To Be a Woman is a Walking Paradox

A woman's feelings Who can understand A woman's feelings Certainly not a man A woman is strong yet fragile yet hard yet vulnerable yet resilient yet hell bent... on anything , everything , she finds important at the moment, at the break of day, at the end of day, when feelings can no longer be  kept at bay A walking paradox One that can knock his socks off Just like she can, and that girl over there can too And that's why a woman feels insecure and at times doesn't know what to do Grace and magic gifted unto us from a source, the Universe But we're all gifted, all magic, it's our blessing, it's our curse what could be worse to bear such a strength, such power yet fall weak, even cower, at the strength of another, one of our own, one of our kind one of mystery, of fantasy, one whose beauty is such to make you feel blind Blind to your own, your own beauty, your own source, your own sorceress Your own state of bliss Don't be blinde...

The More Good You Do The Less Bad You'll Do A Poem

Image
The more good you do The less bad you'll do It sounds so simple but it's so very true Because doing good makes you feel good Even more so than you knew it would Doing good gives you energy, health and vitality And makes you appreciate life and see it how it's supposed to be- Beautiful, miraculous, amazing and true And you're a part of that good... yes, you ! So do good, do your part It doesn't take much to go ahead and start Do it today and if it must wait until tomorrow write it down so you won't forget Because the  good flame will burn on once the candle is lit! Inspired by a day with horses Me, riding down a path at a friend's farm as Sammy looked on.

Poem to Release Negative Feelings

Image
Revised 03-29-18 I can stand being around myself But I can't always stand being around myself with someone else A perfect stranger is OK, but someone I know really well sometimes doesn't make me feel that swell I'm OK to touch but to talk calmly, rationally, not so much Is it cool to be this way? Not so much When will I reintegrate? How long will it take? Why do I have to reintegrate every day, sometimes the whole day through? Why can't it be done once and that's it, you're through? Apaga la mente That's the solution para toda la gente Pónte en un estado de 'ser' to the point you forget how it feels to care The problem- it can take a mind-altering substance or a national disaster to get you there... to that place where u no longer care. Surrender Detachment, as the Buddhists call it If it were tangible I'd eat it I'd sell it I'd haul it Initially written in my notebook, in early June on a gloomy day M...

Don't Let It All Be In Vain God don't let all of this suffering be in vain Your world is like a stitched, oozy wound without a drain Everyone and everything seems to be bursting at the seams Who can really blame the drunks, addicts and fiends Perhaps they've got it right, finding a suitable numbing device Until it becomes a vice, costing them their life But is that such a terrible price to pay? We're all going to die anyway. Just please don't let it all be in vain If there's no happy place here-ever-after it 'd be a real shame For all those that waited day in and day out for their luck to change only to take the blue juice to the vain For all those that went to bed hungry night after night counting their blessings rather than pondering their plight For those that died for having beautiful tusks or amazing coats to feed an ever-hungry population God for these and for all let there be a happy-ever-after, a place of salvation! Please don'...

Every Day Revelations- Poem

Image
I have a bed to lay my head revelation I have a home to call my own revelation I have a man that doesn't roam revelation I have good health, that's better than wealth revelation I have a bird that constantly talks but doesn't know a word revelation I have a cat that a car hasn't made go splat revelation I have a vision, a seed of faith that keeps me safe revelation I have a car that takes me near and far revelation I have a job that sometimes makes me sob revelation I have a family that's always there for me revelation I have stuff to eat, that keeps me on beat revelation I have rhythm for when I get the blues revelation I have 4 dogs; they're softer and sweeter than frogs revelation I have hundreds of simple reasons to say the word revelation and had this revelation without even having to take a vacation. :)
