Premium Member I Miss You

I Miss You...

Like high school tennis practice after classes
at the midpoint of May; so at the peak
of blurry vision owing foggy glasses
owing a humid leak (of which I won’t speak
lest my knees weakly wobble, side to side,
as they did when Coach Notis would tell us
what failed to kill us - when nobody died
or tripped over lines of his murderous 
suicide drill - was done incorrectly -
which in turn led me to question this 
passion of mine, stern and directly,
returned to me answered configured like this:
Why risk your manhood and furrier balls
for something where love all means nothing at all?).

Premium Member Facts Hold Virtues Intact

Pride comes before the fall 
under a tender gaze of midday's sun 
Our Sunday cross 
is being turned upside down 
incorrectly sponsored by none other than the arts council 
as it carries their logo seal of approval stamped all over it 

With groups promoting sin unholy acts attack
Abortion takes the centre staged arena 
dark nights follow anyone supporting 
such an ugly vile deed unchristian barbarism 
tearing a child from the tree of life

Blind beggars God is not with them anymore 
innocence is now plucked from the vine of the living 
condemned to death

Also un-natural against the good living is speaking out of turn 
trying to twist their sins as if born to do so deeply disturbed 
family values is the most productive role in society today 
to overshadow it against creations seed sewn treasures 

The true values we hold are held 
truth inside our mortal souls frame of mind

Born from the spirit of injustices a fire burns 
crying to the Heaven's in dread filled shame for mercies sake 
unhappy victims they become whom 
are chained by incorrect choice 
dressed down silenced good 
yet remains to speak firmly on ignorance 
in an open verdict time 
will catch up 
when the judgement bell tolls 

Numbers each and every single beast 
corrupt to the marrow 
I for one condemn this false face called liberal 
arrogant tunnel visioned traitors 
Removing our Divine King as Lord 
in our most Sacred Heart blessed 
we are protected under his Holy mantel

Try, Try, Try

At night we're all alone in the black nothingness 
Of our slowly crawling mind
We travel back to things done incorrectly or left behind.
Once more, the feelings, ignore...
To the racing thoughts , a blind eye...
"Another day, Another chance ," 
We say,
"Try, Try , Try ".

Success before means success again, 
As we lie in the trenches, together as friends 
Only to arise once more 
Feeling deflated, exploited and less-than before.

While those above us sit behind their desks 
Speaking of their nickels and dimes 
And punch-out clock times, 
And whose notes were done and not yet signed.
After so much pain and loss of life

But for those of us who Give and Give once more,
"Forgiveness is Divine" we'll always Implore 
Another day breaks with its sky pink and gray,
Leaving Our worried thoughts behind 
If we can be of service for yet another day

Premium Member Under a Bridge of Tears

We each and everyone have scar tissue 
laid deeply etched internal conflict hides dialogue

All battles are fought against love condemned un-fairly 
hate tortures all good reasoning over trowing truth

Firstly cursing madness stands as judge 
corrupted fibres removes stitches darned incorrectly

As the tree of life bears fruit from it's branches 
seeds upon this earth has been planted

Like a snowflake born from the living waters of life 
unique in how each of us is constructed underneath

Our souls are immortal holding a frame within time 
the body is merely a temple nourished by golden light

Countdown begins under a corrupted crop sewing lies 
seeing is believing where chastisement begs pardon under oath

Sewing Seams

I saw the difference you made
To the barrenness of your mother
Then I saw you poke fun at a worker
Who thought you were a good lover
...of sewing seams

I saw you reach out to a man
Who struggled to sit still
Then, I saw you ask another
To provide him with a decent meal
...so, it would seem

....LOVE has a question

I heard you spout out your beliefs
With a superior tone of knowledge
Then I heard anger in your voice
As you tried to push him to the edge
....of that perfect seam

I saw you give a dirty woman
Some clothes, food, and some water
Then, I saw you ignore
The silent, but very present, cry from your beautiful daughter
...who wanted to sew your seem

....LOVE wants to know

I saw your quick response
To a fallen man in need of medical attention
Then, you yell at your son
Who earned himself a scholastic detention
....for sewing seems incorrectly

I heard your lecture on the gospel
To a crowd of would be saints
I saw me, sitting in the pocket of the seam
And knew I ain't
....anything like a seam/seem

....LOVE has hemmed me in HIS seam/seem

Written by Trudy Schrader on 08-05-2018

Note: I absolutely LOVE words!!! I hope you see, clearly, what I glimpsed, nearly, in the seam/seem :)

Premium Member Soul Sister

Soul sister how I miss your presence beside me.
Whispering words of strength into my ear.
Guiding me.
Resting your hand upon my shoulder.
Helping me to choose which path to travel.

Even when I have chosen incorrectly.
Your hand never wandered.
Your step never faltered.
You took the blame without shame.
Held me invisibly.
Until the healing warmth could be felt to my inner soul.

In life's little disputes it seems as though I have forgotten you.
The distance seems to have grown out of control.
As though my heart got colder.
A disbelief took over.

I know you have never left me.
You have always been there waiting.
Hoping I would return.
That I would call to you.

I am calling to you.
I search for your inner light.
Long for the warming touch.
I listen even deeper.

To hear your voice whispering into my ear.
A desire to feel the warming of my heart with your touch is growing.
It is what my soul has been missing.

Help me to heal my mind of the ugliness I feel in my heart.
Teach me to see the beauty which my eyes once saw.

Forgive me for allowing a coldness to grow.
Replace the hate with your loving kiss.
Allow me to feel you.
Hear you once again.

The 13th Mother's Day

This is the 13th Mother's Day that has come around since your life came to an end.
When you passed away, I didn't just lose a mother, I also lost my best friend.
We used to spend Mother's Days together but we can't anymore.
You went to Heaven twelve years ago when you were sixty-four.
You became a mother in 1967 when you brought my brother into the world.
I was born almost four years later and you incorrectly believed I'd be a girl.
An aneurysm ended your life and we buried you in the ground.
I can not enjoy Mother's Day because you're no longer around.
I'll join you in Heaven but I don't know when.
But it will be great when we're together again.

Premium Member momz - or what r u going to do

I’m enjoying spending time with my mom - we have an intimacy braided like rope. I forgot how funny she is. At the same time, we’ve been softcore arguing for days.

She wants me to accomplish something this summer - to pad my med-school resume - do anything but relax. But I refuse. If I’m going to complete a master's degree next summer, then I’m going to have fun this summer. Periodt. I’m not an automaton for her to wind. Her stress radiates, as I play Animal Crossing on the couch.

I reach up towards her forehead, “Is there an off button?” I ask.
“Go away,” she chuckles, blocking my hand.
Before I turn away, I add, “You’re the most fun when you’re not giving advice or saying the wrong things..”
“Or breathing incorrectly?” She finished my sentence.
“Exactly,” I laughed, “then you’re practically perfect.”

The boys - Peter (my BF) and Step (my stepfather) - sit or stand, uninvolved, outside the action, like we’re in some other dimension - they try and look at anything but us when we’re wrangling.

Poetry time!

The phantoms of my discontent
are held at bay, by leisure,
are mollified by pleasure.

Am I crazy to set boundaries?
Am I lazy, cause I won’t let her chivvy me?
I’ve got my own voice; I’ll make my own choices.
We have the same goals - but I’m in control.

For every plan I’ve got, she has a hundred caveats.
Sure, I’ve done nothing, while she’s done it all.
I’m her little rocket that she doesn’t want to stall.
But she needs to understand, I’ve left the launching pad.
