Contemplation

On September 9, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry34 Comments

Do you ever
feel like screaming?
Your heart, mind
and soul
are filled to capacity
with frustration,
ready for explosion
You’re seeking
a solution
to your equation
but problem solving
needs consideration
and concentration
to reach fruition
What is your intention?
To lose the connection
or to move forward
with full participation
and determination?
My suggestion
is to assess
the situation
Dispose of
this emotion
Take action
by using your
Imagination
bringing this
discussion
to completion

crisp mornings join late

summer afternoons to greet

autumn’s warm prelude

Direction

So many corners to turn
I yearn to know
which way to go
left might be right
but my sight is blurry
as my heart is hurting
and the road is
never-ending
I long for
that green meadow
up ahead
dotted with flowers
to ease my thoughts
for bees and
butterflies
to make me smile
I haven’t smiled
in awhile
Instead
my stomach
remains in knots
I’m not one to dwell
on the impossible
yet, I’ve run into
a brick wall
It’s very tall
and climbing walls
has never been
a strength
but now
is as good as any
to begin
again

Longing

My mind won’t rest
with you in my dreams
and the breeze outside
my window
singing a wistful tune
under the spell
of the moon
and when I wake
at dawn
you rise with the sun
you’re in everything
I do
and all that’s been
done in my day
Oh, how I’m missing you

Recording of “I Loved You”

On September 1, 2013September 4, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry, Recordings42 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I’m stepping out of my comfort zone, so please be nice! 🙂
My voice sounds different to me recorded,
but I thought this would be something fun to try…
This poem is from January, when I returned
after taking a break for a few months.
Many of you have already read it,
but I hope you enjoy this audio version, as well.

Do I need
fifty dollar words,
candlelight and wine
to express
what’s on my mind?
I’m not one
to write heartfelt
emotions in rhythm
or rhyme
No poet, am I
and no fancy words
can match the hue
in your eyes
so I’ll be wise and
take my cue
and simply whisper
“I Love You”
