Rise in love

From a late night social to a rocking lacquered chair

Had a bath; combed my hair

Gripped my pen, fingers tight

And started writing in this motionless, pale night



Eyes burning at 1:00am which reminds me......

my skirt!

i need to hem



Overwhelmed with emotions

Die hard emotions...

Buried and resurrected

Banished and embraced



Another hour, torn away

Pure thoughts of a better day!



'why now?' i asked myself

'why now?'..... when, i know, i placed you upon a shelf

Shrugged feelings of past, splattered on the walls

lingered and lingered

too thick 'n' hard to remove and too bright to ignore!!

too soon to inhale its pungent scent!

Haunting memories of what's yet to come

how dumb? ; a shot of Eldorado rum?

thoughts frozen and...... feet numb



A silly story misconstrued

Seeking anecdote to change the mood!

' i loved..........
i loved you ....so much

Plain english .......no french nor dutch!



A scribbled symphony;short but new

Given 'space'

And i waited, silently, in moping disgrace

Harsh reality, hitting core

i wished you hadn't tell me more


But tell me.....'Were we so meaningless?'
that you couldn't explain, could not confess?

I wrote to you;prompt and true
Blind and deaf to this so-called 'boo'

Don't worry tho'
amidst the ruins of this' lovers' den
a strong heart, 'he' had bestowed

For i will rise
Rise in love again!
