Rubber Ducky Poetry Hour

I lay here beside you
Snuggled against you
Feeling so warm and safe
When I feel your hand
Touching my face tenderly

I open my eyes
Looking up on your smiling face
Your thumb rubbing across my cheek
A smile spreads over my face
As you lean in for a morning kiss

The first kiss of the day
A promise given all over again
That you will be by my side
Through thick and thin
That precious morning kiss

The first kiss of the day
A pledge of our love
For one another
Growing stronger every day
The loving morning kiss

The first kiss of the day
A vow every day
That we will be there
For eachother no matter what
I look forward to that morning kiss

A cold swirling blackness surrounds me
Hiding the sun from my eyes
Hiding the warmth from my flesh
I call your name searching for you

The darkness sticks to me
It won't let me go
It won't let me be free
To feel true love and warmth of friends

This darkness all encompassing
Blinding me and others view of me
I was happy once
Til the darkness came

Never ending
Cold and alone
I stand in the darkness
Calling your name

What is that?
A spark in the distance?
Is that you? My love?
Can you hear me calling out to you?

Again your name, again the spark
But bigger and with warmth
Is that your hand I see reaching into the darkness?
Reaching into the darkness for me?

My hero to brave the darkness
As you wrap your arms around me
Enveloping me in love and warmth
The darkness dissipates with an explosion of light

And I know forever more
I am never alone
For I have you by my side
To help my keep the darkness at bay

Sitting here by this fire
Feeling the warmth
Looking into the heart of it
I feel as if I am carried away

As if I am dancing among the flames
As the wood turn to embers
The smoke swirling off into the night air
The wood crackling and popping

As the fire wraps itself around my heart
I feel a peace settle over me
A peace I rarely feel at all
I feel as one with the fire

Chaos and destruction
But a giver of life at the same time
I am a lover of fire
And fire a lover of me

Ever have one of those days
Where everything seems just too much
All you want to do is break down to cry

A person comes along
They just don't get your level of stress
All they have to say is "Take a chill pill"

That is just too much
Sends you over the edge
But only inside your head

For if your thoughts escaped
Mayhem would ensue
None would be safe from that metaphorical "chill pill"

The boss that is lazy and wants you to do all his work
The friend who wants you to save them from ever crisis they created
The screaming children who want this and want that but don't ask but demand

You want me to "Take a chill pill" you say
Live a day in my life to see if that is possible
I am sure you will need a padded room when your day is over.

Until you live that day, leave me alone
I deal the best that I can with the stress that I have
Don't ever say "Take a chill pill" again

For those might be your last words
As I shove your tongue down your throat
And as I laugh merrily all the while!

Who are you to tell me
What I can do with my body
You don't know the fear
I have to deal with
Just looking over my family tree

I didn't do this to be "brave"
I didn't do this to be "cool"
I did this so I might
Have some peace of mind
And not fear leaving my children as orphans

So many in my family have succumb
To the cancer gene
Not living through the Chemo
Or radiation therapy
So excuse me if I don't care if you don't like my preemptive method

I didn't do it for you
I didn't do it for the public
I did it for myself and my family
They are more important than anyone I know
But thank you for your opinion.

Once upon a time
A long long time ago
We were young
And so in love
Once upon a time
We thought
We couldn't love
Each other more
Than we did back then
Once upon a time
We thought we would
Stay young forever
But once upon a time
Is no more
This is the Here and Now
We are no longer young
Do you still love me?
With my grays
Do you still love me?
With my wrinkles
Do you still love me?
With all the fat on my old body
Do you still love me?
Was it better then?
Or is it better now?
Tell me my love
Has your love grown
With time?
Or shrank
With my fleeting beauty?

Ever have your brain just revolt
Deny working for you
Ever have your brain say
You have abused me enough
I am on strike
For however long I feel like
The simplest tasks
Feel like you need to be
A rocket scientist to do
That old phrase about
Only being 10% smarter
Then the object you're using
Makes you feel like you are
Dumber than rocks
You must remember
To give your brain a vacation
On occasion
Or this might be you
Way too soon
All work and no play
Is detrimental
To a healthy, happy life
