Love Poems

a love poem for my teeth
I heard the poet say
and he talked about something beautiful
but ugly got in the way!

Write a love poem for your body
for the parts that you
really don't love
He told his tiny audience
That's a directive sent from above.

I'd like to write a love poem to my body then
To the parts that I really hate
lets start with the area just below my
shoulders, and wander on down from there.

I think we can stop at my knees though,
so is that the area called my torso??
I really don't know how to write anymore
But that's how love poems go!

Should I write how I'd like it to look like
All thin, gaunt & streamlined

Not all bumpy & lumpy
and fatty & plumpy, but
gorgeous & flat
like a sleek jaguar cat!
I'd like to look like a model,
those ones they call heroin chic!
Not sure how the rest of my body would look like
with a physique looking that sleek
a little bit odd, a little bit weird!
I think I might try growing a beard!

Ok, that's the end of the love poem
I really can't write anything more
It's all rather funny to be writing this much
About a body I'm not even sure
how I feel about, not writing more!

I'm going to work on changing the body though
not through writing a love poem on it!
Going to go to the gym, stay away from the sin
that is chocolate & pastries & more!
At least that's the plan in my head now
I don't know, will it come to fruition
Will see if it does
If not
there is always
another love poem
to write

Trust

I fight
I'm lost
I don't know where I'm going to
I shout
Do you hear me
Where are you leading me?

I yell and scream
Try & cause a scene
Do you know what you're doing with my life
I cry and weep
Try and get some sleep
I have to trust that you've got me in your hands

I'll just let go
It's more than a show
I'm depending on you to get me through
One day at a time
One moment that's mine
I trust that you will carry me

Footprints in the sand
Only one set to see
As you carry me
Carry me
Close to you
I feel your strength
Trust that I'm ok
That you're holding me close
Making it through each day

Better..

Better is one day in your courts
So take me home
I want to be with you
I long for it
My desire is to be yours
To be with you
O, take me home
Draw me to you
Keep me by your side
May I be your queen
Take me home
To be with you forever
I just want to be with you forever
I long & desire you, to be with you
Always with you, forever you
Only you.


I am not of this world
Never will be
Never was
My soul & mind
struggle with this mortal coil
Most times I am restless
in spirit
fighting against the confines
of this imprisonment
There are moments, merely moments
of peace.
A quiet within
A true silence
When I think of you, of being with you for eternity!

The CURSE

And though your desire will be for your husband, he will be your master. Genesis 3:10

I am cursed to want you
I'm cursed to love you
I'm cursed to desire you
I'm cursed to fear you
the power you have
over me
Will you treat me right
will you keep me safe
will you protect me - even from yourself?

Who is my protector
Who will fight for me
Who will guard my honour
Rescue me?

I......don't know how

We need to talk
But can I tell you
of the fears inside
my mind

I need to tell you
But I don't know
if you will
respond in kind

Rejection?
Retreat?
Take the safety net
from under my feet?

I want to tell you
I'm lost inside my head
I want to love you
Can it be said?

Bare

Love the skin
Real contact
Heat within
Natural body
Real & true
Nothing fake
Red not blue

Closer contact
Made it real
Made it human
Meant I feel

Liquid swallowed

Liquid
swallowed
Makes
me
think
Kinda
pensive
Need
a
shrink

Missing your strength

I miss you
As I feel, so much
I miss your strength
Your wisdom
Your intellect!

You write
you debate
You think
And all I can do is feel!

So hard being me sometimes
And all I want is your strength
your sanity
as I get lost in all this emotion

Missing you, missing who you are
making me stronger than who I am!

Nervous

I'm nervous
waiting
anticipating

Adonis
coming to see me.

Confused about how I feel
What is real

Adonis
coming to my door

Wondering at my worth
my value

Adonis
coming to see me

Trying to summon courage
No need to worry
I am beautiful
and wonderful

I am fearfully & wonderfully made!

Met a maestro today
a poet, a devil
A Hungarian mish-mash
goulash
whatever.
Inspired to words,
languages
forever.
Theasaurus
A chorus
Incomplete
Without feet
Journey continues on

Some thoughts

I wish I knew how to thank you
For what you said
For your apology

I don't know how to thank you though. What can I offer you, what can I give you that will show you how much I appreciate what you wrote.

I thought of this a while. Can I give you my soul - belongs to God. My spirit - belongs to him as well. Would I offer you my body, in thanks. I consider it a while, but I thought that maybe you would misunderstand my intentions, and all I didn't want that. I just wanted to say thanks.
But you don't know how much this means to me. One of those women who has longed for chivalry and watched it die. When it happens now, I react badly - I wonder what they want, what am I supposed to give in response. And here I am now, wanting to give & not knowing how!

So I give you my friendship, my love, my loyalty, it isn't much. I'm sorry, but it is all I have that is mine to give! So please accept the pennies that are offered, and know that they are given for standing up, and speaking out. And staying strong despite what the world wants you to do.

To a beautiful man

I wish I knew how
to say all the words
inside me right now
As I gaze in your eyes

That you fight for me still
when the world says no more
and you bear no ill-will
for me evening the score

My heart will rejoice
that you allow me a voice
To speak up & speak out
And I still can be me

I am beautiful here
because you look at me clear
You see the woman I am
You are a wonderful man.
