Category: Women Who Think to Much

I met him in the valley
I met the shadow of death
I really didn’t care much
for me was nothing left

I’d all but lost my mind
I really didn’t care
I met him in the valley
He seemed to keep me there

The face it seemed familiar
But sometimes it would change
It really did not matter
I know this might sound strange

I did not realize how deep I had gone
Till I realized there was no light
He removed his mask in comfort
It was then I felt the fright

I danced with the darkness
he gave me a new name
my name is HAD

From Brevard Zoo, 2014

Yesterday, I went to the zoo, for the first time in twenty years. I mainly went for the Butterfly Exhibit, but since there were very few butterflies, my husband Jerry and I walked around the trails and enjoyed the other attractions. My first stop was the gift store where I asked Jerry to buy me a butterfly headband that lights up and yup, he did and yup,  I wore it.
Took hundreds of pictures, of course! This was my favorite bird, of course cause it’s PINK. Didn’t even read the poster to find out what kind of bird, I was too overwhelmed by the PINK!

 

Wake me before you go~

I don’t like
eggs that are slimy and
lunch meat turned green.
Boys who are so nice and
girls who are so mean.
Ghosts who shout BOO
under my bed as I sleep,
bad dreams that linger and
sweet dreams I can’t keep.
Sluts who flirt with my man
while I’m standing so near.
A mirror reflecting my fat which
I didn’t even know was there.
Friends that are not
but I thought they were.
A hurt that won’t heal
a disease with no cure.
Alligators who get caught
and cut into Gator Bites,
sad end for a tough guy
who survived many fights.
Idiots who don’t even look
before turning
right at red lights.
Getting lost on roads
that I used to know.
A bad haircut, cause
my hair grows so slow.

Visited you today
Just dropped in unannounced
Stepped into your pain and
Slid through your confusion
Visited you today
Don’t know if you felt me slip in
Through my favorite door
You were unguarded
So, perhaps you felt my love.

Happiness slithered

up my arm today

sneaking into my head

and then it warmed my heart.

Didn’t even recognize

the feeling

it startled me, so rare

so alien to me

I was happy today,

I was.
