To Write Love on Her Arms

Nov 12-13th is "To Write Love on Her Arms Day" a few days dedicated to those suffering from depression.  So this poem goes out to all those bleeding hearts  that need warmth...friendship, love, someone to hear them and to know that they matter. 

Love on My Sleeve…T. Jenkins

I’m  just trying to be…the kind of woman that wears LOVE on her sleeve

Takes her heart out willingly

Gives it some air…lets it breathe

Opens it up and allows it to be

The kind of design that can leave

Visual impressions on souls that bleed

I want to stitch my heart on leather jackets that keep souls warm on long winter rides

You know that kind of life that feels like your climbing mountains and crossing rivers but will never get to the other side

And its cold

And the bike is wobbling

And you feel unsteady

You're on this journey and no one even taught you how to ride

You are barely- hanging -on

And all you have to keep you going is the comfort of something warm

So let me be that material that can take a brick chill and turn it into something cozy

Im ready to deal with hard and complicated

Ready to be a love that’s not easy

That’s not simple

Im ready to be pricked by the needle, to pick up the thimble

And be the thread that stitches patterns of your life into a coat-of-armor

To  cover you…to help you keep riding until a new day breaks

I want to create

a brand name for that love called the “Dawn of Carin'

For those like me, who still hope and believe in the power of love and are refreshingly naïve

Enuff to wear it on our sleeves..
