Love Leads Words

-

My heart starts
To exhibit different
Characteristics
Slipping
Gradually
Out of me
It finds 
Its legs 
And heads
Off into some dark unknown
Traversing
A forest
Far from 
Its home 
No compass 
To guide it 
Blinded by its own
Ambitions
To live in 
Something greater than
Myself
The humble home
In which its dwelled
It is compelled
By visions of grandeur
Wishing for some pure
Perfect
Place
To lay
And stay awhile
It faces
Endless open places
Great expanses
Of empty
Sadness
Sadly
It presses on
Sinks quick
In sands
Hot from the sun
Some
Barren scope of land
Leaving it numb
But it is
Ever strong
Never done
Battles brambles
Thorns
Sunk deep
In the sweet
Of this flesh
And yet
Still it rises
Ready
Steady on across
Oceans
Of hoping
Nearly drowning
As waves
Break
Repeatedly
Not once heeding
Me and my warnings
Storming
Through life like
It sees its last
Morning
Just on the horizon
And I am
On alert
For the hurt
And the pieces
It leaves
In its wake
While somehow still brave
Still willing to make
Sacrifices
Fighting for its truth
My heart
Has become earnest
In its search
For you
It urges me to see
With its eyes
To breathe
With ease
In time
As it searches
For its place
Safe
Sound
Somewhere out
Along your edge
My heart
Has found its legs
And I am left
To follow
Its footsteps

24 with 3 kids  and he  is the man of her mothers dreams  or so it seemed  when she was pressed  to impress him  mommy stressed that she dress in  something to catch his eye  and I guess  she made her attempt  cause she caught him  but really it was not needed  he was bartering for a place to stay  and she was offered  as a bargain on the rent  take my daughter  no money spent  and so two lost souls  got together  got the better  of life  man and wife  and weight and struggle  and stress and yes  it was somehow  more than she had planned for herself  she felt suffocated by life  by love  by us  3 kids and this is just too much  she found her feet  and backpedaled quick  out the door  down the street  taking all the heat for being  "that kind of mother"  walking away...

Diluted Words

self love cause I  let myself  cry in the shower hard ugly  racking  sobs chest  burning  lungs  gasping asking me to relax self love cause  I  admit to myself that I'm unhappy unworthy under self imposed pressures that I never  ease up on self love  cause  I know deep in the places I never let  anyone see I am nothing no one  never have been  never having the strength  to be my own best friend self love  cause I let myself remember  what was done  and I let the ache wash over  me hot as this water hot as this shame  that I claim when I think  of opening up  of being vulnerable  self love cause I won't ever be  that weak  I will keep  my distance my dismissive  dark thoughts  at the forefront  of my mind  self love  cause I'm too broken to fuck  around and find love  find out that I was right  this whole time ...

Romance Words

I am looking for  a little bit  of romance I am weak for it in need of it the sweet  of it a confection  of care and feelings  with  delicate  textures buttery  vestures heartfelt  melt in my mouth  gestures I want kindness wrapped  like ribbons in my hair lace edged everything warm  low  lights soft  heat  gentle pressure urging pleas of please lavender  and velvet  soft at the back  of knees plush lush  rugs  to caress  my spine to beg me  to recline strawberry jam  on golden  spoons  under a golden  moon  hung low in the sky stars glowing the indigo blanket of night  the soft pastels  of dawn  sun casting gentle shadows on a verdant lawn checkered blankets wicker hampers a day  blue and bright hands in hands soft smiles bubblegum blushed cheeks subtle glances asking all the things  I need flowers  flirting ...
