Poetry

This Time

Taking time to do things right, 
this time.
Putting me in first place,
this time.
Showing myself how to be me,
this time.
This time is just for me.




1995



Let me be who I am

Let me be who I am.
I have no need to be anybody else,
Just me.
One day a mother,
one day a beautiful person 
with a loving partner.

Let me be who I am.
a fighter, a winner
a person who cares and feels,
who will never let you down,
I'll always be there.

Let me be who I am.
With no need to dissagree,
with no reason to hide,
all I want to be,
always proud of being me.   

1995


A void as deep as the ocean,
a void as wide as the sky,
a void in my heart when you said goodbye.
The pain so intense, so hard to see,
all of the reasons why you left me.

Alone I lay with no future to see
all of  my plans were for you and me.
Know how alone I suffer this pain,
taking it all not fighting the strain,
letting you walk all over me again.

So now what is there left for me?
A space in my heart, a void so deep,
so wide as the sky, deep as the sea
no more future for you and me,
just me missing you, I am so lonely.

Good morning my love,
I hope that sleep held you
Like I would have
If you were here with me
I hope she caressed you
With beautiful dreams
And only let you wake
When your body and soul were rested.

Good afternoon my love,
I hope the day held your hand
Like I would have
If you were here with me.
I hope she carried you 
Through the hours of your day lightly
Like a gentle breeze
And only set you down
When you arrived with me.

Good evening my love,
Here with me know, I hold you
Like I always will
When you are here with me.
Always loving you tenderly
Just like the very first time
Love touched your heart
Child like and pure.
At last.


2011


I feel like my life has run away from me, I've lost control and it just slipped away. Leaving me here, sort of in between my old life and my future, not really knowing which way to go. I'm lost and need guidance to get me through this patch so rough. I'm drifting on an ocean far and wide, with no compass, no lighthouse to keep me from crashing into the rocks, and I'm feeling very seasick, so sick of this nowhere life of mine. So sick of it.                                                                                                                                             1997
