February's Poetry & Prose

"Thief of Hearts"
Just when I am certain
that there is no way
you could steal my heart,
you prove yourself to be
a much better thief
than I could have imagined.
~ Deborah Lighthart

"Surrender"
You test my soul
And bring me to tears
You break me open
to release my fears
I am forever
Yours
~ Deborah Lighthart

 so interesting lately
   so many families in pain
 dissembled
      isolated
froze in time
protecting centuries of lies
for universal ears that don't  give a shit
I call on all my past wife's
 in this life time
 too kick my ass
 but it's just to get attention 
clueless really
so I ask all my mom's
please see me
AM i good 
but their so pissed that no one saw their goodness
 so they say
stop being my loser  baby
.............. so I pause............. die......... a little   become nothing    rebirth a bunch
few more life time of  lesson's     rutabaga's       yogurt      mustard        ham
then I see the evil in me and it hurt's not in a good way but a barflie way
need some real honest hot soup healing
need some universal disco need to care about others but don't know how
 "f"                                                                                                          escape
retribution disco      happiness jail       sanity love house        actual bliss
what works life ?
                      fun futility flowers               who's got this answer ?
