Short Bump In The Road Poems

I’m thankful. 
For this brutally honest
raw
painful
buMp in the road.
I am happier than I’ve ever been.
Freed from your poisonous nature. 
Feeling joy again. New.
Fresh, like a start.
Healing, for the heart....

Worry not, it's a minor bump in the road
Happens rarely, must stay near the commode
Won't bore you details
Just a bit off the rails
Be back just as soon I feel better and reload

Is it an empty hole leading to no where?
Just remember your loved by everyone
So just because one thing mite happen wrong 
Doesn't mean your life is wrong 
Your life is just hitting a bump in the road 
your life is just beginning 
Go out and live it!...

A love warm and willowy
My song is my soliloquy
Will we ever get past this bump in the road
Soft, we sail across the sea
Of puny pale apologies
Flawlessly coming to terms of what we know
And what we know is
Flame licking burning, hearts of fire
Spells desire, but baby what are we longing for?
You love me, then you hate me, try to save me
But leave me hanging on the edge of
Someday Ill be strong enough to go...

The goose came to a hidden bump on the road

And wondered whether to fly or walk for a bit

But on reflection in a nearby puddle she feared

That piloerection was more than a natural reflex


Turned her back to the kind obstacle and honked

Gathered her fledglings and carefully retreated 

It is Christmas soon and they might mistake me

For a turkey and the path leads to the slaughter

To you I'm a number 
A census head count 
A baseline, statistic 
Not special 
Tantamount 
A blip on a radar
A bump in the road
I'm just human traffic
A bipedal drone
I'm only a age range
A line on a graph
A check with a Bic pen
A dot on a map
I want you see me
Know who I am
That I breathe, 
That I'm tangible
Just touch me again
Show me you want me
Tell me I count
Not one of the masses
Not common
Tantamount...
