Interesting...Look what I found...

OK, so I was going through some old files on my computer, Need to clear out some of the 120Gb hard drive, and I found some old poems I wrote for my creative writing class in college. OK, these were written back in 1998 so none of the poems reflect anything that has happened since them...even though some may seem like they did. Anyway, I figure I'll give you a couple at a time....

Only You

Cold sweat pores out my body
As I awake with shaking hands.
Dreams of you still haunt me
Our love I do not understand.
Years ago you made me lonely,
Now again you’ve done the same.
You were my one and only
But now you are my pain.

Transforming

The warm spring wind, comes on the scene
They don their coats of brilliant green.

The summer sun brings searing heat,
They keep their coats full and neat.

Rains fall – winds blow with all their might
But through it all they hold on tight.

Autumn days grow short and the winds grow cold
Somehow they seem to loose their hold.

First the ice and then the snow
Where is that beautiful coat, where did it go?

With shivering limbs they look around
And find their coats upon the ground.

It seems so very strange to me
This crazy cycle of the tree.

Open Window

I hear the wind that whispers
In the heart of the in-between.
The windows all wide open
Though the are not yet seen.
The truth it hears in often
Masked behind the panes.
But when the wind comes rushing in
It will all be clear again.

Best Friend

Hair of gold flowing free
Always waiting just for me.
Faithful – loyal – my biggest fan
Asks no questions – no demands.

Never tattles and never lies,
Sparkling volumes with sparkling eyes.
Man’s best friend – I’m a believer
Cause Molly is – My golden retriever.

OK, so these are pretty lame. The whole rhyming thing is just crazy... But, I do get better. These were dated 10/21/98 so I do get better. Some will really make you think.

Anyway, I just thought I would give you some stuff from my past. Before my world was turned upside down. It's funny because I came across some other stuff on my computer that I thought I deleted. Emails from the ex. I went through and deleted everything of/about him but I guess I missed some. I went back to the email where he tried to explain why he cheated.... get this, he tried to say it was because I didn't call him while I was at the race. He said if I would have called, things might have been different. I laughed out loud when I read it.... You know, I know cheaters. I have one very close to me. Although I believe cheaters do care for the person they are cheating on, I don't think they ever really consider anyone else's feelings. Their actions can affect so many more people than just the person they are with. It's a ripple effect, and sure eventually the ripples don't affect people as much but that is right before it hits the shore... So, anyone out there thinking of cheating... think about the people you love and who love you... how far will your ripples reach????
