24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
Im 54, have 2 grown daughters and 9 grand children. I was widowed in 1981 and am finally happily married for 5years to an ex bullrider. Ive written poetry my whole life. I am currently working on my short stories and essays.
Never waste time being someone you’re not
Only accept a genuine love
Do not get lost in deception
In ones who lie in wait
Forever playing fools game
Thinking ally in those who love
Be not leery of my intentions
For my character is true
I am deserving of much more
Than your opinion of me
Short circuits running through my brain
Waves that crash and come back again
The clay of thought folding in on itself
A place of pain coming off the shelf
Defeat and horror
The taste of blood
Casualties of war
Your memories flood
The screams and tearing of inner walls
And whispers of loss desperately calls
I want to be free of the torment within
I open my eyes…my day begins
