2010 comes to an end

 It's been a good year. I've experienced new things, seen a lot and accomplished pretty much. The highlights: I started my first blog, I went to two different islands, had our 1st year wedding anniversary, my middle child started Kindergarten, sold some crafts, had a wonderful 1st Christmas in our year old home, and tons of stuff in between all that. As the year comes to an end, I look forward to the new year and more good things to come. I hope to be a positive and shining light that others will be inspired to be positive and happy as well. I can't stand when people are "downers" and never have anything good to say. Appreciate what you have and if you don't like it, change it. Hopefully I will have lighter, more cheerful poems, but I think I'm more expressive in those sad and angry moods. Not very positive, but I'll try.    :)

 I think I will try to incorporate other peoples poetry in my blog as well. Of course the author will get all credit, I'm not trying to steal the light. I'm just not always inspired to write poetry as much as I used to be. I guess my new creative outlet (crocheting and jewelry) has taken over.

He Doesn't Love You

he doesn't love you.

i wish you could see 

the mess you're creating

the people you're hurting

the friendships are fading

the daughter you're raising

you're making her crazy

it's a matter of time

when it all catches up

your life is in shambles

it was all for what?

some loser 

who came from the gutter

he slipped you a mickey

now molds you like butter

turned your world upside down

now you closed your shutters

he taught you to lie

he taught you to stutter

why can't you see 

that this shit isn't right

open your eyes

why won't you fight

take your life back

come back to the light

your children are crying

you can't hear their plight

you're too busy trying 

to be his delight

he doesn't love you.

Racist - A Limerick

It's the year two thousand ten

you're still looking at my skin

your mind is disturbed

wish you were unheard

when will this madness just end?

uninspired

an uninspired rhyme
in a ho hum kind of mood
just tryin to fill some lines
with a careless attitude

This World

in this world full of hate

there is one who always thinks they're so great

there are lies that are told

by someone who is so bold

to twist words

and conquer verbs

who must always be heard

it's no wonder this world is so perturbed

we believe things that are absurd

when will we be set straight?

probably when it's too late

we are headed for this fate

too much of nothing on our plate

no one will stand up

for fear of something to errupt

everyone sings the same song

to be right is to be wrong

this can't keep going on

tell me how long

will this war ever end?

will our world ever mend?

can our minds ever bend

back to truth, guess it depends

can't we all just be friends?

QUIT

you're choking me

you're bad for my health

but when you're around

i want nothing else

i wanna taste you on my lips

and breath you all in

fill my body with your toxins

that make my head spin

i reek of your stench

but sometimes i don't care

i got your funk on my hands 

on my clothes, in my hair

i'm an addict for you

but it's time for me to quit

i need to get right

in my life, you no longer fit

you're not gonna run me

you're not gonna win

but the desire keeps calling

calling me to sin

the clouds, they are blinding

it's hard to see through the smoke

but you're messing with my heart,

my lungs, this is no joke

i won't smell like an ashtray

my mouth won't taste like shit

cuz i'm done smoking cigarrettes

this time i really quit.

I didn't quit right away, but I did quit and am now smoke-free!

Isabel

her name is like a spell

no, like a song, my Isabel

her smile is contagious

her laugh is infectious

her soul is pure and innocent

her beauty is simply heaven sent

she's overflowing with love

my angel from above

she loves to hug and kiss

this feeds into her bliss

it's a shame that she'll have to grow

and one day she will have to go

out to this world of lies and hate

i can't protect, or hold her from fate

i can only teach her all i can 

to be the best, for the good of man

when the time comes, i'll let her leave

because i know she'll have dreams to achieve

but for now, she's still my baby

i'll mold her until she becomes a lady.

daPerfectMix

a little bit of this

and a little of that

a laid back personality

that's a matter of fact

cocoa buttery skin

and some chocolate slanted eyes

workout to stay slim

and i try to be wise

patient and kind

are some traits that i pursue

i strive to be best

in all that i do

don't take it as a weakness

i'm a number one pick

unlike your average everyday chicks

i'm the Perfect Mix.
