Taken back>
Scrounging forward
Frozen in time>
Thawing from the lies
Happy in memories>
Sad in the truth
Alone in this journey>
Together in the pain
Wallowing in yesterdays>
Letting go for more tomorrows.

I Am/Poem Share MwsR
I am a pool without moving water
A cup with nothing left in it to drink
Separated, like an egg that cracked and is broken
A traveler, traveling back into life, again.
No refuge to be found for my battered mind
Makes me reflect on things from this life of mine.
I am a winter that’s cold wind blows
When the outside starts to freeze
My ability to thaw starts by praying on my knees. 
I ask for pardon and reprieve
Although I may not deserve it.
I am a storm that is strong and sporadic
Never showing my full potential, manic 
Leaving parts of myself in all I touch.
With my touch comes many things
Could be some lightning, or a hurricane.
I am me,
Just who I am supposed to be.
Sometimes going through life blissfully
But sometimes failing, you see.
Part of making it, in existing
Having a real life, that is worth living.

Shadows/poem share
Remnants of pain
Scars of mistakes
Debts that you can’t escape
Patterns that have been repeated
Crosses that we must bear
Promises that we have shared
Forgiveness that isn’t deserved
But given despite that
In our hearts is where this is at
Courage to continue
Thoughts and changes
They bring about exchanges
Shadows don’t define our real person
They merely show us some parts of us
You can change your shadows
You can make a different one
It is possible to …
Change, redefine and renew
When we keep things foremost in our life they control our thoughts. So i f we redirect our thoughts,our lives, and learn to forgive ourselves we can have a better life.

Collecting Your Memories/ poem by MwsR
Collecting Your Memories
In life it seems sometimes
There are cross overs between our present and our pasts.
We do what we have to just to make it through.
When there is doubt or fear, or even pain that’s when,
Looking for some comfort, closure, or something else
We go back to where we once was in another time or place in our lives.
Either remembering the feelings, thoughts, or something
Taking comfort from them and what they remind us of
It’s crazy but yet we do.
For us to move on we collect our memories
Before we can move on ahead or just get through.
Often blinded, we are by the once before
The “what abouts”
Too much of that can shade our todays.
But if you have to or just because…
Then go ahead
Collect those memories from your head
Perhaps, even expressing those feelings the best ways you can.
Like you could write them down by hand,
Make a mental note for yourself
Just don’t linger too long or take up residence there,
So you can finish your task at hand or to just keep living.

Think / Poem by MwsR
I stare out through my kitchen window
My mind is trying to register what my eyes already know
I can’t look as far as I once use to, my eyes have a astigmatism now
I use to see for yards and yards away,
But not today.
But not anymore.
Yet, I am thankful that I have my eye sight still
There are others who do not.
As I drink my coffee this morning
My memory takes me down a path, I long ago was on.
Where things were all wrong
Where I did not matter to those closest to me
I sigh for a moment right before the thoughts escape me
I say to myself”I am not that person anymore”,
I have those that want me and love me, now.
Today, I am thankful for those who tolerate me
Those that have stayed around.
As I sit her and type away on my laptop,
While keeping an ear at to listen for my grandkids’ movements
I realize how much time has flown right by without me noticing.
The numerous times that I was not fully paying attention to
The special times that I had yet to see then,
I am realizing are now gone.
I am so much older than I ever was in my thoughts
I really hadn’t thought that far ahead.
Yet, I am thankful for the years I have been alive,
For seeing the sun and the moon rise
Having been blessed is what I have been
Now that’s the best message to convey, here at the END.
Loneliness/poem share by MwsR
Loneliness is atrocious,
What it does not take from you,
It taunts you with…
“look at those people with their sacred other”
“You don’t deserve that, you know”,
It often says that, when you are feeling so very low.
It walks hand in hand with others like
The forgotten, the meek, the wounded in spirit.
Solitariness makes a person different on the inside
While working to denude us of any other person
It puts a shield around us,
We can become abject in a crowd.
Normal situations make us unquiet at best.
Being lonely for a long time,
Will make a person feel like they are in dire straights,
Like they are capitulating the idea of true fulfilled happiness.
Lonely is no place to be,
I don’t want it, even if I make a friend out of a tree.

Excerpt From my book, “Heart Paths”
This poem that I am going to share is about the times when perhaps you cross another’s mind. It basically is saying that if you don’t care, don’t think about me.
I was shunned by my own family, after many years of conflict, many years of them looking the other way, yet finding ways to make my home life miserable.
I love this “matter of fact” poem. It is one of my own favorites.
Hope you enjoy!

Don’t Think About Me
Each time when I happen to cross your mind
Think of just what you’ve left behind
Think of all the day that’s gone
And how much time I’ve been alone
Each picture that was once so proudly displayed
Now are hidden and tucked away
There is not a memory around now of me
Just the thoughts in your mind that simply just go round
Each word or mention of me in passing
“Ducking” from all the questioning
What to say about decisions made
Because in your heart so heavily they’ve laid
Each tear that was shed was it from regret?
Or was it self-pity that you wanted to get?
Shame, how time changes some men
Kind of scary to think you’ve forgotten about the sin
Each family event that you have planned
One less family member to get the upper hand
Time has a way of showing whose true
Again I’m sorry that it couldn’t be you
So each time I am in your head
Remember it was away from you I was led
Don’t think about me
If only actions was all it would have taken
For me not to has felt forsaken
Don’t, just don’t, think about me
I’m in charge of my life can’t you see?
Each thing I’ve not forgotten
Each word I have memorized
Each step from you and you’re still surprised!
Don’t think about me.

You and I/poem by MwsR
You…
Are my compass, and my north star
My journey till the end of this life
I feel you in everything I do or dream of
With you comes much joy and also much pain.
I…
Never knew how much someone could love me,
Till I met you and you showed me
Wished upon a star and you came into my life.
Hope, for things once more, learned to believe in love again.
MwsR ❤
