Trying Not To Cry

...And she came dancing
From the cupboard, shattered dreams
Biggest eyes, brightest smile
Brushing dust away
Remnants of domesticity
She danced, She twirled
Before my eyes

In the air
Notes
A duet for Mother and child
Cascading down, filling my ears
My mind wanders to the question:
What might have been?
The pain of wasted tears

She
She is trying
She is trying not to cry

Wiping sleep out of your mind
Rising early every morn
From the closet of the duties of a good wife
You take the mask you wore
The day before

In the air
Steps
A dance for Mother and child
Trickle down, drowning my eyes
My mind wanders to hope
What is yet to come?
To the answer to all the "whys?"

She
She is trying
She is trying not to cry

Won't you ever see
Can't stand to taste your pain
Words drip off my tongue
In my nostrils, rain
Drops feel
Like footseps
Sounding in the cloisters

If you should ever find yourself
Your heart upon a shelf
Push pride aside
Let me find the woman deep inside
That you've hidden, carefully
Behind jars
Broken
Promises
Lies

She
She is trying
She is trying not to cry

The Ex

I know that we are over
but I just wanted to say
I gave my heart to you
and you threw it away.

I thought that you were wild
and I knew that you were bold
but how could I know your secrets?
when I was never told.

How could you look me in the eyes
and lay with me in bed
with all the lies you told me
floating through your head.

did you think I wasn't strong enough
or was it too hard to believe,
that I would pack up all my stuff
and take our son, and leave.

Now you're blowing up my phone
and leaving notes on my car
you think I'll just come running back
but this time you've gone too far.

I'll never be your girl again
Accept this as the end
I don't want you to make things better
don't even want you as a friend.

my dreams have been destroyed
it's hard to even sleep
and now you know it's over
so get over it creep.

unforgetable

i cannot forget that flower,
which gave me something to remember !
it was so beautiful
and smiling to the world
with the rose petals.
it was so shy, when i seen her,
trying to hide its face from me
with the help of wind!
it failed and gave me a good smile .
i tried to kiss her, but never allowed
it never wants to be used but to be fresh !
so i have to leave it
and to search other one to fill
my dreams..

If only you asked

There was no need
to take by force
what was once
offered freely
from love's embrace

We were over
Couldn't you
accept that

There was no need
To steal and plunder
The crime hurt even worse
because
I loved you
once

I now sit here alone
And wonder
How you could turn
Into someone
Who could rob me
Of
Myself
My dignity
My pride
My virtue
My strength

If only you'd asked
I might learn to forgive you
Someday

I will never forget you

He approached me as I was reaching the office door
His clothes tattered and unkempt
My hand was digging in my bag
Searching for my keys
'Can you spare some change so I can buy
Some Biscuits and cheese for my dinner'
I looked at him
Instinctively about to say sorry and close the door
Then I caught myself
A tiny sliver of guilt niggled in my brain
He is hungry
No-one should be hungry
I pulled some money from my purse
And as he took it
He said to me
I will never forget you
You may forget me but I will remember you

The Worst Day of my Life

Twenty years ago I witnessed a terrible accident
three vehicles had collided, the van on fire
first at the scene I called the emergency services
we could not get 3 of the 4 people out of the van

The flames far too strong, I had to listen to the screams
the smell in the air so horrific I will never forget
I sat trapped there for two of the worst hours ever
the rescued man so badly burnt he died the next day

Yet while all of this was going on I saw a man pass
he had his hand behind his back concealing a camera
so callous was he that he stood next to the dying man
started to take pictures I told a fireman what he was doing

The fireman sent him on his way, as he passed me
I told him how terrible he was, he said to me
Mam it is my livelihood I don't know what yours is
I replied to him I sell personal accident insurance

You don't see me up there touting for business
how can a human being live knowing what he had done
next day I am sad to say his pictures were published
on the front page for all to see it was so very wrong

At last they diverted us and I drove on very shaken
yet I have never really left those horrors behind
the smell was the worst of all, it still haunts me
six years later I drove past, the scorch marks remained

Somewhere Between The Lies

Truth was just a hidden moment, so fleeting passing by

It laid somewhere in between the valleys,of the mass of lies

To be pulled out like a weapon, to use along with tears you cried

Tears no longer have a meaning, with my hope they lay side by side

I will now pick up the pieces,of my tattered wounded pride

I will not even bother mourning, for the love that did die


I've wasted enough time, so I will just let it go

You have said enough, I no longer need to know

Truth was like a turtle, it seemed to arrive so slow

So keep your stories of sadness, your made up woe

I have learned from this, and you I did out grow

Don't be sad, cause your halo lost its glow

About this poem:
I went out last night and seen something that brought this poem to my mind. It has given much to think about. I was married a long time. It seems some think cheating does not hurt anyone. I was shocked at how some parade their cheating around. Do they use a parade of lies to justify it?

Lost

So many twists, so many turns
This maze they call life
Getting cuts, bruises and burns,
Why must I have all this strife?
Haven't I suffered enough?
Borne enough?
Given enough?
Lost enough?
Now to wander through this place
Always doing,
Seeking
Knocking
Asking
When will it end?
I feel so lost and so alone
No one to truly call my own
None but God to walk with me
I long for an earthly sanctuary
I'm tired and I'm cold
Day by day
Growing old
Won't someone come and walk with me...?
If this maze I must tread
At least let me have one true friend
Who'll always be there
Through thick and thin
And laugh with me
Till our heads spin
Who'll cry with me
Help mop the tears...
Show me the way when I've lost my own
And who's never too busy
To answer the phone
That's my prayer for today...
Lord.... I need a friend....
If I am to walk this way.

Just because (macduff's challenge)

Just because i have gained weight
does not mean i have no self esteem.
Just because i am heavier does
not mean i eat a lot of food
or that i do not work out.
Just because I do not work as a
CNA does not mean i don't want to.
Just because i work at at a
furniture consignment shop now
does not mean i do not want
to work in my CNA field.
Just because my knee does not
work all the time does not
mean that i am lazy.
Just because i can not get my
leg to work some days does not
mean i want to be on disability.
Just because i applied for
medicaid does not mean i am
white trash and a slacker.
Just because i go to the Welfare
office does not mean you can
belittle me and make me feel
like white trash.
Just because you look at the
cover you don't know what is
on the inside of anyone.

WormHole

---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----Engine engine number nine
Take me to another place and time
A world maybe parallel to mine
Somewhere untouched by mankind
Through wormholes and deep into the universe
Someplace far away from earth
But if this train should fall off its track
At least I know Im still not coming back---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----

About this poem:
Watching Morgan Freeman on the Dicovery channel speaking of wormholes.Always an interesting idea or theory. I wonder could I occupy the same space as me in some bizarre world and if not should I snuff him out or be penpals? I dounno this could get complicated
