Alone
Be Careful What You Wish For
She gazes across an icy panacea
The kestrel above, calls when he sees her
The sun, though present, is fractionated
It’s warmth not worth being appreciated
A tumble of Schnauzers race to greet her
A ten out of ten on the Cute-O-Meter
Gazing liquid eyes desperate to be touched
It was nobodys’ wonder why she loved them so much
Their little furry faces had such alot to say
She couldn’t imagine being without them every single day
Although things weren’t perfect in a very imperfect life
And she would have no more children and may never be a wife
But the beauty all around her and the freedom that she loved
Was all that she had asked for, from the Universe above

Pass it forward:
The Unwanted
With a new non-smoker righteousness
you glare at all of me
I’m vulnerable, I’m open
Don’t you want to hold all of me?
Will you curse the shape of my body
or my heart
my spirit
my dream or
perhaps just all of me
Your love that I
need so desperately
makes you dislike me
immediately
I am but a child
I didn’t ask to be born
But please, can you not hug me,
feed me –
keep me warm

But…
But
I let you in
Nobody
gets in
You’re supposed to stay
not walk away
I shared
everything –
gave you my all
you were supposed to love me
not push me and watch
me fall

Pass it forward:
Look at me…
Look at me
waffling on
happy as a bee
Look at me
skipping through life
thinking I’m free
Look at me
that wistful child
once so wild
and now independent
and grown
Look at me
with 3 under 3
and a house I don’t
even own
Look at me
shared weekends
if we’re lucky
And I know you’ve been
sucking
someone else’s cherry
lip gloss
Look at me
bitter days
long nights
spent watching crap TV
Never to be
free – the very unhappy
divorcee
