Magnetically Bound

Dated: March 18, 1997

She slept near him,
She wispered and watched
The Winter Wind.

Over-thinking the young man
Lathered and drooled when he saw her
It was like a chocolate pound playing musically
With a petal rose,
And the winter wind
Shot Madly away
From the Storm and
Then the Summer wind baked in
Which started to cook and seem to boil
While the comfort from the chocolate lathered their bodies.

Which Way Does The Wind Blow?

2012-06-25T21:26:00.001-07:00

Which, way, does the wind wind blow?
I need to know because I love you so?
Is it blowing from where you are?
It seems so very far;
I just want to know which way does the wind blow?

When the streets are cold in Chicago and
There is no where left to turn
I flew down South 300 miles and kinda swerved
Now it's dry here and I stirred up the wind again

I pray for rain again,
To save the world;
My dear friends.

Maybe In Time

By: Lucinda Kerrigan

April 16, 2012

Your hiding what your really know about everything

For some reason there are some things

You don’t want to tell or share with me

Maybe in time you will

Maybe in time you won’t

Maybe in time

I will stop trying to figure you out and analyze your way of thinking

It’s too complicated anyway

Maybe in time

We can work it all out

Maybe in time

We will drift apart again

I don’t want that but I can’t force you

To love me dear

Maybe in time

You will fall in love with me all over again

Maybe in time you’ll see

That we are meant to be

Maybe in time

Finally I am over you

Finally I have made peace within myself

And put your memory on the shelf

And now I am thinking only of myself

I tried to deny that I

After 7 years you plagued my mind

I tried to hide behind the feelings

Now I have for another man

And he truly understands

How hard it was to break down the walls

That you imprisoned me with your lies

And now I am done with crying

No more tears will come down my cheeks out of my eyes

Goodbye, dear ex

Goodbye

And have a nice life…

JUST DO IT

By: Lucinda Kerrigan

Written: April 15, 2012

(1^st Dance Song ever written?)

Just do it

I wanna see you get up here on the dance floor

And stop saying you will

Just do it

Wanna see you spin round and round

Get your head buzzed up in the dance clouds

While the DJ pounds out each sound

Just do it

I know you wanna

Just do it

What are you waiting for?

Just do it

All night long

C’mon baby, join me out here among the crowd

Have no fears…just do it

I wanna see your moves and see if you can still groove so…

Just do it-just do it-just do it-just do it-….

My Love

My love is a rose

When smelled just right

My love is a blanket

When wrapped around so tight

My love is a kind of love

That can be seen in many ways

On any given nights and days

When the clouds part

Showing a clear sky

Or when the fog invades

The nighttime dark

However, you like it

My love is there for you my dear

When you’re cold, lonely,

And there is no place to go

Stay home for I’ll soon

Be there for you to hold and

Everything your senses sense

Will seem new not old

Don’t be laden with worrying

That won’t get you far

Before my plane lands

Just get inside your car

I might even get there before you do

Saying, “come out, come out wherever you are?”

Just then, I realize that

This can’t be thought of

Since your expediency never fails

To get you to your destiny

Where your love meets my love

The black pearl lies upon an ocean's shore
Just like a bra lying along a rainforest's floor
I know it sounds silly
A bit absurd
But our living God above
Hasn't yet said a word
Although, he made
The black pearl.

An Endless Flight

Time seems endless
When your heart is on flight
Don't know why
The turbulences shakes it
Causing the pressure to make it feel
Like my heart jumped into my throat
Pulsating without end

Just when it's almost over
The feeling is still there
When will it go away?
I'm not sure since I feel that I'm
On an endless flight

Starlight, star bright
Where is my true lover tonight?

I am trying to stay
Where I am in my comfort zone
Yet I'm ready for a change

What should I do?
Where will I go?
Why is everything
Moving so fast
Then slow then fast
And so and so?

So, I am gonna change my tune
I am gonna chart a new course
With my lover my best friend in mind

And, between the two of us
We are gonna be unstoppable
We are gonna change the world
One day at a time

I feel my head spinning
When I think about you darling
Totally overwhelmed and God
Knows we're both a work in progress

But, I confess my feelings
Are getting stronger everyday as
I hold myself back everytime
And in spite of how my heart tries to escape
And I tell myself,
"One day at a time"

Am I moving too slow?
Am I moving too fast?
Maybe without realizing
I'm moving closer to you
Right on time

So, maybe now it's
Time to reveal more of me to you
By slowly un-veiling
The pieces of my life
But, first if you don't mind
May I have a kiss?
Ok, well maybe after you read this...

Our Divine Escape

Purple lights,
Blue skies and
Your beautiful mind
Like mine fascinates
The emotions I had
Never known I had inside

As you sleep
I am fighting the cold
I am fighting my body's
Will to stay alive

Before midnight,
I start to sacrifice
My heart needs
A real flame beside it

Now I see a vision of you
You are waiting for me on
The other side and
The picture is getting clearer
As I keep walking through
The haze

Soon, time will let me escape
My angels in heaven
Saved me as you know
On that cold December morning

Now, I got a plan
But you must understand
That I need a companion
Because I can't do this all alone

So, take my hand
If you are ready
Don't be afraid
Don't delay
Our divine escape

God I would
Like to know
What is your will
For my life?
I seem to be good
At everything I try

I don't know why
I haven't found my
Exact calling yet
I'm still young but
30 is right around the bend

If I have to wait
How much longer do I have to wait?
Is it in front of my eyes
Is it something great?

Everyday that passes
I wonder more and more
I realize at first that I
Need more patient
But life is short

Tell me now if you
Can please reveal
Your perfect plan I
Trust you God and I
Will try to understand

As you know I'm only
Human and I'm doing the best I can
If I already failed your destiny for my life
I will gladly now take your alternative plan
Whatever it takes
I'm here 'til the end

Faith By My Side

You tried to build walls
Around my heart
But you didn't get very far
And now I have torn it apart
I am reaching into a new dream
Without you with me

I am looking into a new sky
Facing a new life
I may never know why
You said good bye
But that is alright
I still have faith by my side

I repented my sins and have been baptized
Nothing in our past
Will hold me back this time
I have a vision in my mind
As I wipe a tear from my eye

When I look back
I was too young and sad
To say "yes" to any man
Yet now I am glad
That I have another chance
So since then I have found new hope
And I have decided it's time
To let you go

When You

When you touch me
My skin melts yours
Then your eyes meet mine
And it makes me feel like
I'm in our eternal paradise

When you kiss me
You release me
And set my soul at ease
Your love is sensually free

When you hold me
I know I'm in a safe haven
Your love to me is only what I'm craving

When you caress me
I feel my spirit rise
There is no end
To all this pleasure tonight

When you tease me
I know you miss me
There is no greater feeling in the world

When you touch me
All those fascinating love things
As you show me now are being done

I learn to appreciate
The beauty of love
Oh, then you tell me I'm yours
By the way you present
Yourself so real to me

I can't wait until the next time
You decide to stay and dance
With my heart in your hands and play
A song to me I will never forget
For the rest of my life

** This poem was three years in the writing! Completed today!**

Behind the rain
My tears have fallen
From the sky
And I thought about you
Then there you were
Like I was day dreaming

Along the sun rays
Beams of happy memories
From us together
Flood my mind

I reach out to a rainbow
Across a glacier
The way I used to
Reach out to you every night

As I close my eyes
I still envision
Our love the way
It was and to me
It will always be

After the sun sets
The moon will rise
And I will kiss the stars
To capture the feeling
Like when we kissed
A thousand rainbows lit up and glistened
Angels rejoiced in heaven at that moment
But now it is only a picture framed next to my heart

Drowned Angel

By: Lucinda Kerrigan

October 21, 2011

Be still my soul

Listen to my broken heart

One day at a time

I need to pray

To survive through

This hard time

I am a drowned angel

Surrounded in a pool of tears

Surrounded by terrifying fears

Chains that bound me

Walls that I can’t break alone

I am alone in my feelings

Only God can save me

From falling to the bottom

Of the ocean

Like he did when I was young

In the Lake of Michigan

At the age of 13

So young so innocent and so free

I wannabe back in that feeling again

Of inner peace and serenity

Drowned angel

I am not the only one

After trials and tribulations

I am letting God in

He is knocking at the door

Bringing hope and faith and love

I am waiting for answers

But I see are broken pieces

Scattered about me

Problem solving is one of my strengths

Being hurt and a stress disorder victim

Is my new challenge

I am in a chapter in my life

Making a new beginning

This drowned angel

Will submerge out of the water

And fly high again into sky

And touch the ground

And run to God’s arms

And he will carry me home

In my mind, I see you
In my soul, I feel that you are there
Wherever I go you follow me

Whenever I'm down
I will seek you
Oh Lord, I trust you
To take my hand when
I'm desperate
Or when I need you to carry me

In your footsteps
There is comfort
In your embrace
There is solace
In your voice
There is strength
In your touch
There is healing
In you, there is everything
That I could ask for and more

Whatever comes my way
It won't stand half a chance
Up against my faith
I know I can conquer
My greatest fears
In you, there is a reason to believe

Jesus, your joy is unexpected
Your love is pure
In you, I have more than a friend
I have a savior to call my own
In you, we are two shadows
Walking beside the rising and the setting sun
In you, there is new life
In you, there is everything
Now and forever, Amen.

After the storm has passed

After harsh words have been said between us

Please dear let’s let peace in

And the winds die down

I no longer wish to yell or shed a tear

My emotions have worn me down

Left me worn out and full of fear

Can’t take another day or night

Trapped in these feelings

Imprisoning me and hindering us

Just want to be the one to give you love

After the storm

The sun comes out

The birds fly across the sky

The day has begun

The sun has already risen

And I am still listening….

After the storm

I am starting to really like it here

Don’t feel like moving nowhere else

I am settled in this sleepy ole town

And I have run out of road to run down

The gasoline prices are too high

And I am too happy to leave this time

I look out my apartment window

At the world below

Bustling out there on the street

With youth and business people buzzing around

Loud music, youth hanging out, doors slamming,
Crazy drivers in this hood

When is the law gonna run them amuck?

In a way, if I had the money

I would go to a better place

Fancier appliances and gadgets of this new century

And have a Porsche Mercedes

Would it make me feel better materially, well yes!

But spiritually, no!

I got my husband, my mother, and the Good Lord

That is all I need to be happy and free

Everything else is part of surviving

And can’t forget my friends

They are like family to me

Strong like a rock

That I can lean on when times are tough

Someone to call around the clock

Busy as a bee that’s me

Between school, work, running errands and caretaking

Projects and hobbies are barely a part time thing

Just some time in between

Thank you God for all of my blessings

I count them all thanks to you

The fiery light beckoned to me
Awakening the lonely portions in my soul

Like a lost warrior coming
Out of a dark past
You taught me how to control
And use what I know

If it weren't for your love
Calling to my imaginations
How could I ever
Keep on learning to hold
A light moving journey
Towards a freedom of my own?

Evolving Into Lovelight

Moonlight illuminates my windowpane
Neutralizing loneliness and shielding me from your
Omniscient moon-ray blooming the indiglo daisies
In your heart as the sea waters part

While a silver fish glides along the
Internal ocean tank wave
I dream a dream of the day
When I will be saved from all of this
Overbearing solitary pain

Then, repulsive shadows take away
An enormous shake while sharing
Moments together with you and I
Inside on our lathering bed making love
Above needed languid music with
Warmth pouring inside from an open sky
Catching our incubate eye though
Only occurring when the wind
Is blowing freely amidst and
Among a French peril night
Sordidly screaming for a light
To cry like a goddess ship lost
In diamond time waiting beside
A figurative line consisting of honey and perfect wine

This is what ran through my mind
Due to incurring repetitive moonlight
Renown as a deeper feeling
Evolving into lovelight

Looking for Inspiration

I seem to be on a long writer's block
My writing abilities are screaming to come out
Sometimes I just don't have anything new to say
But I am still looking for inspiration always anyway

I've turned a page
I am in a new chapter in my life
My past is now just
A shadow in my mind

Old memories plague me
From every which way
Good and bad
Night and day
I must decide which ones go
And which ones can stay
Sometimes it is hard to say
I guess memories come from
Things that happen commonly in life
But there are circumstances that try to stand in my way
Push me further to the edge
With nowhere to run away
So, I take control back into my hands
Like a puppeteer holding the strings
I am not going to let destiny and fear win the game

Looking ahead and walking forward
I am stronger today then I was yesterday
Just when I think
I am stuck in the middle of time
The present quickly goes into the past in my mind

Still, I keep looking for inspiration
But it isn't something just lying around
It isn't easy to find and it is expensive
Like a bottle of wine
Especially for a poet
Running out of rhymes

Dreamily, I lift up my head

As if your like its warmth
Filling me up inside my body and my heart
While I doze off into a light dream
With my head tucked underneath
A refreshing sleepiness in
This new spring reality
