Friday Afternoon Mumbled Words

Are they wasted whispers?
 Careless, perhaps?


Spoken because the resounding echo inside screams
and all once relevant inside has been challenged.
You!
You did this to me!
Do you realize?
OR?!
Do you revel in the fact that you did so?
No matter...
When my heart leapt from my chest
so too did yours.
I heard your words
I felt your skin
I tasted your lips
As days continue on
Each linger
and I long for more
Caution?!
Hell no!
Let's move forward
and figure things out along the way
The intentions were never to cause chaos
but it happened
like waves crashing
I was overcome by you.
Do not deny me another chance...
my body aches and begs.
The world would not have led me to your arms
if I weren't meant to taste you.
Every part of my being swells eagerly
to walk through your eyes once again


    to taste your soul.

****

My longing is near obsessive
though not intended to be.

My heart pounds when memories float through.

What I wouldn't give to be there again.
With you.
    your arms
        your heat
            your touch
        your taste
    your flesh
your being.

Allow me to feel you again.
Allow my body to be graced by your offerings.

8/3/12 - HLM

A little something that popped into my head this afternoon. If I don't write it down I won't remember it. Could be a work in progess or a finished piece... let me know what you think.

Untitled

The wind blows reminding us to let our hair down.
To call out to the free spirit residing inside.
Call to her.
Sing with her
Dance with her.
Let her wrap her arms around you
     and transform you into a single moment of carefree,
         weightless worry.
Smother the inhibition with reckless abandon.
Go forth and enjoy what you conquer.

It's been forever

Life continues to take over and avert my attention and intentions away from my blog.  To those very few of you who do read this, I apologize for not keeping up on weekly rants and random poetry.  

What's new?

I enrolled at Minot State University and am currently taking 7 credits.  I am still working full-time and still housing an extra "guest."  That is, however, a rant for another day.   The excitement for school is awesome and I sure hope to make it through math... you see, algebra and I do not get along.  It will be a struggle, but the only way to get to my degree is to challenge the thing head on.  Wish me luck.

2011 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 2

http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/poetic-asides/poetry-prompts/2011-november-pad-chapbook-challenge-day-2

For today’s prompt, use an epigraph to kickstart your poem. That is, use a quotation. You can use a favorite of your own, or if you’re having trouble thinking of one, I’ve provided a few below. To format an epigraph poem, a poet places the quotation between the title and the body of the poem, while also giving credit to the source of the quotation.

Life Goes On

     "It's Not Fair!"  - J. L. Matison (6 hear old girl)

She has one
  I don't
I want one
  You won't
Why not?
  How come?
I'm broke!

My PAD poem from day 1

I haven't done a good job at posting lately and send out many apologies.  Finally I am getting around to posting my Day 1 poem for the 2011 Nov. PAD challenge!

2011 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 1

So here are today’s prompts:

·                     Write a procrastination poem, or as I like to call it a “I’ll get to it tomorrow” poem. Or…

·                     Write a proactive poem, or the old “I’ll get to it today” poem.

I should have called

What I didn't do today
I cannot do tomorrow
Time will never again allow it
What I would have done
now echoes only as heartache
What I should have done
haunts me
My dreams whisper regret
My thoughts fill me with strange distress
I am on trial
with myself
I said I would call
I never did
now I never can

Does heaven take phone calls?
