"loooong" poems - Hello Poetry

I’m on my way… to my own personal… on the inside… Celebration… ya know? Cuz I realized… I already did the tuffest jobs I’ll ever do… I done raised my kids… loved my loves… bumped my head… learned my lessons… fought my fights… forgiven my foes… and finally…finally… forgiven… my… self.. And I’ve come far… A long loooong way… But I know I still got a long way to go… So I just might get me a push-up bra… and a low-cut blouse… And maybe a weave… and some New Journey shoes… For my new journey.. some new high heels will Certainly do… Heels high enuf to make my Thighs stand out… and My ankle turn just so... and My Hips sway when I step… and My skirt tail snap when I pass… and When I pass… I’ma give a little look over my shoulder… like this… So you can see… That I saw you see me… But I’m just gon give a LITTLE look Cuz I can’t look BACK For TOO long! See, I might be tempted to TURN back… An try to re-do somethin’… or explain somethin’... or fix somethin’… or cry over somethin’… And I’ve just plain come too far!!! Baby… I’ve Come too far to turn back now… And still got a long long way to go… Come Too Far To Turn Back Now Carla Marie 2012

Come Too Far To Turn Back Now

I’m on my way… to my own personal… on the inside… Celebration… ya know? Cuz I realized… I already did the tuffest jobs I’ll ever do… I done raised my kids… loved my loves… bumped my head… learned my lessons… fought my fights… forgiven my foes… and finally…finally… forgiven… my… self.. And I’ve come far… A long loooong way… But I know I still got a long way to go… So I just might get me a push-up bra… and a low-cut blouse… And maybe a weave… and some New Journey shoes… For my new journey.. some new high heels will Certainly do… Heels high enuf to make my Thighs stand out… and My ankle turn just so... and My Hips sway when I step… and My skirt tail snap when I pass… and When I pass… I’ma give a little look over my shoulder… like this… So you can see… That I saw you see me… But I’m just gon give a LITTLE look Cuz I can’t look BACK For TOO long! See, I might be tempted to TURN back… An try to re-do somethin’… or explain somethin’... or fix somethin’… or cry over somethin’… And I’ve just plain come too far!!!

open up first sip burning its relaxing i look out into the dark night, it's cold how did I get to this point again? no, I don't care, i just take a loooong sip, sip, sip, i like getting warmer it's not as lonely. i recently read that drink ing tea is a cure for loneliness because it imitates human warmth, even though just sip, siiip, for temporary time is'nt that just pathetic? swallow, burn, warmth, rinse siipp and repeat. cold air freezes, freesses frees me! the bottle is my best friend and sihps, now even my best friend is hollow wat a shaym, sh amme, shame

one little thing at a time ...and bring a pen. I feared i might sober up and there wouldn't be much to write, but slowing down to take a look, moving at the pace of life, not rushing it, but taking it as it is, seems so much more now to jot down, I can hardly keep up with pen. This is where the real poetry is, and where it's always been... Those loooong Journeys cross-countries by foot, and deeper still, on more spiritual quests within. Strolling along without worry or care, relying on faith without understanding of a godlike dose of "luck" that seems ta always just, be here. The poetry is in the moment when it's written, where it's found, life exciting, breathing, be still and witness it all around.

Out, and deep in, take

The sun sinks Beneath the trees Waving its last goodbye It's been a loooong day The mellow orange hues Blending with the pale pink shades A picturesque scene To end my day I gaze out Watching its beauty fade Wishing my pain Will diminish too

The sunset today

The sun sinks Beneath the trees Waving its last goodbye It's been a loooong day The mellow orange hues Blending with the pale pink shades A picturesque scene To end my day I gaze out Watching its beauty fade Wishing my pain Will diminish too

My Dearest Daughter, This is in hopes that throughout these last loooong month... you may find me here. I am and will ALWAYS continue to fight. As I KNOW the battle you are waging there. My thoughts are NEVER far away from you. Waiting for that final day in April. You were born @ 4:18am. Expect my call @4:19am... Or sooner...
