Pictures in the heart

I've had a wonderful afternoon, catching up with an old school friend... places we walked remind me so much of you, in such a good way. I even showed her your picture; quite brave, I thought. For you, precious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCNJBopK25I&feature=related A perfect autumn afternoon,... Sign in to see full entry.

Agape

Thank you baby for your kindness... At the end of my tether, You held me. I won't forget that. If there is some spark, some hope, I want you to tell me, No matter where or when. I cannot let you go from my heart; I'm afraid I love you. Always have. I wasn't dreaming... and I was at the end of my... Sign in to see full entry.

Home... of a sort

Two hours on the bus today, Three if you add in the morning. No place to be without transport. My car - an old one - needs work. If we were together baby, I would go with you. If we were together, I would not be alone, managing - Just barely... Soon to move From a kind friend's house Into a room, in... Sign in to see full entry.

Venus Retrograde

Confusion for lovers, planetary blues.. Is it the same for you, too? Monday in the meeting you are already seated, I walk into the room, not expecting to see you there, We say hello, or 'hi'.. I decide to decline The empty chair beside you, There is a bag beneath, besides... A colleague returns, you... Sign in to see full entry.

Sleepy

The long day is past, elusive sleep beckons, Elusive because it's the time I miss you... Not in actuality because we never had that, It was in the middle-distant future, once. I so miss the warmth of the love you gave me While you shared yourself with me, Seemingly all so futile now. How could I... Sign in to see full entry.

After

After a huge meltdown on Sunday and another bigger one on Monday, it has been a strangely calm few days, until the drive home after a long day. After During coffee on Friday I wanted to reach out to you, But mustn't. A polite 'see you,' And back to work, two floors apart. I wanted to be driving home... Sign in to see full entry.

Tell me

Thank you Father for the blessings of this day For the message from my son, For the cool of evening after a hot day, For food and for shelter, And for money enough to spend On a coffee and a miniature fruit pie. Thank you Father for teaching me about love, Even though it hurts. And now I ask you... Sign in to see full entry.

Do you remember?

Thank you for coffee today.. I do so miss you. Thank you for being just you And for not mentioning 'her' Thank you for not minding, When I instinctively touched your arm In an empathetic moment.. And thank you, baby, for just saying yes When I asked you if you remembered Where we were, five years... Sign in to see full entry.

It's broken

and you broke it baby... This was my heart, and it was yours, and you stood on it. How do I heal from this? What will lessen the pain? Only work, and sleep... when i can. And when I wake, at four a.m, and want to text you, I have to wonder.. are you with her? I don't care. I'm not jealous. She... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Poetry in odd moments. A woman is not a piece of fiction, nor is she a reflection of a man's insecurities or anxieties. I wonder if Professor Higgins realised that, in creating Eliza Doolittle in his preferred image, he was taking away her soul? After some years of turbulence, I feel like I am coming out of the tunnel. It's a good feeling. Even so, as you will see from my journal works, since we are the sum of all our experiences, good or bad, sometimes things come back and bite us when we least expect it. Now I just take things one day at a time. I don't sleep a lot however!
