Walk with Me

Walk tall

Even though my heart sinks

With thoughts of you

I keep above it all

Keep looking forward

Don’t let the dream die

It has a life of its own…anyway

Despite its foes

People will try to pull you down

Don’t let them

Don’t fade in the shadows…

Where they want you to disappear 

Stay in the light

Surround yourself with light

You will see a new day

A step above everything else

Everyone now

Fades shorter, smaller…drifts

Stand tall

In spite of yesterday’s presence 

Today, I walk with you

Lifting you higher

To a new day

Above the past

I’m walking beside you

I’m here

Poison Ivy

You look harmless

When I see you

Maybe even helpful

But what you project is not what’s inside

The effects of you last and linger way too long

It eats away to the core of my being!

Poison Ivy, I thought you were honest

I believed the lies you told me

I wanted to believe that there was something inside that was good

I wanted to believe that you had good intentions towards me

Of course that was never true!

I see I need to stay away!

You irritate me for weeks on end

You cut through my skin with no mercy

No feeling- no reason -no purpose!

You spread your envy and hate to so many parts of me

You have nothing to do

No purpose but to spread your venom to the next innocent passerby

To anyone who dares to get close to you!

Poison Ivy, I was a fool to come near you 

Please release me-

Finally let me go!

I hope I never see the likes of you again!

I don’t even wish you another prey

I hope that your malice just comes back to you
