“Back Burner

Put the stress on the back burner
It only burns its way back
Put your thoughts on the future
and it becomes the past..."

The Poetic Diary of Love and Change - Volume 1

“The Scary Place   When you see inside my mind With all the words I leave behind Can you feel the ‘me’ in ‘we’? Can I touch your deepest plea? I know what thoughts lurk in your soul wary and afraid of letting go No words are needed I feel you have conceded Allowing the scary place to come and stay awhile to settle into your space and comfortable lifestyle It is better than you had ever imagined filled with so much love and passion Going outside your comfort zone Finding that love exists in the unknown”

“Unwind Time   Inside my mind I unwind time to bring you back and erase the lack   Logic and doubt crept into your thoughts You drifted away and disrupted our plot   I fought to keep you wrote poetry to your heart Words for you to see through so we would no longer be apart   Leave your mind behind and far away Let your joy guide you transport you back to stay   When you will feel the loss revealed You will call my name Your heart will unseal   A second first date to consummate Our love refreshed and newly meshed   My arms are open My heart hopeful and true I welcome you back to begin anew”

“Into Our Future   Our eyes light up Our hearts are on fire Newly freed and full of desire Your voice pulls me in from my here to your now I’m ready to explore all doors leading to allow To find my way in feeling the room spin I tripped and fell under your spell You picked me up Our possibilities propelled Into our future flushed, hushed and blushed I felt my heart captured With a look and a touch  ”

“Knot Right   Tripping on thoughts caught in your web Stuck amidst knots I create in my head Keep me tangled, captured, and dangled When logic should prevail it serves only to derail Instead I’m fed a pack of lies Hiding behind fake eyes to disguise Your heart betrays the words you say Questioning why we bother to stay I discover the rope is not so tight What held us together is no longer right   The love for myself helps me to propel Back out on my own thrown alone into the unknown I will find my new way Watching what we once had fade slowly away”
