to fill the empty parts of me
i want to be full on my own

i want to be so complete
i could light a whole city
and then 
i want to have you
cause the two of
us combined
could set it
on fire]]> 2017-02-10 14:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153061066 lucaswbeagle https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153061079 You guys are picking some good poems!!!!!!!]]> 2017-02-10 14:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153061079 https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153061290 Morgan

of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been;
Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair.
I sit beside the fire and think of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see. 

For still there are so many things that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring there is a different green.
I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago,
and people who will see a world that I shall never know.
But all the while I sit and think of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet and voices at the door.
~J.R.R Tolkien

   at a lot of things;

               i cannot paint
               you pictures
because the beautiful
things in my head
cannot be translated

nor can i sing to you
as my voice has an
uncanny habit of
falling flat

nor can i play for you
as my fingers tremble
when my thoughts
cross over to how
you look, watching me

but i can brush the
knots out of your hair,
and work the knots 
out of your back
when the day
has come too
much to bear

i am not good at much,
but i will be good to you]]> 2017-02-10 14:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153065028 https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153498439 Kenzie]]> 2017-02-13 17:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153498439 https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153499284 2017-02-13 17:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153499284 https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153500533 2017-02-13 17:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153500533 https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153707896 2017-02-14 14:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153707896 https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153719543 2017-02-14 14:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/153719543 https://padlet.com/bharman/pe8lbyh9hiv3/wish/154302381 Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. 
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size 
But when I start to tell them, 
They think I'm telling lies. 
I say, 
It's in the reach of my arms 
The span of my hips, 
The stride of my step, 
The curl of my lips. 
I'm a woman 
Phenomenally. 
Phenomenal woman, 
That's me. 

I walk into a room 
Just as cool as you please, 
And to a man, 
The fellows stand or 
Fall down on their knees. 
Then they swarm around me, 
A hive of honey bees. 
I say, 
It's the fire in my eyes, 
And the flash of my teeth, 
The swing in my waist, 
And the joy in my feet. 
I'm a woman 
Phenomenally. 
Phenomenal woman, 
That's me. 

Men themselves have wondered 
What they see in me. 
They try so much 
But they can't touch 
My inner mystery. 
When I try to show them 
They say they still can't see. 
I say, 
It's in the arch of my back, 
The sun of my smile, 
The ride of my breasts, 
The grace of my style. 
I'm a woman 

Phenomenally. 
Phenomenal woman, 
That's me. 

Now you understand 
Just why my head's not bowed. 
I don't shout or jump about 
Or have to talk real loud. 
When you see me passing 
It ought to make you proud. 
I say, 
It's in the click of my heels, 
The bend of my hair, 
the palm of my hand, 
The need of my care, 
'Cause I'm a woman 
Phenomenally. 
Phenomenal woman, 
That's me.
