Words of Art

This is something one of my cafemom groups does...they post a picture and you're supposed to use it as inspiration...I normally skip these particular challenges because the pictures rarely inspire me, however this one did...so I wrote this:

I kissed your skin

so soft and smooth

you smelled like hope,

and faith renewed

I laid you down,

in night's cocoon

and prayed to God

that you'd be found

What It Would Be Like

I always imagined

your kiss

I dreamed of how it would feel

something like the refreshing

blow of a summer breeze

the cleansing rain

after a hot day

the sunshine

after a devastating hurricane

I prayed the taste

as sweet as strawberries

husky and unbridled male

so erotic and breathtaking

I lose my senses

just thinking of it.

New Beginnings - A Poem

Nobody ever said it was easy,

Everyone said it would hurt

What I wouldn't give to have listened

Been told a time or two

Every go ‘round

Gets harder with each passing try

I thought I knew it all

Now I'm the one who's lost

Never thought it would hurt this bad

I want to let you go

Never want to feel this way again

Gotta get out

Start over again

I need a new beginning

And only I can give it to myself

Marital Discord

Neither of us is sleeping

Lying back to back

Blood shot eyes are weeping

The place from which we are

We both question

How we fell so far

Eyes drying up now

They weep no more

As we both reach for

The bedroom door

Faces pale

Skin ablaze

We speak no more

Distant memories trapped in haze

So say goodbye and close your eyes...

Wait

The nights not over

We've still got time

For one last kiss;

A long goodbye

A weighted heart

Leaps at joy

As it realizes it, too, will miss

A long hot shower

And loud called sharing

Footsteps trodden at an earthy door

It begs its keep, a lover's farewell

Pleads to keep

And make it well

Eyes are closing

They see no more

Loves unending journey

Has closed the door

I am by no means a poet but sometimes the mood strikes and I have to write something down that is so weird it makes no sense to any one besides me...this is one of those things. For those who don't understand here is a run down of my nonsense

These are words about two people who are in a relationship and its just not working despite how hard they've tried to make it work. But the person speaking wants it to work, or at least she thinks she does, but the truth is they've both gotten so far from where they were that don't even know one another anymore. So they do the best thing they can, they say good bye and move on. 

Make sense?

Creativity on the Fly

I'm burning a cd..here's a little diddy based on the titles of the songs I'm burning

I never knew I'd need you now

I never knew this was all we'd ever need

I'm begging you please, don't walk away

I won't enjoy the silence

I  know I always said happiness is overrated

but baby that attitude is long gone

and as you walk away

I  can't take my eyes off you

I want to shout "stop"

Heaven's only a breath away

we can get there little by little

so I run to you

and ignore the things people say

I  hope I'll be the wings that keep your heart in the clouds

even when this is long gone

because nothing but a miracle

will make you see

that one day you will be the one

to erase this soundtrack to my broken heart

together, you and I

we're going

down

lolz..that was fun :)

I Still Miss You

I check the email; check the phone

All subtle reminders that you're really gone

I sit and wait

wonder where you are

I gaze at the sky

and constantly dry my eyes

Heavy on my heart

they weigh on my mind

all the times I left you

all the times I lied

but what hurts the most

is never having been able

to say goodbye

Mistake

It was all a mistake

the phone call

the email

none of it is real

I refuse to believe

you were here yesterday

and today you're gone

I won't believe

I won't accept

It was all a mistake

You can never be replaced

RIP my friend.

Miss You

Miss the you

I thought I knew

no longer red,

my heart beats blue

tingly toes

falling asleep

wish my heart

would just not beat

changing scenes

I know no more

forced my old self out the door

miss you

lying on the floor

close my eyes

and see no more
