Grateful

Started this post a few days ago then got busy. The song was what prompted the post. Today woke up angry. Just not a happy camper. I can feel anger emanating. So Unlike me. This little face warmed my heart Is that a smile? Spent a little time with her, then off to work. Still angry. Now let me just say I try to keep the negative thoughts to myself. Lots of self talk… came here to vent.…

Currently

A vacant heart, a silent mind, No tears to fall, no pain to find. A canvas bare, no colors bright, Just quiet strength, a healing light.  The echoes fade, the storm now gone, A hollow space where grief once shone. No joy, no sorrow, just a pause, A steady breath, a healing cause.  Like shattered glass, the pieces mend, A new beginning, a journey to ascend. No pulse of emotion, yet a steady…

A Symptom

A symptom of being human. I can’t help but think of you when I hear this song. Not that you even remember when my birthday is or that November rain is a favorite song. Maybe it’s just the group and how obsessed you were with them. So I guess memories, feelings and songs can be symptoms of being human. No matter the song is amazing where you lack lol. We’re all just passing throughPassengers…

What the Universe!?

In your face Go bug somebody else, so I can sleep at nightCry, cryGo ahead and ruin someone else’s life Those ending lyrics there, well, they caught my ear.

The twists

The twists and turns of life. How is it that when something devastating happens you think this is it. Yet, you go on. Like, you just fake it, til you make it. It’s gotten hairy in the last couple, three years but I’m still standing. The people you need to have around for comfort ? Well, let’s say who? The last couple days, I hear from someone who was checking out the greener grass.. I, like a…

Love on the Rocks

This movie! The songs… Ok so I really never appreciated Neil Diamonds talents. That is until I saw The Jazz singer. Which I happen to be watching again as we speak. At first they say they want you, hear how they really need youSuddenly you find you’re out there walking in a storm.. Some really amazing lyrics (these stick out right about now), and his voice, well it’s pretty good too… So if…

What if?

What if I’m just sitting here Minding my own business Watching an old movie. The Universe sends me a notice through Apple Music. Hey! Listen to this song… What if I don’t deserve it?What if I never find real love?What if I’m always searchingBut the problem was me all along? These lyrics cannot resonate with a Scorpio… But boy, for just a couple of minutes I felt all those feelings. I am…

Pick up the phone

So I heard this song a little while ago. It brought up feelings… like I actually have those.. I must. Who do I have like this… no, I mean really? Lots will say oh you can count on me, I’ll be there whenever. In actuality? Nadie, nobody. Is that the empty feeling in the pit of my soul? ok, I’m sure you saying, are you there for others? I’d like to think I am. I will fill it with… This…

Jealous

So very jealous of the sun That warms your brown skin The wind that lightly caresses you The time I spend away from you The song is beautiful, almost fitting Until we meet again Raq

Love and Hate it

I Love it and hate it at the same time. Where to start. So many things have happened and all have led to this moment. Is it clarity? I hope it continues. No sadness. Some indifference and even happiness. Yup happiness. Been awhile. You know the fake it til you make it time is passing. I hope. I’ve been infatuated with the wrong one for years. Good thing he didn’t feel the same. I’m so happy to…

More Than

More than This body, this face As I sit here looking at my last surviving child that is intubated with tubes running in and out of her body. It hits so hard how we are so much more than this body that houses our being. She is sunshine, happiness, kindness and love.. When she was a child I remember being at a hospital visiting someone and it was her birthday. My daughters birthday. She was…

What’s Age got to do with it?

At what age is age important? I say you’re too young, with a reply of … that doesn’t matter. Yeah, I’m thinking it does. I see older men younger women all the time. Sure that he must have money stigma is there but they could actually be in love right? Now the other way.. why is that different? However, why are there so many men, young men out there asking older women out? What’s happened? Did…
