PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

If you'd look
you know
you could meet
the younger me
just traipse through
all my journals
starting with number 1
and the me all my life
I've been
you'd all too readily see
In my lines
I'm rarely hidden
I scream off the page
many times
in joy, rage, sheer exasperation
or wit
humor, disappointment
and confusion they too come
to sit awhile upon the page
and visit
I write about everything
imaginable and unimaginable
for any given reason
cause that's all I've ever done
I don't know how to
just stop breathing
so in that same vein
I suppose I'll never stop
writing
which means this gift/curse
in affect has won
but you know that
you know
my tattered heart and all
its less than stellar beats
you love the author who
pens the poems
as well as this simple woman
who sits so adoringly
at your own heart's feet..............
