Cindy Marie: a little poetry at dusk...

Tossed

No Word describes it better

Meaningless

Worth equal to the weight of a feather

Used

A string played by bow to the extreme or-

Abused

A delicate blouse ripped and wounded at every seam

Oh the pain,

the ache

the seeping

That my throbbing heart is keeping

Locked within

and tucked away

Until the darkening of day

When the shades do greet

The somber moon

Then

My howls rise from their tomb

It's incomplete. Something is missing at the end of my poem but I don't know what... Maybe I should leave it like that. I'm not really hurting. I'm actually quite fine with life at the moment. But I feel the pain that hides in strangers' eyes and I dedicate this poem to them.

I met this poor, perplexing soul the other day. She doesn't know what to do. She gave a very special and sacred part of herself to someone who could never love her and she did so willingly. All I could do was stare at her and look into her eyes as she said that she knowingly did so. Why? Why would you do that? "I have my reasons". Oh the pain, the ache, the seeping that lined her slight smile. The funny thing is she seemed calm. Maybe she was putting on a strong face for me. I wish her well. I hope she will find the redemption and wholeness she seeks.

Well, on a different level of special and sacred, my cousin Timmy got married a bit ago! I was very happy for him!!! He is happy, and both he and his bride were glowing. I can't wait to have that glow... I'm sure it must be incredible to know you have your love forever... Now it's just a matter of finding him... and being ready, pure, and valiant for him... I predict I will meet him somewhere random. And he'll surprise me. And I don't think I'll like him much at first but then he'll say something impressively clever and I'll be hooked. Hooked but not caught. I'll still be suspicious of his intentions... and incredulous that such a man would want me... but his smile will brush away any such thoughts... Of course, that's only one possible scenario... here's to love- the kind that keeps me aching and waiting..
