Monday’s Memo :) (re-post)

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry4 Comments

Dear, Dear Weekend

Where have you gone

Your visit ended suddenly

I feel so forlorn

but Iā€™ll make it through

the next five days

with smiles and laughter

Confidence and praise

Iā€™ll miss you terribly

though, Iā€™m grateful for this day

and itā€™s new opportunities

more input for my brain

So until we meet again

I bid you farewell

Stay happy and cheerful

Take care of yourself!

Craving

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry30 Comments

chocolate

I’m over you completely
Where once was a sweetness
that entranced your heart
now lies a bitter taste
keeping us apart

and no, I don’t crave
your feather kisses
your warm embraces
or your slow, soft touches
that bring delicious tingles

and you donā€™t hold my mind
captive each and every day
in every moment Iā€™m awake
or star in my dreams
creating an emotional ache

Of course, I don’t need you,
like the air I breathe
in each day to survive
You can be sure
I’m doing just fine

For You

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry26 Comments

new Jasmine buds

Sadness is my anchor

for the bruises on your heart

for the pain in your soul

for answers untold

I seek soothing words

to ease your mind

but to their presence

I am blind

In hoping to comfort

a new prayer is said

for healing and peace

and all pain released

Winter’s Gift

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry, Romantic40 Comments

fireplace

Iā€™m mesmerized by the colors
that dance across your face
as flames carry out a jazz recital
my heartbeat meets their pace

Your eyes penetrate
with a hunger that feeds
You touch me with your thoughts
fulfilling all my needs

Wrap your warmth around me
with soul, body, and mind
and touch my lips so gently
to taste the sweet, sweet wine
