Immeasurable Inspiration Written in 2015
Immeasurable inspiration
It was not quantifiable
It was too extraordinary
To ever nail down.
Like a sail
In the strongest gale
Flapping non-stoppable
That brings to mind
The inspiration you provide.
Like the far reaches of the universe
That will never be discerned
By human eyes.
That is the inspiration you
Give to me.
Yes it is like that phrase
To Infinity
And beyond.
Cosmic brilliance
You entrust me with.
And I cherish your precious gift.

A Proper Examination. A Poem

Do you know how
Lonely I have been
Since your rejection?
I am sure you have
An inkling
From our
Subsequent discussions.
But it could not be helped
You found someone else.
Someone more suitable
Someone who can
Make you happier
Than perhaps I ever could.
If only when your new person
Had shown up
Simultaneously one showed
Up for me.
Is that ever what happens
When couples part?
It is just wishful thinking
From the one
With the broken heart.
Some mourning has to be done
Some burying of emotions
What kind of person
Would I be if I just
Moved on without
A proper examination?
No autopsy done
On why you were
Unsatisfied?
Not to beat myself up
But to learn
For the next guy
Who comes along.A

The Gist Of Matters A Poem

It is hard being emotional
Having them swell
And hit with the force
Of a huge wave
Or the shake one encounters
With an earthquake of
A great magnitude.
Sometimes I want to
Crawl and hide
Curl up in a ball
That old fetal position
That folks show
In music videos.
I know it will pass
As I take one breath
And then another
That is the gist of
Getting through
To the next moment.
Once upon a time
Believe it or not
I was such a stoic
Something my parents
Taught and tried
To bestow
As they dealt
With health
And other crisis'
Somewhere along the line
It was like a dam burst
Emotions came through
At times a flood
Other times much more
Reasonable in their flow.
But still continuous.
I know some folks
Would tell me to
Chill out and relax.
I get that might be
A good way to be
And act.
But it is easy to say.
Easy for them.
They do not inhabit
My head
To which I could laugh.
And that would seem
Like madness.
Proving what they
May have suspected.
I won't finish that thought
They can do with their own.
They can judge
As is their wont
But they are not in my skin
And therein lies
Another gist
That matters.

Companion In A Nighttime Star Light Show A Poem

A man was listing some
Of the things he likes to do
Things he grew up with
Living on a dairy farm
Doing farming stuff
At the end he mentioned
Laying on his back
All night long and
Watching the stars.
That pulled at my heart strings.
It brought to mind
The song by Snow Patrol
Chasing Cars.
Which always made
Me feel bittersweet.
The words so poignant
And of course the song
Will be associated with loss
As Grey's Anatomy
Made it famous.
This new guy
However things turn out
Gave me something
To think about.
How I would love this
Simple romantic act
To be a part of my life
Sometime
In the future.
Not sure with whom
But someone.
My mind can see some
Ex lovers who could fit the bill.
But they had their chance
To be romantic and
At that task they failed.
So now I have in mind
Some new friends
Who I could see
In that role
My companion
In a nighttime
Star light show.
Of course nature may
Give us prompts for
More than just viewing stars
We might hold hands
Caress each other.
Turn toward one another
Inch closer and closer
To have our faces
Viewing the landscape there
Our eyes twinkling
Like the stars above
What can we see
Shining through
From our very souls?
Is it just a physical urge
A need to have sex?
How ordinary
When this moment
Calls for reverence!
Not something cheap
And tawdry!
I know if I choose
The right partner
He would make this moment
Perfect in so many ways.
Simple words
Romantic in their scope.
Telling me my eyes shine
Just like the stars.
Telling me he could look
At them til the end of time.
Telling me that my soul
Has so many facets
He could never know
Them all.
Affection that evoked
Such a tenderness
That my eyes swelled
With emotion.
To which he added
To that list of facets.
Kisses would they ever
Be more sought
Or precise in their giving?
Tender oh so tender
Then some more urgent.
Hands given
The green light to roam.
But they start with
A single finger that
Walks the contours first.
Shivers brought forth.
But heat is beginning
To also smolder.
Cold and hot vie
Not for supremacy.
Guess which one
Wins this rivalry?
Would we dare
To be less clothed
Out in the open?
We are after all
Law abiding citizens.
Ha! We only live once.
We say it out loud
Almost in unison.
So attuned we
Are with each other's thoughts.
I guess I could continue
But I have only got this far
In my mind.
I need someone to take
The next step.
Is there anyone who
Understands that concept?
Taking up where one person
Has left off.
Continue with the flow
With the same intent
Of making it perfect
Or as perfect as can be.
Reverential
Timeless
Blocking out the world
For a moment.

Saying My Name Three Times A Poem

I think he would say
My name three times.
It is that true and tried
Notion of the rule of three
To emphasize something
To be revered
Or fondly remembered.
Ah yes I can see it now.
While he looks into my eyes.
How intense the moment
As he says my name
Perhaps a hand begins
To descend to a part of me.
Gently placing a finger
To my cheek or lips.
I would be hard pressed
To keep a moan suppressed.
It would escape
And he would see
His effect on me.
Ah yes.
He was beginning
To get under my skin
Arousing me with
His reverence
His tenderness
His simple use
Of my name
And it's repetition.

Not So Easily Understood A Poem
|

When I was just sad
That I had broken up
With my last lover.
When people could relate
To my emotions
Being raw.
It was easier.
They could offer empathy.
They could offer encouragement.
They could tell me
There were other fish in the sea.
They could tell me to get
Back in the saddle.
They could tell me
Time heals all wounds.
And I accepted those words
And even started to implement
A new lover search.
But now they are dealing with
Someone who has so many
Hangups and doubts.
They had no idea
They were
The surface.
But it stands to reason
That scars and their tissue
Would make an appearance.
This person they see now
She is not one that is
So easily understood
She is not someone that
Has a blank slate
She has that pain
And wears a badge
Of shame of inadequacy.
How do you deal with her?
Someone had some ideas
gloves and support
Reassurances and understanding
And when those reach inside
And she begins to believe
That there can once again
Be good to come of interaction
Those other adages
Of finding other fish
And getting back in the saddle
Can be employed
And even relished.

Not What I Needed A Poem

I was a little needy
I was a little naughty
But not in the way
You are thinking.
It was just about
Some emotional issues.
It was not anything sexual.
I just told someone things
To see if he was open minded
And not a superficial asshole.
It was kind of a test
But I was being honest.
It was not for just
Anyone's consumption
But for someone who had
Shared stuff with me
On a few occasions.
Have you ever done
Something similar
I am not sure if it is
For shock value in particular
But more so to figure out
How they would handle
Deep thought?
We all want to be validated
We all want to be accepted.
We all want to feel that
We matter to someone
That we are not just
A piece of meat.
And so I admitted some things
To see what he would say.
He passed in a few areas.
He professed a decent
Amount of understanding
And I will give him this
He has his boundaries
And expectations set.
He knows what he wants.
I might have been
In that category
But I took myself out
With one of his responses.
Good thing or I would have
Ended up where I had started
Wanting something
That he did not
Have available.

Negative Thoughts A Poem

Last night I had so much hope.
Then sometime during the night
It was gone.
Thoughts churned and churned
And the hope was lost
Much like a blender makes
It's ingredients into one.
It is good if you like to drink
Certain beverages without lumps.
But in my case something
Added just created
A bitter concoction.
I have a lot of work to do
To build up the strength
To fight off those negative thoughts
I think I should wear
A rubber band on my wrist
And anytime a negative
Thought enters my mind
I pull it back and let it bounce
Against my flesh.
This was a method we tried
As to get rid of bad habits
Like sucking our thumbs
Or biting our nails.
Is there another way
To derail those thoughts?
I suppose I could get
My head shrunk
But that costs a lot of
And my insurance barely
Covers a visit a month.

Fat Chance That. A Poem

You tried
I will give you that
But the task
Was beyond your
Skill level.
The subject too hard
To grasp.
Beyond saving.
You tried
You gave it your best shot
Now all that is left
Is a hail Mary's pass
In other words a miracle
Would have to happen.
Fat chance that.

When Our Words Hold Sway A Poem

When our words
Hold sway
He has this way
Of making feel
All warm and fuzzy.
Our conversations
Run the gamut
Of subjects
One thing we exchange
Our versions of erotic scenes.
But there is more to it
It is not all raw
And animalistic
Although that is present.
It is the aftermath.
How his tender loving care
Is always displayed
And evident.
I think we both feel
A connection that makes
The night a little less lonely.
That while I feel warm and fuzzy
Like a bunny on the inside
He feels the equivalent.
I will leave it up to him
To describe to me
When he can.
When the words come again.
I dare say
I look forward to
The time
When our words
Hold sway.

A Wanting And Willing Woman A Poem

I can't get over the words
He used to describe
So wanting and willing.
They stabbed my heart
Because while we had
That wonderful moment
They were not enough.
He found someone else.
I know I should not dwell
I know I should move on.
But the wanting and willing woman
Was left all alone
And has no current outlet.
No current lover.
While he has another.
Should I make better choices
Reserve that wanting
And willingness
For someone who can
Truly appreciate it
And not take it for granted?
God that is my fondest wish
To find someone who thinks
Of our time together
AS so effing special
He would never want
For someone else.
But he does not exist.
They always find that wanting
And willingness as ordinary
Just another roll in the hay
Just another instance of play
That they can find with any
of women.
I am not unique.
I am not special.
I am just another
Wanting and willing woman
Who shared her bed
With someone who found
It while wonderful
Something that he could
Find with someone else.
Something duplicatable .

Loving Communication Written in 20
While in the throes of melancholy,
She was barely fit for company.
He tiptoed around her
Picking up when he could.
Objects and subjects that
Had escaped her attention.
He knew this episode would pass.
Like a summer shower.
For he had seen it before
In a different hour.
He loved her for her depth of feeling.
How could he denigrate her now?
What she was experiencing was overwhelming
And she had to let it lose its stronghold.
And he recalled
She had done the very same for him.
When he was less than sunny
In his disposition.
Then in an eureka moment
He had the very idea that could save them both.
They could make a pact.
He would bring her one rose
Or another cherished flower
And a note with a poem.
And were she similarly distressed with his actions
She could bring him a beverage
And a poem of his own.
This will not solve everything of course.
But it probably could not hurt.
To know a lover has one's best interest
In their mind and heart.
They could tweak this formula
It could have many renditions.
But they would all have this in common,
Understanding that communication
Was their ultimate desire.
And their shared wish.

Misgivings Written in 20
Over and over again
Go the conversations
In my head
Things you and I
Have said
From the simple
To the
More complicated.
I try and I try
But still
I cannot fathom
What made you
Turn from
What made you
Lose interest
What made you
Disenchanted.
I thought we
Had resolved
All questions
In a timely manner.
That our differences
Were not insurmountable
That we knew better
Than to make
Mountains
of molehills.
I am not infallible
I can admit
I make mistakes
I was hoping
Against the odds
That you would
Not be one of them.
Can you reward
With a reprieve?
Give us another shot?
Can you ease
My mind of doubt ?
Tell my misgivings
I can forget?
That time was just
The element
That I misjudged?
That you are as wonderful
As I originally thought.?
