    About this ebook

    These poems were written over a course of two years detailing my journey to find myself again. They tell a story that is not only mine, but that of many who have struggled through losing what they thought was the love, and themselves in the process. These poems show the way through the darkness that can nearly destroy your heart and soul, the way to find inner peace and open your heart once again to love.

     

    This is the second edition.

    Tammy Dennings Maggy

    After a nearly 20 year career as a veterinarian, I decided it was time to pursue another dream of mine. With the publication of the first novel in my Now and Forever series in the fall of 2011, I was well on my way. Now my time is divided between my day job, writing two erotic romance series, and my poetry.Update: Now I'm looking at full time writing/publishing. Soon I'll hang up my stethoscope and retire from veterinary medicine. I'm excited about the new journey and the new projects I have lined up for publication.

      Letters to Mum

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      When I Was A Child

      When I was a child I sat in the corner

      And daydreamed about the things I wished I had.

      .

      I hated boys and their rough games.

      Girlfriends were sometimes very mean,

      And my parents always treated me like a baby.

      .

      If anyone was looking for me,

      I would escape into my dream world

      And become someone else.

      .

      And here I am.

      Doing the things I dreamt about,

      The center of attention,

      And loving it!

      * * * *

      Why Me?

      Growing up I was the responsible one

      Put in charge, made to watch

      While others got to have fun

      Why me?

      .

      Taught to respect my elders

      Painfully shy, I never complained

      But cried inside along the sidelines.

      Why me?

      .

      Boys chasing my sisters

      Were always around

      Talking to me but

      Looking through me

      Because I was invisible.

      Why me?

      .

      As the years go by

      Boyfriends turn to husbands

      Wives become mothers

      But a different path was chosen for the first born.

      Why me?

      .

      Career blossoms.

      No time for dating.

      No time for fun.

      Going through life alone.

      Why me?

      .

      Yearning to be loved.

      Wanting to be cherished.

      Searching for the One

      But never finding him

      Why me?

      .

      Prince Charming married someone else,

      Forgetting about the one in the Tower.

      The dream of being a mother abandoned long ago.

      Destined to go through life alone.

      Why me?

      * * * *

      Lover’s Triads

      It always begins with that first touch,

      Shake of the hand, nod of the head,

      The melody of the child’s laughter we all love so much.

      A friendship is born.

      A lifelong partnership begins.

      Bonds formed during childhood torn so that those of star crossed lovers can win.

      .

      The seed was sown in the past long ago;

      It will bear fruit that can now be savored

      In a way we all hope and pray to know.

      The promise of love never ending,

      Brightens the darkness that shrouds our hearts and casts it full of woe.

      .

      A new love bursts forth as a young Maiden innocent and pure...

      Until she finds love’s first kiss.

      The Mother nurtures that love through their child nursing at their breast.

      And on her face one can see pure, unadulterated bliss.

      The Eternal Flame continues to flourish through the years well into their twilight days,

      And
