The Susanator - poetry about susan

First Steps



The curtain's closed on our first act

the page has turned,the score has changed

and on our route the benchmarks point

away from things that caused us pain



Awake each day to new beginnings

turn away from used to be's

Focus on the time that's left us

Happier now with what we see



Together for the time remaining

sharing life as day by day

our love filled hearts are more sustaining

with lives now lived no other way



Lifetimes spent to find the other

And mountains climbed to reach their side

with vistas reaching there before us

We always knew that we'd arrive



New journies will be done together

miles to go, we'll walk in grace

that holds us safe from troubled waters

our meaning found in our embrace

The Susanator



Where in the world 

did she come from?

sheltered from the world

kept in recluse

suddenly she was among us

The Susanator, lean and graceful

extra extra small with big while teeth

and the smile to match



The Susanator is nimble

front flipping on her trampoline

with so much ease

early to rise, and early to bed

and much too good in your bed 

when she's there

a whirlwind in the kitchen

like the Tasmanian devil

whipping up banana bread

so you can see how easy it is



The Susanator sweeps into a room

and the eyeballs start to roll

or pop depending on the gender

Shes too thin, too happy

too smart, too atheletic

too good a mother, too efficient

just too damned good to be true



The Susanator will affect 

everything she sees with her

well presented heads up screen

she'll choose...

"have a great day" or 

"hellooooooo" and smile



And in the drive through, 

rolling her stops 

to the beat of a differnt bongo

music pumping too loud and too hip

too much, too much, too much



SO Who will love the Susanator?

who can keep up with her?

and her sweaty workout highs

and her500 calorie runs

lessor mortals fear to tread

for perfection is never sweet

only bitter

Since it can rarely be so well

attained



You can't beat the Susanator

at her own game

you can only play your own 

and hope she'll come along

and if she does..

you'll be a happy man

Jealousy



The wild heart cries out like a lone wolf

howling at the moon of an ancient sky

feelings rise from their shallow graves 

haunting smug veneer and inner peace

disturbing now what was sheltered then

in empty caves - with groceries delivered

never safe from rivals or unfaithfulness

we're born vigilant and a stones throw away



The mind reels at what was old and is new again

an inexplicable flush of green envy

from deep hearts well - in an oasis from flatness

anxious concerns about losing something real

never happy alone - never free from need

bathed in fear and trepidation

it thinks, it ponders, it rationalizes until

there is relief in balance, if nothing else

as life goes on



If that shone like a beacon, clear to all

free from apprehensive darkness, 

unencumbered by dangerous hidden meanings 

warped thoughts would straighten in natural light

and comfort us by the kind deeds it revealed

so modern animals - humans

soothed by the day's touch and warmth

would be left undistracted 

by the possibilities or probabilities

or awareness of irresistable forces 

and immovable objects

found in deep memories of ancient skies

and be left, once again happy, in love

Knots



Impure thoughts, may sweep in and take us

Far far away, from our goals

And our dreams, take lessor status

letting passions grow more cold



But we're not living lives in endless little circles

and we aren't going to be stopped by such bonds of little purpose

Just take a deep breath and let go

Its not the doubts that hold us but ourselves you know



Gordian knots are how we make them

that tie us up and tie us down

And so it seems that we can't break them

giving up, too easily



But we're not going to live our lives in quiet desperation

Weíll pick ourselves right up off the ground and look for inspiration

Take first steps and then go

Until we do, weíll never know



Knots are tied but we can shake them

Silver cords canít hold us down

And those doubts wonít overtake us

Because our love has grown too strong



The future in store for us will be a thing of beauty

Each morning that we wake up will remind us of our duty

To live life to its fullest, and give love to each other

And thatís what bonds us together, away from knots that bind

Or Limits set by tethers

Time Traveling



time travels back and forth

messing with our minds

but no one knows 

the time or place

only remembered moments

powerful when recalled 

cause us to wince

and relive flashes of reality

what was seen

what was felt

existing now as we existed then

may die when we die

or like leather clad

books on a musty shelf

cling to the knowledge 

without its power, 

preserving a memory 

without consequence

free from guilt

Between Us 



Things between us cannot be seen, nor can they be heard 



No dangerous words too hot in frigid lands 



like gental touching - skin on skin by urgent longing hands 



Or voices that beseech us in a dimly lit recess 



encouraging our lips and tongue to places never guessed 



Things between us cannot be seen or heard 



unseen - the redness, unfelt the wetness 



of swollen parts that ache and crave their desperate release 



unheard gasping bodies lying blissful once they're spent 



Unread minds, not of this world - ecstatic, heaven sent 



those things that come are between us, unknown 



and too powerful for mated souls 



unknown musk beneath a moon soaked in sultry sounding jazz 



unspeakable candlelit moments which dare to be cried out 



As they are between us and no one else 



Stripped of daily burdens - painful memories are obscured 



by love and lust imagined - then unknown, by us procured

When the lights go down

 

Close your eyes my love

when the lights go down

see only what you can remember

Bright like the desert sand 

see me 'cause I can see 

only you

 

Hold me tight my love

when the lights go down

feel your heart and you will remember

wonderful days

Holding me, like I'm holding you

in love forever

 

 

Kiss me my love

when the lights go down

with love like no other remembered

just wonderful ways

spent loving each day

of our lives in love together

Gatineau Love
 
Between us the past - 
warmed back to back in the fireside light
sharing a mat on our lac phillip night
We shivered and smiled with Coq au Vin wafting
while warming our souls with cool red wine
each crackle and cackle cemented the moment 
to the icey crisps underfoot
with steady conspicuously knowing smiles 
we watched the moonshadows stretch over eerie snow
'twas no better place nor time for yet one more story 
which began in Gatineau's glory 
with skiis, and snowshoe delights
just two friends finding friends 
and a partner for life
 kayaky*********Have a Nice Day**********
