I don’t want you anymore
Go head
Walk through them doors
Don’t flatter yourself hun
The feelings I had for you are now in the land of by gones!
So you think I can’t move on without you?
If only you knew
How my ability to overcome obstacles has been tested
And I have passed with flying colours
Because I have overcome you!
Seven years and what have we to show?
Arguments
Discontentment
Frustration
Misconceptions
Glimpses of enjoyments
Hints of uncomplicated love
And never ending questions like
How come there’s no more fun?

When I tell that I want us to be intimate
Why do you always interpret that to mean that I want sex?
When I tell you that I don’t want to go out but want to relax at home
Why do you say that it’s just my time of the month concluding that I’m just vexed?
When I share the idea of us going out for a meal,
Why do you always think I’m saying you must pay?
When I tell you that I am going away for the weekend
Why can’t you understand that a weekend
Actually means more than just one day?
When I tell that I was just talking to a friend on the phone,
Why do you want to know if it’s a He or a She?
When I tell you that I Love You
Why do you always respond with……really?
You see
I’m a woman who is not motivated by materialistic things
So it’s not what you have but who you are that’s important to me
I didn’t ask for anything that I wasn’t prepared to give myself
I held no expectations concerning your economical position
But instead decided that happiness was gonna be my currency like money is for wealth
So what these questions slowly started to reveal
You have some real issues going on honey
That can be summed up in just one word…..
INSECURITY
But some folks go as far as saying, it's just your stupidity!ELITHA©2005
IT COULD HAVE BEEN
IT MUST HAVE BEEN
I KNOW IT WAS YOU
NOW DON’T TELL ME LIES
I KNOW IT’S NOT TRUE
SO WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY
WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE
LOOK I DON’T WANT TO LISTEN
THIS PHONE’S GOING DOWN!
GIVE ME ONE REASON
WHY I SHOULD STAY?
WHAT?
DON’T LET EMOTIONS GET IN THE WAY!
YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT
ON THAT WARM AND SUNNY DAY
WHEN YOUR MARS CLASHED WITH HER VENUS
AND MANIFESTED ITSELF INTO
AN EROTIC EMBRACE
THAT YOU JUST COULDN’T RESIST!
NO MY DARLING
THIS IS NO LOVER’S TIFF
JUST A WARNING SIGN LETTING ME KNOW
THAT LOVE’S ON THE TRAIN
THAT I HAVE JUST MISSED!
SEE YA

I SPOKE HE WROTE
AS I RECOUNTED ALL THE WRONGS YOU HAD DONE TO ME
HE WROTE AS I SPOKE
THEN WENT THROUGH MY OPTIONS
FROM A-Z
HE SPOKE AND I WROTE
AND EVENTUALLY AGREED TO SIGN THE DECREE NISSI
AND JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO SIGN
ACROSS THE DOTTED LINE
YOU ENTERED IN
AND STOPPED ME!

I wrote this poem specifically to be sent as a text message to a mobile phone. This was sent to my Beloved.
I WAS CREATED FOR YOU
LIKE A MELODY TO A TUNE
IT SOUNDS RIGHT
FEELS RIGHT
AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME
THE MUSIC BEGINS TO FADE
AND A STILL SMALL VOICE SAYS………..
I CREATED YOU FOR HIM

Write to live
Write to release positive and negative energy
Write or else I will not
Be able to give
Myself Time...
Time to reflect
Inspect
And not forget
This heart of mine
So....
I begin to put pen to paper
And fashion and form the words
I must eventually speak.

It was more a meeting of two minds
Than two hearts
Complex though they were
They still had the ability to extract from their conversation
The finer things of life
He personified excitement, perseverance, purpose and sheer fun
Her resilience of character and fortitude
Signified their journey has just begun
Each carrying no expectations
But together constructing a building
Depicting their histories both with stories to tell
Revealing personal details without casting any spells
At the end with unspoken words
And dispositions full of smiles
They knew in the end that this meeting was
Worth while!

Dear God,
I’m writing in hope that you might hear,
My inner turmoil screaming,
Get me out of here!
Decisions, indecisions,
Tears and fears befriend me,
Caress me,
Like friends we hold onto dear,
Questions, answers, directions,
Not sure where to go,
And at this particular stage of my journey,
The road sign says,
GO SLOW!
Hang ups, put downs,
Love found and then lost,
Then found again,
Depression lurking around the corner,
God when will this all end?
Save me from the darkness,
Covering me like a warm and comfy quilt,
Save me from my yearnings,
Like toffee apples,
But instead of toffee it’s covered in guilt,
Loser, user,
Producer of all that could have been,
Oh Lord, please save me,
From this pain resurfacing,
I guess this a pray,
With no pretty words to convey
But like the great poet said,
Just say what you gotta say,
Save Me From My Life!
