One was cleaning herself and catching dinner
Her partner swimming around
So elegant and lively
Exquisite and lovely
Rodgers and Astaire on water
Some can be nasty and mean
Yet at sunset
A truly stunning couple
Swimming towards each other
We wished them a lovely evening

Peace
Harmony
Respect
He can't see the forest from the trees
Common sense does not exist
Sense at all?
Compassion
Kindness
Honesty
Care
Heaven help us
How many lies can you listen to?

He drove her home from school late in the evening
Took his friend for roasted chestnuts while seeing the Holiday tree at Rockefeller Center
Gifted her a Teddy bear
He became her best friend and love of her life
Healed a broken heart and damaged soul with love
Introduced her to his parents as he placed an engagement ring on her hand
Danced with her to Jim Croce’s Time in a Bottle in October the following year at their wedding
Suddenly September

Second Love
Love of my life
First Love
One way street I should never have walked down
Contour impressing you not size
Hug contour or size?
He saw what you were unable to see
I was a nineteen year old with ripening hormones in college
When I stopped looking in graduate school
Surprise second love came by and stayed
Received first Masters and Mrs
He earned his as well.
He married me
Earned second masters degree
Several years later and
So did he
Very happily married

Rhyme is easy
Chorus must make sense
Literal or figurative
Let me see
Does the melody work?
Does it make sense?
It is original or just another version of yesterday?
When you find the vibe
When it fills your soul
Do you loose control
Congrats
You are a writer
Yes, it matters
Harmony, melody,pitch,and vibe
It is alive
Sing

Maybe this time
You hurt enough
Realize what you failed to see long ago
Even though a loved one tried to steer you straight
Is it easier to hurt than to decide you deserve to live your life happier and whole
They broke you down
Pick up the pieces
Discard what does not work
Find a direction that feels right
So you are a do Gooder
So you care more than others
So you are sensitive
They don’t have to like it
What about you liking yourself?
Enjoy your life
Maybe this time
You can be you
Let them be who they are
Even if they are family
Ever family has people like this
You are on the right side
Right side
Too sweet
Too kind
Too good for your own good

Always number one
That is how you want it
You matter and others must take their place behind you
Your Tiara,your highness is too tight
You open your mouth but your brain is not in sync with it
As long as you get your way
It doesn’t matter who you hurt
You gaslight so much that you don’t see the harm you cause
You can forgive to a point
It is not always about you
Even though you see it that way
Do you really see?
