Same Place/ Poem share

It has been 21 years since we shared a conversation

And in that time we have not sat at the same table

Or ate our food together

We have visited the same stores, perhaps the same events

Just like ghosts we pass by each other

We haunt the same places

We haunt the same minds.

Our togetherness was suddenly evacuated

Desperately we both had to leave our former lot

You left years ago when you refused to listen

And I left when I no longer could stay.

What we once shared, we no longer do

I can’t help it though, I still think of you.

I wonder why it went the way it did

Why you bailed on me and left me to struggle.

Was I too much trouble?

I wonder if there are days you have

Where you wonder and think of , what we could have had

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Wait, that was in a movie song

No realism in that

I have come to realize that.

But my mind is still puzzled and I guess always will be.

We live in the same darn city!

We are but minutes from each other

But a lifetime of sins, separates us.

If I could would I wish it away?’

I am not certain I would.

Without you I am strong,

On my own I have been for so long.

I had to adapt

Had to put childish dreams away.

Had to see things for what they really are , you might say.

I once was lost but now I see

There never really was unconditional love for me

It is just something to acknowledge so I can keep on my way

I do however let my mind remember

I remember the not so bad times we had together

I stay focused on reality, but keep a hand on my heart

It needs some support now, since we had our depart.

Same city, same phone numbers

Wow, it is as plain as the nose on a person’s face.

Love can still exist where a heart breaks.

I know, mine does.

Disapproval/ Poem Share

Disapproval is so capturing

It is like a cage where you wish to be freed

Nothing more demeaning

At least not to me

I see it steal the innocence of children

Robbing the older folks of much joy

It illuminates the sidewalks when a stranger passes by

The scars are almost unrecognizable

They take on a life of their own

Disapproval is a beast to all

Devouring what there is left of one’s dignity.

The only way to escape its grasp?

No one knows.

I surely don’t because it grows as I grow.

It has walked around me all my life.

Taking on the faces of people I thought loved me.

People who accepted me for who I am

It has long become a part of my view of myself

It is like skin on my bones

Forever a cover to what lies beneath.

Visible to onlookers of the outer self

But not inside where one’s soul is shelved.

Disapproval can defeat a person’s outlook on things

It shuts them down before they even engage.

It is powerful , more than a two-edged sword

If it was to disappear, oh what a better place we would have here.

What Makes You Smile/Poem

Songs from birds in the tree top

Music genres like rock and pop

Soft covers and pillows that are squeezable

Waitress’s that make your dinning pleasurable.

 

Knowing that someone wants to see you

Feeling baby skin, it is so new

Eating out at your favorite place

Seeing happiness on another’s face.

 

Finding an outfit that fits like a dream

Watching a movie on the big movie screen.

Meeting a stranger who says “Hello”

Knowing there is good in people you know.

 

Writing what you feel

Taking a drive through the hills.

Watching a wedding

Colder temperatures and snow sledding.

 

Magical people who touch your life

Being someone’s other, being someone’s wife.

Hearing laughter from your kids and their kids

Knowing there is nothing that you will miss.

 

What makes you smile is all about you

Things can be real special, it’s true.

How about trying to think on it a while

Then write yours down, and make yourself smile.

Heartache, Send it Away/Poem by MwsR

broken heart love sad

With matters of the heart

Here comes heartache that smears and leaves inside a huge mark

Unaware as people are

No one notices, really

They try to function day-to-day

 Little do they know

There is no warning sign

No flashing light.

Heartache creeps in

It replaces where trust once stayed

It is almost like it packs a bag,

It is not going anywhere soon.

Little by little the changes seem

To little really to place blame

As if the heart was made of steel

People excuse that deep down, how they feel.

They don’t understand it all

Or they would run away, even crawl.

No one likes heartache, no one needs it either

It is sadly though a fact of life

Somewhere along in your own life you have had it come

It stays for a while and then some

Leaving in its place things that barely function any more,

Things like trust, like pleasure, like joy.

Sometimes it sinks into the walls of the heart

It does not hesitate at all.

 However, heartache can be put in the back of your heart, sometimes

That place where you avoid going unless something triggers it

The avoidance does not extinguish it,

All it does is give a person a little while to feel the right way again

To enjoy something that they hadn’t been

In a sort of way, it allows them to pretend.

So if you see heartache coming for a visit,

Turn it away, don’t let it stay

Show it your heart and its courage,

Its fight.

Then, and only then will you eventually be alright.

Broke/Poem share by MwsR

Too broke, not strong enough

Hanging on every action, every word

Missing things just awaiting the outcome

Letting the world outside pass her by

She let tears drown her pillows at night

Desperately immersed in all the broken she is

Wanting to change things but faster than it can happen

Ignorant to thank people forgive and forget

Letting herself stay broke till all the pieces somehow fit.

Song Twist/ Poem share

I am going to use one of my favorite songs and try to change it up a bit. This is my first try, so bear with me.

Somewhere Over the Edge I Go (Somewhere Over The Rainbow)

Somewhere over the edge, way up high

There’s a thought that I thought of, once in this life of mine.

Somewhere over the edge, now

My heart was turned blue

And the dreams that I dreamed of, never will come true.

Where people are so arrogant while thinking only of themselves,

That’s where you’ll find me.

Where love melts like lemon drops, way above their wicked hearts,

That’s where you’ll find me.

Somewhere over the edge, my blue eyes cry

And all that I ever wanted, does really pass me by.

That was kind of depressing compared to the original “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”, that gives people everywhere a lot of hope. Telling people it is okay to dream, and that dreams do come true.

I might be doing this some with other songs. It was kind of fun.

Thanks for reading! Blessed be!
