Live Life

By Valerie Loveless

 

She dances in the dream

Like a ballerina with no name

She glides across the room with ease

As lightly as a leaf that falls from a tree.

Like a bird who takes flight

Her message comes across clear

Through her dance, watch close you’ll hear,

Her words of wisdom, her words of might, live your life.

 

Dedicated to Liz…you have been more to me than words could ever show.

Beautiful Soul

by Dawn Kontomichalas

 

Even as a small child I have been in awe of

her graceful beauty;

a ballerina dancing her way through life.

An artist of life, she saw beauty in everything.

She embraced life...all of it...the good and the bad.

Often misunderstood by others but,

those who really knew her

cherished her uniqueness.

She was one of a kind...strong, spirited...unbreakable

yet, elegant and full of love...with a heart of gold.

She gave everything and asked nothing in return.

She had an acceptance of people for who they were.

An acceptance of life for what it was.

A true beauty inside and out; stunning beauty.

An Angel that God allowed us to have for a short time

to teach and show us proof of his existance.

For who else could have created such a beautiful creature?

Anyone who had the chance to have her in their life

was truly blessed.

I can only hope that in my life,

I can be half the woman she was.

I lost not only an aunt but, a mother and a soul mate,

because she was all these things to me throughout my life.

She was the most beautiful soul.

 

                                               "WHO KNEW?"...'I Knew'...

Please, Accept Me

By Valerie Loveless

 

The little girl looks at her mother.

A tear flows gently down her face.

She wipes it away, leaving dirt in its place.

She remembers a time of happiness.

She remembers a time when her life was blessed.

It seems so long ago for this child of five.

It seems like a time she will never find.

She sits in a corner full of pain.

She sits in the corner going insane.

She sits in the corner and drifts silently away.

She sits in the corner on her last dying day.

 

Valerie Loveless has worked as a child abuse investigator, & dedicated the above  poem to ‘all’ the children of the world…

 Watching You

by Bill Crimi

Watching you as your spirit yearns for flight

into every source, everywhere

back to a life once known

long forgotten, cept for a fleeting glimpse.

As I walk through your eyes,

a wispering image beckons;

smiling in the words..."its alright..."

Looks like an Angel

appearing in once empty space;

you linger

half-way between here and there.

Watching you....

brings me into the light of yesterday

we were young...new

far from sight of these worn out days of ours;

smooth little bodies

splashed in a bath of bubbles and fun

so young;

the tears we shared through years

feeling one anothers dream go broken.

Little now...is spoken,

as I watch you

and love you

as your eyes...love me.

 

                                               Dedicated to My Beautiful Sister Lizbeth

Orange VelvetArmchair

by Trent Alic

 

orange velvet armchair

frayed from all the days

spent under you

smells like ginseng

from when I spit my tea

my grip was a bit too loose

as it was with

my handling of situations

and its bitter aftertaste

that left you bearing

familiar handfuls

of callous heartbreak

i found a letter stuffed underneath

this orange velvet cushion

asking me to watch the sunrise

it was from you

and for once i listened

with vodka at my side

as it had always been there

to ease my endeavors

and this time was no different

so i climbed up to the roof

where i found the perfect spot

and sat down with shy intent

    Big Sweet Blinking Eyes

by Bill Crimi

 

Looking in your eyes...those big, sweet, blinking eyes

already, I cry

anticipating the empty days ahead.

No loving morning panting at my face,

then sitting sadly as you watch me leave for the day.

No tail wagging joyous dance of praise

greeting me home...

You made me your hero it seems,

loving me more than I ever dreamed.

Now...the time which blessed me in you,

takes you away.

Good-bye my sweet, big blinking eyes...

good-bye

 Into The Mist

by Bill Crimi

 

Long nights...long walks...

stretch the inevitable pain

each day finds an excuse

into the next

and the next

then, another....

Its just you and me out here

in the dark

long deserted by others

but...isn't that how it all began

just me and you?

 

I painted pictures

you chewed the rawhide bone.

I'd find you patiently waiting

for my return

from states of fantasy

captured on canvas

or carved in stone.

 

As we walk

I pretend these moments will never end

fabricating dreams of rescue

an Angel of intervention

from out of the mist

sheltering wings

and a smile

 

Down to the wire

its not just you and I any longer;

spirits linger

can you feel them

waiting

gathering like clouds

ready to envelope

and take you home.

Waiting

for me

to

let

go
