Concealed Within

I’ve locked these words up tight,
I’ve kept them to myself,
Silent all this time,
And now here they boil,
To the surface of my skin,
Building as a scream,
And finishing in a shower of tears,
Convulsions that I cannot contain,
Threatening to tear me apart,
Holding it together as best I can,
I cover again, what is concealed within.

How about going off and kicking some booty? You go girl! Speak your mind or your mind will betray you. A stifled heart will have no peace until your voice is heard. Remember, .....love is patient, love is kind......

Beautiful poetry, but I fear the inspiration for this may be the cause of much turmoil in your life. Sometimes it's best to cut our losses in a bad, or hopelessly unchanging situation. It takes two to tango, and there's no use beating a dead horse. No way it's getting up!

I completely agree with Rodger. You need to kick some booty. I am not naming who. You know who it is. I love you dearly and will do everything in my power to keep you happy my friend. Take care my darling woman!!!

Dear Mandy

I send you LOVELY LADY - by Shawn Phillips (1967-1968)

Lovely lady
Never shady
Running up the mountain side
Purple brocade
Woolen top coat
She cast away her useless pride
On her own
Her soul has grown
To bring about her peace of mind
In her hand
A lovely land
To help her look and search and find
Swirling forms of tantric art
Are filling out her schedule planned
And she's without a man

Woman blonde
Climbing on
To reach a level in her heart
It's the same
Without a name
You're doing fine with a running start
In the door
You'll work some more
You're finding where it's at for sure
Every other day
It will pay
You'll love to live and be the way
You feel the start of day

You'll be sad
It won't be bad
But you can get away from that
Crystal facet
Not an asset
You have your friend the jet black cat
He will follow
Crying hollow
Scratch his head and stroke his ear
He will bring you in your love now
Ever close and ever near
And you will feel no fear

I am glad
It's not a fad
But there are some who won't go on
Full expression
No suppression
But she is strong
The woman blond
Lovely lady
Never shady
Running o'er volcanic land
Make your curry
Never worry
It is settled in your plan
And you will find your man

Thanks everyone!

Nikki & Rodger: Surprisingly this poem wasn't inspired by anything at this point, it just sounded cool.
