The Conversation



And so they met, the unlikeliest of meetings
To have a chat on their latest winnings
The three so diverse and different
Yet they all vied for the same thing
Man’s attention they craved
To make a niche in his life they wanted

‘M' spoke up first as she had achieved the most it seemed
With an air of confidence she stated
“Without me he is lost
More of me is all he craves
He had sell himself for me,
I am all he thinks about at night
Ways and means of having me,
I could go on and on about all the things he has done for me
But it would be enough, if you turn around you had find
All these men have their eyes on me"

'R' seemed annoyed by this, for she wasn't very far behind
She said, "all that you say is quiet alright
But he had give away thousands like you  just at my very sight
I may not have the heavens by my side anymore, sure
But i have a billion men at my feet
Who had give up their last penny and maybe even more
Sure i am not as pretty as you or L
But  with all the finest things do they , me adorn"

At this did ' L' look up
"Pretty you say,I?
Look at me, he hasn't looked my way in years i say
Battered, bruised , used and thrown away
And yet in those fleeting moments i continue to give
Only to be rejected and  discarded again
They used to say that i could conquer all
But now that he has both of you
He does not feel my need at all
He spends his life for and with both of you
While i wait my turn for the very end
For i will be the only one there, when he comes to me broken
But i do hope it's not too late by then
For my will is slowly eroding

And so sat Religion and Money
Discussing their wins over mankind
While sweet little Love gazed into the distance
Waiting for her time.

The High Road

Take the high road, they said Hold your peace and be the "bigger man". Swallow your pride, your hurt and what you know is right. let them go their way, they said. Hold your tongue, they said be the calm in the storm don't let them get the better of you, don't stoop keep your head held high they said. weather the storm, they said he sees it all they said hold your peace and keep your grace life comes a full circle, they said. when others live by "at least", you must live by "my best" , they said. when others cursed and shirked, you must embrace it and bless and thank the lord, they said. The high road is lonely, cruel and harsh up on a pedestal, expectation abound the path less taken for sure. the divine light is at the end they said. but honestly, can't even see it any more.

Doubt

  H ave you ever had this feeling in your heart A feeling there was something missing, M issing a part A feeling in your soul T hat you weren't quite so whole. F eel so heavy Bursting at the sea ms S till so empty there's nothing left to give H ave you ever had that feeling L ike you're not quite there I n a room full of people But the noise disappears Inside you that one voice is so loud But you aren't quite sure what it's going on about. Tossing and turning in my bed So fixated yet unaware Thoughts abundant So unclear Within me, every day everywhere.

Family away from home

For my very few but truly precious friends...... You've known me As I was and as I wanted to be My hopes, my dreams All of my fond memories You were my family away from home My brother, my sister, my pillar Countless laughs we have shared And tears we have spent All our fears we shared And all those plans we had and all those that were undone. And although we don't talk every day Every hour any more. And you are no longer the first person I turn to When I am scared or happy or sad. You are always there whenever I really need to count on someone You are there when I need to be grounded You are still there in all my memories In the way I was and the way I want to be.
