measures out who I'll be<br />
emotions rage in cups<br />
with pinches of spice and fire<br />
and tablespoons of ice<br />
<br />
when men cry<br />
it feels like heavy weights<br />
are falling from the eyes<br />
the soul is a cup of water<br />
and tears are drops that overflow<br />
exposing the heart underneath<br />
<br />
some moments are clear<br />
like perfect ice on a lake<br />
you can see everything<br />
other moments foggy<br />
none of the lines match<br />
two halves do not make a whole<br />
<br />
the switchboard master changes<br />
as fast as light can go<br />
one master for each moment<br />
splintered fragments of time<br />
like shattered ice<br />
my frozen soul<br />
in pieces<br />
<br />
stabbing pains and soothing warmth<br />
each director has a path<br />
the destination unclear<br />
wavering this way, tilting there<br />
like a drunk weaving<br />
through crowds of memories<br />
and dreams<br />
<br />
if only once a choice was made<br />
a goal was written in stone<br />
my soul would rest in the bowl<br />
rather than freezing, shattering,<br />
wavering, wandering,<br />
or dying all aloneLovingly Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03449240479902315973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288540598607443186.post-14054696379945629082013-08-12T21:27:00.001-07:002013-08-12T21:27:31.085-07:00Is It Love?<div class="MsoNormal">
That moment of silence</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Right after goodnight</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And right before you leave</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is a hole in the heart for both of you</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wondering, waiting</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do I say it first?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A breath of fresh air it would be to speak</div>

But what if it isn’t real?</div>

If all of this is just imagined</div>

Feelings?</div>

I love you?</div>

Radar readings are normal<br />
Nothing new to see<br />
Droning lines<br />
Boring<br />
But then-<br />
A reading.<br />
<br />
Is it a sign of life?<br />
Someone in the stars?<br />
Wait for more<br />
We will see<br />
If it means anything<br />
<br />
Avid staring eyes<br />
Blue and brown and green<br />
All are hoping<br />
Life has been found<br />
There can be joy<br />
<br />
The one and only question<br />
Is this reading true?<br />
Is there hope<br />
Or is there just a blip?<br />
<br />
Am I just a blip<br />
On your fancy tech?<br />
An aberration<br />
A miracle<br />
The question is<br />
Am I a blip?</div>

<div>
I like to watch clowns walk<br />
Their feet stick out<br />
Colorfully<br />
And every other second,<br />
I think they are going to fall<br />
And if they do<br />
I laugh<br />
So much<br />
<br />
Then when I see<br />
Zumiez skater shoes<br />
I think of skaters<br />
Doing amazing tricks<br />
And then the fakers<br />
The ones who like what the skaters do-<br />
They try to show up<br />
The masters<br />
And they fall<br />
<br />
Elf shoes<br />
Curled up at the ends<br />
With a little bell<br />
That jingles<br />
I giggle to hear it<br />
<br />
Have you ever seen<br />
Skiers?<br />
They have just put on their shoes<br />
And their feet<br />
Are now ten times<br />
Longer<br />
What a mess!<br />
<br />
Tall stick-shoes<br />
I don’t know the name<br />
But I’m sure you know<br />
What they are<br />
The ones in parades<br />
To make men taller<br />
It takes great balance<br />
And practice<br />
But all I do is laugh<br />
Because the image<br />
Is worth the laughs<br />
<br />
High heeled tiny shoes<br />
For tiny people<br />
Short girls with skinny legs<br />
And hair down to their ankles<br />
Playing dress up<br />
In high, high heels<br />
Make me smile<br />
It’s like short-woman-syndrome<br />
<br />
Then there are those girls-<br />
Girls pretending to be women<br />
With the strut<br />
They think it looks sexy<br />
But it ends up with<br />
Tripping over her own feet<br />
Why so hilarious?</div>

<div>
I see a shadow moving<br />
Pivoting, deciding<br />
Short in one second<br />
Then long<br />
Everywhere in between<br />
<br />
The shadow never decides<br />
His owner never really moves<br />
In the unusual occasion that he moves<br />
He changes his mind<br />
mid step<br />
<br />
Two steps forward<br />
Another step back<br />
Every step changes<br />
The destination is different<br />
<br />
The shadow is always growing<br />
Learning to take one step<br />
But even when he takes a step<br />
The direction<br />
Is always moving<br />
<br />
On a compass wheel<br />
The shadow starts with going north<br />
But his goal<br />
Is changing<br />
As the shadow grows<br />
East by southeast<br />
North by northwest<br />
West<br />
<br />
I get impatient with the shadow<br />
Move<br />
Just move<br />
Choose, and keep with it<br />
I can’t interpret<br />
What his movement means<br />
<br />
He is growing<br />
I am watching<br />
Hoping his next step<br />
Is directed to me</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
There are so many reasons</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That I need words</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Loss and pain</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Love and hope</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To feel, I first have words</div>
<br />The first night of college<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
in my first apartment</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
a thousand miles from home</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was a stranger</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I needed words then</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was homesick</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
but also lost-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
heartsick and alone</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I needed words of love</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wanted to define reasons</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For silliness and stupidity</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why I act like a child sometimes</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And why I love it</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I needed words then</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love the childish feelings</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
but feeling means nothing</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
unless there is understanding</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
and acceptance</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Words help me understand</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I used to hear a joke</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
about turtles that could fly</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
it always made me laugh</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
even that meant more</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I needed words then</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I thought of flying turtles</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I could laugh and smile</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just the idea of flying turtles</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Taught me to look at life</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And laugh</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was a night where it was dark</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
and I am afraid of the dark</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
all I could see was my cell</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
the lights were all turned out</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I needed words then</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If I could define fear</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My fear might shrink enough</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That I could go to sleep</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In that night words saved me </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In different times of my life</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I needed words</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just to know what I meant</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What had happened</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
She told me</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To make you love me</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Telling stories about myself</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Getting a connection to you</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Making you love me</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For me</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I can’t</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I think that people love me</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They tell me all the time</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Lisa-I love you”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Usually it’s because they are laughing</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I didn’t get an obvious joke</div>

Two and a half seconds later</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I got it</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m like that, always</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been told that I am nice</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And I am</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
the ones who pick up other people’s trash</div>

behind a back</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s me</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m one of the touchy feely people</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I jump out of nowhere</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And give you a hug</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am always hugging</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ll see a person three times</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Every time I see them</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They get a hug</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s me</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You know the people who smile a lot?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Their faces permanently grin</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You know what I mean</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They just smile</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In that way</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the half moon dimples</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The mouth turned up at the ends</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

I’m one of them</div>

If you want to love me</div>

with super strength<br />
to solve people's problems<br />
and save their lives<br />
ignoring what is wrong with me<br />
<br />
I'm ordinary<br />
I listen when you're sad<br />
Hugs are my specialty<br />
it's how I work to fix the wrongs<br />
I question sometimes<br />
but there will always be me to listen<br />
<br />
Listening is all I can do, most times<br />
I flit around on hummingbirds wings<br />
until I am needed<br />
and then I stop<br />
I sit down<br />
and I will always listen<br />
<br />
Still I wish I had superstrength<br />
to help my people<br />
never sharing my issues<br />
because I am not a burden to others<br />
I just want to listen<br />
and never share my problems<br />
but I am not strong like that<br />
My emotional muscles can only bear so much<br />
<br />
my troubles come up small<br />
in the face of others<br />
<br />
When I hear men cry<br />
I cry too<br />
because it is unusual for men to cry<br />
but also because I care<br />
so if they cry<br />
there must be great reason<br />
<br />
If my stoic friend is sad<br />
a relationship has broken<br />
a death<br />
just plain stress<br />
being sick<br />
tired of it all<br />
I will cry with them.Lovingly Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03449240479902315973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288540598607443186.post-26282749780273536772011-11-20T14:09:00.001-08:002011-11-20T14:09:15.615-08:00Daughter of a KingI am like a snowflake<br />
A perfect different frozen piece<br />
One of many on the earth<br />
Yet I have an innate worth<br />
<br />
I am like a crystal<br />
Changing as you view me<br />
Always individual<br />
In my way I'm beautiful<br />
<br />
I am like myself<br />
I am truly me<br />
Difference makes me unique<br />
I am full of hope yet meek<br />

Painting the whole world white<br />
The cold is pushing in my room<br />
I hide under the covers<br />
I don’t want to be cold<br />
I already feel sick<br />
My body refused to sleep<br />
Inside my head is a thunderstorm<br />
<br />
The night before had ended late<br />
A friend advised me it was okay to ask<br />
A blessing would help your plight<br />
I did not want to ask for help<br />
The cold is rushing through me<br />
Stark in contrast to the blissful snow<br />
<br />
I did end up asking for help<br />
I knew that God cared about me<br />
Maybe a blessing would not be bad<br />
So I asked, and help did fly<br />
Before my blessed friends arrived<br />
I prayed to God I’d understand<br />
That what He’d say would heal my hurt<br />
<br />
I took a shower, changed my clothes<br />
And I waited, talked to God<br />
I told God what made me sad<br />
Every word he understood<br />
Though I waited, I felt good<br />
I knew it was for the best<br />
<br />
My Daddy called me, talked to me<br />
Telling me what I could do<br />
If I would take care of me<br />
My problems wouldn’t be so big<br />
I trusted in my Dad<br />
And also in my Lord<br />
I knew they both were right<br />
<br />
Then my blessing-givers came<br />
Dressed in suits and ties<br />
We said a prayer, kneeling down<br />
I don’t remember what was said<br />
Then my blessing finally came<br />
Priesthood power paved the way<br />
The words they spoke I won’t forget<br />
I hadn’t told them why I was sad<br />
Why I needed comfort now<br />
But God told me that I could trust<br />
My teachers had important words<br />
This is the place for me to be<br />
My studies must come first, he said<br />
Through my friend who came to me<br />
<br />
When they left, I sat and cried<br />
All the cold had left my heart<br />
I could feel God’s love for me<br />
Warmth inspired all my soul<br />
I believed in God that day<br />
<br />
Now I know for surety<br />
When I speak to God out there<br />
He can hear my every word<br />
Even in a silent prayer<br />
And he cares so much for me<br />
I’m an ant among the world<br />
Yet I’m special, that I know-<br />
I know God will always care<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
You told me to write an original</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Something that no one else thought</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A world seen through a wall of glass</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sprinkled with shining images</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Give me something absolutely new</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Make me understand and know</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everything you think you know</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Put it together for an original</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Make connections to make it new</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I want to see a single thought</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Show me through these images</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I must know with clarity like glass</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Is there a world beyond that glass?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Is it better not to know?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If I only see small images</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maybe that world will stay original</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Is it added upon by thought?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope it always stays this new.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the river always is new</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even though it’s clear as glass</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is like a bending thought</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The contents change what I know</div>

Even when uttered, original</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thoughts expressed in images</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Looking at these images</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I see the world and it seems new</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The world is a river, original</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even when it is as clear as glass</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is always something new to know</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
More than I had ever thought</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I like that there is always thought</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So we can add the images</div>

If I knew all there was to know</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The world would stop being so new</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All of a sudden clearer than glass</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nothing would be original</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With thought and change to make things new</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What we know beyond straight glass</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Images never cease to be original</div>Lovingly Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03449240479902315973noreply@blogger.com0
