"latrice" poems
the words I could use
to retaliate
but there is no need

You are one of them...
the main one... but,
one of them just the same
so, don't trip...
and don't ask... and I won't
just do what You came to do and go
no time to Love
no want for Love
at least that is
what Your mouth says...
so, I now treat You as You treat Me
I Love You
at least that is
what My mouth says

Kissy Lips
Kissing lips
Kissing My lips
Tea Lights
Merlot last night
Moscato 2night
Kissing Lips
again
and again
and...
then...
5am
Kissing lips
breathlessly
coming up for air...
Your presence
Our moments...
so very
necessary...
(You know who U are...)

This Earth where We Live
Is a gift from The Most High
We seem ungrateful

Good morning Love,
I had a great night
Your kisses
Your touches
the scent of Your cologne
the words We exchanged in whispers
breathless whispers
Good morning Love,
Exhausted
after the candles
were blown out
and We were worn out
Your phone buzzed and
buzzed again
It lit the ceiling on the nightstand
on the side of the bed where You
slept
730am
Your phone buzzed again
but,
this time Your were in
the shower
I got out first
and curiosity got the best of Me
I had to see who
and why
but
deep down inside
I knew
it was Your wife
usually You don't spend an
entire night
here
with Me
Good Morning LoveR.

All I have is U
U are not conditional
U are eternal
Faith
I would be fronting to say that
My Faith had never wavered
now I hold on as tight
as I can
to U
My Faith
no giving up
no excuses
drying My tears
rebuking My fears
holding on
to U
My Faith

I have to
leave you
to wallow in your house
and fast fancy cars
your upper class misery
your self-inflicted loneliness
you are too damaged
to Love Me
and the Me of 42 is not
the her of 22
I can't settle
I won't settle for the
flighty and angry-
you
Blessed beyond measure -
you
hateful and hurting-
you
done dealing with that-
Me
Goodbye.

Hello?
I hear your voice
saying absolutely nothing
you seem to live in your
in your mind
and there are only few that are
invited
I didn't ask for the invitation
Truth be told, in My mind,
you didn't meet My criteria
I choose to loose Myself
of your torture
your wicked definition of Love
I choose to Love them better than You
chose to Love Me
Hello?
Why are you calling again?
I'm sideways in a ditch of Life's
obstacles
I am fortunate that others
see that I need
a little push
a little prayer
Are you of some relation to Me?
papers say that you are
Yet something in your concrete heart
tells you that you are not
Hello?

at this point,
I am
far from a pessimist
I have many days
past and present
contemplated
My existence
My worth
My future
as hard as it sometimes will be
or has been
I hang on TIGHT
to My wits,
to My dreams
to My Faith
Intangible
yet valuable
They are the beat
of My heart
when sinister
self-destructive
thoughts
attempt to
infiltrate
My mind
causing Me
to focus
on the lack
rather than
the abundance
I snap out of it
and then with all of My might
hunker down
pray
and
hang on TIGHT
(**and recite: Romans 8:28)

It's a New Year with a new list
No wine and wasn't kissed
Same person?
time's passing
fighting fears
Can I do it
Do I have time?
The only thing to do is
to do it
No excuses
make a list
launch!!
Go!!
Grow!
365 days
365 nights
Fit it in
Run
Study
Live and Laugh
and Love others
and Love Yourself
New Year with a new list
What You do with this Year
is up to You

I have no answers...
only speculation for the situations
the progression of the demise
The why
the when
the who and how
the what
I wish I knew
but I don't
so I go forth
one foot in front of the other
Questions aplenty
No answers at all to why
My Life is the way that it is

I had to secure My things
Locks and keys
those locks and keys
did not give Me true security
I was still robbed
and in now in utter disbelief,
I can now throw away the locks and keys...
and You can Rest in Peace

This is She
the One you shun
the weird and artistic one
now embracing My worth
My beauty
this is She
writer and maker of things
Lover of Peace
Mother
that's She
Good heart
full of gifts
blonde via bottle
bronzed
sun-kissed
by God'
still learning
student of Life and university
no refunds
no cheat sheets
Me
dig Me or don't
I am Her
This is She
the One
called
to speak and do and share
your loss
I am cool being Me

Insecure u are
this Me is by far
NOT THE ONE
that I started out as
finally
I accept Me
veggie-eater
no meat for Me
Blond curly fro
I Love Me
just as I am
I am unscathed
now
by the whispers
My weird is cool with Me
Come and join Me
I feel sooooo
FREE
42years old.

His kisses still feel the same
This time, will You stay?

Welcome to My heart,
You beautifully tortured soul
I feel as if I am to Love You
Even though I barely know You
You want to save Me from hurt
and I want to save You from pain
the hurt and pain of Our pasts...
I can't let You go... not right now...
not right now.

In My mind, he is all Mines
I am in Love with everything about him
This is not some new young puppy love
type of infatuation
Here We are this time older
some gray hairs
this time aches and pains
the *** and the laughter
are still the same
but better
I want all of him
all of the time
one day
maybe more
than this
part-time thing
the flutter in My heart is still there
the Love
still there
his **** voice
still makes Me lie still beside him
and just listen to him speak...
I enjoy this
but now need more than
this
But, until or if the time
ever comes that he realizes that he
is the only one for Me
I will
Live in and Love him in
the moments that I have
him in My presence
and when he is not
physically
here
My Love for him will be.
