Imperfections of the Soul

Imperfections of the Soul   I’m glad you helped me: to make a fool of myself one more time. Helped me realize how easy it is to lose focus on what matters. Thanks for making me say things. I thought I could never say again. For helping me believe there has to be “better” out there, yet you’re not it. I’m glad you helped me: to understand that it’s too late for apologies, or simply realize everything that glitters definitely isn’t gold. Thank you for making me know I can feel pleasure, when I thought I never would again.   … Continue reading Imperfections of the Soul

Perfect Stranger

Perfect Stranger   In the arms of a stranger, I search for my sanctuary. I come to you for the familiar touch of your hands.         The way you command my every move when we are together As if you know all about what I need. Yet you know nothing about me or my needs. You are merely a stranger.   Clearly, I am not convinced of your abilities to understand without understanding. Instead, I exhaust myself in the pleasures of what you do and not what you say you do. You are merely a stranger. I … Continue reading Perfect Stranger

Perfect Imperfection

Perfect Imperfection Although I’m embarrassed to say I never knew You would have such a spot in my heart when we met.   And just like us,                         our meetings,                                           they got so complex. Convinced that our worlds were so different I resolved myself to the thought, “We would never be.” Because of my inflexible and stubborn ways most of what I felt                         I never expressed.  And I know you clearly have two sides.  So here is what I never said                                                 But always felt.

Soapbox Wednesday: Everyone Has Them

Everyone has them… As much as I have found my level of peace; I am human.  There are certain things that no matter what I do, either rub me the wrong way or triggers that “C’mon Son,” thought in my head.  No, I’m not talking about the normal pet peeves; rude people, inconsiderate smokers, bad drivers, or those dreadful movie talkers.  I’m talking about those things that may only have an impact on that very moment, but until it happens again, you totally forget how much that annoys you.  You know, like carrying a large number grocery bags in both … Continue reading Soapbox Wednesday: Everyone Has Them

Empty

E  m  p  t  y Was all I felt. I focused on my success. That’s it. I needed a better job. Now I could impress the best of them with my resume. But would give it all up To feel set free.   So I changed my focus to my home Maybe if I owned my own. That would help I just knew it would… Yet I came home and I still felt alone   Longing, each day seemed so lonely. All these people around me. Each one telling me they know what’s best. I was being pulled in so … Continue reading Empty

Soapbox Wednesday: Does that make me less of a Woman

I was thinking the other day about decisions we make in our life.  Some of us live out our life on television allowing everyone in on their process toward a big decision.  I mean last summer most of the world watched as LeBron James played out his “Decision.”  Yet to me, decisions are personal.  We go back and forth weighing the pros and cons in our mind and then in most cases we decide.  This brings me to a decision that I believe women experience in some way or another, “Will I have children?” Yes believe it or not, it … Continue reading Soapbox Wednesday: Does that make me less of a Woman
