True life is never how the tv shows. It’s more complicated than exposed. In True life, there is struggle Day to day our lives we juggle. True life is different from one day to the next, It can start to feel sometimes like you’ve been hexed. True life gives us love and loss, a lot Seems time itself can’t be locked. True life is powerful, poignant, and indiscriminative It is weak, vulnerable, changing, and imaginative. True life is a gift and yet can be an exchange, IT is yours after all to rearrange. Make of it what you will Because, in the end, it’s you that has to “pay the bill.”
I believe there are trials we cannot see, Spaces filled without joy or glee Things that bother us, but remain unspoken Almost like a vase that’s broken The vase cannot serve its purpose anymore We, like a vase, can carry others Keeping them safe, one with another But broken, we can’t Even if in a slant …… Look into another’s eye Some make you laugh Some make us cry Sad Eyes are a message Sometimes you’ll see it right off Sometimes and often, you won’t
If you want to make a change You can simply find some joy Joy is not easily found all the time More than not we have to search You can’t be happy for others, They have to be. You can’t fix others You just need to fix you, find your joy, share your hope Others will see positive, search for their hope, their joy, just because you have. Regardless of how you were, you can be that light, that positive for someone else. Perfect does not exist, don’t keep looking for it, you’ll be disappointed and you’ll get tired and fail. Be grateful, be thankful Have an awesome day!
I wrote my first book a few years ago. I was just learning things and since it was self-published, it had grammatical errors and probably misspellings. I hope to one day correct that. The same goes for my second book. On my third book, I think I did much better. It has been a gradual progression of teaching myself and working hard to provide a quality book.
I hope you will like the poems though. They are genuine and from my heart. Some I have posted on my webpage. I have a lot of poems. I have tried to collect them and save them for future use.
I guess this is my “Heart Series” and I hope to keep going with it.
Just Look It has been there Always has Making me cry Letting you laugh Never did anyone see What it was that was hurting me Empty compliments Just to save “face” But inside, a very dark place…
It Surrounds Me I wish my life would just let me be I smother underneath it’s grasp that surrounds me The many times I could not count on my two hands If there was a stack it would take a million rubber bands No one can measure the uneasiness I feel
Change, by MwsR When the time comes that you reflect over your life and the things you’ve done Will you see someone smart or someone dumb? Those things you thought were fin The things that you swore hurt no one. Were they worth it? Were they proper or were they like that of a nitwit? … Continue reading Excerpt from my book, “Heart Stones”
I wrote this poem as I was thinking about my biological family. Since being adopted, they were always on my mind, so much so, I would spend many of my days wanting to run out and find them. MwsR Urge The sudden urge to just go Following through On an intuition, that inside you grew … Continue reading Excerpt From my book, “Heart Songs”
I hope this finds everyone doing good and well. I wanted to let you know that I have been busy making another book. It is a process, let me tell you. Although I constantly save my poems, which I share on Facebook mainly, and this webpage, I find myself having to search and sort. This book will be entitled”Heart Chimes”. It is fourth in my “Heart” Series. I have three books in paperback and one in ebook form. I will probably make this an Ebook as well, selling it on Amazon as I have previously.
I will share the details as they come. I am really excited because I have grammar and spelling being checked and hopefully there will be no errors there, as there was before, in previous books. I have also put some of my sayings and quotes in it. Along with pictures from two of my artist friends, and personal photos. Maybe one day, I will be able to help support my family from proceeds. Wishful thinking there. I will settle for someone feeling that they are not alone in their feelings and that someone out there has had those same feelings. It is nice when we don’t feel alone.
I hope you all know that you are worthy of love, respect, and help. We are not made to be alone in this world. Someone is out there for you. Don’t ever give up and certainly never give in unless it is worth the price you pay. I shall see you on this side of the RAINBOW!!!
To love is to bare your heart…whether it is reciprocated or not. Sometimes it can be wonderful….sometimes it won’t. Don’t stop loving …just don’t.💝 MwsR
