WHO IS SHE??
Who is she, she looks familiar
She reminds me of my Dad
A spark of something in her eyes
Perhaps like Mom a tad
If I look at her long enough
Sometimes I think I see
A younger softer version of the girl I used to be
Who is she, her skin is aging
She’s harder to maintain
Some days it’s very clear to see
The years of stress and strain
She buys expensive face creams
To recapture “youthful glow”
And recalls when all she had to do
Was wash her face and go!
Who is she, she lathers makeup
More and more each day
Until the lines and wrinkles
And the years all fly away
And often in the morning light
I stare at her and see
Some stranger in my mirror
Just who the hell is she????

JUSTIFICATIONJustification....it’s what we do
it’s how we manage to muddle through We tell ourselves “it’ll be okay” So we can cope from day to day Justification works every time helps the criminal commit the crime helps the shopper buy the shoes helps the spirit beat the blues Justification - an amazing tool allows us to break our every rule so we can talk ourselves into doing whatever we want to do! This dress is expensive but I work hard besides - I can charge it on my card I wouldn’t think twice if it was a gift I deserve it and really need a lift These pants are tightthey must run small they’re made for someone 6 feet tall This shirt is snug - it’s clear to see Not made for someone as busty as me Justification can be a friend and allow the perfect means to an end Justification can help us cope not sit around all day and mope Some of us use it as a fine art form A cozy comfort to keep us warm I would suggest you give it a try Till your as good a justifier as I April 19, 2010 |
THE SOUND OF SNOREThere’s a deafening sound inside the room
Reminds me of a sonic boom It disturbs the quiet of the night and me.......as I lay sleeping tight t burrows deep inside my head as I toss and turn there in my bed It pierces like thunderous roar and I listen to the sound of snore I move and “accidentally” bump The loud and curled up sleeping lump but my clever ploy has no avail As he resumes the piercing wail I worry that I’m wide awake Will I fall back to sleep? How long will it take? I resign myself - it’s clear to see Insomnia has it’s grip on me My mind begins to reminisce on all the years I’ve spent like this Waiting for the light of dawn The background music playing on I realize what is steady and true and there for a lifetime to get me through that buzz saw that I can’t ignore drifts me back off..... to the sound of snore March, 2010 |
