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.

Cleaning out my old computer… found these old poems that I wrote, way back when…

November 25th, 2008

Time 

There were times

When each word that fell from your lips

Weighed 100 pounds.

 

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?

Now and Then.

August 24th, 2008

We are but creatures

of now.

And yet, shadows,

Of  ‘then’.

Fragments

August 24th, 2008

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.

Pre-wedding thoughts

August 20th, 2008

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’.

Random Ramblings

August 18th, 2008

Lovers will blame us,

 

Time will change us,

 

Life will shape us,

 

Children will tame us.

A fool’s penalty.

Tic-toc, tic-toc.

You never once stopped

To think.

Game over.

A Friday afternoon soppy poem, while he sleeps…

June 6th, 2008

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

Playing with Traffic … The Ultimate Experiment.

April 23rd, 2008

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.
