Poetry
I remember the excitement
my thoughts bursting with ideas
like I couldn’t get home fast enough
walking home from a poetry reading
inspired
My mind rehearsing the lines over and over
my heart was pounding harder and harder
energy
I couldn’t wait to start writing
this was years ago
but something happened
I don’t remember what but something grab my attention and I not got to it
I never wrote them down
my ideas are gone now forever
I am so sad
I let the baby inside me die by distraction
I don’t even remember what the distraction was that’s how insidious distractions are
they promise they will just take a minute that
they will just be one
don’t worry the next distractions says
you’ll soon return to those ideas in your head
how many still born poems rot inside us
what happens to them
when I am touched by a beautiful piece of art and I feel my body shake
Is it all the unwritten poems crying out
jealous they get to see the light of day
making me shed tears
I am creative, quirky and caring
I am solid and hold my ground
I am free, I am strong and daring
I am a force to be Reckoned with
I am like the sound of the violin that pierces threw your soul
I am feisty opinionated and if crossed I will cut you a new role
I am grateful for your consideration, humor and willing energy
I am the one the falls in love with your candor and integrity
I am tired of being ignored
I am the one too curious to be bored
I am a trail blazer with that quiet confidence that perseveres
I am in constant motion always progressing throughout the years
I am courageous marching forward without a doubt
I am tall reflective and insightful
I am funny refreshing and delightful
I am a mobster lobster an acadian visionary
i am organized, concise and my list making skills are scary
I am a rebel a cad a rockabilly hipster
I am adventurous and resourceful
I am a complex and multifaceted twister
I am the seeker of truth and passion
I am quick, direct, and put that thought into action
I am a spin DR for the chagrined and I can see the force that you have within
I am a the supporter of your hopes and idiosyncrasies
I am speaker an advocate and a proud charming oddity
I am made for brainstorming and focus groups
I was once part of many an improv troupe
I am mediator a locator a collector of ideas
I am the fire the spark and ignition to your dream
I am the questioning philosopher to the mainstream
And when I am faced with temporary defeat I sing dance and shake it off as the task is not complete
I am a thoughtful creator that brings light to the unseen
I am blind,
beautiful
and a fucking queen
A tingly full bodied feeling came over me
As I create and follow my truth with a zest and confidence
I am in touch with my inner feminine badass, a goddess within
Playful in action mind you she has sensible substance seeing the emotions of others
Relieves them with concern and a gentle humor
The calm and happy wise soul who dares to act boldly with a cheeky smile on her face
There is fluidity and freedom working in collaboration love is present and time forgives
A joyfulness spirit approaches when you trust you are safe and cherished my beloved
Be filled with what nurtures you go towards it there is far more then you imagine
She feels what is beneath her senses are awakened a vulnerable strength emerges
Others can’t help but be drawn in to assist her at the ready they offer their leadership
She receives and directs with equality it’s a supported and engaged team
Everything you need is right there listen to the stillness and participate fully
Speak now genuine fire as soon as you are compelled
It takes over you do not know if it’s you or her
Ideas are incorporated together they melt as one
United and yet beautifully complex
Intricate diversity fogs the mind and stirs the soul
At a glance it seems simple but pay attention there is so much to learn
You are afraid and yet come closer that’s when I embrace you
For your courage and your unbridled words warms my heart
Be here now dance
She regrets nothing
Speak to her
Keep going and you will get there
Be at ease you will move with a renewed vigor
Notice there is magic at work
Allow it to come in
Enjoy and remember to praise
For life is so beautiful when you look past the masquerade
Integrity dances firm and frames you nicely
While you flirt with ideas and choose wisely
I see your disconnection and loneliness and I say to you it’s a lie that sets you apart
You may not feel it now but you are stalling and blocking the desires of the heart
Sink into your soul and listen to the greater force that you have
Live to serve and see the whimsy
steadfast patient but comes off clumbsy
Behold and get ready to meet the love of your life
it’s in the courageous acts of passion
Where your heart sings and you connect with what strengthens you
Meet her now she is in you ready to be admired to be heard to give herself to the world
Surrender and she will be with you always
You have no one to impress but your self respect
She has much to do and so much to offer
Wont you let her?
Wont you love her?
spend time with and just be her?
