THE CLOSED DOOR

I just can't believe the door is shut

And walking away seems painful
I’m stuck before it
Holding the handle
Looking into the key hole is all I do
All I see are illusion
Figments of the mind, memories
I sense hysteria keeping a close eye on me
As many doors open around I just stare at this one
The stark truth remains; they aren’t right for me
Or so I say
What is it about this door?
It won’t open, even with the same key
Force won’t work and grease isn’t any better
Sigh...
Open up door
I need to pick up the debris
I need to blow one last good night kiss

IT IS

Love is sweet
When it is sweet
It makes you want to laugh and scream
Giving you so much peace and joy

Love hurts
When it hurts
It makes you cry
Cry till your pillow says I can't soak any tears no more

Love is bitter
When it is bitter
It makes you hate
Giving you so much pain and agony in your heart and mind

Love stinks
When it stinks
It pungent smell
It makes you wanna throw up and say pew

Love is so complicated
When it gets you so confused
it makes you feel one way at one time and another at another time
Makes you such a fool and you mess up

Love is
When it is
It is
And it will always be

INVASION

The calm of the ocean is always disturbed by the tumbling waves

The dawn sleep broken by the cock’s crow

The insignificant seem to break the pattern

Simple words seem to make the heart do a flip and a swoop

And slowly the words are invading thoughts

Little gestures make you feel like a royalty

And slowly the smile weaves it way into the heart

How these simple things obstruct a contented life

Like rain drops unsettling stagnant water

It’s hard to explain

How they cause the human race to act wild, calm or extreme

It can’t be fathomed

Just a simple smile can melt the ice formed over a decade

A stare kindles a flame

These and many more like a slow fade change lives
Incomprehensible but definitely irrefutable

Christen it love or name it adoration

A synonym of admiration

A result of hatred and a recipe for fear

---------------Giggling ----------

Call it what ever

But I call it an INVASION

An unwelcomed but undeniable one

Not by a multitude of soldiers but by….

GRACE

Grace; that is what has brought me this far

And I know Grace will lead me on

The road hasn’t been easy and smooth

It was full of turns, twists, rocks, bumps,

and even accidents

Not just accidents but fatal ones

But still Grace got me through

Grace healed the pain

And dressed the wounds

Grace made me love myself

Despite the horrible scars

Grace made me look back at the road

And say; indeed I have been somewhere

And I will make it

This is where I have been

I am not ashamed of the road I took

However bad it was

Because grace thought me to see

That there is a blessing in the storm

A rainbow after the rain

When I think about the loses

I say to myself;

I lost that I might gain

Grace; that has brought me this far.
