Woman don't cry

I hear you but the less behind the smiles reveal trials unseen by the naked eye. The whys and what  ifs begin to sniff around my existence. Empty tear ducts pluck at my heart strings as I sing dingy melodies of a name that tune song.I made the wrong turn somewhere and ended up nowhere yet everywhere I turned signaled wrong way. If I stay in this place I'll erase my future before it is written...

forgiving a cheater

I read this article about forgiving a love affair..http://www.love-sessions.com/forgiving_affair.htm .It was very interesting but I do not think I am sold on that fact. An affair does something to trust that I don't know if I could ever come to grips with. I think I would forever have doubts in the back of my mind. I would always wonder if they would do it again, are they being honest, etc. I think I would make myself miserable and it just wouldn't make for a happy relationship for either of us. Maybe it is just me but I believe that if you truly love someone, there shouldn't be a need for an affair because if there are issues then you communicate and work towards resolving them. I would be able to forgive but then I think I would have to move on...

when the rain comes

rain will always come. It is how we react to the rain that will make all the difference. you're going to get wet anyway so you can dance in the rain and embrace it, or you can let it beat you down. use the rain... let it help you restore, refresh, and cleanse your current situation. kick off your shoes and splash in life's puddles. doesn't the rain seem much better now?

The best times...

Some times the best times are the most simple times. spending the day doing what you love, spending time with people you love, or just doing absolutely nothing at all. sometimes we move so fast that we miss the simple things. do not let life pass you by. take time to stop and smell the roses.

Relationships are like glass.

Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken

than hurt yourself trying to put them back together.

This This is so True!

So many times we fight to keep something together that should be left separated. In relationships that we have put our heart and soul into, it is difficult to just walk away. I believe this is why some relationships end badly. Both parties might start to resent each other. We know when a relationship is over but for whatever reason we think something is going to change and we stay. Let go of the resentment, the anger and move on! I know it is not simple...

Angry at me, angry at you, angry at we

be it known that I can’t see

me doing this you and I thing

with this ring I do not wed

You’re in my head

Residing in my brain Bubbling over like champagne

Thoughts of you Never ceases to be

Dingy melodies

Playing a name that tune song

Please believe

I need you gone

This emotional rollercoaster

You have me on

Stops here

I am breaking the monotony

Of how things used to be

You behaving badly

Me not seeing clearly

You not being worthy

Of my love

You see

No more eyes wide shut

You’ve been cut

Voted off my island

No more but…

But…

But…

Baby please

It wasn’t me

Be

It as it may

Though you say

It wasn’t you

Just know for sure

It isn’t me

It’s done

We’re through

Just continue

To do what you do

As I unglue

Unscrew

And undo

You from me

As I review

The issue

And renew the venue

From you to me

Don’t miss my debut

It’s a must see

I know you’ll agree

It’s bye-bye birdie for me

Saying it loud

I’m free and I’m proud

No more dark cloud

Hanging

Hovering

I remain unbowed

I refuse to break

So pump your brakes

For peace sake

I will not take

You down the road

You tried to take me

I know I’m owed

At least one apology.

If that one never comes

Never to grace my eardrums

No matter what the outcome

I won

Game over

More over

I’m free from you

Free from we

Free in Him!

you got me

You got me

Totally
Un-Inhibited
Free to love
You with a hatred
That continues to grow.
I know
I should re-evaluate
How I participate
In relations with you
I drew
A picture of us that became abstract
I couldn’t subtract
You from me
Leaving whelps like switches from a tree
Painfully obvious
Though I was oblivious
I must unscrew and undo you from me
Romance turned tragedy
No Rhapsody
To put a smile on my face
So I replaced the space
You occupied
As you lied
Your way into my heart
Apart
From the physical
You were incapable
Of reaching my hidden places
Lost embraces
Haunt my existence
But your persistence
Kept me chasing
An ever erasing
Dream that wasn’t worth my time
Like an online
Hotwire hotel rental
Causing me mental
Turmoil not knowing what I get
Betting
On a 5 star relationship for a 2 star price
Becoming as irritating as a head of lice
Hard to get rid of but easy to get
And I let
You become a piece of me
So I made a plea
Bargain to regain my consciousness
The less
I intertwined your love with mine
The better
No Dear John letter
No kiss goodbye
So why
Do you still dictate my hate?
I would love to love you with my all
But after being shocked and appalled
By your actions
My fractions
Never would add up
And I drank from your bitter cup
And instead of swiss miss
I sip
Ginger tea to relieve me
Of the upset stomach you left
And fill the cleft
In my life
So I no longer gripe
About you cause I’m through
With wasting moments
That don’t make sense
To anyone and everyone
And the pun
In this game we play
Takes away
From the realness of the situation
And my occupation
Resides
In the strides
I am making
By taking
The pieces that fell apart
And creating a fresh start
In my new world
Creating pearls
From dust
I trust
In my ability to bounce back
As I pack
Memories of us into a box and fed ex
It to the next
Country over
No longer drunk but sober
I bent but did not break
I now know what it takes
To create an atmosphere
That doesn’t interfere
With how I live my life.
You got me!

Keeper or Sports fish

Which one are you? Nothing cracked me up more than watching Kevin Hart do his thing on the big screen. My face actually hurt when it was all said and done. When the laughter stopped, reality set in. It really makes you evaluate your present relationship.So this is my question to you...Are you a keeper or a sports fish. Has he introduced you  to his friends and family? Does he support you and does everything he can to make your life better? Are you a priority in his life? According to Mr. Harvey, if you answered no to any of those...you might just be a sports fish. Take the time to make sure that your Mr. Right is more than just for right now...unless that is what you are desiring.Make a man appreciate you for who you are and never settle for anything less than you deserve. Many men do what we allow them to. Set your standards (not too high that no one can reach it) and do not compromise your beliefs, values, or morals. Be complete and allow someone to compliment you. Love yourself and expect only the best for you. Do not let anyone define who you are. Keep your head up! If you are a keeper, love the one your with to the fullest. If you are a sports fish, make some changes!

Words are powerful!

I  read a quote today and it said that words can either pollute or purify. It went on to say that once spoken they can never be taken back! This is one of the greatest truths out there. Being a poet, I know that my words must be chosen carefully. I never know how it might affect any of my listeners. Not that I am censoring myself but that my words are used to build up rather than tear down.

All kinds of words
some heard some verbal
some smooth like herbal green tea
and for me
words saved my life...

...its refreshing to see action words meet up with adverbs
and nouns click with adjectives
while verbs live harmoniously with subject and predicate....

...words can speak life or death
give breath or kill slowly like meth
whatever your words are
do not let it mar your purpose
target below the surface
to reach those that are lying and dying
in bad words....
