loose ends

you know, I know
you know that you
are my love. we both
speak the same language
but now, I do not speak
because in my silence,
who can I speak to
and even when we talk,
how can I word out
my tears,

you know, I know
you know that I would
never complicate. my tears
complicate too much even
for me. one would think
tears would end,

but

here I am, once
again alone, drawn
towards you, drawing your image but it has
begun to fade. the longing
does not fade.

I wish it would.

I'd like to close this
story, this chapter,
this phrase, but if I
close this, then you close.
all I have now is that
I love, as I have loved
others before, as you
have loved others before,

please

don't read into this.
I have no desire for complicating.
I hope ... I just hope.

I know I am a fool.

as of today, no regrets.




Greetings and salutations all. I have been on AP for approximately 5 years, off and on. This site has given me many good friends, lots of inspiration, and I believe truly helped me to grow as a writer and poet and become published. I am not as active on here as I used to be, life keeps me busy, but when I am on here I greatly enjoy the contests, the friendships, and the wonderful poetry. A little about me...I am a 36 year old woman living in the southwestern United States. I am the proud mother of five beautiful and talented children. I am Wiccan, IE a witch, and a very spiritual being. I grew up here in Tucson, AZ. but have lived all over this beautiful country of ours. I am very patriotic, and hold a high reverence for my country and my flag. I love animals of all kinds, and nature.


I love words, the most magical things I have ever read have been the fabulous writings of Pablo Neruda. His works touch me deeply. I have a wonderful boyfriend that treats me well, and has helped in my healing. He is a Government teacher at a local high school, and to the shock and dismay of many of my friends lol, he is a Republican politician, and a Christian. We have found the perfect mixture of understanding for one


another's social, religious, and political differences. We have wonderful debates that neither one carries a grudge over. He has made me very happy. He is sweet, sensitive, kind, generous, always a gentleman, and one great kisser.


I have been penning poetry since the age of eight. Some of my favorite poems will follow. Enjoy them. Some of my favorite AP poets will follow as well. Read them if you have time, they are all wonderful and talented. Remember to smile at everyone you meet...it may make their day brighter. Remember when someone smiles at you and brightens your day...they are paying it forward. Hug someone you love each day, whether they have two legs or four. Everyday above ground is a good day!!!!! Make love not war!!! But if war happens support our troops! A fantastic poet on here named Nicolette has a book of her beautiful poetry available for sale. BUY IT! You will not regret it at all. Her words walk you through a garden of love and lilys.

Wonderful words from one of my favorite singers Jack Johnson, with some very smart
smart words of wisdom.


"Cookie Jar"

I would turn on the TV but it's so embarrassing
To see all the other people I don't know what they mean
And it was magic at first when they spoke without sound
But now this world is gonna hurt you better turn that thing down
Turn it around

"It wasn't me", says the boy with the gun
"Sure I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done
Cause life's been killing me ever since it begun
You cant blame me cause I'm too young"

"You can't blame me sure the killer was my son
But I didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
It's the killing on this TV screen
You cant blame me its those images he seen"

Well "You can't blame me", says the media man
Well "I wasn't the one who came up with the plan
I just point my camera at what the people want to see
Man it's a two way mirror and you cant blame me"

"You can't blame me", says the singer of the song
Or the maker of the movie which he based his life on
"It's only entertainment and as anyone can see
The smoke machines and makeup and you cant fool me"

It was you it was me it was every man
We've all got the blood on our hands
We only receive what we demand
And if we want hell then hells what well have

And I would turn on the TV
But it's so embarrassing
To see all the other people
I don't even know what they mean
And it was magic at first
But let everyone down
And now this world is gonna hurt
You better turn it around
Turn it around
