Blackbird Poetry

She decided she needed something different She decided to change something for real She always had hated her earlobes Her lips would never "seal the deal". Her tummy was now flabby And her arms now jiggled when she walked She wanted some quick fix that reflected a "new" girl Instead of the girl she got.  So she went to the cosmopolitan city And checked in at the spa And she had her looks evaluated They even checked out her ta ta's!  And when they finished up the exam An estimate they had comprised They told her to come back again,  Once she had gotten over her surprise.... Because the list was now quite long Longer than she suspected once before And she wondered how she had not known To much of her bitter horror! She went home and thought about it And cried a little too-  How could the people at the spa Let her leave with so much left to do?  Then she drove back to the city With all the money she had saved,  And asked fo...

Bury the stories I've shared with you Put them in a box for a rainy day When you're home all alone And you're scarred- and your torn You can come back to them. Love isn't just passion in the dark It's when you've been through something together And you open your heart And you give something away,  and you get something back, And you find beauty, trust and love there Don't forget the stories we've shared Remember what it all meant and how we got there Remember the games that we played  And the bed that we made and promise me that you'll remember So we've had years of both bad and good Had busy lives in this neighborhood May've fought once in a while But we always reconciled And we always had trust and beauty there. I was in the yard when I got the news It was a letter from my doctor about the bruise I had a positive test The timeline was hard-pressed. God smashed my beauty and trust there.  They s...

Why do you ask when it's not yours to know? Why do you always say things that leave me wanting more? When I hear your voice it's more than just a song.... It's the passion that keeps me turned on... Could this be forever, of wanting you so near? Right now you're miles away, would it be the same if you were here?' Desire is a loud noise that screams from my soul These inherent urges keep me from being in control. Could you stop asking me if I'm finally over you? Why would you ask, if it wasn't madness for you too... ?

Twilight and midsummer nights, The forest awards from her sleep. The fairy elves dance in the new fallen snow, And the sleepy-eyed owl watches them. She keeps them all under watch Guarding them ever so Willing to protect their Mystical play Yet careful to never be heard!

We were good friends-  So many times Pass before my mind Good times- happy times So many times. I did trust you Only to have you Spit in my face and walk by. Our time together was remarkable Till it wore down to a single thread And was ripped from beneathe the Feet in which I walked. I thought of you as a true friend Trustworthy and lifelong Our eyes sparkled at the plans that we made Only to drip from our lids As the dreams faded away. Successes turned into jealousies And jealousies into bitterness. Now our eyes meet And we see incomplete plans Both of us hating the other for not following through What started out as the truest of friendships failed to last And the roses we had once Have crumbled from the grip we once held.

Fantasies were once All that I held, And dreams were Everything and more. Yet now I see What is now in my grasp And I realize my search Is for more. I've walked for miles With barely a clue Thinking just a smile for me would be fine, But what I want now Is suddenly becoming clear And whatever I choose will be mine.
