    Here’s one I wrote just this morning for Jean S. while I was finishing up creating this blog. My poem fits the theme here too, and it will help to jump start the creative flow.

    With my heart and soul
    I have opened up to you
    and to you only.

    Your Spirit calls me
    without mercy I am drawn
    your essence fills me.

    I am overwhelmed
    lost in the ocean of love
    found with your arms.

    Too tired to do a PnP 😆

    :love:

    I used to think it mattered
    I actually used to care
    Your actions used to hurt me
    But still I had a prayer.

    That prayer has turned to blessings
    Which come from up above
    No longer do I yearn
    To share with you my love.

    For now I know you are incapable
    Of loving any other
    I wonder if you ever loved
    Even your dear mother.

    All you do is use people
    Whenever it suits your fancy
    But I am through being hurt by you
    I’d rather go out dancing.

    My love has turned to pity
    For I know there is much more
    When the time comes for you to transition
    You will have so much in store.

    You never learned your lesson
    I wish you better luck next time
    Living with love in your heart
    Is the only mountain to climb.

    So now I say goodbye to you
    It is time to journey on
    I hope you learn to live with love
    Before your time is gone.

    Across The Miles in Rhyme

    The potential start of something new

    a bond that’s shared between me and you

    Love that surpasses any known to man

    transcends through us no matter where we stand

    flowing freely making life magical

    heart and soul connecting – truly unconditional.

    Many times we worry and too often cry

    forgetting we’re under God’s all watchful eye

    the times we share strengthen and renew

    multidimensional from friendship it grew

    on a special journey both me and you

    to share, learn and teach in all we do

    obligations may lead us in different directions

    but our thoughts can take us to our favorite locations.

    May your health be at it’s best

    your heart at rest

    your voice filled with laughter

    that nothing human can shatter

    May the heavens fill your life with love

    out-shining all that’s past

    May you have unending blessings

    that have never been surpassed

    May the Spirit fill your soul

    and inspiration always flow

    that others may have a chance to share

    the Grace you’ve come to know

    In Love & Light a Blessing I’m sending

    Unconditional love that’s never-ending.

    HOUSE OF CARDS

    The way my life
    Is to day
    It seems as
    Everything is falling apart
    The more that I do
    More needs doing
    No one seems
    To think That I need
    A days rest
    Everything is me
    Cookin cleanin carin doing no stoppin
    Every turn is mine
    When days end come
    Um to tire to sleep
    Just toss and turn
    Till day break come
    To hot to rest
    Even wit the air on
    Me and my hot flashes gotta run
    Hollow all day
    Then night
    Every body lookin at me
    When will it all end
    My house of cards is so fallin down
    And um wonderin will I be next
    Tire tire
    Oh where is the rest
    My poor body is fragile
    Yet I keep going

    summer landsummer pictures\\
    In the cold dreary night I was watching ellipse the twilight saga .
    I’ve seen it several times and it always gets my mind boggled .
    When he brakes her heart it feels a emptiness inside mine.
    For the pain of losing my love still reins in time.
    I remember the hurt .
    My body crawled up like a fetus.
    The tears coming pouring through the fast river of dirt.
    I clenched my heart so tight it hurt.
    I was numbed for months.
    The pain so real still this day it sink my soul inside.
    A black hole remains to still die.
    Its been months now and I give life one hell of try.
    But that brief moment my world clasped I became lost forever.
    True love is hard to find hold tight ole so tight.

    depressiondepression y soledad pictures

    I feel stuck in a prison in this house.
    To afraid to move out.
    Afraid of losing all I have.
    I feel sad cause I cant take a chance to step out and change.
    Its rains tears after tears .
    Sleeping beauty I have become.
    I have become numb inside my soul.
    Sitting here watching the year fly by.
    Losing site of me I cant fly.
    Depression has come into site.
    It has left me blinded by the day and night.
    I can hear my soul begging for the light.
    But I have been captured by the darkness in my mind.
    My spirit feels so cold.
    And I am getting to old.
    Chances are slim for me.
    So I am told.
    I’m scared of the sorrow deep inside of me.
    For it has hinder all I should be.
    All I can do is barely breath life into me.
    I wind my self up just to see the darkness breath.
    I wake up to a dead soul.
    I watch my life unfold.
    Into the darkness it goes.

    In life we try , but not everything turns out all right.
    No matter the love behind the known.
    And if I could dream of the day going away.
    Id would just sleep and forget about my sad songs ways.
    I am sleeping in a bed of fire my heart has issues .

    I am feeling so midnight dark blue .
    I tasted the lover’s magic.
    Now my soul has become numb.
    With in these four lonely walls he does not come.
    He is stuck on his own selfish run.
    And in my life there is no fun.

    Silent Tears run on a race.
    Today the fright rises and the fears paralyzes my mind.
    The dark soul hovers over me begging to come back into the dark side of me.

    The storm will soon start to grow.
    Issues of not knowing if not to let go.
    Forever building bridges in my spirit.
    But none strong enough to sustain the light in me.
    I am growing to a place where things I must set free.
    But where I start only heaven knows.

    Shadows in my heart watching over me.
    I am broken in 1000 pieces .
    And my world is being tore apart.
    Everything I know to be real fades within the dark.
    I am left standing on my own heart.
    Brought down on my knees going through hell for thee.
    Love should not hurt so deep.

    Promises broken ,thorns make me bleed.
    My shadows in my heart cry out to thee.
    Heaven will not open up for me.
    I’m left standing in a lover’s broken sea.

    The tides so fierce and ragging I can’t see.
    I am drowning in my own sorrow of to be.
    I am left caring for me.
    Trying to get back on my own feet.
    But this limbos got me caught in the tides.
    Within this strife I watch my thoughts drain out and die.

    I feel like I am already gone from him.
    But then I see his smile and I come back again.
    This lover’s roller coaster feels like a sin.
    And I know it will never win.
    But my heart wont change .
    I have had enough I feel like I am already gone.
    But the truth is my heart continues to hold onto his emptiness .
    Praying for something more.

    CONTENTS RARE, HANDLE WITH CARE

    touched this world gently
    not quite 2 lbs 3
    road the waves of uncertainty
    and followed their own way
    grew tough, so noting could
    penatrate the shell
    little did they know
    their cutting words
    hurt like hell
    perhaps the lable should have read
    use no hooks
    handle with care
    contents
    fragile and rare

    HEART SO FRAGILE

    Please by cautious, heart so fragile

    It’s been this way for awhile

    That fateful day, you were gone

    Heaven is now where you belong

    I had no clue it would hurt this much

    How I miss your tender touch

    At least you knew how much I care

    Now I’m left with an empty stare

    Missing you now everyday

    My fragile heart is the price I pay!

    PLEASE HANDLE WITH CARE

    Please handle with care
    this heart of mine,
    for it hasn’t, you see,
    hardened at all over time
    and it is rather fragile,
    this heart of mine.

    Please handle it with care,
    this heart of mine,
    for over the years,
    though my defenses
    have come down
    just a tiny bit,
    I’ve just begun to share
    the feelings and thoughts
    buried so far within.
    For I’ve managed to keep them
    quite under wraps
    while protecting them there
    and just every once in a while
    opening up a little bit
    to share what’s in there.

    So this heart of mine,
    for a long time silent and still
    begins to emerge and to share
    what’s been put away
    for a very long time
    and reserved for
    such times as this
    and among friends
    who truly care.

    Hello Diane and Jon one from a few years ago, a saga bout my first real love

    Basketball thats all
    Reflecting back on my younger days
    when all I did was played
    At the play ground under the hot sun
    my shadow and I gettin it on
    one on one we would go
    practice moves to put on someone for sure
    Game time up and down that court
    sweat beaming who wanted the game the most
    The touch the feel soft hands my basketball appeal
    Playin hard roughen for position
    Its my neighborhood I am representen
    The drive the scoop the dip the snatch
    basketball games back to back
    In order to stay you had to play
    for five more guys waitin to have their say
    Got to win with that spin play some defense
    make it intense
    Basketball always with me as we ride
    looking for games and victory
    Loved it so much never knew
    I was poor
    Grab my basketball out the door
    yellin more more more
