Life is odd & wonderful

[gailyspoems]

When YOU become a WE, don't forget to be a ME

[gailyspoems]

In order for 'things' to change ... 'things' have to change

[gailyspoems]

'I'd rather be a ghost of your past, than strangers that never met'

[gailyspoems]

Logic will say 'no'

Don't fall in love again ..

But the heart shouts out louder

Despite the fear of pain

[gailyspoems]

Escape, escape

Escape from the past

Keep running away ...

But it catches me fast

Stuck in a head lock

That thrives on repeat

Grappling at the locks

With muscles turned weak

I'd like to start a fresh day

A field of calm in the sun

But every time I stand still

My mind decides to run

Supernova

Is the word that comes to mind, when I think of us and how we were ...

Right from the start

Intense, bright, all consuming

It was immediate; the desire to love each other and be with each other

Like a Supernova ...

It felt like our love burned bright enough to outshine the galaxies...

Utterly beautiful whilst it lasted ..

But ultimately not meant to burn forever

[gailyspoems]

We ...

The Brave

Who love as deep as the oceans and as wide as the Earth

We ...

Who have felt the bursting joy of love ..

And piercing agony of loss

We ..

The Brave

The ones who stand up to welcome it all again

[gailyspoems]

So soon, so soon ..

My heart has expanded to the moon ..

It aches for closeness when you're gone ..

Melts like honey when

we move as one

Leaps in my chest when I see your face

Peace and calm within your embrace

[gailyspoems]

I'm scared my madness will leak out from the sides ... escape the parameters of my neatly drawn life

[gailyspoems]

Don't let your past haunt you into becoming a ghost of your present day

[gailyspoems]

Behind the mirror ..

An old card from you was caught ..

It said: 'I love you more every day' ..

Your handwriting brought back so many memories

The feeling of love and being 'cushioned' in a relationship

I believed all you said at that time

In the end I didn't trust a word

[gailyspoems]

17 months single

The longest time in my life ....

Nobody's 'significant other' and nobody's wife. It's empowering and exciting!

To feel free to do what I choose ..

But society points it's finger: "you know you're about to lose"

That's not acceptable!

You cannot enjoy sex!

Don't act a certain way; you look slutty in that dress

Can't be too smart

We're not interested in your brain ...

Keep quiet and behave ..

You'll be acceptable again

[gailyspoems]

I wanted you to be what you never could

Expectations and hopes that I guess I always knew deep down ..

That you wouldn't or couldn't fulfil

It was easier to ostrich myself than realise the truth

How often we do this in life and love alike

[gailyspoems]

A seed was planted

In my mind .. Long ago

Didn't know it was a weed

Wasn't thinking ..

Let it grow ...

But it spread rather quick

Camouflaged within my head...

So I'm poisoning it's roots

To grow flowers there instead

[gailyspoems]

Sometimes the simplest pleasures in life can be overlooked: the sound of the kettle boiling for your morning coffee, hearing the rain on your roof when you're warm and dry inside. Always the sound of your loved ones voices when they pick up the phone. Simple things in life; beautiful treasures

[gailyspoems]

I'm not closing my heart, even when bruised .. like a peach ..

I'll love it back to health ..

Not keep it away from everyone's reach
