Clemens 2012 When and How Dreaming our meeting Into the now Eagerly awaiting The when and how Do I know your name? Where your heart resides? Have you kept it tucked away? So lonely it hides I almost feel your breath, Though we have never quite met The smell of your skin, The lure of your scent Fate will find us together, In the same place in time Once I find you, my love, Into your arms I will climb *** (c)Clarissa O. Clemens 2013 Loving Myself First Fluttery feeling Fading fast Holding onto dreams You thought would last Slipping away only to betray The trust you had invested Had failed after tested What we had once called 'us' Became empty and ambiguous The 'we' became me The bond was forever gone The 'you' went astray My broken heart on display Alone in my loneliness Finding strength From my coldness Anger helps to heal Erase the numbness so I can feel Direct my life with new meaning Moving ahead done with grieving Opportunities await my future state Ready to create and contemplate Who I am and who I want to be Loving myself first To truly set myself free *** (c)Clarissa O.
