Mermaid of the Waves
06 September 2006
The body beautiful
mermaid of the waves
Just to look and see that prize
the paper cup upon a mantle
A candle to those triumphs
an element electrically unplugged
Muscular structure, truth from within
flexing, stretching, radiating glory
Her eyes, her heart, her inner-soul
maybe not perfection, just divinity
Passion and compassion moulded
envelopment, ecstasy engulfed
The body beautified, her tail taught
her pureness to elevate
A mermaid, yet a woman in illusion
this vision, televised in introspect
“Your remembrances are like unto ashes,
your bodies to bodies of clay. “
Job 13: 12 KJV

Posted: 9/6/2006 6:38:08 AM | Om! - Good to see you and thanks for your kind words. It's been a struggle for me, too, with the writes but I figure squeezing out mediocre stuff may help me get back into motion again. Always thinking of you, too, my dear friend and hope you are well. 
JD - I thank you for your beautiful write,your kindness and blessed friendship across the waves. You have touched me in so many ways. I wish you were here, too, my friend. Good friends are very hard to find. A rare gem indeed. If you WERE here, I'd smother you with tons of these - 
Poet - That write definately fits the picture to a tee! Awesome and thanks for sharing my friend.
Single
Once again, I'm single,
No time to mingle.
Just want to relax,
Straighten out my tracks.
Find me, once again,
Maybe I'll move on then.
But, than again, maybe not,
Enjoy single life alot.
Don't need a man,
To hold my hand.
My family and friends,
Love always transcends.
That's all I need,
In life to succeed. | |

Posted: 9/6/2006 11:52:12 AM | ltliving---I enjoyed your above poem. A lot of wisdom in it. I know people that jump from one relationship to another without any time to reflect. And they wonder why they stay messed up in the head all the time. You have made my day brighter by your words. Thank you for the kind things that you said. Where are the teleporting machines when you need them? LOL  I want one, maybe two just in case the first one breaks down. LOL Seriously though, I do appreciate your kindness and respect that you have always treated me with. I am with you in thoughts and spirit.
"To a friend"
I know your troubles
May bring you down
And take your smile
Putting on a frown
It's never easy
I will not lie
But you have a friend
Til the day you die
No matter what
I will listen to your pain
And stand by you
When falls the rain
Know that you are never
Totally alone
For in my heart
A friendship has grown
Through cyberspace
This hugs for you
And a kiss on your cheek
Because I care for you | |

Posted: 9/6/2006 10:32:03 PM | Hey LT .... just droppin in in return with a line or two
partly inspired by you
partly something new
mostly just a spew
   
-------- New Paint -----------
How can I love another
with this burning in my soul
desire to feel the peace again
leads nowhere without a goal
despair has lost its attraction
the blues are boring and lame
depression is just distraction
time to zone out of the game
empty heart and empty mind
makes open the door of me
ready to feed and swallow whole
whatever I need to be
true as age increasing
true as water in life
true as moments outside time
will happen once or twice
how will I love another
in body and in soul
in discussing every latent desire
then laughing over a bowl
accepting things with salty resolve
again without complaint
holding hands in public
while we pick out the new paint.

Posted: 9/7/2006 6:59:06 AM | JD - Teleporting in my mind!!! Thank you for your beautiful and uplifting poem. A great start to my morning.
Thorb - Very nice. That sounds like something to look forward to. Thank you!
Liar
I cannot understand why,
you would choose to lie.
It makes no sense to me,
for I believe in honesty.
Nothing could be so bad,
for lies make people sad.
Sometimes truth cuts deep,
but lies make people weep.
I will never understand why,
you would choose to lie.
But, you made your choice.
No one hears your voice. | |

Posted: 9/7/2006 8:50:34 PM | Hi Ltliving, how is it going?
A Blocked Memory
Feelings inside painful as thorns
Not knowing why this pain eats and devours
No matter how much I try to escape it
I can't
A memory blocked trying to surface
A soul that has only one choice
To unblock it eventhough
The feeling of it is so horrible
So I fall into a trance
Bring the memory out
I wish I never did
The memory is worse than the pain itself
A memory I don't want
Even if its a false memory
It's covering for something worse
I bury it back into the mind
and never want to think about it again
because its a memory that can't be handled...
Now I know what the memory is everything else
seems tolerable and even the simplest can bring the biggest amount of happiness
and humor. Kind of ironic=)

Would I?
My son asked me today,
if I could take it all away,
Would I?
I wouldn't have changed anything,
experiences have made my heart sing.
Without all of the lessons I've learned,
this life I have, I wouldn't have earned.
I may not have much to really show,
but I have grown by going with the flow.
I love you son and am very proud of you,
for you have become a great person, too.
But, no, I wouldn't take it all away,
I'm happy with who I am today.
I wouldn't. | |

Posted: 9/12/2006 6:43:36 AM | Whatcha Gonna Do?
You gonna...
let it beat you
bring you down
make you blue
cause a frown
throw it away
sit and mope
waste the day
lose your hope?
or
You gonna...
just beat it
stand up tall
glow a bit
smile for all
get it back
on the move
fight the black
find your groove? | |

Posted: 9/12/2006 6:44:39 AM | Hi
It seemed to me that this had no end
As if I were stuck in the past
On top of a fence
Either way I looked there was no way down
And if I went down I would be hurt
Now it seems that I am still on the fence
But the perception changed
Even though I still don't have a way down
The people can't stay down there forever
Some of them have gone away
Just like giving up on hunting a animal
When things seem to have no end
They always do
Its just a matter of finding and chosing which way to go. | |

Posted: 9/12/2006 7:05:36 AM | I've been there too, my friend,
straddling that damn fence again.
My thighs have permanent rub spots,
splinters stuck in my skin cause dots.
Stuck up there for quite a long while,
but in the end, it was all worthwhile.
Just to take a few minutes to think,
then step off with a bounce and wink.

Red Bow
I felt your warm presents last night,
your arms wrapped around me tight.
You became my bright red bow,
I melted inside of you, you know.
Your love poured over every inch of me,
I woke up praying so hard for you to see.
Thank you, Mom, for being so near,
I miss you much and love you dear.

Smile
It felt so good
to see that smile.
If only you could
keep it for awhile.
The joy you shared
with me that day.
It showed you cared
in a special way.
A memory sealed within
of one brilliant moment.
Forever cherish your grin
one hundred ten percent. | |

Posted: 9/25/2006 9:47:29 AM | Hi all. Sorry it's been a while. Sometimes it is good to just take a break, you know?
Addiction
Deranged twist of mouth,
Topsy turvy gone south.
Frigid turkey gobbles brain,
Pacing floor thoroughly insane.
Nicotine addiction agonizing hell,
Pacing tediously tortured spell.
Beware, pray stay away,
Witches cannot come play. | |
