You take a piece of my
Heart…
I’m wondering how much
Longer…
It will be until
I…
Am only an empty
Shell…
I suppose
Time…
Will tell

Hello destiny
I’m…
Still striving
To…
Meet and
Greet…
You with a
Smile…
Why are you
Mysterious?
Is it because
You…
Are a
Powerful evolution of
Spirit…
Or…
The burning
Torch…
In my
Soul…
That burns
Until the
End…
Or is it
Fate?

Being married at the young age of 18, and now in my fifties, I remember the day vividly.
September 15th 2011 was the first time I started living alone. I was extremely busy most of the day, cleaning, and shopping for groceries, and small appliances.
When I sat down to rest, the reality of being along begin to overwhelm me. It formed a burning pit in my stomach. I started visualizing the future of cooking for myself, eating alone, and knowing how much I will miss the sound of a voice, even though the words were no longer loving, they were harsh; a cutting edge to a bleeding heart. Nevertheless, it was a voice and the walls didn’t smother me, and the ceiling collapse into the floor, and I was the matted carpet to walk on. At least, not every day.
Once the day turned dark, I cringed when I looked at the bed. I had to sleep alone. It was cold and uninviting even with the exhaustion that had consumed my body from the day’s activities.
Exhaustion of the body, didn’t take precedence over the pondering mind. The nights turned to days, and I continue to toss these same thoughts month after month. Which have added up to a couple of years.
I hope and pray that someday, I will not sleep alone, and eat alone. I’m not meant to live alone.

Talking To Self

The withered mind
Gets lost at times
I was feeling low
But in the quiet
Of the day
I took a walk
And told myself
Not to sulk
Be thankful
And gracious
For what I have
And where I am
What I escaped from
Stay positive and strong
Don’t be weak
Don’t let the restfulness
Begin to leak
I’m always
Moving forward
Stepping stones
Are obstacles
Along the bumpy ride
To strive
In life

Superficial

A quirky Thought, Future, Life, Non Fiction, Peace Aging, Beauty, Blogger, Life, Natural, Vain, Writer 4 Comments
Scratch the surface
Dig deep for the treasure of reality
Superficial, is only a fake take in life
Injections of Botox in the face
Give me wrinkles of my journeys
A map from the past, to my present
The real, unadulterated
Me..
If this is not good enough for you
Rest assured it is for
Me..
Love yourself
So that you may
Love others
We are naturally beautiful

Endless Love

Fiction, Flames, Future, Poem Endless Love, Poem, Poet, WordPress, Writer 14 Comments
My love will burn like a flameless candle
Burning throughout eternity
It will never be distinguished
A flicker forever in my soul
And this I’ve been told
Along the path, from the
Whispering pines
But for now
It is dormant
Somehow…I know
Death will light the
Spark
Love will never die
I don’t know about yours
But; I do know about mine

The Arctic

Future, Life, Nature, Poem Artic, Environment, Global warming, Polar bear, Sea ice 4 Comments
A polar bear, massive and beautiful
Lying dead in the Arctic, starved to death
Global warming, melting ice, it didn’t have a prayer
A puffy cloud, with fur so white
Slumped and isolated on the ground
Waiting to be found
The photograph I saw of this
It truly broke my heart
If only we would do our part
To help our world from falling apart
It’s unfathomable in the near future
Polar bears will no longer swim in the ocean
Or roam the Arctic, they will be extinct
Prehistoric fossils frozen in the sea ice
And sprawled out across the land
Reaching The Star

Nothing is beyond your reach
Build an extension of self
Once the wounds heal
All that is left are scars
They will no longer be visible
To the naked eye, having buried them
Deep inside
Look in the sky
Reach and grab the one, and only
Twinkling star
Everyone is Welcome!
