Even if I fail to say, "I love you"
and even if I don't agree with everything you say or do
just know I still got love for you.
Don't need to live with you, call you everyday, or expect you to do something for me.
Still got love anyway.
A past created the foundation for emotions I have today.
A past awoke something in me that lives in me.
An unexplainable compassion, appreciation, and thoughtfulness.
Rarely do I see such emotions returned.
A half-hearted smile, a short response, and a "I got to go."
Oh yes! Still got love for those who don't love me,
no time to get to know me,
not really interested in my offspring and the joy that they can bring.
"Give me" is in season.
Let the phone ring, the well-wishes, and the niceties begin.
But once good times pass,
it's back to not knowing me.
Is there a mirror that shows the ugly that men do and women talk about?
Would they be able to see themselves?
For I knew someone once who hugged hateful hearts.
Showed love to people who didn't deserve her.
She found a resting place, sooner rather than later.
Love for those who don't love me such a noble feat.
Give praise to a God who loves us unconditionally.
Remember what once was and learn from it.
So I smile, go along with the program,
while deep inside I know,
they love me not.

In The Middle of the Road
Feel good?Lie.
Straighten up a tie.
Pretend that I didn't ask, "Why?"
Often keeping things to yourself.
Busy like an elf.
Thought I had something good when I looked at you.
But took in your perspective, your view.
You didn't like me much.
But you used me as a crutch!
Hobbled along in this relationship.
Ignored my each and every tip.
See I know what this is really about.
You claim I like to make trouble and shout.
But you run, don't like no one messing with your fun.
What are we going to do?
Our years remaining are few.
Got bigger fish to fry!
Got to get pass yesteryears's lie.
You see the more I do, I do, I do...
it seems the more you don't want to change your view, your view, your view.
So sick and tired of you!
Found a way to make peace before I cracked,
got over the things that I had lacked.
There is a new friend in my town.
Don't need him to act like a clown.
Found a friend in what some call Jesus--
hope he can mediate between us.

Poetry in Motion Films: spiritual cinema
Sometimes I think about different ways to share poetry. I came across the following site.
Poetry in Motion Films: spiritual cinema
I couldn't help but think about so many movies that already exist that are like Christian tracts, they are designed to spread a message. However, unlike spiritual messages to encourage, rebuke, etc. so often movies are nothing more than propaganda tools, mind-programming creations, and unfortunately negative energy contributors to mankind. How we have fallen so far and stooped so low when it comes to simply making free time to just be! Far too many, use what little free time they do have to busy themselves some more with someone else's lifestyle, issue, morbid thinking, and other useless things--for what?
Just thinking...
Have a good day!

WEDDING POEMS
In need of a wedding poem? Not that long ago, a relative was planning a wedding and needed a poem for her program. I had quite a few I already wrote and luckily she found one that she liked. So I thought maybe there is someone seeking a good poem for their perfect day too. I recently came across this site:

Relationship Advice & Experiences
Besides writing poetry, I share my relationship tips and experiences on other sites. You might find some of my writings useful. One site you might want to check out if you have your share of relationship challenges is Laboring to Love an Abusive Mate. Although the title is dedicated to those in abusive relationships, there are some articles on the site that will help with some relationship concerns before they turn into abuse. You can also order a copy of my poetry book about my abusive experience on Amazon.com.
Love Me
Allow me to rest easy in your arms,
say soft words and decorate me with charms.
Love me like no other.
Respect me like you do your mother.
Be my best friend,
until the very end.
There aren't many of you left.
You are the best secret kept.
Some tell me I'm lucky to have you.
That's why I do all that I can do.
But sometimes you forget,
just how we first met.
There was no real connection.
Our flesh wasn't yet under subjection.
So we didn't really try.
We just gave it all up for a lie.
Sometimes we have to review the past,
in order to make love last.
Sometimes we have to realize the truth.
Go back to the book of Ruth.
For you were my Boaz,
and I was your Ruth.
It was like a business meeting,
just with limited seating.
Ruth needed security,
Boaz wasn't looking for an enemy.
Both allowed one another in,
both knew the consequences of sin.
He took care of her,
wrapped her up like fur.
Now I want that too.
Want to know that you will be true.
There is a sun in our life.
Takes away all the stress and strife.
Need to know that you are on my team.
Need to know that you are all that you seem.
So make me permanent in your life.
Make this thing exclusive, make me your wife.

Love Muse
Saw you the other day,
my perfect muse.
Never hurt me with unkind words,
touched me,
or lusted for me.
Don't know if you ever thought of me beyond a simple conversation.
So glad to have been in your presence for a time.
You warmed my heart.
Gave me peace of mind, but for a second.
A simple gift of music and I welcomed it.
Listened to your voice and I knew you were special.
My blue sky,
my sun.
Never rainy.
No storm clouds
above my head.
No worries about, "What if..."
No drama about, "Who is that?"
No pain caused from lying.
It was all so very simple back then,
a look, a smile.
It's because of you,
my muse,
a bridge that helps me love again.
