Hot Cocoa By the Fire

Red and white stockings 
Hang loose by the warm fire 
Hot cocoa in hand

Halloween

Holidays can be fun to celebrate, especially 
All Hallows Eve, which is Halloween Night
Lots of trick or treating, and candy
Looking around for people dressed in a variety of costumes
Outside the cool air cause goosebumps as if ghosts are lurking
When the people are encased in their homes
Everything becomes still and quiet
Evil spirits hoping to get a chance to walk among the living
No hope of being left alone

A Chemical Imbalance

I wait,
And wait,
And wait,
And wait,
But nothing.
No call,
No text,
Just silence.
“What’s the point?”
I question. 
Every month
It’s the same
A reoccurring 
Self-sabotage 
Thought’s race
He doesn’t love you
He doesn’t care
He’s living his life
Out on the town
Forgetting about me
The one who
Takes care of the home,
His children,
And any other issue.
I’m old news
If the relationship were new
More attention would be bestowed
Why do I allow this to occur?
Hands clench scalp
Gripping with eyes shut
It’s all false
He truly cares, but
My thinking is skewed by
A chemical imbalance 
Make this negative 
Logic go away!

Wasted Away

Days turned into years
Gone are the buds once vibrant
Life can’t be reversed

Klutz

We once visited Belize
It had the bluest seas
	I tripped in the water
	And bumped my daughter
Landing on my knees

Heart's Yearning

Reborn here now without baggage 
To a place as far as Norway
I spread my wings and fly away
Inhaling a sense of dismay

As I break through the clouds freeway
Reborn here now without baggage 
Content and smooth flight, no damage
Landing near a cliff by Red Bay

My heart yearns for a pleasing day
Every day was challenging 
Reborn here now without baggage 
My sanity I will salvage 

A journey worth the whole package
No turning back, I choose to stay 
The benefit is far outweighed
Reborn here now without baggage

Dirty Reflection

I laugh because 
Every hateful 
Word spewed 
From your 
Dirty mouth 
Is a reflection 
Of yourself!

Unwanted Passenger

Stomping 
   Stomping 
       Stomping 
Stop,
Please 
No control, 
Vehicle lurches 
But I’m just a
Passenger on this
Road of life

This Year

EVERY YEAR 

This year 
I haven’t asked for much 
Just silence,
A few days to myself 
To comprehend the future ahead
To focus on the inevitable 
Starting all over again 
No freedom
Until my late 50s
Acceptance is a hard pill 
To swallow 

This year 
I haven’t asked for much 
Just no more fussing
A need for good kids
At least once 
Out of the many 
Days, months, years
You’re in my care 
Please, skip a day
And drop the bad act 

This year 
I haven’t asked for much 
Just attention 
From the one person 
In the entire world 
I’m begging and pleading 
To literally look at me
Not as a mother to his kids, 
But as a wanton woman 
Someone he truly loves 

This year 
I haven’t asked for much 
Just a sip of wine, and 
An interesting book by 
The fireplace 
A moment to escape into 
Fiction as I relax 
A moment to be 
Stress-free

I say this year but what I mean is
Could this be a wish for 
Every. Single. Year?

Why I Write

To soothe the soul
To vent
A release
An escape
To share my words
To create stories
Learning myself
And the characters I build
I write because
Its who I am
A writer
A worldbuilder
A character creator
An author
