Marguerite C. Anderson Poems

I dare you to utter a word
To the muted walls you cry to each night.
I dare you to defy your station
When you are trapped by the agony of your own plight.
...

I saw your image...
...distinct as the lucid moon.
Saw you arch, saw you stretch those long legs
As if in anticipated jubilance to greet the world
...

Today I needed my daddy
and it occurred to me that he is really gone.
He was never perfect
but for me, he became the man I could rely on.
...

Sometimes I wish you would undress me,
Let me show you what is in the castle of my skin,
Undress my thoughts heavily draped in layers of fabric,
Fabric made to conceal the brainwashed child within.
...

Marguerite C. Anderson Biography

Freelance journalist, poet, lover of the Arts, an educator, a stickler for discipline, mother & grandmother, and God-fearing woman; I am unafraid to live life to the fullest. I am not boxed in by someone's label on my identity, particularly when that seeks to have me deny my dual personalities. My free- spirited personality will reflect in what I write. The topics being varied- from religion to love-making. I write about anything that moves me to write. I write because it liberates me.)

The Best Poem Of Marguerite C. Anderson

I Dare You

I dare you to utter a word
To the muted walls you cry to each night.
I dare you to defy your station
When you are trapped by the agony of your own plight.
You can't escape the facade you live;
Your seemingly perfect harmony
Is your disguise against the discord of your symphony.
I dare you to dream of True Love's kisses
When your stagnant soul can't savour what it misses-
That long forgotten distant passion
has become an illusion, a figment of the imagination.
I dare you to lust at Love's nakedness beside you
Or to feel the urgency of Love's adjacent breath, overdue.
I dare you to find what your heart aches for
I dare you to step out of the confines of your silhouetted door.
If not for you, then do it for me.
I dare you to set my spirit free.
Let me not fear lest I but live
To spend my years imprisoning what I have to give.
There's more to life than this, I surmise.
Why then do I stay in this disguise?
I dare you, woman, to take a stance, I dare you to want romance...

How dare YOU to want romance? !

Marguerite C. Anderson Quotes

Sometimes when we set off on a journey, the only thing we know is where we want to end up, even though we have no map to navigate our paths.

I see your face and my joy is activated.

I will always be a fierce champion for my children, even if that means coming face-to-face with them on the battlefield.
