The Mystery of Woman

The cave of the Woman is primitive, sacred; A place where no man may enter. The secrets which bide there are Mysteries of the Goddess. The Woman, primitive herself, gives birth. New life! Another Mystery given breath to cry out, "I am HERE!", in a lusty wail. What wonder sees this child suckle at... Sign in to see full entry.

Untitled Poem..............................................................

I don't remember exactly when I wrote this but I know it was sometime before I had my second child as I only mention my first. Despair fills my soul. Lonliness, melancholy, self pity. My life, an empty existence, stretching out before me as the cold, silent void surrounds my heart. Only one joy in... Sign in to see full entry.

There is a Bruise on My Heart..............................................

There is a bruise on my heart, an ache in my soul. Misunderstand me. Assumptions abound. My feelings you cannot comprehend. Words, like poison, flow from your tongue. Hurtful. Hateful. Degrading my humanity. Does it make you feel better? Will it heal the festering wound that is your heart? Sign in to see full entry.

The Wind Howls.............................................................

The wind outside my window howls. It shakes and rattles, moans and whines. Begging my attention, what does it say? Maybe rain is on the way. Speaking loudly, what does it shout? It bosses the shrubs and trees about. So warm and cozy in my abode, ignore the wind and silence hold. It would tangle my... Sign in to see full entry.

Floating Downstream.......

I continue to float; to dream. Reality seems so far, muffled in a cloud of uncertainty. I wish to take wing. Fly away. Fly away. Fly away home. But even home is denied me now. What once was sanctuary is anathema to me; safe haven no more. So I float downstream, face down in my dreams. Sign in to see full entry.

A final poem before I go...................................................

to work... Particles of shimmering light, filtering through the trees. Moonlight on the water, sparkling in my eyes. Dazzled by my dreams, reality seems so far. Written July 15, 1992 Sign in to see full entry.

Time flows like memories...................................................

Transient thoughts flow through my mind; Memories of yesterday left behind. Tomorrow comes and passes by, sometimes I stop to wonder why. But not for long, 'cause life goes on; it doesn't wait for me. Written June 16, 1992 Sign in to see full entry.

Untitle Poetry from the past...............................................

Words do ride the waves of sound, which punctuate my ear; in time received with humor well, in other with grace so ill. Written June 5, 1992 What doom is foretold in this morning air? The day, as yet unknown, brings Fate's web to unavoidable entanglement. Our lives, like small flies, do struggle... Sign in to see full entry.

Treasure Trove of Forgotten Poetry Just Discovered!........................

I was digging through some paperwork in my office file cabinet when I found my collection of "Lost Poems". I wrote these in the early 90's while still in my "lonely soul" phase... Truth or Lie What wary Lies do tell today? Which Truths hide bitter secrets? Truth will tell whose lies are sweeter, for... Sign in to see full entry.
