Today's Song

Today's Song
by Marsha Marie
childhood memories
cards of chance
young puppy love 
yellow locks 
gunshots ring out
devastation for me
your voice asking where
forever in my ear

 dirt love play
school everyday
dark backseat 
innocence complete
teenage love 
a new dawn begins
the sky changes color
my chest beating no end

 pledge undying love in a song
a songbird i came along
our names entangled making love on the page
but life had other plans to engage

 a fatal decision
a park a catalyst of non-bliss 
my love betrayed you
my eyes gone adrift
never forgotten your name
i live now only with shame
i wonder what might have been 

 but in silence i sit
i dream
i care

 the long road now holds his hand
the moon calls his name
haunted of my tune long gone
my heart disfigured with pain
loneliness i eat
regret my choice of drink
alone forever i'll stay

 your voice a feather passing by
your laugh
a reason i cry
pass me a smile
tease me today
longing for the ring imagined

 oh you just know 
our hearts still tethered
a cancer uncured
goodbye today
this veil i shall forever endure

The Knock

The Knock  by Marsha Marie I hear a knock at the door.  I roll my eyes. Another solicitor, I thought. I gently look thru the peephole and see no one there.  But I hear a whisper.  Open. Open.  Who are you? I say. I need nothing today.  Open. Open. The whisper increases.  Look inside and you will know who I am.   No. No. I want nothing today. ....Well, maybe just a touch. Just a feeling of warmth against my body. But you cannot. I cannot.  Open. Open. The whisper snickers. You invited me over. Why else would I have come? I wonder who I so unknowingly beckoned? Is it my lover that I have been longing for? Open. Open and find out.  I stretch out my hand and turn the nob. My heart is racing. I open the door just enough to peek. His scent rushes in as a whirl and envelops me, and I begin to fall.  Deeper and deeper. A sensual purple dances around me. The whisper booms thru my body and my heart saying: I am here. I love you. I will never...

Poem: Homeless, with a Roof Over my Head, by Marsha Marie

Homeless, with a Roof Over my Head by Marsha Marie I came home thinking it was the right thing to do. But lost and outcast, I try to fit in. This is not my home anymore. I am homeless, with a roof over my head. No love, no friends, no way to save. The past are but pictures in my head and heart. Memories of dreams come true, will this illusion end? Will I ever have my life? Someone who cares? When I die, will only my children morn? Like a bird in the heat looking for refuge, a morsel, I walk the streets of my childhood. Torn between two worlds. Looking for solace. Envious of those around me with lavish homes and travels, I wonder--- are they really happy? or is it just an illusion too? Satisfied today--hungry again tomorrow. Marching in step with the masses. Government control--dictating our likes and fears........Aren't we all, just Homeless with roofs over our heads?
