Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you c…

You can drag me by the hair but not by the heart
You can tell me again You knew from the start
You can see by my heartbeat as it's getting torn apart
You can stop this if only …
You can't stop this.
You can't see that i'm already gone
You can't see that You knew all along
You can't…

FINALLY -
Someone is bitchy enough to say it like it REALLY is!
BITCHOLOGY
When I stand up for
myself and my beliefs,
they call me a
bitch.
When I stand up for
those I love,
they call me a
bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts
or do things my own way, they call me a
bitch.
Being a bitch…

This time the teardrops do fall
It's been so long, i still don't recall
The feeling of being safe and sound
The feeling of being unbound
My soul becoming immortal
I feel myself gliding through a portal
Gone are the days of love
Days that long ago needed a…

I need a big change
Like Erica Kane says
I need a new beginning
A fresh start from darker days
Work is tough
When you know you've had enough
I'd be lying if i said i liked it
i'd be lying if i said i cared about it
How many times must the sparks fly
How many times will i…

Today, you asked me if i would again be your woman
I consider this, aside from what i want, if i really can
How much time? What will be the correct span?
Suddenly we're locked in strange silence, unable
To know if and when and how we might embark on a plan
Pretend…

Together Forever, the old fashioned view
Soap Opera love stories, if only they were true
Tugging at your heart strings, or whistling a tune
Wishes from fairy tales, it happens too soon
At 6:38 look up at the moon
There is something up there that will set them…

The time is now, for stark branches, bare of leaves and covered in snow
Roads icy, steps slippery, temperatures low and i say no, don't go
Stay here, where it's warm and soft and yes, we can go real slow
How many snow days will there be? As many as we can g…

Centered once and for all upon the building trust
It's you and i who will truly be and see upper crust
Figuring out when and why and where there needs be a thrust
Spirituality kindness concern and compassion our only must
Darkness fades and light becomes us
Wanting only to know t…

Her aperture can induce egomania
Wrapped in the pain of guilt
She wanders in places Someone else has built
Playing with words are never going to be enough
She wonders when she ever became so damn tough
Only she knows her acquiescence is not a bluff
The grand teeter totter…

All i can do is throw my hands up there, towards the sun
Some beauty was meant to come and some meant to flow
But some will decide to stay because, they're just not meant to run
Remember warm summer days, flying by, completely edged in fun
Throwing my hands toward t…

Sending the day away like something i prefer to stay hid
Can a dream make you feel like a kid
Swirling colors and bursts of light dance behind my eyelid
The last that i see before the dreams come
I feel the water around my ankles as i begin to wade around some
Warm around my f…

Time ticks by, the sands through the hourglass
However it goes, i just know it moves on way too fast
Waiting and worrying and wondering from you
Checking the clock again, it’s a half past two
Where is my heart, where is it finding its place to beat
Stabbed and slain, it lay…

With the truth between us
Nothing can set us free
Chained together
Through lust, passion and wild desire
We never ask to be free
We never beg to be free
Anxious only with surviving in this
Possessing what means more than life
Once in a lifetime
Meaning more than it ever has befor…

From the bright sunshine into darkness, my eyes adjust to this place
This place where I bring my love to Him
His warmth covers me, seeping through my skin and into my veins
Lounging in His lap I wish to show my love for Him
I whisper His name and He whispers mine
Opening every inch…

Keeping them hidden in eyes of green
Are the scars so deep
Approachable by few
Fearing the fire
Fearing the ire
From those things hidden in eyes of green

I dream of fireworks lighting the night sky
The rain falling heavy upon us
I close my eyes and see the waterfall
I dream of September
A guitar in my hands
I serenade You for days
I dream You strike a match in the dark
The sky becomes clear
Just as the sun is at noontide

** i wrote this a couple of months ago, along with a few others i'll be posting today. *smiles* Poetry is what keeps me sane, and i love it! i'm still looking for some feedback on my writings though, because i really hadn't written much until this past summer when i stopped squashing my creative side down into nothing! Thanks in part to Rebel and xanadu who've encouraged me to let it out and be the creator i was meant to be! i will warn You that some of my stuff can be darker, but as we all know…
