For certain

If I could change my life,
what would I do?
Would a simple hug
change my point of view?

I wonder how far I’d go
for the things I desire,
or would those longings
somehow expire.

I don’t always know
what my capabilities are,
haven’t gotten to the point
of reaching that far.

But there’s one thing I know
I could never do
and that would be
to give up you.

Presumptuous

August 30, 2024 ~ ~M ~ 10 Comments

Some will march in spewing insincerity
Still others will tiptoe in without pretense
Both are after the same things
Both are cruel and unkind
Manipulation comes in many forms
I am sure I have not seen all the ways
But I am sure of it when I see it
This will not be my future
I have never been blind to the truth

To be loved so hard

August 14, 2024 ~ ~M ~ 16 Comments

To be loved so hard…
Is there anything better?

That raw connection, primal and lusty
in an earth-shattering kind of way

A feeling that leaves you breathless
wanting more and more
until your body is completely tangled up
in sheets saturated
with the drenching of divine energy

Where the cares of the world lose their luster
and all that remains is the very reason for living

Oh, to be lost in that blissfully euphoric world
the one you’ve both created
from the deepest depths of your souls

There is no greater gift
than to be wrapped in the arms
of someone who never holds back
who gives everything
the one who understands you
like no one else ever has
to grow every day
deeper and deeper in love
with years spent discovering
the best parts of yourself
but also entwined with the heart and soul
of someone special

That someone being the best thing
that’s ever happened to you

The only reason you wish you could live forever
because without them
eternity doesn’t matter
and life here on earth may as well not even exist

A whish of wisdom

July 11, 2024 ~ ~M ~ 12 Comments

You never know what’s coming
You never know what’s near
The world can be so sneaky
Far from kind and sincere

So guard your heart with an anvil
Your mind with a song
Praying that all the good things
Will carry you along

Don’t be fooled by the glitz
Don’t let glam be your guide
Follow the way of heartstrings
Let those transform your mind

Give away what you don’t need
Perhaps even the stuff you do
And never settle for less
Than what you know is true

*It’s been said that if you’re having trouble calming your mind, humming can help because you can’t hum and think simultaneously. Anyway, that’s where the idea for this poem came from. Like so many others, I’m an overthinker, and this humming method really helps me. And now that I’m thinking about it, I bet whistling while you work might help, too. If you give it a try, let me know if it helps.

Much love to all of you, ~M xo
