- I am a mother and my children are the center of my world. I am also the author of a book entitled Cries of My Skeletons. It is a collection of poetry on love, desire, heart-break, abuse, inspiration, and betrayal.
CRIES OF MY SKELETONS
You overwhelm me with your grief
Your skeleton cries to be put to rest
They’ve found sanction in the grave
Yet, you won’t let them go because then-
Then you would be force to live
Live with so much guilt and shame
Guilt that was never yours from the start
But burned lasting reminders in your heart
How can you be free to love someone
When you find you can’t love yourself
How can you expect them to see
The things you don’t see in yourself
Your skeletons keep speaking
Yet they have no voice
Though you let their secret out
You are still bound by lost innocence
The thing that you will never regain
So you try to break free
You run to someone to unlock the chains
But your pain adds more locks
Though the keys of your heart you gave
Your skeleton holds the key to freedom
So you live in fear and bondage
Fear of releasing all the hurt
Fear of living and being hurt again
Your mind is a safe haven for confusion
You live life on the very edge
But it is alright for it’s by choice
And your recklessness gives you control
Yet deep down you want something real
Something that you can call your own
But somehow you feel you don’t deserve it
Your mind tells you that you are unclean
You feel spoiled and your beauty is tainted
Your skeleton cries because it longs for the grave
Yet it will forever haunt you until-
You lay it to rest and finally break free

Check out the Mystery of the Missing Checks
Monday, I'm over at my group blog, http://makeminemystery.blogspot.com/, where I'm blogging about the mystery of the missing checks. Come on over and find out what it's all about.Thanks,
Morgan Mandel
Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?
Helpless
Over the Holiday weekend I took a good look at my house and that familiar helples feeling washed over me again. It seemed like an insurmountable task to get the place in order. It still does.I spend so much time writing and promoting after I do my day job, what little time I have left is precious. Still, sometimes I just have to buckle down and ignore my compulsion to write and make myself clean house instead. I tackled the spare bedroom, which had clothes and all kinds of other articles strewn over the bed, on the floor, and anywhere you can think of, compliments of myself and the DH, who were equally guilty. I did make some headway, which made me feel good, but if I had more time I know I could do better. Also, there are so many other projects left to do if I were to get the house really into shape. I'm wondering how much I'll get done before Christmas, when I have my family over.
Maybe over the weekend I can get more done, that is, after I do the Illinois sales tax form first, which is due by the end of the month. I've got almost all of my check statements, except one, which I think I can find online, so maybe I can get that done. You may have guessed I'm not the most organized person in the world.
Anyway, let's see how far I can get cleaning up. I've got this kindle on loan from the library, with about 9 days left on it, and lots of good books on it beckoning to me. I've got some great ideas for stories I want to start and others I want to continue. I've got some blog buddies I haven't visited for a while. I wonder what will win out. (g)
What about you? What do you do about housework? Does it get in the way sometimes?
PS The not so surprising results are up on the left for my EZ poll. I'll have to do a harder one some time.
