Flames – DP

lizaaitken

Did my heart once burn so fiercely,

I feel it caught alight,

with a hot and burning passion,

lovers entwined at night.

Did we once climb to the stars,

flying through the sky,

I remember when we landed,

the day we said goodbye.

Those flames of days so long ago,

would once again ignite,

if you’d only call me up,

please call me up tonight.

I smoulder when I hear you name,

like embers in a fire,

I haven’t had enough of you,

of you I’ll never tire.

So light the candle in my heart,

put in on your alter,

give me please just one more chance,

my love will never falter.

Or – DP

lizaaitken

Do what you say or what,

perhaps I have my own mind.

It’s bullying to insist I do,

also I think it’s unkind.

Happiness or heartache,

what’s wrong with being alone.

There’s more to life than relationships,

no, I’m not made of stone.

Take the exam or fail,

there’s more ways to learn a new trick.

Just because I’ve not got a masters,

no, it doesn’t make me thick.

Let’s not forget to do or to die,

where on earth is the sense in that

There’s so many choices out there,

have you worked out Schrodinger’s cat?

A fun response to the Daily Prompt – OR

Vegetal -DP

lizaaitken

Oh, that wine was just so vegetal,

because of unripe grapes.

Picking that bottle from the shelf,

I made a huge mistake.

The smell of my back garden,

was not my desire at all.

Held up closely to my nose,

my face screwed up appalled.

It did not add complexity,

there was certainly a major flaw.

I poured it down the kitchen sink,

put the bottle outside the back door.

Primp – DP

lizaaitken

Today I don’t feel like primping,

unless you want to Skype.

Today I’m going to stay indoors,

I’m avoiding all the hype.

I’m keeping on my slouchy leggings,

with a baggy T on top.

I won’t be putting on lipstick,

I’m not pulling out any stops.

To primp I’d have to give a dam,

I don’t feel like that today.

So I’m staying in my bubble

and the world can go away.

Second Thoughts – DP

lizaaitken

It’s always the last moment,

that I have my second thoughts.

The minutes have reduced,

from two, to one, to nought.

Then I worry I’m too late,

to ever change my mind.

For I deliberate too long,

it’s just that I’m that kind.

If you ask me if I’m certain,

I never really know.

You’ll see me going back and forth,

do I want to go.

So make my mind up for me please,

tell me what to do.

So when it’s time to cast the blame,

it won’t be me but you.

Irksome – DP

lizaaitken

I’m getting somewhat irritated,

you just go on and on,

I want to say it right out loud,

your stories are to long.

I’m finding it exasperating,

when I’m listening to you.

Your boring and uninteresting,

oh, what is a girl to do.

If you could be less awkward,

it wouldn’t be as grating.

Then again not too much,

it might look as if we’re dating.

Relish – DP

lizaaitken

 

Find time in the day to be at one with yourself, find space and silence to sit and do nothing.  To do nothing but clear your mind.  Relish in the stillness you find there, breathe it in and become part of it.  Be at one with nature, as the flower is in a garden swaying in the breeze of life.

Sincere – DP

lizaaitken

A moment of your time please,

I want to make it clear

If I comment on your writing,

I’m being quite sincere.

It means that I have read it,

turned it over in my mind,

I comment because I mean it,

not just trying to be kind.

So if I’ve made some comments,

it is me being true,

on poetry and other art, 

the stuff that you like to do.

It means I spent some time with you,

that’s what I like to try,

Sometime you make me laugh out loud

and then you make me cry.

Bludgeon – DP

lizaaitken

I’m going to bludgeon my anxiety,

beat it black and blue.

Bludgeon it until it’s gone

and I can speak to you.

I want to wake up happy,

without those cares about.

Look into the mirror

with a smile and not a pout. 

I want to bludgeon my neurosis,

as this is just a tease.

I have a stupid problem,

that I always want to please.

I want to make the choices,

to do something if I care.

Not because I have to,

I don’t always want to share.

I want to bludgeon self perception,

so it shows me something new.

So I can see a brighter world,

where there’s more for me to do.

I want to feel I’m worthy,

not defined by my mistakes

To perceive myself succeeding,

might be all that it takes.
