I Was a Wife

I sit here and wonder
when I look back at my life
How is it I ended up alone
and am no longer someone's wife

I was married what seems forever
and now apart almost as long
what could have happened 
and where did we go so wrong?

I look at old pictures
and remember that day
I look at my husband
and know him now in such as different way.

I wonder what, if anything
I could have done more
I can't think of the reason
that caused him to walk out that door.

Sometimes I wonder
if it could ever be
if we were still together
Would I possibly be happy?
 
Why would I think that way
why am I living in the past
I think about things that used to be
but don't realize there was a reason they didn't last.

Premium Member The Gift

I stand next to the stream at dawn, 
draw cool breaths and watch the sunrise. 
I hear the voice of gentle waters; 
remember whispers from your eyes. 

At that moment a buck appears, 
with vapored breath and heaving chest. 
The gray falcon shrieks high above, 
I realize how much I’m blessed. 

I cup of cold water in my hands, 
thankful to God, I kneel and pray. 
My heart has wings like the eagle, 
alive, my love shall soar today. 

Through the trees and up to the peak; 
with hope and vigor I ascend. 
At the crest I howl like the wolf, 
on your dear love I can depend. 

Bare chested I face strong winds; 
close my eyes and taste your sweet kiss. 
Your soft embrace gives my heart wings, 
in my longings its you I miss. 

The sun is high; my skin is warmed; 
I meditate on these sights and sounds. 
One with you, I am so alive, 
enchanted by the gift we’ve found.

Eva, Don't Turn Them On

Some ladies need to be protected,
they are nice to hold, oh, so true;
and that's for sure they can
give you everything, but also
they'll take it back from you! 

Eva is a lovely, sensitive woman
who reaches out and loses all control;
she has won so many foolish hearts...
but finding the right one is her goal.
Eva, don't turn them on,
what man would give in?
Eva, don't turn them on, 
stay besides me
and let's be one!

'Though they pretend
not to pay attention:
you're the one they want,
the one they mention;
so Eva, don't turn
them on stick to one!

Silly conversations,
cigarettes and brandy
are the dangers 
you don't realize, don't act like a baby,
can't stay away from candy:
you're the one they want to be beside!
Eva, don't turn them on,
stay beside me and let's be one!

Lady Music

Standing, thinking without thinking of anything ...
       I hear the music calling me!
       - Come, come live the sound ...
          come, come boy, come dance ...!
        I didn't believe what I heard ... I heard?
        - Come on, boy, come dream while you can ...
         Surely you can still ... come dance!
         You imagine life is agreeable this way ... if
         we realize merry and joyful ...
        - What fear have you ...? choreography?
           every gesture, every wiggle, every way
          It's choreography ... dance!
          Dance with me ... I'm yours ...
          If you love me, I love you too ...
          If you appreciate me, I consider you too ...
          I am from everyone and for all ...
          I'm a lady music ... so come
           dance ... it's not the last tango,
           also not the "Oldies" ... just
           amusing moment ...
           Come on silly ...
           Come delight yourself ...!

Premium Member Legos Nursery Rhyme

Written: October 30, 2023, For Eve Roper Nursery Rhyme
                    _______________________________________

Where joyful colors and lively settings rule.
In which ideas run wild and originality extol
Children congregate, full of glee and cheer.
As Legos arrive, a joyful melody appears.

With little fingers and bright eyes.
The kids start on a quest full of fun surprises.
Build homes, spaceships, and buildings so tall.
Their dreams are to lift wings and hit above all.

Their dreams come to life, piece by piece.
Encasing fresh towers akin to a fleece.
They realize their aspirations using Legos.
As they build a home ideal for Geckos

Colorful and eye-catching plastic blocks,
New and historic kingdoms unlock
Tales for kids in their heads as they grow
As they build upward, they'll fall into a row.

Each brick is a jigsaw piece that fits exactly.
Drawing artwork for my kids distracts me.
The kids giggle and squeal, lost in their play.
Leaving memories that will forever stay.

Billy Bookworm

I am a little Bookworm
I live inside a book
     I wriggle 
           I writhe 
I make humans beings squirm
For when they open up my book
They don’t expect to see a worm

How silly
these homosapiens
     Do they not realize
My name is Billy Bookworm
and in a book I will reside

So next time you begin to read
and open up your book
     Do not scream 
          Do not shout
What is all that noise about
Just gently turn each page to see
     The sweetest bookworm 
          and that is me...

Premium Member Save Our Ship

I am a christian who also loves baseball and apple pie.                                                                                   I have serious doubts about politicians who promise to never lie.

I am neither a male chauvinist pig, nor am I a card carrying antagonist.                                                             I can be pessimistic about some things, but basically, I am a true optimist.

I am certain that my complaints about men far exceed that of women.                                                            I am not weary but simply tired of all the divisiveness being thrown around.

It's not that we Americans only recently discovered our differences, or became   fixated on our complexities; but it seems we are more willing to rant and 

rave about anything or anyone whose persuasion is different from  our own.                      America please! Breathe in, breathe out! Let's first find out what it's all about.                          

Let's pray; take a walk; smell a rose; and take a 7th inning stretch! The earth is still round; blessings yet abound;  and the sun still shines on all of us.

So why can't we love one another? Out of love, God made us all from the dust. The life boats are few; The Titanic is leaking heavily and going down rapidly.

Some may consider it pessimistic to speak of the sinking of a ship.                                                     The wise think otherwise, and realize that only God can save our ship.

Dancing With My Heart Pt 1

That night at the bar you asked me to dance
Singing along we both knew every word
Wondering if there was the slightest chance
That what you said you actually heard
Or if it even dawned on you
How the lyrics to that very song
Fit the two of us so true
Everything I'd been trying to say all along
Was exactly what you were singing to me
As the song went on I found myself lost
Thinking about the us we used to be
Even though I knew the cost
My heart would be forced to pay
And the challenges I might have to face
If in the end things didn't go my way
But in this moment and in this place
None of those things mattered
I just wanted to enjoy what I had at the time
My thoughts running wild and scattered
Could your head or heart be feeling anything like mine?
Maybe I was reading too far into this
But the man I saw in you tonight
Was the man I met and the man I miss
The one that caught my eye at first sight
I saw in you something I couldn’t resist
No matter how hard I tried to fight
I couldn’t escape the urge to be kissed
Even sitting here as I try to write
Over and over I let it all replay
Everything about that night
Has stayed on my mind all day
Wondering what it all meant to you
Or if it’s crossed your mind at all
Wishing I knew your point of view
Waiting and hoping for you to call
Even though I knew better then
Still I guess I hoped it would be different this time
And I let myself get lost in us once again
Pretending in the end everything would be just fine
But I'm only left with more questions than before
Unable to understand
How all these things you find so easy to ignore
All it took was one touch of your hand
And I could no longer think straight
Even as the days have passed me by
I think back to that night we stayed out so late
Can't help but to let out a little sigh
As I realize once again I took the bait
Like a fish drawn to a hook
I find it's myself that I hate
Sometimes I feel like such an open book
Seems like you know just what to do
To get the best of me
When I least expect you to
But of course that's how it would be
And I'd fall right into your trap each and every time
Nothing good ever comes from this
Only leaves me with one more rhyme
As I sit here and reminisce

The Heart Is Shadowed

The heart is shadowed 
The mind is hollow
The road forward is blocked
The road behind angry mobs follow
I run down to the left to the right 
And find the sorrows of the heart 
Overflowing
Where then do I go 
I trust in my loved one to be strong
I trust in my loved one
But all to often am left in tears and a drowning sea
Where am I meant to go
Where do I turn
What do I do.
What can I do to make them realize 
I love them. But I am not able to do much
To pick them up. To make them right
To bring them happiness and life. 
I've paid the price many times over
So why are they forever hurting when I need them most.
Why can't they stop degrading themselves 
When all things leave me in a cloud of pain and sorrows.
Where I once sought light in? 
Do I dare to look to that source still?
I miss the past self that loved and supported and didn't leave me a mess of misery and times left scrambling in a mess
To find the way to improve our lifes.

Premium Member Written in the Stars

We grew up together.  You were three doors down.
Ordinary kids, we were, in an ordinary town.
I recall the two of us, gazing at the skies,
trying to find the truth in its starry guise,
but, we couldn't read the stars, whenever we would look,
any more than we, as preschoolers, could read a book. 
An ordinary girl, you were - I, an ordinary guy - 
just two kids who could never read the sky.
We were separated when we were just sixteen.
Your family moved out of state, no longer to be seen.
I kept trying to learn to read the stars in space, 
though, slowly, I forgot your once familiar face. 
I turned to the learned men from history, 
from Newton to Sagan, but it's still a mystery,
befuddling people since days past and olden. 
A song said, "We are stardust.  We are golden."
I got the news today.  I guess everybody dies.
I recall you, sweet neighbor, and now I realize
the truth was in the twinkle of your starry eyes.
