The small eyes and large nose -
endurable now as Quasimodo's hump,
loathed until embarrassment gives way
to a kind of resigned acceptance.
God's experiment gone awry:
Spirit of woman incarnated
in flawed form. Self-loathing, insecure,
yet desperately longing to be loved
for what she is inside,
for all she has to give.
Oh if only a kind heart were prized
as highly as outer beauty...
Not to be taken too seriously, guys...just a little fun at my own expense!! Lol
I am taking a short break from blogging, as I have to go to hospital for more, rather invasive 😝, tests.
I hope to "see" you again real soon.
Until then, have a great time, and stay safe and happy! 😊😊 xxxxx
My BEAUTIFUL Soul Sister, I am so sorry to hear that you have to be violated with more tests..,you do not deserve what is happening to you my dear and sweet friend! I wish that I truly had magical powers and could heal your body.
ReplyDeleteYour powerful and emotional words say what you are feeling. It breaks my heart to be so helpless to bring you comfort.
You are in my prayers every night and will be there always.
Hugs And Much Love My Dearest Soul Sister ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aww, you are so kind, dearest Jan...your caring words truly mean everything to me.😊😊
DeleteI am becoming rather nervous now, as I have to go to a hospital I have never been to before, in the centre of the City of Portsmouth, in the middle of a pandemic 😱...still, at least it will all be over soon and I will hopefully have some answers! 😉
Your prayers are so gratefully received, dearest Soul Sister 😊😊
Have an amazing weekend, and stay safe my dear friend.
All my love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My prayers go to you, hope everything will be fine! Stay safe and healthy ☺

I am sorry to hear that you have more bloody tests to endure and will hold you in my heart.
ReplyDeleteBeauty is as beauty does - and on that front you put Cleopatra firmly in the shade.
Hugs.
I like to think there is a sound reason behind every challenge we have to face in life, a lesson to learn, maybe?!
DeleteI have just learned that I have to go for more biopsies in the New Year, but for now...each moment is precious!😊😊
Aww, you are so kind, dearest Sue...but beautiful is definitely not how I see myself! I am a "plainie"!! Lol
Do hope you are feeling better today, and I am thinking of you always...
with much love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

DeleteMany thanks, my friend 👍
this was insightful poetry indeed dear Ygraine !
ReplyDeletetruth that it deals with is harsh for sure ,beauty of soul brings beauty to someone's face and personality and it is eternal gift which does not fade away by the time
people who have such heavenly beauty within can fill their surroundings with peace and beauty i believe
my precious friend i am bit low to hear that you are again going for tests ,yet i believe that your inner strength would make it easy and bearable for you !
you are in my thoughts and prayers always!
stay strong and happy as Lord has surrounded you from within and from around!
hugs and blessings!
Dearest Baili, I am fine with all that is happening to me. Truly. I firmly believe that every experience is for a reason, is a lesson we are meant to learn. I always try hard to find the positive within the seemingly hopeless situation...not always easy, but always worth the effort.😊😊
DeleteEvery moment of life is a precious miracle to me, as is your beautiful friendship. I feel truly blessed!!
Thank you, so so much, dear friend!!
Stay safe and happy, dear Baili.
Much love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoyed the poem. Hope all goes well.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you enjoyed, Anthony...and many, many thanks!😊😊
DeleteWe are always so harsh on ourselves, while others admire our beauty!
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well at the hospital for you, good luck with it all!
Hope that you are having a great weekend :) Too hot to do much here so we are staying at home doing Christmas crafts :)

I guess we are! I apply my makeup, but when I gaze in my mirror I still see only a plain face gazing back!😉
DeleteThank you so much for your kind wishes. I am awaiting some more biopsies, so will just try to forget it all for now and just enjoy what we have of a holiday this year!😊😊
Oh please send some of that wonderful hot weather this way...it is sunny here today, but SO cold!! Lol
Have a fabulous day!
Hugs xxx
Dear Ygraine, thinking of you and hoping all goes well at the hospital.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to 'seeing' you on you return.
I always enjoy your poems.
All the best Jan
PS Didn't Checo do well today? So exciting :)
Aww, thank you so much, Jan...my most heartfelt appreciation!😊😊
DeleteI have been transferred to St. Mary's hospital in Portsmouth now. They are looking after me really well. I have to return for more biopsies in the New Year. I feel quite confident.😊
Gosh, yes! You can imagine the excitement here when Checo won his first Grand Prix!! I was ecstatic!!!
The last race was a real disappointment...but his being signed up by Red Bull more than made up for it! Yay!!!
Perfect end to my year...think I'll have to write a poem about it!!😉
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!
Hugs xxx
Keeping my fingers crossed and sending good thoughts. And a hug.
