I don’t love you.
because you love me
but in spite of that.

I don’t love you.
For what you can give me
But for what I can give you.

I don’t love you.
Because your beautiful
but because with you I’m beautiful.

I don’t love you.
because your smart
but because loving you is smart.

I don’t love you.
Because my reality is that
I adore you.

Death

Death has come calling, do I let him in.
Should I greet him as I would a
Long lost friend?
Death has come calling what do I do.
Do I stand do I fight.
Do I see it through?
Death has come calling this pain is so great.
Do I fight.
Or
Do I simply set and wait?
Death has come calling.
But he’s not my friend
He’s just the fastest way to an eventual end.
Death has come calling I won’t open the door.
I will stand. I will fight.
I will tell him no more.
Death has come calling.
But I’ve turned him away.
I will stand I will fight.
I will live another day.

Comparisons

Your light I’m Dark.
Your clam and peaceful.
I’m a bit wild and rowdy.
You’re a city boy.
I’m straight off the farm
Your beer I’m Whiskey.
You’ve been chased by a rooster.
I’ve turned a rooster into a hen with one swift kick.
You deliver the goods.
I deliver piglets.
You work. I play.
You’re a saver. I’m a spender.
How we work. I don’t know.
But we do.

Whisky

Don’t underestimate me.
I may look like a cup of tea.
But
I punch a like a shot of whisky.

When *** was fun

When we were young *** was just fun.
Anywhere, anyway, anytime you could play,
you played.
Some of us paid and some of us got away.
But if you could play you played.

When we were young and *** was exciting.
You’d play anywhere, anyway any chance you got.
If you could play you played.
I never believed there would be a day,
when I’d say don’t mess my hair.

Irish Gypsy

I’m Irish-Gypsy lass I’m a bit different.
I’m a little wild. I’m a whole lotta rowdy.
I’m loud and sarcastic.
I’m an opinionated, passionate Redhead.
I’ve been called stubborn and times a handful.
Just to set the record straight I’m not stubborn I’m right
I am truly a handful but I’m also a heartful.
I have demons but I love hard.
And my love roars louder than any Demon.
I dance whenever, wherever the mood strikes me.
Be it the Park, grocery store, parking lot, my seat at the coffee shop.
I’m Irish like that.
I have the right to remain silent.
But being Irish I don’t have ability.
I’m blessed with the Irish gift of gab.
I like my Whiskey, Irish and on the rocks.
I like my cuppa tea like I like my men strong and sweet.
I like kisses long and deep.
I was raised with Irish proverbs, Tarot cards and palm reading.
I believe in God and the church.
And
I believe in the magic of the Faeries and Leprechauns.
I love the feel of moss and the scent of the trees.
I’m Irish-Gypsy flawsome.
Curves and sass straight whisky in a glass.

**** Love

What are these feelings ?
I'm bewildered.
I'm bemused.
I'm befuddled.
I'm bewitched.
Oh ****...…..
I'm in Love.
