Absentminded
Have you seen my brain?
I lost it in the rain
possibly on the train
but it could be
with the lonely sock
all colored with chalk
Maybe in the dog house
with the frantic mouse
Oh, where could it be?
This is so silly
Do you have a hint
and should we sprint
to beat the clock
or can we walk?
I think I’ll shout
without a doubt
as loud as I can
so people can hear
and help me plan
just what to do
to find my brain
I need a clue!

Have you had a day like this?
🙂
Sunshine
There’s a home for negativity
It’s called the “round file”
Toss it in with verve
Let it stay for awhile
Watch your life improve
Get better in rapid time
Without it’s trying presence
Your world is now sublime

Wishing you a day filled with sunshine,
even if your weather isn’t smiling! ♥

Bliss
His fingers played
my body
like a pianist
plays his keys
He knew
what I needed
He knew
how to please
This was my desire
even for only
an hour
forcing worries
from my mind
offering
vacation time
Pleasure poured
from his fingertips
as I slipped
from reality
questioning my
mortality
It wouldn’t
be right
to bear this
collage of thoughts
I hold
but this massage
trumps value
of the purest gold

Pillow
Tears fall into a pool
on my pillow
while my mind attempts
to join my body
for an evening of rest
It’s not the best night
for a mutual agreement
Instead, my stomach
entertains a live
basketball game
where thoughts dribble
and strategy is weak
The score, you ask?
It’s looking like a blowout
not in my favor
but I now see the sun
peeking into a new day
I’ve made an appointment
to get my attitude colored
I believe highlights of
optimism would be an
appealing change
then I’ll start to pave
a new path and
be on my way

Bruises
The storm was grueling
I wasn’t sure I’d get out alive
even following the aftermath
I didn’t think I’d survive
The physical blows didn’t cut
as deep as the verbal fumes
bruises became darker
leaving my emotions in ruins
(How must one touch the stars
when they feel nothing is theirs
for the reaching?
How must one climb
when their feet
seem to be slipping?)
I heard encouragement often
which made my heart swell
but words come easy when
not living in hell
In my solitary moments, I pondered
over those adjectives and verbs
and finally grasped the strength
to pull me up and move me forward
It’s not easy to break away
from the storm
but Hope is the illumination
that will always bring us home

I prefer writing in first person, but the content is fiction.
However, I wrote this for those who have been
or are in abusive relationships.
I hope and pray they find a way out;
no one is deserving of anything less than being treated
with love and respect.

Clear Navigation
Before dipping your toes in,
you should know that no
relationship will be
smooth sailing
all the way
It will have its
share of maintenance
to be tended to on
any given day
If you keep an open
mind and store it
above board
there’ll be no cause
for running ashore
Wear trust and
communication
as you would a favorite
shirt , remember
you’re both the captain,
then no one should
get hurt
You can now build
your boat together
Set sail
You’re ready
for any kind of weather

Contemplation
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
