These I Can Promise by Mark Twain I cannot promise you a life of sunshine; I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold; I cannot promise you an easy pathway That leads away from change or growing old. But I can promise all my heart's devotion; A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow; A love that's ever true and ever growing; A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow. Hosted on Acast.

“Life’s too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

 I saw a young mother With eyes full of laughter And two little shadows Came following after. Wherever she moved,  They were always right there Holding onto her skirts,  Hanging onto her chair. Before her, behind her— An adhesive pair. “Don't you ever get weary As, day after day,  your two little tagalongs Get in your way?” She smiled as she shook Her pretty young head,  A...

Letting go Tonight I don’t want to be strong, I want to be soft and vulnerable and just want to be held, strong and tight in a way I know I won’t break, because you won’t hurt me. I want to be saved and I don’t want to feel ashamed or feel less of a strong woman for wanting so. I don’t want to be Wonder Woman tonight, running a house, single mum, working full time. No. Tonight I want to be just a...

Someone made you feel so small, They stole your voice away. Made you sorry for being you. Made you feel that the black eyes and purple evidence of pain that mark you, are all your fault. All your fault.  You were the one that made them hit you, hurt you, beat you black and blue, they say. They put their virulent-veined faces too close to yours and screamed until spit splashed your face. The l...

Thoughts of you…Saturday Morning in March Our bodies fit together like a certain madness , like fingers intertwined and hidden under covers On ‘we’ve no plans yet’ Saturday mornings when rain crackles— like beach fires against the windows.. we lay there, just outside of anxiety’s reach. Ours would be a beautiful sadness it’s already there in your eyes for now-- we fit at least and the rain doesn’t...

Epitaph by Merrit Malloy Original Language English When I die Give what's left of me away To children And old men that wait to die. And if you need to cry, Cry for your brother Walking the street beside you. And when you need me, Put your arms Around anyone And give them What you need to give to me. I want to leave you something, Something better Than words Or Sounds. Look for me In the people I'v...

May you never steal, lie or cheat. But if you must steal, then steal away my sorrows. And if you must lie, lie with me all the nights of my life. And if you must cheat, then please cheat death, because I couldn't live a day without you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I have always believed that love lives in the details.  penciled between life lines of poetic existence;  tiny messages of hope.  faint sometimes-- but left there by a former me,  one who knew-- that someday I would come looking,  and now I'm seeking.  I'm searching for reminders that love lives here.  sketched in graphite,  tattooed in blank pages tattered...
