My Poem
The Sad Nomad
I sit alone in darkened room.
Empty house saddens me.
Just days ago we gathered here
communing joyously.
The Ryder came today and moved
My friend’s stuff, all away.
Putting life in boxes, packing.
Why can’t we all just stay?
Life moves forward—to the next house.
New bedrooms to make ours.
The future is today—now—
We must pick our flowers
Uprooted, and onward to home.
Roommates and friends no more?
Destined to be acquaintances?
Are we shutting these doors
To our past? Growing up too fast?
My stuff is so battered.
Each upheaval, something
Is lost; books, clothes—tattered.
And like these material things,
My inside space is torn
With each sad parting and goodbye.
I’ll decorate—and mourn.
Fall, 2000 Boone, NC

My 2 Cents
| bfaulkner's recent Blog entry. | Blah and bleh, clues to my blues ( 66 reads) | Thursday, November 12, 2009 (22:24:12) |
| It rained yesterday. It was gray. It was cold. I was off work for Veteran's Day. I should have been joyous, but I felt the Plath bearing down on me. When I read her unabridged journals, I thought, "What the hell does this woman have to be so sad about? Just get over yourself!" However, now that I have so recently been overhwelmingly sad for no good reason, I realize what a feat it is that she could write at all and her descriptions of how she felt were so apt. I felt so down that I couldn't write at all. I wanted to, but I can't go to the page with my negativity, which is why I go for so long without writing at times. I have the hardest time being honest with myself and writing in my journal requires that. I spent yesterday sleeping and weeping and feeling like a loser for setting such a bad example for my children. But I just couldn't dig myself out of the doldroms. I felt like some huge monster was sitting on my chest--cataclysmic--and I literally did not have the energy to move. Here is the one thing I did manage to write before I gave in to my despair and took some Nyquil: Sometimes when I'm egotistical I feel phenomenal-- phenomonal woman-- but now there's rain in my soul, this dampness that molds ruining all the good things. Just a small gem, but I hope it captures that mood swing that overcame me. B | ||

Ocean of Love
Ocean of Love
Love is like an ocean—
never ending and depths unknown.
Love is like an ocean—
natural & calm,
yet full of unharnessed passion..
Love is like an ocean—
beautiful, yet dangerous.
Love is like an ocean—
sandy shores,
turbulent tides
Love is like an ocean—
wielding happiness & joy,
calmness & serenity.
Oh, love is like an ocean.
Won’t you join me for a swim?
Lenoir, NC 1996
(I was a junior in hs when I wrote this, so please don't be too harsh!)
