Colette Dright Poems

Enough is Enough

Ever since I was a child and throughout my growing up
All I kept saying was, Enough Mom, Enough
...

I want to share with you what each letter in the word STAND means to me.

S.T.A.N.D -

You ever had a day off from work where God placed it upon your heart to go walking with Him? Well, I did just that today. I started my walk in this beautiful, wealthy subdivision, admiring the beautiful homes. After walking for a while, the beautiful homes were gone and it was just the isolated road and trees. I walked along the road to the land of Never, not once concerned with how far I had walked or how long I will walk. Since there was no sidewalk anymore, the gift to enjoy and walk a balanced life was intriguing to me. So I began balancing my walk on the curb. Walking by faith, walking in peace, walking towards my destiny. Is there more to this road? There has to be, for I wasn't finished my walk with Thee. The road had come to an end, nothing left but a gated fence and a fire station. End of the road, nothing to do but to make a U-turn, so you turn.

The calmness, the quietness, the serenity, the breeze blowing, the gratefulness, the grace, the beautiful, blue sky, the clouds on the move,72 degrees one week before Christmas, WOW! I just want to have a seat on the curb and so I did just that. I sat spending quiet time, just me and my Father looking up to the sky eating Hot Tamales, the cinnamon chewy candies.

Take me to those precious moments in time
Where I once held you oh so close
And your lips passionately touched mine
...

Somewhere out of nowhere these feelings came about
A lustful, yearning desire appeared without a doubt
This time it was me, which made it oh so strange
To adjust the way I was feeling, something had to change
...

Zinfandel is a man to me who I see as being fine as wine
And at times when we talk words coming out my mouth
Are not the same words going through my mind
...

Candy Crush is a computer game that people like to play
But Candy Crush to me was revealed a different way
My adrenaline would flow, there would be a quick rush
For this guy I liked a lot and had a real, big crush
...

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
