Update on Poetry Photos #poetrybook #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #video

Photos I took today working on my next poetry book. idk ???? We'll see how they fit. I work hard forward and then see where it all falls. It always falls where it should. Here's one poem I'll most likely use: Your head lays on the bed Your beautiful eyes shine in the light Your face, your look serene Coming at me You’re the morning My light My sunshine There’s no more beauty than this You in front of me in my view.

“Pretty Little Ornament” #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #prettylittleornament

Image by Monika from Pixabay

I’m a pretty little ornament

Waiting to bust out from the outside

I have so much movement in my body

Brain in my mind that’s not received

I had a hard time sitting there looking pretty

Which I was sent out to do so many times

My new jobs now in New York City

As a twenty-something year old

A job that tried to set me up

as a human trafficking victim

Making me look like a troubled juvenile

coming from a broken home

My mind would seep in at some jobs later to it’s highest

I was bad at typing in school

I could barely keep my mind on the keys

It was rather I keep my mind on the bad boy

That wanted nothing good for me

I wasn’t allowed to talk to the guidance counselor

at school about college

It was said that my father that I found out was not

Said a lot of bad things about me

I couldn’t go to anyone else in the school

I ended up with a counselor outside of there

That killed my baby at four months in my womb

The bad boy would insist picking me up from school

I already suffered black and blue from

He would take me late many

I was punished more than him by the school vice principal

I was congratulated after all this in high school

For being able to win all I ever wanted

Walking next to the abusive man now that I married.

“My Angel” #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #myangel

Image by Michael Schwarzenberger from Pixabay

I still think of you

Your body before you were taken from me

Your kick so strong

I picture your face but I can only imagine

I will fight for other children for you.

“My Spirituality, My Vitality” #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #spirituality #vitality

I came up with a new view of spirituality and vitality to write about. I hope you enjoy it.

I got so good at faking it

I was perfect at it

I enjoyed it

It became a head trip

I enjoyed the improvisation

It got to where enjoyed it

more than having a real orgasm

It was like acting

I knew how to go so deep and so far

I knew how to look with my eyes

How to make the look on my face

I knew how to move

Like the beautiful dancer in her own way

My originality couldn’t be matched

I felt smart to this

I was on top

The game was like a life

It took on a life of its own

It was me, with the fake orgasm,

The dance, the coquettish smile

the perception in me and of others of me

So classic

I could capture all

I had power

I had power to take down men

I had power to captivate their emotion

Their focus, their feeling

It’s turned into my spirituality, my vitality .

“Never Knew” #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #women

I still today regret leaving my husband who only hit me twice because I’ve been hit so many more times in my life. I wish I could go back to the love I had with him, but I know that’s not real. I had to write a song to this for other women going through the same thing. I wish we all knew, still, ahead of time how hard life is.

Never Knew

Verse

I never knew life could be so hard

No one ever told me how it is

To be a woman and to be all alone

I left you cause I couldn’t stand

getting hit by you

It was enough even

if only once to make me leave

Chorus

I never knew life could be so hard

I had it all, I was safe and loved

I felt I was too lost in love

But I never thought

I’d be hit so many more times

Verse

I felt at the times I was doing the right thing

Life grabbed me so hard

I couldn’t get away

I was told I should have left well enough alone

But I thought I could have it all

Chorus

Please come back to me

I want that feeling of security

Tell me I don’t have to leave

I just want to feel the love I once had

With no more fright inside of me

But I know that’s not real

“Your Girl Hiding Around the Corner” #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

Photo by Igor La Prado at Pexels.com.

I don’t know where you want me to touch

I don’t know where your sensors are

I imagine a man doesn’t like the neck

The arms, wrists, toes

I want to see your smile when I approach

I'm anticipating what I'll do

I'm not sure

Please tell me, give me a hint

I dream our love

As we dance, turn together

The steps are so far in my mind

How do I find forever

Your girl hiding around the corner.

“Sailing” #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

Image by Ri Butov from Pixabay

I’m sailing on the beach

In the water

With the starfish

I can’t dream to be

Anywhere else but here

The water is blue and clear

Almost scary to me

Let me feel this right now go through me.

Lyrics:

Verse

Drinking some tea

listening to some melodies

Oh to feel the caress

of the sunshine

I’ve talked to the doctor

all is good

though the things that are not

I can’t change

I’m learning new ways

to get through my day

Chorus

I wake up to a brand new day

it’s up to me how it’s gonna be

I’m getting ready

to put up a new trajectory

Verse

My hair is clean

the clothes are washed

I’ve done all my dishes and kitchen work

now it’s time to sit down and meditate

I know how to stop

all the bad feelings inside of me

though I don’t know how long it will take

I’m willing to wait

Chorus

I wake up to a brand new day

it’s up to me how it’s gonna be

I’m getting ready

to put up a brand new trajectory

Verse

I’ll worry about tomorrow

another light, and see how it flows

to my new stance

I can’t squander the event of time

it goes by so fast

I can sit hear and complain

and watch my life go by

or do something new

that I know that will work

Chorus
