Bar None (Original Poem 2/28/12)

Bar None ~K.G.

A treasure not to be taken for granted.

You spurned and rejected all that you were handed.

A heart of light meets a heart of stone. 

Holding on to a past of pain you've only ever known.

Blind to the beauty of what is laid before you, 

Never tapping into the courage to push through.

Shaped by regret and selfish desires,

Boiling over into raging, untameable fires.

Effortlessly passing on all that you had attained

Showering me with rejection; continuous pain gained.

Was it that easy to put aside my feelings?

Hypocrisy at the heart of all your dealings.

But my heart will heal and I will give my love freely,

And as sure as the sun rises and sets, you will think of me.

Now that you realize I've raised the bar,

Have a nice life settling for sub-par. 

'Love Is...' (Original Poem 2/22)

Love Is... ~K.G. 

It is the breeze on your face that lingers and tickles your soul. 

It fills you from within like a dream made whole. 

It dances in the fresh dew of the early morn. 

It plays and laughs in light, never consumed with scorn. 

Full of passion, strength, and praise, 

It never ceases to shine throughout the night and days. 

I yearn for love's touch so pure and true; 

Wrapped in colors of warmth, a vivid hue. 

It dwells inside me and longs to break free,

Into the heart of the man who truly sees me. 

Only within the heart of the man so close to God to find, 

As it is written that 'Love is patient, Love is Kind'.

And it breathes into every lyric and every rhyme, 

So I am waiting for love to come in its own sweet time. 

The Heart of the Matter

Ready For Love ~India Arie

Words elude me...

'Truth and Daggers' (Original Poem 2/19)

People have ceased to amaze me.
Hidden agendas are worn like badges.
Straight answers are always jagged,
Lies permeate reality.
Truths hide behind skeletons in closets.
What is seen cannot be unseen
And disappointment is in the eye of the beholder.
Words released forever float in the ether.
Sentences bond together like traincars
Instantly spiraling your world off track.
What are you willing to believe?

Girl Scout Cookie Mania

Lays® chips have nothing on Girl Scout Cookies! You really cannot eat just one...box! This month hundreds to thousands of cookie orders will come in and purchases will be made at various Girl Scout booth locations. While in an effort to stay budget conscious this year and because I know if not forcefully stopped, I can make a ridiculous amount of Girl Scout Cookie purchases, I stumbled upon this treasure of Pepperidge Farm® Classic Favorites at Rite Aid. It was the only box in sight, and I thought it would be a delicious alternative, this year, to Girl Scout Cookie Mania (as I like to call it). I have not tried all of the Pepperidge Farm cookie varieties, so I cannot wait to dive in!
