Who I am

I am a mommy

I give never ending hugs and kisses

and my clothes are constantly dirty

My sanity is gone

and my love is free

I am a poet

I find inspiration in everything

and my mind is always creating

My words are my therapy

and my thoughts are free

I am a woman

I show kindness to all

and my heart has been broken

My independence is important

and my touch is free

I am one of a pair

I feel never ending fondness for my other half

and attraction to match

I am a lover and a friend

and my passion is free

I am a living soul

I breathe imagination

and show sensitivity to all

I am beautifully spectacular

and my emotion is free

A day in poetry

As I was laying in bed this morning, I thought it'd be cool to narrate the day with poetry. Haiku's and Cinquain's and what not. I really have no idea how this is going to turn out! Enjoy! xoxo

1)

Morning

Snuggly stretches

Coffee flavored sunshine

A fresh start begins

Daylight

2)

Time for breakfast

the kiddo's are hungry

and mommy's still tired

so bring on the coffee

The kids are loud

and the coffee is hot

and the baby's face

is covered in snot

Clean up the mess

Feed the kids

Cut up bananas

find cups with lids

Dishes and laundry

are calling your name

Doing all that on your day off

seems lame

Plug in a movie

for those babies of yours

Sit at the computer

and ignore all the chores

Waste a bunch of time

twittering away

In all honesty

that happens everyday

3)

Naptime for baby

Time for mommy to relax

Find extra patience

4)

Giggles and gossip

Younger version of myself

Her love doesn't judge

Big Sis and Lil Sis, best friends

Matching tattoos say it all

5)

Dear weight I have gained since quitting smoking

I deeply hate you and wish you'd disappear

Your presence on my body angers me

6)

Long day of awaiting your return

Obvious affection in our smiles

Vibrantly attracted to you

Elated to be in your arms

7)

Bedtime

Singing Angels

Jammies and Stories

Happy enough to sing

Silence

8)

the day has been done

and love has been shared

hugs given

and laughter for all

blessings are counted

as there was a time

where not all was so swell

times were harder

and laughter spare

blissful to enjoy

better days

9)

Beer

Golden Excellence

Foam is bad

Feels good going down

Brewski

10)

Moonlight is shining

Magnificent in beauty

Goodnight my sweet world

your mom

this poetic gem was suggested by @AllieGresham. She put a lot of thought into it. (xoxo)

a young woman

looks in the mirror

and doesn't understand

how she got here

In the background

is a baby crying

and as the young mom

stares at herself

trying to figure out

what her next move is

she too, starts crying

'I miss her'

she thinks out loud

'she would be here

helping me,

instead i'm alone'

she leaves the mirror

and goes to her newborn

and whispers in her ear

"my mom is not here,

but your mom is"

I am from laundry soap
from milk and honey
I am from the love
that sweetens all who are around it
I am from the daisies
The beautifully cheery tulips
whose long gone limbs I remember
as if they were my own.

I’m from prayer and hugs
from my mother and my grandmother
I’m from fireworks and Sunday breakfast
and from snuggles in bed.
I’m from use your manners and goodnight, I love you
and Families are Together Forever
I’m from weekend barbeque's in the park

I’m proudly from a place where hockey is a religion and from the land of Oktoberfest
Banana chocolate chip pancakes and carrot dish
From the time my sister hung off my shirt for 'fun'
and I threw her,
into the closet door, slicing her head open
to the collection of music my father took from my room
during the days before we left him

In a box, in the back of my closet
are the things I keep closely to my heart
pictures of newborns, teenage reminders, a collection of fashion inspiration
books to be read, and books that are cherished
journals from an angrier version of myself
I am from those moments
satisfying memories, and imperfect memories
have shaped my individuality
They are where I am from

Love (2nd time posted)

Today is my man's birthday!! I wrote this a few months ago but decided to repost it for the occasion!!

It's the end of the day

and we're wrapped up in each other

Everything is dark and silent

while we breath the same air

This dizzy cloud of bliss

has been longed for

All the hardships of today were worth it,

for this moment.

I'd be content to stay here forever

to ignore all other elements

of our busy hectic lives

Fascination, admiration, exhilaration,

a sense of euphoria is what you do to me

This is what I've been waiting for

what I've wanted,

what I've needed

Love

a boy and a girl.

a boy and a girl

want it to work

but don't know how

so they go their separate ways

to see what happens

life

hands them difficulties

fate

continuously unites them

increasing their confusion

of do, or don't

of stay, or run

and as time goes on

and thoughts are thought

the boy and the girl

recognize

the never ending attraction

that continuously unites them

so they make a deal

to do life

and love

together

and take one day at a time

and see what happens

and she smiled as the tears flowed

Suggested by @canyonwalker

the stars are shining

and the moon is out

the last few moments

have been used for reflection

she lays in the middle of a field

hidden by tall grass

and from the rest of civilization

wondering what the next step will be

she smiles as the tears flow

of course she'll conquer

that's what she does
