MY THOUGHTS
Hi, and welcome to my Thoughts in writing page. I am NOT a poetess for there are far too many out there capable of real poetry. I just have too many thoughts bouncing thru my small brain so feel the need to write them down ... ~grin~ !!! Hope you enjoy ...
End Of My World
Who is here to wipe my tears,
to hold my hand, erase my fears?
Who is here to hold me tight,
and embrace me through the night?
Who is here to share my dreams,
my hopes, my silly little schemes?
Who from my soul the laughter stole
and from my heart the song that tolled?
Who promised love and support forever?
Then changed his mind and left me severed
from his thoughts, his future, his life ...
and left me a mere shell of mother and wife?
Who holds your trust now, your secrets, your heart?
Whose smile do you share when we are apart?
Without the imprint of years, wrinkled and grey
and worry lines of motherhood that are here to stay?
My life is in shambles, totally shattered,
my heart and my future torn and battered.
I offered you all that I had to share
but it wasn't enough ... you just didn't care !!

Reaching Out
I awaken each morn
only wishing to sleep ...
my dreams from me savagely torn.
I desire to see
so open my eyes ...
but now what I see isn't me.
I yearn to feel
and reach out to touch ...
yet from life's possibilities I reel.
I ache to care for
those who care about me ...
but can't find the key to the door.
I long to cry
but feel no emotion inside ...
it's almost as if I've already died.
Depression has seized
the life I once loved ...
Can anyone hear my pleas??

Last Chapter
Come, share this last chapter of life with me,
And together we'll discover how life should be.
Write it with tenderness, laughter and love,
Append it with trust and faith from above.
Begin each new page with a smile and embrace,
Endear a song to my heart that cannot be erased.
Scribble in your hopes, your dreams, and your fears
And allow me to expose your smiles and your tears.
Never turn the page harboring anger or sorrow
For if not settled today, will only fester tomorrow
And rip at the seams of our relationship's binding
Wasting page after page of precious new findings.
And when at last this chapter is complete,
The cover is closed, no memories to delete,
I'll close my eyes, my last breath took,
And wait for you to scribe our heavenly book.

The Forgotten Promise
You promised to love me til death we did part,
So I entrusted you with all the love in my heart.
I gave you my hopes, my dreams, my life,
Yet you only took time to fill them with strife.
My heart which once sang is now crusted with sorrow,
No hopes and no dreams are left for tomorrow.
My life has no soul, no future, no song,
I replay the memories and ask what went wrong?
The mirror now reflects the years that you took
My life yellowed and worn like pages of an old book.
So many chapters wasted on a promise once made,
I pray the vow is not forgotten ... nor eternally betrayed.

ALONE AGAIN
Alone and afraid, barely able to face another day.
But alas, the sunshine graces the morning
so I'll paste on my smile and start anew
burying the sorrow til once again I can wallow
in being alone and afraid !!!

Virginity's Seduction
She initiates her illustrious seduction through the night,
enveloping the earth in her velvet arms of white.
Embellishing hills and valleys in illusory diamonds sparkling bright
beneath the moon's romantic blush of illuminating light.
To the music of the wind, she performs her glorious dance.
She whirls and twirls uninhibited for now she deems her chance
to mesmerize the earth into an icy, glistening trance
hoping to enrapture with an impassioned, longing glance.
She tenderly arouses with placid tapping on the pane
by glimmering slivers of ice; attention to attain.
She teases til no longer from the lust can one abstain
to savor the virginity of transcendent snowflakes once again.

Always In My Heart
Although we know it is now time we must part,
You will always abide deep in my heart.
We wanted, needed to know we once more could care
But our broken lives were not free to share.
You have held my hand now for so many years,
While sharing my laughter or drying my tears.
You breathed new life when I thought mine was done,
And brightened the light when I could see none.
You believed in my strength when I felt weak,
Or listened with your heart when I needed to speak.
You encouraged me to catch a falling star
To kindle the path to my dreams so afar.
Now, when I'm feeling down or blue,
I will awaken my secret memories of you.
Our music, reflections, caring, or sorrows
As I pray for happiness in all your tomorrows.
