Not everyone has the sweet mellifluous tone of Jewel

or the raspy, catchy blues brilliance of StevieRay

Some try their best but the result is cruel

and they find themselves unable to say

Just what it is that works them inside

Heightens their fears and makes them abide

Alone and afraid just wanting to know

That there’s someone to whom they can go

For shelter and comfort

Laughter and Play

Hugging and Kisses

Someone who’ll stay

With them the whole night

Not slipping from their bed

Waking up in the moonlight

No note that they’ve fled

And leaving them lonely, stony and cold

There in the bedroom with no one to hold

Wondering, pondering were they the fool

Thinking they could sing their love like Jewel

I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
this scribble in honor of a buddy who'll know who she is

Thanks to you both!

Just to set the record straight Lady Theresa gave me the idea about Jewel and the poem just worked itself out from there. Thanks abrelosojos.

Thanks Ms Cat lady fireballthefair, though I won’t be fearing you. I greatly appreciate your kind words.
