I forget sometimes that I am beautiful
I guess cause at my age
it really doesn't matter to me.
But I was reminded today
when I was out walking and a truck
very courteously stopped and then backed up 
just to let me walk in front.

So then I think of you, and wonder
why you put me on ignore, 
after I comply with your 
send me another picture please.
I can't figure why you prefer a
glossy over the real me.

I need to be softly kissed, with your 
hand cradling the back of my neck.
I need to be pulled to you and
taken. I need a man 
who drives a Dodge truck
and has the RAM to back it up.

I love puppies, and I love my little one.
I like to drive my car, alone, and sing
to rock and roll.
I need to write out my heart so I
can heal from the past, post it 
for any to see, but only do so 
anonymously.

They say a picture is worth a
thousand words, so I guess you already
know all this.
I wonder though
when you stare deep
into my jpg's, if you know
what you are missing,
if you will even hear my
goodbye.

"I need to write out my heart so I

jellybeans, I sure hope that this person can see you for what your writing states - a very, honest, caring soul. Well done. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

thank you both...I really thought I didn't like this one, it is so nice to see it through someone else's eyes...I wouldn't have even posted it if it hadn't been for encouragement from someone who seems to think I have talent *grin* (thank you suthern)

There you go... stopping traffic again with those gorgeous gams!! *G* But what the driver doesn't know and the picture recipient doesn't appreciate is that the beauty of your body can't begin to compete with the loveliness of your heart. *S*

I really like this one, lady... on so many levels. So whaddaya mean I "think" you have talent???? Excuse me, I KNOW it! *G*

well lady, I know this one has attitude, and I should have written it beautiful on the inside...but I don't think it would have meant the same, so even if I don't feel beautiful most times, i can claim poetic liscense on this right?
and hey I can't stop you from thinking...*g*
just don't stop caring   love you lady
