Short Recriminations Poems

Reality beating you down
SL allowing you to act like a clown
No recriminations
Just use your imagination

Possibilities are boundless

Act out your fantasies
There is no place for normalcy in this realm of roleplay and dreams...

Shame,
a shroud,
has fabric
woven from the
dark, anguished threads of
self-recriminations
and of inadequacies.
Caught in its twist, the frail weave on,
constraining themselves in self-loathing.
Unravel fibers of despair. . . Unveil!

How is the ex treating you?
Somedays, it's a bit like a zoo,
Recriminations and regrets,
People you'd rather forget,
Amicable divorce not self-evident,
Happy-ever-after not manifest,
Added to your survivor baggage,
All part of your mental baggage!
Somedays, it's a bit like a zoo,
How is the ex treating you?...

I'm wet. In the sun’s heat, rain & urine stunk. 
Suit, socks & tie ruined, so was I. 

The game ended in the early hours.
 That time, had had its thrills but now,
 
Pockets empty, my mind now active,
 Recriminations re- surfaced. 

Who was ‘’Beating me up’’?
 Who could I blame? 
 What would ‘’They’’ say?
 What could I say?...

A being, whole and complete.

Not on this earth to be your treat.

Not for one second, to fulfill. your
perfect expectations.

Never browbeaten to meet societal
recriminations.

These clouds, ominous and forever
flying!

Blustery winds, without kindness.

A hurricane demanding that you be other
than you.

Until the very second of your dying!

Extra , Extra

Read all about it

I took out Add Space

To Crow Lyrical

Boom back from Self-Imposed sabbatical

So welcome to my Title Shot

At the Big Show 

Or heaven forbid

Critically maligned follow up failure

That ends in recriminations and tears

And once upon a time former champions of my cause

No longer taking or receiving my calls

Success takes Ages

Failure is Instant

Yesterday's Newsprint...

Diet always on my mind…
When in bed, in bathroom, 
When taking showers
When in the gym, in sauna, swimming pool;

When looking in a mirror
Taking pictures with my cell…
Comparing myself to other women…
And so on and so forth…

Then good intentions leave me
When I enter my walk-in frig…
I give myself a brake…
Another solemn promise:

‘I ATE, I EAT
And do so in a future!!!
No Regrets and Self-Recriminations!!!
Hell with Diet!!!’...

Where peace and kindness do a waltz.
And your friends as towering pines grow.
Accepting you, respecting you, as you are.
Velvety true, not for a second, false!
Oh, no, my girl as God lives in you.
Friends lift you above false allegations.
These rare angels, having not any love
limitations.
Blessed be their soft souls.
Absent any recriminations.
Just joy and love’s gentle laughter.
Not a whisper of recrimination.

How can a wound ever heal
When it remains exposed?
Unwashed
Unbandaged
Open to the elements.

How can a heart ever heal
When the memory is raw?
Unaddressed
Unredressed
Open to hurtful recriminations.

How can I ever be whole
When you invade my thoughts?
Your voice
Your eyes
Open the wounds wider.

Why won’t understand
That your love could…
Bathe me
Cleanse me
Anoint me
Bind me
Save me

My love, my life,
I desire
I crave
I want
I NEED
Your healing touch....

How can I ever be whole
When you invade my life?
Your voice
Your eyes
Open the wounds wider.

Why can’t you see
The simple truth?
Your love can…
Bathe me
Cleanse me
Anoint me
Bind me
Save me

My love, my life,
I desire
I crave
I want
I NEED
Your healing!
