Just sayin.....

This poem is the direct result of my evening with my mother. I'm laughing still....



perhaps i should've let you know
that when awake, i'm usually intolerant
easily frustrated, and very often so
i'm lazy in my eagerness
slighted with your ignorance
and frankly quite uninterested
waiting for you to go

but when i'm sleeping peacefully
i'll love you unconditionally
with dreamful moans amusingly
i'll charm you to your bones
i'll hold you close and honestly
my warmth until you fall asleep
synching my breath and heartbeat
so easily to yours

i should've let you know my dear
that maybe its a better deal
if we leave words on doorsteps
and dinners with your close friends
can be saved for someone
who has a patient ear

i have to let you know my love
it's better when it's not enough
and love is so much easier
when it's not yours to take

perhaps it's time i make it clear
before you shed another tear
don't leave me notes or hand picked flowers
leave happiness to darker hours
