I can say with great faith that
I will not miss 2011.
There were some amazing things, but
A LOT of painful things and annoying
Instances that zapped me of my faith,
Hope and dreams and yet there were
Others times and instances that
More than completely replaced them.
I do hope and pray that 2012 is
Better in so many ways!

On the 21st...
What were we thinking?
Why did we even believe that
Being alone was even a good idea
Even for a sneeze?

Being alone was even a good idea

Forty Times
Forty times she lifts her head to
See what she can see and what she
Sees right in front of her is a
Cake ablaze with forty mini torches.
There's no one there to assist in
The extinguishing and it seems to be
Fine for now 'cause once the flames are
Doused with a shout of, "It's over!"
She runs out the door of her mental prison...
Straight for the tequila her hands go to
Embrace another night making out with its
Glass mouth - sucking its face and swilling down
Its warm, wormy libation - she notices her
Permanent frown etched in the
Reflection on the side of the
Label-less bottle, peels it for jest
Since there's nothing there and no one to
Impress with her stories of being a
Pro chugger of alcohol and blows out
The candles with all that's left of her breathing.

Angela's Ashes
Her sashes sashay around her as
She goes floating through the
Choreography of her life...
There is one yes and many "no's"
Along the way in her story.
She builds with abandon but often
Looks back at the empire she built
With regrets - then she begins her
Tirade to remove all that's turned gray
In her quest to tell love she's okay...
Okay without it and its many allusions to
What is and could have been - she
Refuses the bruises that land on her
Shins from the beating she takes upon
Falling down in a heap so as not to
Make a peep while praying once again
For deliverance - set free to allay any
Fears kept at bay that tried to run ashore
On her heart told "no" one more day in
This game she plays without rules...
With her heart set ablaze, she doesn't seem
Phased that she will find herself in an
Urn from this pain.

Don't know what I know...
As if I didn't know
I didn't know... I knew
You wouldn't know either.
We declared and shared -
Declaimed and hopefully did
Not maim each others' hearts
In the process of falling in
Love with each others' beings -
Essences - and the sizzle started to
Fizzle in the kisses on the lipsziz and
Ears from fears of hearing the
Stopping of the beating of the chambers that
Push that life flowing, hot, color of Valentines
Liquid into all the areas where it shouldn't
Go quite right yet - exhale pale in
Comparison to the feelings that began -
Begin every time I see that smile -
It quivers, it questions, it doubts - yet
It hopes, and tries not to hurt the receiver
Who stares in disbelief at it thinking,
"Boy am I lucky! Do I deserve this?
Will this last?
Is this falling in the right place, at
The right time...
Called love?"
I know I don't know, but I thought
I knew a few weeks back and now
I don't know and I don't expect much
Better from you.

Put on your gloves and
Put up your dukes...
It's time to give back to
Those who have flukes
In their lives often unfortunate ones
That zap them of time and
Heart and love.
Fill that box with as much as you can.
Be like the widow who gave
All that she had... if you can't
Than don't even try to defend
The blows that may come to
Your psyche, my friend.

It's only 21 days away and
The sleigh bells are ringing
In my heart and my mind
Jangling my feelings...
What do I get for the one
I love... I've already given him
My heart and we fit like gloves.
He's perfect for me and I can't
Even believe it that this love is
Mine and we didn't push or shove to
Make it happen... now doves
Fly over to declare such a sight
When we hold hands and kiss
It's a glorious night!

Will You Be Mine?
It's NOT even Valentine's and yet it's
Close enough for LOVE to be in the
Air and in my ear... whispered and
Shouted from my weak knees to
My quivering heart...
Yes, I will be yours... it's frightening,
But true I LOVE YOU and
You love me too!
It is quite new and I don't want it to
End... whatever happens we will be
Friends till the end!

I suppose... of the
Year!
