Follow Me: Poetry from the Heart and Soul

By Tammy Dennings Maggy

These poems were written over a course of two years detailing my journey to find myself again. They tell a story that is not only mine, but that of many who have struggled through losing what they thought was the love, and themselves in the process. These poems show the way through the darkness that can nearly destroy your heart and soul, the way to find inner peace and open your heart once again to love.

Tammy Dennings Maggy

After a nearly 20 year career as a veterinarian, I decided it was time to pursue another dream of mine. With the publication of the first novel in my Now and Forever series in the fall of 2011, I was well on my way. Now my time is divided between my day job, writing two erotic romance series, and my poetry.Update: Now I'm looking at full time writing/publishing. Soon I'll hang up my stethoscope and retire from veterinary medicine. I'm excited about the new journey and the new projects I have lined up for publication.

When I Was A Child

When I was a child I sat in the corner

And daydreamed about the things I wished I had.

I hated boys and their rough games.

Girlfriends were sometimes very mean,

And my parents always treated me like a baby.

If anyone was looking for me,

I would escape into my dream world

And become someone else.

And here I am.

Doing the things I dreamt about,

The center of attention,

And loving it!

Why Me?

Growing up I was the responsible one

Put in charge, made to watch

While others got to have fun

Why me?

Taught to respect my elders

Painfully shy, I never complained

But cried inside along the sidelines

Why me?

Boys chasing my sisters

Were always around

Talking to me but

Looking through me

Because I was invisible.

Why me?

As the years go by

Boyfriends turn to husbands

Wives become mothers

But a different path was chosen

For the first born

Why me?

Career blossoms

No time for dating

No time for fun

Going through life alone

Why me?

Yearning to be loved

Wanting to be cherished

Searching for the One

But never finding him

Why me?

Prince Charming married someone else

Forgetting about the one in the Tower

The dream of being a mother

Abandoned long ago.

Destined to go through life alone

Why me?

Lover’s Triads

It always begins with that first touch,

Shake of the hand, nod of the head,

The melody of the child’s laughter

We all love so much.

A friendship is born.

A lifelong partnership begins.

Bonds formed during childhood torn

So that those of star crossed lovers can win.

The seed was sown in the past long ago;

It will bear fruit that can now be savored…

In a way we all hope and pray to know.

The promise of love never ending,

Brightens the darkness that shrouds

Our hearts and casts it full of woe.

A new love bursts forth as a young Maiden

Innocent and pure…

Until she finds love’s first kiss.

The Mother nurtures that love

Through their child nursing at their breast.

And on her face one can see

Pure, unadulterated bliss.

The Eternal Flame continues to flourish

Through the years well into their twilight days.

And can be witnessed through
