Me-Myself&I's tags:
An empty shell where a person stood.
Blank eyes hidden by a shadowy hood.
 
Mouth frozen as the hardest of stone.
Mind numbed by a pain that cuts to the bone.
 
Bloody heart, toren and ripped.
Icy cold fingers, now have a tight grip.
 
Inner feelings open lay.
The innocent, always the one to pay.
 
Tender emotions sorely raw.
Life's last breath ready to draw.
 
Stop! ... and think on the words your mouth does spill,
unkind words, like a bullet can kill.                                        by ~ BJ
 
 
This was written by my very good friend, Barbara Jean. She wrote this in 1978. It is just one of the hundreds she has. She puts these poems and short stories to the pictures that she draws. She is amazing, her talents go unnotice by the "pubic". Not by all the folks who love her handmade cards. These wonderful words and drawings of hers are the best of the best gifts in life. You can always depend on Barb, on any one holiday or birthday, you will be getting a masterpiece that she made just for you. *smile*
 
I just wanted to share this one with you all. It fits, don't you know!
hugs and kisses. have a great weekend. take care ~see ya

    monday i went back to the old homestead in southern il. needed a break, don't you know?! lol....i just love the hills and waterways there. anyway, barb and i went exploring monday and worshiped the ground we walked on. *smile*  it was a wonderful, refreshing day. she gave me her notebook of poems and short stories to read. for the past few nights, i'll get the notebook out and read for awhile.... i'm glad and lucky i have such a loving, creative friend.
     
    that why my mood was so much better....after the weekend. heck, we grew up together.
     
    anyway, yup, that would be great to draw and write such pretty stuff. me, i love to garden. that's what i'm good at. planting a seed and watching it grow. *smile*

             Your friend Barbara Jean must be alot like my sister Anne. My sister used to always write poems and draw pictures back in the day. Not long ago while fooling around in my attic I came across a box that contained one of her notebooks of poems she had written. The next time I go to the west coast I'll take the notebook with me and I'll give it to her. She'll probably freak out and be happy to have it back. But between you and I . . . I doubt if anything in there would ever be published.   I have'nt forgotten the poem I promised you. I just have to find the time and be in the right mood.    But remember I'm no poet and I know it. But I'll give it a shot.  Good night Me-Myself&I and sleep tight as opposed to Good night and sleep loose?  ;0)   I never could figure that one out.

    Hey Meme, I read your last post and it looks like someone gave you a hard time there and I suppose this that you posted today was a result of that?
     
    Let me tell you something about people, most of us are kind of heart and wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone, especially someone who was already hurting.
     
    However, lurking in the shadows there are a few, just a few who in the light of day have no courage. From safely behind their computer screens they will try to stab and gouge and rip at the flesh of those they don't even know. Why? Because they lead small, sad, pathetic lives.
     
    Somewhere along the path of life they were hurt and they haven't the wherewithal to heal. They want to reduce others to their sorry retched condition. They don't know how to lift themselves up, so they attempt to bring others down, this makes them feel powerful within their pathetic, tormented, souless minds.
     
    From what I read andora is such a person and if I were a betting man (I am) I would bet this is an alt name for another sorry pile of human waste that has been here for a much longer while.
     
    My advice to you Meme is this; block this pathetic piece of shit, he isn't worth a moment of your time or thoughts. You know who you are and from what I have seen you are a very good and kind person. Make your skin thick enough to withstand the slings and arrows of these online purveyors of squat and dung.
     
    Too many good people here (yourself included) to let a cockroach ruin a second of your time.......Just my opinion Meme

  • hotaka said on Sep 27, 2008....
    It's a lovely poem. But what do you mean by "her talents go unnoticed by the pubic"? Where were you expecting her to put these poems? Or was this an influence of mobil's tent-in-pants poem?
  • quietone said on Sep 27, 2008....
    I would love to see her drawings as well Memy... you are just going to have to break down and get a digital!  ya know???  I'd love to see more of ya!  Yes, your friend has great talent.  thanks for sharing.

    Travelr ~ Thank you, what a very nice thing to say! *smile* ....watch it, you may need a mower soon!

    Cayenne ~ BJ drew a picture on a piece of cardboard while we sat on a picnic table at Glen O Jones, a beatuiful lake, in the middle of the hills. with an ink pen, it's a picture of two little girls playing in the mud, making mudpies. *smile* it only took her just alittle while and *smile* i have that ink picture on my desk. i swore to her that at least once a month i'd be home to see her. that when she gave me her notebook to read, only IF i bring it back. so, yup, you give that notebook back to your sis. she will be very happy, or at least call her and tell her you have it. folks like them cherish those notebooks. Good morning! Thanks for your visit. x

    Mobil ~ i DID learn a valuable lesson, folks that talk such hate are sad souls. i live with one everyday of my life. i swear, i tell the truth....just right before i started typing this to you, we were talking about watching what comes out of the mouth. (he was doing his normal bitching) anyway, i told him to go talk to the backyard, i did not want to listen to it. NOW my next lesson to learn.... learn to not listen, to tune out such bullshit! i am a trying! *smile* by nature i am a very joyful soul. you are an amazing soul. thanks hon. you are correct, no one is going to "rain on my parade"  take care

    RollingC ~ so are you!!!! *smile* thanks for stopping by. it's nice to see you.

    Hotaka ~ she is a dirt poor soul, from a dirt poor raisings. she would love to be noticed, published, listened too. so, i'll be her messenger. *smile* and sing her praise. LOL.... the tent poem, hey....that dirty old man is something else, ain't he?!  thanks for stopping by.

    Quietone ~ hell, you'll have to come here and take the pictures.... i'm no good at it. *smile* one way to get you down here for a visit! ;~)x love to you my friend, thanks

  • Me-Myself&I said on Sep 27, 2008....
    ALL OF YOUR WORDS, SUPPORT HAS FED MY SOUL, STRENGTHENED ME.
    not just lately but you all have for about 18 mos. *smile* i owe you all my sanity. *smile* higs and kisses!
  • secretlife said on Sep 27, 2008....
    your friend sounds so special memy- i'm glad you have a place to escape to.
     
    i have to agree with my friend mobil on why it is that people feel it is their right to say whatever they think without thought for how those words might hurt someone and why they think their "truth" is the only truth....and why they think they get to judge people they don't even know-
    the answer really is that they're lashing out at themselves, and are so miserable they can only feel better if everything they come in contact with is miserable too.
     
    the best revenge is smiling thru it-  i saw you trying to do just that responding to andora's mean comment the other day, but she's too blind to even see. 
     
    one bad apple can't spoil the whole bunch.
    and you have many friends here.

  • travelr712 said on Sep 27, 2008....
    this 'anonymous' is actually lemon_party, an alt that somebody created today. i'm guessing mobil. they're putting this song on every post they find so we can all enjoy.
  • secretlife said on Sep 27, 2008....
    trav, this isn't something mobil would do.
     
  • destinydiva said on Sep 27, 2008....

    Secret ~ Thank you, sigh....you all have shown me, taught me, given me insight.... things i forgot. hell.... feelings i forgot. my desire to find this "peace of mind" and all that goes with it....it's no easy journey! i am deprograming myself. *smile* Blessed Be! mind over matter thingy going down here lol take care

    Anony ~ that was interesting! giggling....wonderful sites to see, i just love christmas music.... it warms my....soul! *smile*

    Travelr ~ lol.... if it's Mobil, it's because he thought up that "tent" poem. lol.... he has a one track mind, don't you know!

    Secret ~ me neither, he wouldn't post it anonymously.

    Destiny ~ i loved it too. she gave me this notebook and they are listed/numbered in the front. my # in life is 4. most everything runs in 4s in my life. lord help me! anyway..... soooo i go to poem 4, this is it! weird huh *smile*  thanks for coming by. (hug) x

    Thanks! ~see ya

  • travelr712 said on Sep 27, 2008....
    that's what i was thinking memy, but after i saw all the crude tags on the front page blogs, i'd have to agree with secret, he keeps this sort of thing to his own blog, it's not his style.

    Battycat ~ hello my friend. just been roaming around SC neighborhood. haven't been saying much, just reading and thinking. *smile* i'm working alot and "taking care of business" these days. it seems the only time i can really talk up a storm is on the weekends. in the evenings i'm so tired that just being still and reading helps calm me down enough to go to sleep. and it that time for me too.lol.... it's storming anyway ....need to shut this machine down....computer and myself. *smile* so thank you for coming by. (hug) nice to ALWAYS see you! take care ~see ya
