| More poetry (copyrighted by Amy E. Bender) Hope (1996) I look at you and see great sadness. I too have felt sorrow, yet, I am learning to let go if the pain. I am realizing that there has been great joy also. The thing that I must remmeber is that I am a survivor, and that I am willing to heal. Willing to let go of my pain, understand why it caused so much pain, and let go of it. I have learned that I am strong. I have become enpowered, I have changed... I am triumphant!!! Last night (1994?) I shivered all last night, trying to find a place where I could feel the warmth of your love, the touch of your lips, your warm embrace and smiling face, I so very often miss. I thought all night last night, trying to collect, all our dreams and lifetime plans, our futures that we'd guessed. I couldn't find a thing, not until I was with you, then it was there that I found everything, and all my dreams came true. "Lover Man" (1997?) Lover man dream come true, can't ever keep my mind off you. Lover man strong and kind, when we love you blow my mind. Lover man hold my hand, Lover, won't you be my man? Sweet and wild, soft and true, I knew I'd fall in love with you. Hold my hand as we walk through the rain, laugh with me, share my pain. Dry my tears and I'll dry yours in these morning and midnight hours. Lover man won't you listen? I will show you what you're missing. All the love a girl can bring, I will give you everything. You entertain with cricus smiles and in your eyes I see the child. We never know what time may bring, perhaps someday I'll wear a ring. Fairytale or dream come true, Lover Man where are you? Please note: Although these poems are old, they are a part of me and my past. I may not feel the same as I did back then but they are still very much a part of who I was at the time. I haven't done much writing lately, but will post more if I do. Thanks! |
