Marilyn's Poetry
Life -
I am of both your directions
Existing more with the cold frost
Strong as a cobweb in the wind
Hanging downward the most
Somehow remaining
Those beaded rays have the colors
I've seen in paintings - ah life
they have cheated you...
thinner than a cobweb's thread
sheerer than any-
but it did attach itself
and held fast in strong winds
and sindged by leaping hot fires
life - of which at singular times
I am of both your directions -
somehow I remain hanging downward
the most
as both of your directions pull me.
- Marilyn Monroe
A Sorry Song
I've got a tear hanging over
my fear, that I can't let go.
It's too bad
I feel sad
When I got all my life behind me.
If I had a little relief
From this grief
Then
I could find a drowning
straw to hold on to.
It's great to be alive.
They say I'm lucky to be alive
it's hard to figure out -
when everything I feel - hurts!
- Marilyn Monroe
To the weeping Willow
I stood beneath your limbs
and you flowered and finally clung to me
and when the wind struck with
the earth
and sand
you clung to me.

Night of the Nite -soothing-
darkness-refreshes -Air-
Seems different -Night- has
No eyes nor no one -silence-
except to the Night itself
- Marilyn Monroe
I could have loved you once
and even said it
But you went away,
A long way away.
When you came back it was too late
And love was a forgotten word.
Remember?
- Marilyn Monroe
O, Time
Be kind.
Help this weary being
To forget what is sad to remember.
Lose my loneliness,
Ease my mind,
While you eat my flesh.
- Marilyn Monroe
