I words
Maddy Oct 2023
Two I can do without but they are out there
Ignorant and Imbecile
Preferences are idealistic, iconic, imaginative, incredible, innovative,
impressive, inspiring, and intuitive.
I words.
As for the first two, we know to whom they apply.

Forward March
Maddy Nov 2018
Archie Bunker still exists
in his yesterday
Old school just can't deal with new school
Balance the two together and we move forward
Which is were we all need to be
That said you must vote
If you don't then don't complain
Yesterday is gone
Forward March towards a fruitful tomorrow
Enjoy and cherish today
Be kind and give it your very best

Morning Hugs
Maddy Jun 2024
Morning hugs
That is how we start the day
Wouldn’t have it any other the way
Sometimes lingers way past noon
Others sing another tune
Dreaming in your arms
Knowing all your charms
Morning hugs
Morning hugs

Tired of being awakened by what used to be
Past hasn't always been  a friend
Still trying to learn how to put it way behind me
Hopefully moving forward
Stand tall and enlighten the world
When your mind awakens your heart and soul in the wee hours of the morning
The two steps back and one  step forward isnt a recipe for everybody
Changing the game and making a difference
Illuminate every moment
Now and forever
Play a more positive and active role for a reflective you

The very best
Maddy Apr 2022
It has only been you
Not for lack of interest but their platonic pledges
They never saw me just air brushed beauty in the media
Never thought love would find me
Never thought it was deserved or out there
Out if the blue when the search ended
You found me
So stop looking and the very best will come to call
Forty three years ago in September
The very best came into my life
Married 42 years this coming October
My treasure and joy

Hand in hand with you is where I want to be

RBG
Your loss will teach us what is at stake
Little girls and women will embrace your wisdom,grace and impact.
She knew a greater truth and lived it
Learning when to speak and not to do so
Being what you want to be and going after it
All children should have that opportunity
As a Brooklyn born girl,hopefully she will remain an icon and beacon for our future because too many people live in the past
Which means they fear any type of change

Fond next time
Maddy Jul 24
Not saying goodbye or farewell just yet
Fifty year friendships should be treaured
Alas there is tarnish and strange vibes around it now
Calls are lessened and get togethers far and few between
When next time comes play it by ear?
We will see how it goes
Drastic change so hard to know you
Who are you?
You are unrecognizable
Not sure that I want to continue this
Fond next time

In time
Maddy Jan 2020
you'll be  private smile on a raw day
your words will echo warmly like a trusted well-worn blanket in need of a replacement
you don't have the heart to do that, do you?
The laughter will soothe a rainy dreary day
all the bad memories will be moments we should have never wasted
your place will be scrap booked  with photographs and montages
our time will never be again
we wont wonder why Hello became good bye
In time

Decline
Maddy Dec 2020
He is slowly losing what makes him special
He has not met him yet
His loneliness is strangling his joy
He has so much to share but a friend cant give him what he wants or needs
Not for them to do so
Wish magic could conjure up a spell to end this for him
He deserves so much more and decline is not a place for him to be
Maybe when he stops looking he will find him and make each other happy
If we could put the answers in a beautifully decorated box wand deliver it we would
You dont need or want codependent types fixing things for you

C@rainbowchaser2020
You love who you love and your friends want you to be happy

December sun
Maddy Dec 2019
She is as bright as she can be
Her days are short though her spirit stronger
Her shadows remind us that longer days will come
Her sister May will bring sunny days and beautiful sunsets
Though we wish she were longer
Her temperatures warmer
She brings families and friends together to celebrate
Love and Joy.
May I wish all of you those two glorious things all year through.

Born this way
Maddy Jan 2020
You loved words
You loved books
You write like an angel
Looking for a better way
You were a highly sensitive person
Who was bullied and destroyed
You ended that torture by throwing yourself into an on coming bus
You jumped off the Verrazano narrows bridge
You were not born to end it this way
Rest In Peace

Sorry Greece
Maddy Aug 2021
My friend told me we hurt Mother Nature and are paying Dearly for how we treat her
He is still the Professor and I am forever his student
He is right and thinking back to those who take a stand for her and took stands for
Where do we go from here?
Sorry California
Sorry Greece
You fooled with Mother Nature and you need to stop talking about it and fix it
Sorry

More than words
Maddy Nov 2019
We love them
Befriend them
Polish and edit them
Hug them when the world does not get it
Sometimes that is not the point
Somehow they always do
They protect us and understand what others fail to comprehend
More than words
Little gems and lovely facets

Lovely Day
Maddy Jul 22
Brody the Collie came by to say Hello
He received a pat on the head and was petted .
A couple of monarch butterflies flew near me
Those above saying Hello?
The humidity calmed down for a gem of a day
The giant lemon tree shone a brilliant yellow
Standing in the center of the Garden in the Art museum
So many flocked to see this little beauty by the park
Exquisite delight it is with beautiful weather
Lovely day

Great grandma
Maddy Dec 2020
we never knew all five feet tall of you
the stories older cousins shared made you come alive once
more
until recently we didn't know of them
we are cousins of cousins
you were the little old lady in black in a photo album
albeit my parent's wedding album
then you emerged in photos shared that we had never seen before
someday the entire story will be told
For now we have second and third cousins because you had nine children
One of which was my grandmother
My father never spoke of you but the others are letting me know you through their memories

They will never know
Maddy Nov 2019
They threw caution to the wind
Where do you start or even begin
They stomped on people’s hearts and minds
They forget about today and tomorrow
Leaving yesterday behind
Being genuine,kind, and true
Just words they never lived or knew
They will never know what reality is
They live in reruns
Not the ones on Me TV
The ones they create for themselves

November girls
Maddy Nov 2021
We begin the holiday season
Sometimes a second thought
Some more likely an endless party and celebration
She is careful and would do anything not to hurt any living soul
She knows hurt too well
Creative,fearless,and lover of art and culture
She travels and journeys no matter her destination
She is sensitive, caring, and loving.
A human care bear if you will
Be careful not to hurt or break her heart
She may forgive you but will never forget
She is a Scorpio
November girls
Happy Birthday to all of us

Continues to be
Just you and me
I swear
You will always get my Love, devotion, and care
I swear

OLD FRIENDS
Maddy Oct 2021
Old friends
Book ends
Part of yesterday
Unclear about today
Let's not discuss tomorrow
Phone calls stop
Not even to shoot the breeze
News Bad or Good is a thing of the past
Nothing left to say or share
Did we remember to care?
When the efforts made get lost
Leave the door open perhaps a ajar
What used to be no longer goes very far

Only yesterday
Maddy Jan 2022
Undergraduates searching for a major
Finding friends and lovers like a menu they can’t choose from
Though they delight in looking
Should they sample or taste?
Do they commit is daring passion worth the risk
Sometimes you stare a little longer than you should
Maybe the right song with the wrong car company is on the radio
Long strolls on the beach when you want to be with another
A kiss that should never have happened
An embrace that should have been a quick hug
Only yesterday
When you parted company
Going your own ways
When Alexa plays Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac
It is only yesterday

Second time around
Maddy Oct 2018
The first love
Puppy dog and exploding hormones
Hard to explain and harder to control
Then when you aren’t looking
Prince Charming or Princess Charming appears
Just because you are you
Your grace and kindness
The look that another person didn’t appreciate
Now matters
The second time around is forever
Just be ready to accept it when it comes your way

New friend
Maddy Jan 2022
A gift that keeps giving expectedly
A treasure
Incredibly talented with a wit and intelligence enjoyed by those accepting of someone so different and special
You quietly standout and were so unexpected in a jam packed busy life
One door closed when Heaven called her home
By her heart and grace,you arrived at the right time and place
So every joy and genuine delight should find you and those you love
You are. a blessing and sure as Poets write your family knows this
May the stars smile down on you now and forever more

The gray round belly and happy demeanor made people having a snack stop and take notice
Happy little one, one of Mother Nature's children
Unless she was pregnant, what a jolly little creature
Unafraid of the humans and hoping they would leave a tasty morsel  or treat for her
What a delight while taking a break visiting this lovely zoo
Hopefully Skippy will greet us again
Stay safe little friend

Not rehearsed
Automatic because it is real
No time element
Passion rising
Fun because it is supposed to be
Not a game
It is not something to do to pass tbe time
No comparing notes
Like fine wine it gets better with time
Try magnificent
Never ever dialed it in

Blue eyed prince
Maddy Dec 2020
Never in a lifetime
Does a Brooklyn boy adore and love you
No fairytale can match
You can’t make this up
No matter what the news tell us might go wrong
Or is wrong
Somehow my bespectacled prince and very tall
Works his magic
Houdini and Copperfield have nothing on you

Simply a sin
Maddy Aug 2021
Disrespect
Clearly and obviously
Wear a mask
Lies to rationalize and for no other reason
Opponents of sanity with no regard for what is right
The violence
The square pegs in round holes and vice versa
Democracy always
Autocracy that needs never to return because it is dangerous and pathetic
Simply a sin
Please don't let your opinion **** another human being
Too many of us said goodbye to loved ones
Just how selfish are you?

Faces in the dark
Maddy Dec 2021
Friends you have yet to meet
Yet, they know you and return to see you
Glad you don't call them fans
Fans short for fanatics, they are not
These are voices in your head that should be silenced
The are stomping on your soul and your dreams
It's a lot more than it seems
Along with applause, cheers and screams
Those faces in the dark will always be your spark

Doesn't matter what tbe mountain is

Excuses will no longer do it
One step at a time
Fresh attitude

Remember
Maddy Jun 22
Many dreams in progress or have come true
Delicious mornings that we try to recapture
No matter how we are one
It is always WONDERFUL
A gift and treasure
It gets better and more precious
You are my one and only
Remember tbat when life gets in the way
When tempers flare
When others do the unexplainable with no excuse
They just make excuses no matter how loving and giving we are
Remember

Tender moments
Maddy Dec 2019
Walking in between raindrops
Long car rides with destinations unknown
Car picnics with take out Chinese food
Watching airplanes depart and arrive
Wishing you were a passenger
Dreaming of the day every wish came true
Tender moments on freezing cold Christmas days in New York City
Or any major city in the world for that matter
May I wish you these tender moments as well
As waking up in the arms of the love of your life

Sound it out
Maddy Jun 28
Tell the truth
Memories matter
You only lie to protect someone's feelings
Stop judging and hurting others
It is Pride Weekend
What business is it of your who someone lives or sleeps with?
What goes on behind closed doors is private
Mind your business
It is more than agreeing to disagree
The world has its issues but together we can sound it out
Worry about yourself
Your family
Your friends
As a straight married woman sounding it out for my friends who are LGBTQ
Sound it out

It Is The Only One
Maddy Mar 2023
Make it genuine
Make it divine
Make it the way you want it to be
Think of Dexter the dog from Colorado and you can do the unthinkable
Many people were touched and moved by the dog who lives the think I can spirit and does it
Realize the costs and the moments are precious and must be seized
Sometimes it isn't pretty
Sometimes it isn't fair
Sometimes it is what it is doesn't apply
It's the only one
It's yours
Have at it
Taste it and Revel in it
It's the only one just be kind and caring

Maddy Sep 2019
This is not ******
Much higher level
Melding of spirit and soul
You don’t lose control here
You polish and perfect it
Call to the muses for help
Listen for their call
Inspiration hugs you
Nothing to exchange
Sharing here leaves you spellbound
If you are lucky
Cherish what others don’t take the time to find
You are a poet
You make love to words
The words teach you to love more than you thought your heart could take

The bowl is empty

Hope your dog runs free
With memories of you

Holding on
Maddy Jul 15
Somethings stay the same
It is what is
It is what you want and because it works
Your comfort and soul requires that
Change is not only difficult but the need outweighs the means
Easy to say put it behind you
Another to actually do it
Holding on might be easier for some
Holding on can stifle what you need
You might want something you never considered before
Well enough might be what the universe ordered for you

Do good
Maddy Apr 2021
She had the nerve to call me Do gooder
The kind that talks a good game but contributes very little to the world
Whenever she passes my way, Feeling sorry for her comes to mind
The truth she and those like her are a waste of our time
Quietly and without applause or aplomb
My very best is to go my best in this world
Do good no matter what you do
As for her, get out of our way

For you
Maddy Jan 2021
Someone who loves you more than you love yourself
I know you don't like yourself
Be adored and married they way you choose to be
Accept that some will never get it and who cares about them
You have wasted time worrying about what you cant control
Prejudice, ignorance and hate need to take flight
Before you say it, I know they wont ever truly be gone
Hoping and wishing wont make it so
My sweet friend love who you love
Please stop looking and find him
You friends straight, gay, or no matter how they define themselves will dance at your wedding
For You Joy and Love

Befriended you long ago
Latch key kid doing what was expected
You let me talk to you
Life got in the way for others to have time for me
Never judged or bullied me
When life turned ugly
You glistened
Without you
Would have been gone long ago
You saved my life
Others have read you and shared their feelings too
Writing is my forever friend
Always catching rainbows with me

Her green and gold leaves flow like Rapunzel's on this mild December day

She sways on the breeze and watches cars and shoppers around her
Hope they stop to notice just how lovely she really is
Thanks for letting me get to know you

Being up and down without balance makes little sense
Letting go of yesterday and what no longer works does
Some people get left behind for your own good and theirs
It is a learning process
Nothing is as easy as it looks no matter how masterfully created
That said the creativity must be honed,revamped
,polished for the next go round
You need reach towards a deeper place embrace it
See it through
Up and over

Suggestions
Maddy Nov 2019
Labels are not necessary
Making a point is
Quality will always reign supreme
Quantity does not always cut it
Unless counting is your thing
Simplicity has its place
Utilize that one
Mistakes get you on the road to improvement
Acquiring things lises its luster quickly
On the other hand people,places ,and memories
are the best reruns ever

There is so much more it could be

My father in-law gone five years today.
My father gone forty seven years ago tomorrow.
Please don't say long ago because we lost our Daddy at age 45.
Mom is gone three weeks ago this Monday.
Do the right thing
Do the heart thing
The heart thing always beats to a different tune
Love your people while they are with you for they too will be gone too soon

The way it is
Maddy Jul 2022
Somebody makes you a victim
Your sense of worth and well being vanishes
No matter your age
You are harmed and scared for life even though some think you get over it
You don't but with help you move on and forward
When your dignity is taken and you are never the same
People who haven't a clue want to deny your rights to terminate something that should have never been there in the first place
It is your body and nobody should tell you what to do with it
That is not the way it is now but the way it needs to be again
Children should be wanted and planned for
Believe what you want and think what you want
That is fine
When one is violated sometimes what is taken can't be corrected medically
Some women can never conceive and when it is medically assisted if it is possible when will Government try to stop that blessing
The way it is is not as it should be
Will you pay to raise the children that were not wanted until they are no longer minors
Will Orphanages be filled to the max
That is the way it will be

The Magic of you
Maddy Aug 2019
Draw outside of the lines
Create a new color
Drink white wine with meat and red wine with fish
Sing off key,on key,any key at the top of your lungs
Wear unmatched clothing or last decade’s style
Whatever way you define happy is fine with me
The cheer and support will be started by a source close to your heart
I loved you then as I love you know
As I have from the start
How could anybody not love the magic of you
