read , look and listen
Or write , color , paint
It's one thing you can do !
Artist I am
This gift , I share with you

How do you go back
How do you forgive
How do you wait
That's the ?
Is there an answer
not really
cause you can't change
what's already been done
But you can find yourself
you can forgive
you can rebuild
Or you can move on
You can hope to find
something much better
Or at least something
that won't hurt you
or at least rebuild trust
in your self..

Show me you are real
Show me you care
Show me with your heart
Be real or Be gone
Show me with your words
Show me with your heart
Do you really care
Be here now
OR
Be gone
AND
Stay gone

Here we go again
Can't seem to stay ahead
the curve comes to fast
I can't seem to catch it
It's without a chance
It's just like my luck
I do admit , I felt like
hibernating
this weather *****
gets me hiding away
No energy to spare
So where do , I go from here
What can , I do
Can , I get ahead
Make up for my
loss of time
Will , I save the curve
I do hope , I can keep
catch and return it
before it passes me
and I'm outta luck

Deeply I am lost

I feel my navigation
has spun outta control
I was content knowing
my destination
I felt secure sailing
through life
Knowing my gps
was in hand
I couldn't get lost
I had someone whom
I could call
so now
I'm lost at sea
I have lost my gps
How will I sail in life
now that
my call is no longer
a minute away
my navigation has
broken
Will , I just drift on land
Will , I sail again
I just don't know

I want to walk through your pages
I want to feel every word
flow through my body
I want to taste the ink on my tongue
I want to discover you
threw the words
your words of poetry
Your poetry and I
shall dance to the
rhythm of the verse's
In the pages , I walk
I will find a part of you
I long to know
I will feel a part of you
hidden only shared
in the pages
I shall show you
through me
you will discover
what your poems
capture in the
heart and
how your words
fullfill parts of the
human soul
my soul will
take you on the journey
As , I walk the pages
the pages of you ..
your poetry

Tear at my flesh

you still can never
reach my soul

Daring and Willfull

trying to get in
despite the pain

Knuckles bruised
not giving up

wanting to reach there
for you see

you can't hurt me

I'm blessed in this flesh

Reincarnation
built this fence
around me

Sadly you will lose
as , I stand here
looking into your hell
Seeing what once was human

now all , I see is
the sad sad
weaker of you

I live in spite of you

and you will never
reach what's
mine

my soul is human

I hear his sticks beating on this and that
You can hear how good it makes him feel
It is a bond you can not break
                
🥁🥁🥁

This boy now a man
Has his sticks and plays on a kit
It's been his love from womb
                
🥁🥁🥁

The music of his soul
Is played for all
For when he plays
It's then you come to understand
the passion of this man
from pots and pans
to the drums he now beats on
              
🥁🥁🥁

His talent is heard from his hand
With his beating sticks on the drum
It's where he is home on his throne
              
🥁🥁🥁

So play on my drummer son
Your music makes me whole
God  I love your rock and roll
            
  🥁🥁🥁

I got a new job
It pays quite well
So a new adventure begins
How long will this one last
I guess it's up to me
I really feel quite proud
I didn't think it go so well
I guess I can really do more
then , I think I want to
It's new and a change
But what else is there to do
So here , I go again
Trying something new
Giving myself a kick in the
***.
Much needed for this I'm sure.
I know life's a challenge,
But,  I know another hill
I can climb
So climbing once more.
What the hell why not ?
I just may be blessed
with this job,
and taking a chance
trying something new

Laying here thoughts of you
Breathing into me like the
Nite air. Your eyes consume me
The way your hands feel on my skin
Do you even realize baby
How much I feel for you
I have so much I want to show you.
I wanna share nights of
of laughter and quiet nights
just relaxing in your arms.
Kissing you good morning
Days when rough you can
count on me to be here to listen
Or just care. I wanna walk with you
On a rainy day just holding hands
I count the time till I see u again
I miss you babe I really do
I am so happy we found us
I have needed someone in my life
To show me i won't be alone
And to share my life with you
Thats what I hope to do
Im not perfect I make mistakes
I'm human to but one thing
I can promise you I'm loyal
I won't cheat I won't lie and
I will show you the man I see
And the man you are and treat
you as a such with respect and honor
All I need is music coffee and you
Alot of you all of you .
I love being the women who takes cares
Of the home and her man
But I also love to be the one you speak of with pride. If , I loose you now I loose
my only chance I've been given of a
actual real true passionate love.cause what I feel with you I have never felt with anyone ever and truly deep in my heart
don't believe I could again
So I'm all in or I'm all out
And will love me as love you

Waking up finding the cold
wrap around me like a ghost
Grabbing me tight holding me
in his grip
Trying to warm and break free
It reminds me to think and
remember what I know
It's only in my thoughts
think warm think warm
It's then I begin to feel
the heat and warm I do
No thanks to you
© Jennifer DeLong 11/9/2024

When I dream
I dream of waking to find you
Why do I always think of you
Why do you consume my nights
Why do I always think of the past
The past I can not undo
The choices I made
The choices you made
We are all victims of our past
When we learn to grow and respect the power of our choices maybe then we
learn the power of our decisions
Make them with grace
Think before you do
What's done is done
Will you wish it to be different
Will you look back haunted
by the decision you made
That's the learning curve
don't be to quick to answer
and seal the fate of your future
You may find yourself haunted
and wanting a do over
that can't be given by your
answer that fateful day

Where does time go

Do you ever wish

You could go back

and redo
Now that you know

how it turned out
It's the way it is

So when your frustrated

Having a bad day
Be careful what you say

There is no do over
It's in that moment

Your life could change

forever
Listen to yourself

think about it
Without meaning to

It is exactly what happens

in that moment
Regret lasts

you can't take it back

No redo remember

that ...
