Another Poem...OMG Look at the Date!!

My Bleeding Heart

Reach out…

Just once and touch my Heart

But Gently for it bleeds.

Once…I gave it long ago

I gave it willingly.

That hand

That I once gave my Heart

Squeezed…So very tight.

Before I had a chance to love

That Heart of mine took flight.

Years…spent on looking back, now

In the distance, I see you

Maybe…time has healed my Heart

Reach out…

But gently do.

Helloooooo.....I'm Still Here!

Came across a poem I wrote some years back....wonder where my head was! haha

Tumbleweeds

I reach out my heart to only…

Find pieces lying by the roadside

In tangled tumbleweeds and hotness…

While my body burns slowly, quietly

Fueled by my desire for that which eludes me.

And now, as I come up for air…

The wall is once again in place

This time to stay.

No place for miniscule feelings to tear it down

As my heart lies buried beneath the pillars of stone…

Desire wanes and it burns no more.

~ Debralee

Ever have a day like that? Glad things are going so much better in my life these days...but when I get depressed or just down-in-the-dumps....I am able to write...go figure!
