Tin Roof Rusty

  Its been a LONG time since I've blogged...
    so like the title implies ... I'm a bit rusty.
But I need to pull the pen out and journal, so to speak.
So here I am.
Lots of things are happening in my world.
New job. Buying a home. New people in my life.
Good changes.
Change is good.
I'm happy and finding my niche in where I am.
But my gypsy side is itching for the apple cart to topple.
It always does.
this year , this next year is and will be devoted to learning new things
and accomplishing /completing unfinished projects.
Number one on the list: my novel
and publishing my poetry.
Then maybe all those myriad of half finished crochet projects. HA.
I'm going to re-learn French.
Explore something I've always been interested in (but that is just for me).
Get my passport.
And start the herb garden of my dreams.
OH... and blog everyday.
    See y'all tomorrow.

anew

anew

breathe upon me--

your obsessive creature;

your dutiful servant--

forever at your feet.

even as you may rip my heart to bits

i still sit at your feet,

 puzzling over the pieces::

to recreate the gift; 

to present the heart to you 

anew.

emotional hostage

 

a Gulliver held

 by the Lilliputian lines and phrases

of another's desperation;

scrambled affection;

urgent pleas of validation;

token compliments.

 

cast adrift in the sea

of self pity and abasement

in which one is the only life preserver.

unwittingly.

unwillingly.

unprepared.

yet terrified of causing the tsunami of turmoil

that could cause another soul to drown

forever.

 

haunted

by shades of what if and what where

of crystals gone dark

of lives unlived

of time past by

unrelenting limbo

of cries of freedom

of voices unheard

of fear to act or not.
