2008

My friend and I were discussing the other night how you know something is going well when you are trying to pick someone up. I couldn't really give any pointers. When I play hockey and get a break away, I skate really fast with my head down and shoot with all might might praying that I score. Well that's pretty much the same way I go for a guy. If you've ever seen me play hockey you know I miss the net a lot so you know, my input wasn't very good. And apparently I just like to have a few drinks and hold hands anyways, because I'm cool like that. It's like grade 6 style.
So my friend tells me "You know if you start talking about the weather, that's it, you're not getting any" I burst out laughing and wrote the line down. I'll have to remember that.
So I realized that there are only TWO poems in 2008, and that's it! We only have one more year to go after that one. Here's to one of the times things went well after skating with my head down. Same sweet one as yesterday.
PS.. I would compare my love life to a hockey game, here's to 2008.

The leaves are changing colors
The air is turning cold
Everything around me is changing fast
Everything but me, who has no one to hold

I whisper my prayer to the lady in the moon
I whisper a prayer for you
When the sky is clear and her light shines all around
Maybe then you will let my love surround

When it rains I let it wash over me
Hoping to flood the memory of you away
But as I lay awake in my single bed
I know your face is in my head to stay

I wrap my arms around my lonely soul
And wish not to feel so blue
I will the thought of me to cross your mind
Hoping once again love is what you will find

The leaves around me are falling fast
The frost sparkles in the morning sun
I pray for a change of heart
Let you fall like the leaves or let me be done

Ode to my One True Love
Sweet silly girl
I should not get my hopes up
On something that feels so far away
Oh, but only if it were not
If only his fingers traced around my face
Brushing my curls away as I drifted off to sleep
I breath in his scent as I dream of him
If only his naked body was spooned with mine throughout the night
When he’d whisper random things about himself in my ear it makes me feel as if I have known him forever
Rather than one short month
If only we were still under the meteor shower on that cool summer night
When he drunkenly told me he loved me
I loved him before that
I still do
I long to once again make love on the kitchen floor with raw sensuality
If only I had followed my heart
Instead of protecting it
Then maybe those beautiful memories would not be all I have
Being a sweet silly girl
I look forward to making new memories
And falling in love all over again
With my one true love

Hmm, not my best but then we would only have one poems for 2008. I might have to fall in love or something soon so I can get some new material. LoL. No, I've got a couple things planned for after the poems are done. Until then,
