Janet Mulligan Poems

So close to succeeding I was
But just before that time did come
There was also word creating quite the buzz
Around town the people were having fun
...

You are the magician
I am the moon
I reflect and enlighten from darkness
You perfect the art of the Alchemist
...

A touch of the hand, and a soft, gentle smile
This feeling of belonging and still so fragile
Hardly making sense of us most often
Was it really a need to just be softened?
...

I know my purpose and what I am called upon for
The heartfelt tasks that leave us yearning for more
Those moments with me will bring changes to your core
Backwards and forwards but never as it was before
...

Have less fear my sweet, Boo Boo
For you I'm always here; not going anywhere
And If times shall come to pass that I must go
Away I'll be only just momentarily
...

There can be good in everything
I've heard it's called the silver-lining
We live and learn and grow and grow
Finding out there is always more to know
...

Why do You have such compulsive needs?
Life is hard enough without that constant greed
I try to live by philosophical creeds
And I'm tortured by your desire to succeed
...

Now I know the deep seeded truth
I was looking outside when I should of been looking in
I just wish I knew
I got to be the change
...

I want to forgive you but I feel stuck in this hate
This difference exists because you were so great
Impervious before you to those of no grace
Was easy to forgive the atrocities without faith
...

The broken soul that everyone sees
Does not really exist and this I believe
Wearing your emotions right on your sleeves
I see who you are and what you need
...

Yes it's me who has been so blind
What I saw could of stood the test of time
And in my haste I begged on my knees
But I couldn't see the Forrest for the trees
...

My Rose Colored Glasses

Just be with me here
Right now in this moment
...

The Best Poem Of Janet Mulligan

Success Is A Direction

So close to succeeding I was
But just before that time did come
There was also word creating quite the buzz
Around town the people were having fun
And I braked to slowly drive through
Window shoppers and looki loos
They all had been attending
And this town was definitely not for me
As I was a girl from the big city

So close to finally succeeding
I thought it strange being so far away now
I had been on the way into the city
I veered quite off the beaten path somehow
I knew it was time to find my way back
So I asked of the town folk of how to get out
They laughed and thought my quest a joke
So i had to go it alone to the city
Where I was once so close to succeeding

For when I got back I bad someone waiting
On me it was the responsible tasks
To finish up where the rest had lacked
I could not just give up on that
For I knew they didn't give up on me
My courage then did become to grow
The town was no longer filled, just hollow
I could easily see which path to follow
I took that way on into the city
Where I had to go to finish succeeding

This journey back was about my believing
Relying on faith alone since nothing quite looked similarly
To the paths I has taken before
Better I was for this, this time.
I had returned to the city just fine.

Setting out to finish succeeding
Finally I had become so free
To wondering paths within the forrest
I knew quite well now which path not to take
For the better half I will not mistake
The ones leading away from success
And yet still to come was the best
Of what life I still had left
I know longer had to wonder and guess
Upon which path to take next having my best breath
That's where you stood for me awaiting
You knew all along I would pass the test
And finally I was succeeding
