And ANOTHER old one ….
MELANCHOLY SYMPHONY
I got words of old ringing in my ears
But happiness in my heart.
I got images of ’then’ running thru my mind
But real love living in my house.
I got words of yours, sounding in my head
But kindness sleeping in my bed.
…Maybe it would be easier,
If you were dead.

Time
There were times
When each word that fell from your lips
Weighed
There were times
When the shape of your head in a crowd
Was like breathing out.
There were times
When the slightest movement of your hand
Could heal one thousand silent hurts.
There were times
When the falling of your eyelash
Was as loud as the closest thunder.
There were times
When the rough soles of your feet on my legs at night
Was simple safety.
There were times
When you where the beginning and the middle.
Now, you are just the part told,
After the end.
Come Morning
And he does not see the wet in your eye
In the morning light.
And he does not
Care for the passions of your heart
Or the screaming
Of your soul,
No.
For he is away with fairies
- All the while.
He is dancing grand tango’s
With future loves,
- All the while.
And he has touched you,
And caressed you
And pushed into you
With wild screams
And unfeeling hands
And he is done,
Come morning.

Were I.
Were I to blink,
Would the sun refrain from shining?
Were I to sigh,
Would the wind hold its breath?
Were I to laugh,
Would the heavens stop their crying?
Were I to know,
Would it matter, nonetheless?

We are but creatures
of now.
And yet, shadows,
Of ‘then’.

Sometimes, in the silence
I hear the echo of your voice,
And the way your foot grips your shoe
Comes to mind, from long ago.
Sometimes while doing dishes,
I am reminded of your lashes
And the crinkles that parenthesize your mouth
And crease, just so.
Sometimes, at inopportune moments,
I am reminded of your fingers
And the ‘patting squeezing’ thing
You do, to replace feelings you cannot show.
Lately, I forget you
And the remembering is always surprising
It’s just the way that life goes on
To and froe, to and froe.
But sometimes, I feel your solitude,
Late at night, in your home
And your deliberations of the fragements
Of all the wars you’ve fought alone.

Wow.
I am getting married in three weeks.
This is huge. H-U-G-E.
I can’t seem to concentrate long enough lately to write prose, so here’s some mush travelling around my mind at alternate speeds of one million miles an hour and serious ’snail time’…
Time Warp
Just a second before I give you the ultimate gift.
Just a second.
Just a minute before I say ‘yes’,
- And hand you the rest of my life.
Just a second before I close the door
Firmly,
On lost loves and the agony of lost dreams
Just a second
Before I step a joint step with you,
Forward,
Into the unknown that is our life together.
Just a second before my father
Loses a daughter,
And gains a son.
Just a tremmor of time and we’ll be there,
- You,
And me,
And God,
(and Elvis)
And everyone we know.
It is impossible
To sum up this feeling,
- Even ‘for just a second’.

Lovers will blame us,
Time will change us,
Life will shape us,
Children will tame us.

Tic-toc, tic-toc.
You never once stopped
To think.
Game over.
Filed under Poetry | Comments (47)A Friday afternoon soppy poem, while he sleeps…
One crooked smile,
Two skinny feet,
Three kisses in the morning,
Four legs between our sheets.
Five cookies with your coffee,
Six towels to wash a week,
Seven nights of warmth and closeness,
Eight remotes for the TV (!)
Nine times out of ten, you turn my mouth into a smile
Its on your love that I am counting, it makes everything worthwhile.
I love you bubz,
Jodie

Filed under Poetry | Comments (9)Playing with Traffic … The Ultimate Experiment.
So… ya mamma told ya never to play with the traffic eh? Times have changed.
I posted a viral marketing post on Facebook.
See here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=31196706272
The idea is to see what viral marketing can REALLY do for a website.
I also said.. that after getting 100,000 visitors to my site, I WILL (a promise is a promise) do something wild online (but not obscene)…
Pls, add your comments below on what that wild thing should be… and we’ll see.
Use your minds, go crazy, knock yourselves out. I am wide open to ideas.
