You are still searching for your one and only
Search your heart and cut the baloney
Sorry that cant write a prescription
to alleviate your affliction
There are no rules or guidelines
Jump into the moment push aside the sidelines
You deserve the fairytale and the very best
Please don't settle ,let this person standout from the rest
For you,the stars and the moon need a better destination
Make memories and  take snapshots without hestitation
First a forever friend and then a lover
Breaks the mold completely unxpected like no other
The love of your life is out there waiting for you
No excuses now,you know what to
He is waiting for you

FOR JTE
Maddy Feb 2021
You were not expected
Loners don't corral friends
Bright and creative
Soft spoken and surreal
A southern gentleman like no other encountered before
You have always been there to talk or share the triumphs and tribulations
How I wish your soulmate would find you?
How I wish somewhere out there you find who you are looking for?
I have mine and time for you to have yours
So happy you met my one and only
Cant wait to celebrate yours!

Someone who loves you more than you love yourself
I know you don't like yourself
Be adored and married they way you choose to be
Accept that some will never get it and who cares about them
You have wasted time worrying about what you cant control
Prejudice, ignorance and hate need to take flight
Before you say it, I know they wont ever truly be gone
Hoping and wishing wont make it so
My sweet friend love who you love
Please stop looking and find him
You friends straight, gay, or no matter how they define themselves will dance at your wedding
For You Joy and Love

Crying in the shower
On bus rides with sunglasses on
Not jut what you do for love but what you do for somebody you love
Smile and deal with it is usually the best course
Sometimes it is bigger and looking away or getting on with it just does not sit well
There now for you though would rather not be
For you
Because of you
For you that is the only reason this situation rises again
Know that this might be the last time even for you
This is something I would rather pass on and not do

A better year
A better you
Finding the love of your life
Making a life with that person
Celebrating you
Still want to dance at your wedding
C-Span brought us together
Friends ever since
For you
Simply the Very Best
For Joe

I can find you in the dark
By touch
The blue eyes shine and glow
The music is soft rock
Cotton
Satin
Silk
With all the laughter
The Joy
The tears
Hoping for many more loving and lovely years
For your eyes only
Maddy Apr 9
You can't avoid the pain in their eyes
Maybe a faded smile
Look a little longer and dig a little deeper
Sometimes the older photos have stories that we are first beginning to know and understand
There is a cost
Maybe even a gift we have yet to accept
Care about connections
You might reconnect and yet maybe not but know about them
Find out who you are and family matters
Found them yet still searching so the story continues
Maddy Jun 2021
Four letter words
One very special one
Changing your life, soul, and spirit
When like becomes Love
Four letters of joy and promise
If you found them, lucky you
If you have yet to do so,open your heart and stop looking

Fractures depending on severity heal
Unfortunately some leave scars naked to the eye
Healing and recovery take time
Some lessons we need to absorb and learn
The stubborn and common stupidity of some are making life difficult for others that follow rules whether they agree or not to protect the many
We are supposed to be United?
The world should be more like the Broadway show Hadestown which is the the way things should be
Going forward and not backwards
I won't welcome you into our fractured world
Be patient and then you can come on in when everybody does the right thing not what they want to do

Your narcissistic life
Your pleasures
Feel free to be you and I will be me
Your way or the highway

Your thinking you know it all
Set my course on the best direction
You and your family were mourned
Guilt trips be gone
Can no longer go back to your drama
Much joy and happiness are wished to you and yours
We are happier and do much better
since we are free of you

c@rainbowchaser2018
Maddy May 2024
Set yourself free
Like a balloon let go of and soaring
Like a kite with a long-lost tail seeking an adventure
You can get closer to yourself and free so much
You find what you need and get a surprise
Be free of what was.
Learn from it and move forward
Be grateful for it
Embrace what is and what will be with joy and anticipation
An open heart will help too
Set yourself free
Free

Believe in what you say
Put it into action
Hit the pause button
Better still the delete button for those voices in your head
Fake it until you are sure
Take that file of smiles out if its hiding place in your drawer
Slap one on for good measure
Remember to be true to yourself even if you are not ready
You can never be sure but you can look the part
Freedom lets you rise to any occasion with determination and hope

C@rainbowchaser2019

You are wished a happy and healthy life filled with joy and adventure
Keep those you love close to you
Be gracious and kind
It is not all and always about you
Whatever pleases you doesn't please others
So know that and move on
Family is defined many different ways
Sometimes relatives take their leave because they know that they only belong under certain prescribed ways
It is not a MEMBERSHIP
You don"t have to renew
Breathing fresh air for the first time
Everybody is going through something
Choose what works nest for you and pay others no mind
It is your time
Dont waste it

Poets don't have many
They are loners by heart and nature  
Every now and then a surprise finds you
My poetry has always listened  
Always been my friend
When you reach out
Read our words  
Pass a genuine  heart felt comment
Then you have the makings of a new friend

Some are temporary.
Some Lifelong.
Some were completely unexpected.
Some unexplainable.
Some stay the same at a distance.
Some grow.
Some end for reasons we will never fully know.
Some completely undeserving of us.

Sometimes pervasive and others progressive
Happily positive

You walked in
Orbits and constellations changed
Lies soared away
Truth and being genuine reigned
What we started to understand others couldn't see
They are blinded by so much more than ignorance
41 Valentine's days later my love for you grows to heights not scaled and numbers not accounted for yet
When they are they will need more numbers
From the start ,you have my heart

Lower and higher
Up and down

Do you think for yourself?
Out of control
Know your roll
Taken under
Pulled out
Full of something

Gem
She is here
A miraculous gift for her family to treasure and adore
Challenging to have her join the party as her Daddy would say at this time in our world
It is a testament of just how much her parents love each other
They love you more than any poet could express even your Aunt
You shine unlike any other
Uncut and beautiful with a quality and luster all your own
May the world welcome your arrival and be gentler,kinder, and more caring for you.
As your begin your story filled with sunshine, warmth and glory
May good health and joy surround you every moment
Welcome to the world, Little Gem.

When did we fall apart
Accept our differences and similarities
Disrespect our cultures and traditions
Two steps forward and three steps back
Change is a constant
It is the companion some would rather not deal with
Deal we must
Everything old usnt really new agai
Its updated,renewed,and rebooted
Which is why your memories are so soecial and precious
The jewelry and gifts you possess are not the real gens in your life
You are living your life
Your memories are the gems
They can be unwrapped and enjoyed as long as you remember
And make more memories.
Share them
Your gems

Onyx trees viewing the shades gently exploding and aligning above them as if reaching out.

Not in translation
In acceptance
The only constant is change
If you stay set in your ways
If you don't carry on when life gives you bumps
Open your heart and your mind
Keep learning life is a classroom
Not in schools or universities
Yesterday once more is a memory
Each day you get the opportunity to make a difference
The size of it does not matter just contribute to the world
Getting lost within yourself serves no purpose
You might get surprised
It is not about Baby Boomers.Generation x y z.Millennials
etc
Cultural,tradition,and joy
Celebrate before it is too late
Getting lost

serves no purpose because you may never get found

Attempts don't count
Giving up not an option
Almost there
The moments add up
Some don't stay tbe course
They change so much
Unrecognizable
Too busy to give you their time
Maybe you are getting there
You will climb that mountain
One way or another
Maddy Oct 2019
Today's term for letting go and getting on with life.
Tbree strikes you're out is my measuring stick
You grieve and mourn the loss in different way
Go through it and be done
Then you wish them well and enjoy every second without the burden of toxicity around you
If you are ghosting just set yourself and them free
You fly higher and sleep soundly

They are suspect
If you don’t take
Givers need not apply
Sorry folks takers are not my speed
They are an accident waiting to happen
Narcissistic beings need not apply
Giving feels right
We need to do so much more
Taking feels like a lie

The words are calling
But I am not  answering
Have something to say
Need to jot it before it melts away
Give me a pen
I have a dream
It’s so much more than it might seem
So much more to say
Will the words return and find their way
This is why
This is now
Just do it
No need to explain how
Until time ends
Give me a pen

Mother Nature and her children still stops her in her tracks
Makes you want to share it and give back
Movies move her to tears
Some lyrics start the flow
Stop crying or I’ll give you a reason to cry
You never took the time to listen ir want to know why
How jaded and cold can one be?
Narcissism is your goddess
Others don’t really matter
Put yourself second best
Wasn’t worried about the rest
Wanted to give up
Never areason to try
Give you a reason to cry
Give you a reason to cry
Maybe that is why rainbowchaser seeks a deeper truth
Not a lie

You can talk the talk
You can walk the walk
You can reach for a star
You have to start where you are

Hope you find it
Hope it finds you

Go on
With your drama
With your conditional love
With whatever pleases you and makes you happy
Cause it is all about you always will be
Forgiving you isn’t possible
Haven’t got time for the pain or grief any longer
Won’t go back there or go there again
As others give Thanks today
My Thanks is realizing that life goes on
And you will find it goes on without me

The Past is a learning curve
Don't dwell in what was
Time to enjoy
What that is up to you but do it
Regrets are useless
No need to embellish
We have all been there
Sometimes with frierds and loved ones.
Sometimes on your own
Happiness,Joy.The Very Best of Everything Always
Going Forward

Writing on a work break
Well known coffee shop drinking iced tea in December
You can mean well
Have no ulterior motives
Things don't always work out

So you lead by example
Going it alone until the dream comes true

Her green and gold leaves flow like Rapunzel's on this mild December day
You could almost climb those tresses
She welcomes the Blue Jays as they find a seat on her limbs
She sways on the breeze and watches cars and shoppers around her
Hope they stop to notice just how lovely she really is
Thanks for letting me get to know you

Not so long
Not farewell
No more memories
Too many nightmares during the day
You are toxic
Too needy
Demanding
Guess you never know until it is too late
Wishing you very well but after all
It is Goodbye

Will no longer enable
Not your therapist
Not your sibling
Sometimes caring too much lands you in a place you would rather not be familiar with
May your troubles be few
You crossed the line and friends know when and how to cross it
Given the uncertainty we live in now
My last attempt and reuniting showed me the truth
Goodbye and keep your distance
You are a user and giving to you is problematic and dangerous

C@rainbowchaser2020
Maddy Aug 2020
There is nothing more that can be done
Thank you and there are no memories to be made any longer
It is your body laying there but not your mind or the one we knew
Even if you rally, time is no longer on your side
We should be grateful for your life and all the time you were here with us
No matter friend or family sitting there helps some but not others
The tears come and go like the seasons change
Time is never good for the last said goodbyes especially in the current world we live in
So close your eyes in peace and say Goodbye with no pain
The world's loss was our gain
We will always remember and keep you in our hearts
Looking forward to the butterflies and purple flowers

If you are losing a loved one in hospice, this is for you,
Maddy Oct 2018
Half of my life was spent with you
Thought there was so much more to do
Truth is that it isn’t there
Perhaps it can’t be seen
Maybe I no longer see it
Caring about you will always be there
Too many other soldiers in this Army
Your essence is somewhat gone
Your star doesn’t shine like it used to do
Perhaps it is time to say Goodbye
Make room for the others
Time to go

Hope this is temporary and the blues are here for a short visit.

His ears have turned a deafening read
They can't listen any longer
You could phone it all in but alas wouldn't matter
The help you need doesn't come from a bottle not a refrigerator door
What you need is so much more
Heed the words of concern  and care all around you
Until you decide to get real and do the very best you can with help and support
Tough love
Goodbye, so long, Farewell

Life is too short
The cliche is true
Depends on one's interpretation and perspective
Life is too long if you are not living it to the utmost or living large as they say
Like to think you did
Like to think that you cherished every moment  and enjoyed the zest
Hopefully your dark times found the light to take the edge off quickly
As we celebrate your departure,though the tears will take a while to subside
When those rainy days come by we will remember
we won't

remember the goodbyes
We will remember every Hello that was precious and few

Such lovely Spring weather you gave us
Mixed with rain, wind, and tornadoes which is very strange for the East Coast
Why turn the Big Apple and New Jersey into applesauce the inedible kind that over cooked and slimed on your oven
The shorter and darker days are not welcoming when we just turned the clocks back and yearn for March to turn them forward again
Seems you run through your day just to enjoy the sunshine or natural light
Syncopated thuds of rain on a deck or on the ground accompanied by the clacking of keyboards on Cyber Monday
UPS,Amazon , and other delivery services braving the downpour and thunder as well as the multitude of orders
As a November girl it is hard to say goodbye but we must welcome December
Waiting for the days to be longer and brighter again amid all we are still dealing with

In your arms, the smiles and the tears come easy
The kisses and cuddles are the very best breakfast
There is a comfort and joy after all this time that makes any delight seem minimal
This is it
Lunch, dinner and by far dessert , the very best
No matter where we are
No matter what hiccup or road block challenges us
Good Morning my love
Good Morning

He died before I was born.
Seen old photos but they didn't speak much of him.
Like family lore some stories conflict.
He liked to cook and so do I
Squirrels sat on his shoulders and ate nuts from his hands and pockets.
I never get that close but once a week when time permits they get fresh roasted unsalted nuts.
Some times they look my way as if to say Thanks.
Never knew him but somehow, named after him.
I am Grandpa's girl

The love of my life is still the best person ever to walk by my side
My book will soon be published and have this site to Thank
You gave me the courage to keep writing and will everyday
Keeping two people close to my heart who are dealing with great pain and suffering
When you gather today with friends and loved ones
Remember to be grateful and Thankful
The precious gems are not worn on your body or to embellish you
Those in your life are your gems
They always shine brightly
Not everyone is so lucky
Grateful

Unless my music is with me
Today a delightful surprise accompanied me
Four stunning and elegant swans out of no where
Spring is on her way
Thanks Mother Nature

we never knew all five feet tall of you
the stories older cousins shared made you come alive once
more
until recently we didn't know of them
we are cousins of cousins
you were the little old lady in black in a photo album
albeit my parent's wedding album
then you emerged in photos shared that we had never seen before
someday the entire story will be told
For now we have second and third cousins because you had nine children
One of which was my grandmother
My father never spoke of you but the others are letting me know you through their memories

Moment of Nature on CBS Sunday morning needs to be an hour long
Grebes are Aquatic diving birds
Please don’t mistake for ducks
Some fly
Some flightless
Amazing to watch
Similar to flamingoes but smaller
They are stunning dancers
Passionate and dynamic lovers
This moment will stay with me for awhile
Hope to see them and marvel in person one day
Just lovely to admire
Maddy Aug 2023
He is the Love of my Life
My best friend and life partner
We have been through inside out and upside down together
How you grew to hate him is beyond me.
Your toxic nature and narcissistic tendencies might explain it
What you do for one child you do for another
Taking sides and favoritism doesn't work and should never happen
Guess you never really knew that you broke my heart
Every wedding anniversary that I celebrate it comes back at me again
I have forgiven you but will never forget

Gull Serenade
By rainbowchaser  

They wake you in Hyannis with their Ha-Ha alarm
Crying sofly and their chorus begins
Barely heard them on Martha's Vineyard  
They left their voices in Nantucket  
Yeow,yeow,yeow
Somehow echoing a sweeter serenade this time
Much needed solace,balance spirit and unity
Ha oh Ha oh Hao
LONG call
Humming and laughing  on Main Street  
Hu oh Hu oh Hu  
Hush Hush  Hush

They wake you in Hyannis with their Ha-Ha-Ha alarm
Gulls cry softly and then the chorus begins
Barely heard them on Martha’s Vineyard
Remember them inNantucket years ago
Yeow Yeow Yeow
Somehow echoing a sweeter crescendo
this time
In a time that needs solace,balance,respect,and unity
We welcome their song
Ha oh Haoh Haoh
Long all
Humming and laughing on Main Street
Huoh Huoh Huoh
