Colette Dright Poems

Alright listen, when it comes to relationships and marriages
There are NO rules and do's
There is a way to win, yet you choose the way to lose
...

The caterpillar she crawls around and around
Wondering when he'll come home to lay his head down
She cooked and cleaned and is awaiting for he
But there with his caterpillar, he'd rather not be
...

cuz, ion't, dem, whatcha, dat, make groceries, uon't, boocoo, earl, bouta, blowin', downbad, weddey, baby…

imma - Imma call you later. You going with her? No, imma go by myself.
...

Birds are free
Free to laugh, free to cry
Free to leave with no good-byes
Free to spread their wings so high
...

Is vision without seeing
Is hearing without talking
Is feeling without touching
Is longing without lusting
...

How do I love after the hurt
When my heart was shattered into pieces in the dirt
How do I begin to move out of my past
And love someone else thinking this too shall last
...

One night Hurt and I decided to have a Pity Party and
everybody brought somebody

Hurt brought Bitter
...

I wish I had a male man who was around my age, not married, not in a relationship, very understanding and willing to accept my imperfections.

I wish I had a male man where our communication would be top notch. Someone I could share my thoughts with, someone I could talk to throughout the day, anytime of the day.

Dear Mike,

I just wanted to touch base with you and write how I feel at this moment. While you were here, you taught us so much. I still play your songs because I like The Way You Make Me Feel through your music. It brings me closer to you. My favorites are Man In The Mirror and Black And White.
...

Who am I that I can choose
To pick from my closet different types of shoes
Who am I that my feet are bare
When I only wish I had shoes to wear
