no needle, but the damage is done

Thursday, June 14th 2007

neil said it best
the needle and
the damage done
every junkie’s
like a settin’ sun

well i am a junkie
but my poison is food
i don’t inject
but i get strung out
when i crave
to taste
what i shouldn't have
and i give in
all the time

my poison is everywhere
not in dark alleys
but i eat in the dark
to feed my addiction
so no one knows
except me
how bad it really is

my poison is often in disguise
the salad
sitting on the buffet
drizzled wi...

moving that mountain...one rock at a time

Wednesday, June 13th 2007

there are clichés
lots of them
that remind us that
patience is a virtue
that rome wasn’t built in a day,
that good things come to those who wait
and so on and so forth

then there is the story
of the ant and the rubber tree
oops there goes another one
remember him?
you see he did
what everyone
doubted he would ever do
because he had hope
high hopes


so how do you balance
hope and patience?
wanting something
desperately,
completely
when sooner, ...

you gave us our voices back - thank you

Tuesday, June 12th 2007

finally i can speak again
because i always
have something to say
it seems
since this whole thing started
or i started
down the long road
to a better me

it was hard
being quiet today
i hated it
because this has become
a part of my
daily routine
writing here
sharing my thoughts
about this journey
we are in
together

i write to share my dreams
to vent my anger
to please my heart
to use the power of words
to perhaps inspire
motivate
entertain

a perfect day

Monday, June 11th 2007

my husband used to say
that a perfect day
consisted of 3 things
a round of golf
a good baseball game,
preferably live
but on TV would do
and
um, well you know
good sex

we've had a few of
those day,
but not many
because all 3 in one day
with schedules and jobs
getting in the way
make those kind of days
very hard to come by

he makes me smile though
because
his needs are so specific
to make a day perfect
but mine,
well mine are not

a perfect ...

the wag

Sunday, June 10th 2007

he wagged his finger at me
last night
like a child
in the restaurant
as i took another taste
of his cherry pie
ala mode
with whipped cream too

that made me mad
he should know better
how that makes me feel
like a child
who can't make her own choices
the right choices
didn't he know
that i could have eaten more
but i didn't
because i knew
what i was doing

i glared in his eyes
don't do that, i said
you know i hate that
even a fake scold
is enough ...
