Mary's Faults
I sit staring out my window reviewing my life that has passed me by without life outside even noticing I exist.
I sit up sleepless and this pain fills my heart as I think of everything that I caused by letting down my guard in a area I should have never let myself venture.
I fell In Deeply and took greedily a Love that could never be mine and I allowed it to take me to Places that I believed were forbidden because these places belonged to another.
I cradle myself in a ball and whimper like a saddened child feeling my sentence of my broken heart being crashed against the Reefs of a Swollen ocean of despair.
I Cannot Blame anyone but myself my loss blinded me to grasp out into the darkness and pull in some light but somewhere I forgot to use my senses and to look out for the undertow.
This Light was a Brilliant Beautiful Being he Truly did fall as deeply but his hulls were beaten and leaked as he coasted with no sails to give him direction.
He only knew one way and a change of wind could sink him for he could not accept a new Sail because he didn't know how to steer it.
He was a Wonderful man I will always be thankful but his ship is calling and he will rest his hull in the Murky Waters and throw out his life line.
I lay here in my own misery and I have no one to blame than myself and wait for God's mercy to free me from this place of self Pain and to give me strength to face my weakness of Loneliness and except Mary's faults and Imperfections.

About this poem:
First I must tell you all I was widowed last year and watched my partner pass away suddenly without notice in my arms. It looked like my world had ended I grew very depressed and could not control my emotions. I started playing a online game silly to most but believe it or not many adults do this to escape their daily reality to get some relief. Thats when I met Terek who listened to me and soothed me with his tender words and he was so understanding. Months past we grew closer online as friends and he would soon be in my town on business so we planned to meet for the first time to have Dinner together. When we met our romance began maybe on my part because of my need to be held to feel loved and secure at that time but it blossomed into something special he would drive 14 hrs to see me and stay a few days he spoiled me I spoiled him but he was married unhappily but that fact remained he belonged to another.I was feeling very fragile I had recently broke up with him. I broke up because I didn't want to be the other woman anymore and this was the first and last time it will ever happen. Don't look at us like were evil because neither of us meant to fall deeply as we did. He is very unhappy where he remains and yes I believe every word he said for good reason. We go on broken hearted and stay intouch maybe some day he will find the strength to get out of where he is but I can't sit and wait as long as I know he belongs to another I must go on but I am Thankful they he woke me up enough to know it is possible for me to love again.
Life's Fight
Through this pain
I see the light
Telling me to hang on and fight.
Even though I want to let go
Dear soul,the time isn't right
its not your time to go.
Broken, battered and bruised
ashamed and all alone
Please dear God, let me come home.
No dear child, you must stay and fight,
I will soon see you in the after life.
Its not your time
you can not go,
I have things planned you'll soon know.
Do not be ashamedm you are not alone,
I haven't forsaken you.
Dear child, you can not come home.
I'll stand by you when you fight,
You cant come home dear child,
the time isn't right.
Please hang on and fight.
I know youwill do what's right.
I see the light
Telling me to hang on and fight.
Even though I want to let go
Dear soul,the time isn't right
its not your time to go.
Broken, battered and bruised
ashamed and all alone
Please dear God, let me come home.
No dear child, you must stay and fight,
I will soon see you in the after life.
Its not your time
you can not go,
I have things planned you'll soon know.
Do not be ashamedm you are not alone,
I haven't forsaken you.
Dear child, you can not come home.
I'll stand by you when you fight,
You cant come home dear child,
the time isn't right.
Please hang on and fight.
I know youwill do what's right.

About this poem:
I wrote this poem because I have struggled so mych with the death of my mother.Goodbye
Why did you leave me
Why did you go
You left me in this cruel world
that I have to call home.
Without one last kiss or say goodbye
You died in your sleep and now I cry.
I never had a chance to say I love you
or one last time to see your face
you left me alone in this cruel and desolate place.
How do I move on with my life
Without you there is no reason to try.
I want to call just to say HI.
Now I cant and only God knows why.
I just want to see your fave
Its like I would see a little bit of heaven
in this cruel place.
I dont know why you had to go
Thats not for me to answer, I know.
Just a little whisper is all I need
To let me know you are safe and at ease.
Why did you go

About this poem:
I wrote this poem for my mom. She died on April 8th 2007. She closed her eyes and went to sleep, only to never wake again. Its still hard but I know she's watching over me.
Reflection
Hands that have held many babies
Hands that have made many meals
Hands that have closed in prayer
Hands that have did the chores
Hands that have held me.
Love that was always there
Guiding me thru life's journey
Never having to wonder
Always knowing you cared
Eyes so full of love
Reflecting from the heart
Even as you get ready to go
With your wisdom you part
Not just with words
With the way you lived
Were the best lessons you ever gave
Now I look and here you lay
Resting in your grave
But even tho you are gone
I keep you here in my heart
Loving you from the start
So mother to mother I hope I turn out to be
Half the woman you were
That would be good enough for me.
Hands that have made many meals

So mother to mother I hope I turn out to be
Half the woman you were
That would be good enough for me.

About this poem:
For my Mum.
the loss of life
when i feel lonely an d blue
i cry my heart thinking of you
why did you leave me to remain on this earth
i cant maintain my life, or clean up the dirt
i cant fix the strife between those that i love
cant seem to hold on to those that i endear to my heart
why cant they realize that i am trying to do my part
i am not perfect or malicious or hard
,my heart breaks that i cant change the odds
seems history repeats itself unfortunately twofold
how can i carry all that i value and hold
the life is so short and we should treasure it with all our might
not enforce bitterness, manipulation and strife
make our life peaceful , with harmony and love
accept what you have and not change a thing
for life is worth living if you forget all the painful things
so wish i can get some omen to tell me whats right
to uplift my spirits to carry on my life
pleasures and peace come when yu are happy
you are blessed,
so never discount the little unrest
but make it turn upward instead of in turmoil
for life is worth living so extend the positivity
eliminate the negativity
value the significant and embellish it with love/happiness

About this poem:
the love of my life senselessly killed by a drunk driver while doing what he loved wind in his hair motorcycle riding . rip junior .Empty Words
So very sorry for your loss,
At least there was no pain.
These empty words seem meaningless,
When Death has won again.
You have our deepest sympathies,
You're in our thoughts and prayers.
These hollow sounds just echo,
Through the hall and down the stairs.
The numbness is a blessing,
It all seems so unreal.
Til all the words just fall away,
And empty's all you feel.
Late at night, when all is still,
The lonliness sets in.
The thoughts of words you didn't say,
The things that might have been.
Eventu'lly the pain will ebb,
The bitterness, the strife,
To think no more such thoughts of death,
To celebrate the life.
The ones you've loved are never gone,
They still live on in you,
Touching every part of life,
In all you say and do.
At least there was no pain.
These empty words seem meaningless,
When Death has won again.
You have our deepest sympathies,
You're in our thoughts and prayers.
These hollow sounds just echo,
Through the hall and down the stairs.
The numbness is a blessing,
It all seems so unreal.
Til all the words just fall away,
And empty's all you feel.
Late at night, when all is still,
The lonliness sets in.
The thoughts of words you didn't say,
The things that might have been.
Eventu'lly the pain will ebb,
The bitterness, the strife,
To think no more such thoughts of death,
To celebrate the life.
The ones you've loved are never gone,
They still live on in you,
Touching every part of life,
In all you say and do.

About this poem:
Written on hearing of the death of a new friend's mother. Talking to her made me think of what it was like when my own mom died.Choose
Hiden from the light
Lies a hunger as yet un fed
Within the depths of my soul
A voice within my head
A tingle on my spine
And i know the she is awake
The growl with in my heart
This pain i cannot shake
I reach out to the world
Begging to be set free
But no one hears my words
No one could ever see
This life i live
Under ground within the night
This person that i stuggle with
This creature that i fight
I lose control in a moment
And the blood runs forth
It doesnt matter from whence
The red flood pours
The pain with in will cease
Once shes had her fill
I may regain control in a moment
If i stay so very still
But lo i cannot stop my eyes
They quiver at the scene
The blade burried deep
I cannot stop this scream
I? We? She? Flees from this place
Not knowing where she runs
I am lost so,e where alone
She holds a gun
She aims to fire
Maybe to kill
Her soul a burning pyre
Nothing left to gain
Everything to lose
Should she pull the trigger?
I dont know which to choose
Lies a hunger as yet un fed
Within the depths of my soul
A voice within my head
A tingle on my spine
And i know the she is awake
The growl with in my heart
This pain i cannot shake
I reach out to the world
Begging to be set free
But no one hears my words
No one could ever see
This life i live
Under ground within the night
This person that i stuggle with
This creature that i fight
I lose control in a moment
And the blood runs forth
It doesnt matter from whence
The red flood pours
The pain with in will cease
Once shes had her fill
I may regain control in a moment
If i stay so very still
But lo i cannot stop my eyes
They quiver at the scene
The blade burried deep
I cannot stop this scream
I? We? She? Flees from this place
Not knowing where she runs
I am lost so,e where alone
She holds a gun
She aims to fire
Maybe to kill
Her soul a burning pyre
Nothing left to gain
Everything to lose
Should she pull the trigger?
I dont know which to choose

Post CommentMemoriam from a pet
Remember me, but do not grieve.
You made my life so much more
than it might have been.
Every day I had with you
was a blessing that I would not have
had without you.
You gave me all your love,
I gave you all I could.
No one can give more.
When the sadness has faded,
perhaps you can give hope
and love again,
to an other
like me !

About this poem:
Written and sent to friend whose rescue dog had diedMy Best Friend
I look into those wonderful brown eyes of yours.
I don't think anyone could love me anymore.
It is hard on me to see what you are going thru.
And soon I know what I might have to do.
You have been there for me
A friend who ask nothing in return.
Sometimes just sitting together
Letting life be.
I will miss you more than you will ever know
I have watched you grow.
You protect me when you think harm comes my way
I can't protect you back because old age is here to stay.
So lets sit and watch the sun go down.
And remember when you were just a pup and run around.
I don't think anyone could love me anymore.
It is hard on me to see what you are going thru.
And soon I know what I might have to do.
You have been there for me
A friend who ask nothing in return.
Sometimes just sitting together
Letting life be.
I will miss you more than you will ever know
I have watched you grow.
You protect me when you think harm comes my way
I can't protect you back because old age is here to stay.
So lets sit and watch the sun go down.
And remember when you were just a pup and run around.
