Coming Spring

Every day she waits
Watching from her
attic window

Searching…

Brown eyes peering
through the fog

Hoping…

to see the one and only sign
that will release her
from this Prison…

Shapes Like Stars

As night closes in
on my suffering soul

I look into the sky
Searching…

Focusing on the western
skyline…
I smile to see
happy dancing shapes
like stars shower
down on me
soothing my soul

Adventure

Tube map in hand
Ready for an 
Adventure

Londoners are
a friendly lot…
Easy to talk to 
and helpful 
finding my way

On my own in 
a foreign city…
Finding my way
and meeting so
many interesting
people

Undercover

Undercover lover
You are mine
And…
I am yours
Mind…
Body…
Heart…
Soul…

Quiet…
Unassuming…
Yet…
Loyal to a fault

No one knows
No one ever will
But…
What we have
What we share
is Everlasting

Rant of Silence

Rant of Silence

Two can play that game
you ignore me
And…
I ignore you

Each circling the other
not saying what 
needs to be said
not getting our 
feelings out in the open
letting that argument
see the light of day

Frustration builds
resentment begins
the longer our 
Rant of Silence
hides in the shadows

Valentine Surprise

12/7/2014

0 Comments

 

February 16, 2014

It was just another Friday to her.  For others, the most romantic day of the year - Valentine's Day.

It had been years since there was a significant other, someone to love, a best friend, soul mate… in her life. She decided that "unlovable" described her and maybe she wasn't cut out to have someone to love or someone who loved her.

When she lost her husband and only child in the blink of an eye, love died with them.  She cried, yelled, cursed the world and grieved for years.  Then when she thought it was time to move on, there was no one to move on with.

Oh well, maybe it was for the best.  her grieving years were her dress rehearsal for being terminally alone.

Shaking her head, she inched forward in the drive through line at the local coffee shop.  Every car she could see held a lone person - male and/or female.  There should be a way for all of these people to get together, meet, talk, and become acquainted.

Driving up to the window, she was told the gentleman in front of her had bought her coffee.  Along
with her steaming cup of sanity the girl handed her a note.

"Kim, it is good to see you out and about.  Could we get together for coffee soon. My wife just lost her long battle with cancer and I need a friend who understands what I am feeling right now.  Call me at this number when you have time to talk." The note was signed by John Grant.

Oh my, she thought.  She had been in her own world of grief and pain that she totally forgot about her husband's best friend John.  How horrible for him to have suffered and she not reach out to him.
She would call him when all her errands for the day were done.  Maybe there are friends out there after all.

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep is in a strange 
love/hate relationship
with me lately

Falling asleep only
to find myself
wide-eyed a
few hours later

Sometimes I'm
hungry…
and a snack is
in order

Others it is prime time
for reading, writing, or
catching up on TV

Staying awake long enough
to find myself sleepy again
is a good thing

Night after night
sleep…
wake…
sleep…
wake…
until I find myself
ready to call
it a night
And…

Get coffee going 
to begin planning
my day
