Wise women alone..

Sick and tired
for beautiful
well-rounded
women.
Women
with so much to offer
women who understand
how to be a helper
and a lover
and a giver.
These women
sometimes dream of
how they'd enjoy
 a solid mate
to help them in life;
and who they could help
emotionally,
financially,
spirituality.
Just one to make a day light
 and a night shared...
Alone instead
 because many men
are simply stunted, boys
or aged men who fear aging
and seek youth in
a size 5 instead
of a woman
who is wise.

Up too Early

Getting up Early
Thinking
fretting, contemplating
frustrated
sad, sniffling
disgusted...
writing
having tea
wondering
about the day
as I close this poetic rambling
to fold clothes
and close my eyes
again...waking hopefully
next time
