Heart! We will forget him!
You and I—tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave—
I will forget the light!

When you have done, pray tell me
That I may straight begin!
Haste! lest while you're lagging
I remember him!

low self image?
 

A charm invests a face
Imperfectly beheld.
The lady dare not lift her veil
For fear it be dispelled.

But peers beyond her mesh,
And wishes, and denies,
'Lest interview annul a want
That image satisfies.

Emily Dickinson

a bit of me - with my only child is what I have to offer you today,
connected to life, through love - and pain...
some say no pain is not to gain a deeper aspect of life - we grow in those
painful times - when you have to live by faith one day at a time...

This is one of my favorite songs, especially when I'm thinking of someone I may have harmed or disappointed over the years. I can apply to anyone....even God. :)

"The Reason" - Hoobastank (LOVE that name :p )

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You

and the reason is You [x3]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Self-Employed

By David Ignatow

For Harvey Shapiro


I stand and listen, head bowed,
to my inner complaint.
Persons passing by think
I am searching for a lost coin.
You’re fired, I yell inside
after an especially bad episode.
I’m letting you go without notice
or terminal pay. You just lost
another chance to make good.
But then I watch myself standing at the exit,
depressed and about to leave,
and wave myself back in wearily,
for who else could I get in my place
to do the job in dark, airless conditions?

The most amazing part of gazing
or playing church consisted of
A uniformed penitent attire
which a giggle was to put afoot afire

Dragged by arm acrossed a pew
No joyous smile would nun forgive
It was time to be sad and mourn
Heart inside cried out,let me live

As a Catholic wildchild
twas required to attend the Mass
A weekly sacrifice to acquire
My Salvation or Damnation pass

Flunk or fail, to prevail was amusing
The singing was not of joy but dread
The sound of dirges was I to sing
To the King upon a cross lie dead

All the beauty of His Life
God was good not cruel
I did not learn as a little child
When I attended Catholic School

this is an original poem by me - DocJohn...*smiile
 

Stay me - at a distance dear sir
You make me feel feared
You push me away like I have no feelings
You tell me nothing I need to hear
You cant say love - not of your own wanting
But by the book you make it divine
I do not like love if forced
unless it is of free heart and will
You hate me by my genders faults
You have me well kept - dear sir
A silent listen in my brain
Dear sir you afford my lovely little cage
yet I would rather take my leave tonight
To be free of body and rejoice in my Lord
When you cut me I bleed, you say-it's about you
You tell me to listen -it's not about me
Listen -listen then in silent disconnect
You make me feared in my heart again
So if it is not love or about love
If it duty -then do the duty for God
Stay me at - a distance, dear sir
