THIS IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY


This Is All I Have To Say 

I'm home alone thinking to my self about 
Life, 
I do not know why stars fill the night sky, 
or how rainbows gain their color. 
I can see God has a good sense of humor 
Love is something I always wanted to know 
Why we love and let go of it , 
Others say they 
Or lonely and they would doing anything to 
have love in their life, That has a way that  
makes tears come to my eyes, 
I cannot explain why I started miss you, 
It's cold out side,and my mind starts to go 
back in time ,When you were in my life and  
I could say you were mine at that time, 
Oh how it put a smile on my face for the moment, 
But with time I realized we never really say anything at all. 
We lost that ''Spark'' in eachother's eyes, 
I have never been to Paris or Rome 
or cities that seem to matter to those that claim to know. 
I have never swam in an ocean other than my own. 
sometimes I think I see your face in my dreams looking 
back at me wanting to say you are sorry for the pain you gave, 
or at a bookstore in an empty poetry section. 
I start wanting to write about you how my heart is lonely with 
out you but life is not fare at times, 
Not to a lonely hearts as mine, 
sometimes the silence of morning brings back memories 
you should have been in. 
sometimes I stand at the edge of the

''Salton Sea'' and watch birds lift in flight. 
Just like my ''Father'' when he died! 
I do not know trigonometry, or organic chemistry. 
I cannot fly an airplane or dance a'' tango'',or remember

''Shakespeare’s'' sonnets. 
But I do love the story of'' Romeo and Juleit'',  
I am really just A lonely ''Poet'' writing a

''Poem'' of time, when that one comes 
to mind,I start to make a rhyme of my blues of you, 
I cannot explain my humor, except it hides all my pain. 
But with time I will write a 'poem'

with your name on it ,But for now I must 
move on and call this It and go home to see brighter days  
that all I have To say.

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
