A hermit at heart. When in the mood I love meeting new people. Don’t be shy to say “hello”. I am a mom of four and I am in a loving relationship. I want to become a better writer. I love to analyze and decode difficult or hidden, between the lines, reads. I love looking deep into human behavior, it is all very interesting to me. I love to learn from All people, especially odd or quirky fellows. :)

Mother's Day

Warm, hot, tears

Disbelief!

Yearning for a wish.



A pulling ring 


Something is boiling.


What?!

Did you just say that to me?

You are here!



It took years to see,


And now you have me digging through the bathroom trash.

A Love Story or the end of the world?

This story is how I see the Gods of ancient time controlling their RITES in The Age Of Innocence.

All EVE’s were property of the King and must not be defiled by any impurity.

But one day the Great and Terrible Laws offered the King a Truce....

Walgreens

Hungover, dazed and dragging a limp

Waffling of burnt popcorn.

Black vomit,

A stupor that makes stupid look smart.

Squared foils.

Cut straws,

And black fingers.

A few smudges across the face too.

The vulgar Walgreens clerk went too...

Something of beauty—hopefully”

One hundred and fifty thoughts a minute

One hundred and fifty million regrets

One hundred and fifty beats below forty

One hundred and fifty pleas squared ten

Let not the shame of your beating heart kill you-- again

I see you
I feel you!
And
Hear you!

Those are words of comfort, and I am hurt! Hurt that I must feel it. Sad that I must feel empty of light. Empty of compassion, and empty of purpose, but only for a moment, only for a little moment.

You...

I am a hopeless romantic! I love any poem that touches on the topic of romance and reflects the cosmic lovers. You write with so much gracefulness. You make a person want to keep reading because the words feel smoothe.

My mother was a hard core druggie. I also been in few relationships with drug use being an issue. Hell I tried drugs. But that doesn’t make a person is evil for making a bad choice, like using drugs. People have to learn what is good for them in their own way. Enough hard knocks by natural consequences normally prods one to change. Evil is still doing something hurtful after you know you have the ability to change it, but won’t.

Not sure what you mean, other than yes, drugs are a scourge and a real evil that are alluring the young, naive, traumatized, and broken.

Your poem is a gift. It feels soothing to read your words. Anyone daring to live is a gift to all of us. The whole point the Gods made reality is to experience everything at the pace we are willing to discover it. Connection is key. Thank you for sharing a piece of your soul with us.

YES! The Bible is an awesome source to learn from. So is the Buddha, and the Koran. All kinds of educational books are great , as well as ancient texts like The Dead Sea Scrolls, are wonderful KEYS to show us our way! Ultimately it is up to YOU to choose what you value and why.

Surrendering the heart is a feeling of the highest of highs, but an unkind deed, intentional or not, will break a truth, that can only be repaired by a role reversal. That is why I love the idea of reincarnation. But a miracle came forth: A lesson was born.

let me see if I can get this commenting thing right this time. Thank you. It means a lot coming from a mind and heart such as yours’. I changed the poem a bit because I had a birthday this last Mother’s Day. I finally understand what the Christ is and what the atonement means. The truth is in plain sight yet missed. I still can’t submit to a religion, but I’d be a fool to not hold high regard for the intelligence that knows itself so deeply it allows me to part of it.

Life is as perennial as strawberries! So are our children. In my innerstanding of universal secrets your progeny is your key to return again and again and again. She will bless you for eternity.

I see this as a man observing a woman. Wow, beautifully written. The pull and push are what create movement and therefore growth. They find their common ground in their Cosmic Child. Divine intelligence saw a way to create order out of chaos, but she only became a woman after he touched her and she conceived his child.
