New Year’s Past

Image: We Heart It

New Year’s Eve … 1995

Bitter Cold…

Bundled up to the eyes

Standing at the top of the Incline

Below us …

Three Rivers joined

Lights twinkling

through my eyes

Decorated with

Frozen mist

 

Things were

good then

An extra post to wish everyone a Blessed and Peaceful New Year.

 

New Year, New Life

Image: We Heart It

The last night

of the year

They wondered

what the new

one would

Bring

 

New lives…

New jobs…

New loves…

New adventures…

 

So many questions…

No answers

 

Only time will tell

Left to the Fates

Stars and Moon

to Decide

 

With one last kiss

A sip of champagne

The old year is 

Gone

And…

The new one

Begins…

I hope this New Year’s Eve, 2013 finds you blessed and happy, looking forward to 2014, with wild anticipation!

Footprints in the Snow

Watching as he

Walked away

She reaches up to

wave goodbye

A goodbye he

will never see

 

She feels the

freezing rain

suddenly turn

to snow

 

And…

 

An icy blast

grips her

Soul

Forgotten

No one was

to know

She felt like

Cinderella

hidden in

this corner

Tucked away…

Forgotten…

Out of sight

Out of mind

 

Forgotten!

Wisdom

Image: We Heart It

The best advice

I ever received

came from the

mentor of a

dear friend

 

She was wise

and courageous

A woman

before her time

 

During our teens

she advised us…

Enjoy the boys…

Experience all

the men you can…

 

But…

 

Don’t ever ever

fall in love

she told us

 

Love is a trap…

You only get hurt…

Be the best

woman you can

be for the man

of the hour

 

But…

 

Don’t give him

your heart…

your soul…

your life…

 

And…

 

Don’t ever ever

fall in love

she said

every time

she saw us

If Only …

Image: We Heart It

I sit here wondering 

about everything that

went wrong for us

 

Should I have been

more…

Could I have done

more…

Would you have

loved me

more…

 

If…

I had been what

you thought I

should be

 

But…

Never could be

 

I am

Sorry…

Sorry for both

of us

 

And…

what could have

should have

would have

Been…

 

If only…

Sacred

Image: We Heart It

There are many people

in my life

 

Family first …

Always

 

A multitude of friends…

people in my life

I can always…

And…

Do…

Count on when needed

 

But…

There are those 

And…

They are few

Who are dear to me

Those I love

So Unconditionally…

That…

No other word

can be given them

Except…

 

Sacred

For JR and SC – always

Letting Go

Image: We Heart It

There comes a time

when it just has to

all stop

 

I never really fit in…

Always on the fringes…

Outside looking in…

 

But…

 

You made me believe

I was different…

Maybe even a little

bit Special…

 

Until…

 

One day it began

The ignoring…

The not having time…

The being unavailable…

The don’t call me…

I will call you

when I can…

 

I am not a

afterthought…

I am not someone to

be thrown away

like last night’s

left overs

 

I am here…

I exist…

I feel…

I want…

I need…

 

And …

 

Now —

 

I hurt…

Charade

Image: We Heart It

You hide behind

yet another

facade

 

Why can’t you

be who you are

rather than trying

to be someone you

will never be

 

Try as you might…

little things give

you away

A slip up here…

A nuance there…

The mention of a

favorite singer

and song

 

These little things

all give you away

to those who are

aware…

know…

 

You really do not…

cannot…

fool who are aware

of the tricks of

your trade

Say Something

Heidi is an amazing writer and her Obsession Series is a MUST READ, however, her poetry is just as amazing. Here is a post from her blog that was entered yesterday.

To See What I See

I watched as you stumble

Caught you when you fell

But you pushed me away.

You played at being strong,

Your eyes show your pain.

I tried

Time and time again

Until there was nothing left

And I still stayed.

Slowly sinking into your trap

Losing what was once me

So you can survive one more day.

As I turn away I wait

For something

Anything.

Please

Say something and I will stay

For even after all the darkness

We have been through

I still love you

Even as I say goodbye…..
