Tired
Feeling stressed
Will the pleasantries
Ever come back
Be expressed?
Questions asked
Thoughts
Conveyed
Still
I stand here
With
Quietness, calmness
They seem to evade.

Tired, Feeling Stressed

The Life I Live
January 4, 2024
Don’t know what
Will become
Of
The life I live.
Will I succumb
To
The world around me
Accept
At all that it offers
All that I need?
I don’t know
What’s to be
But
I do know I can make it
Wonderful, great, most of all
Happy.

In This Day
January 3, 2024
In this day of my life
I see the love
Sweetness, heartache
And
Strife too.
I also see
Wonders that bloom
Bring life
To my world.
I’m surrounded by things
I don’t understand
But
Keep me safe thru this day
I was born to.

Closely, Slowly I Come To You
December 21, 2023
Closely, slowly
I come to you
I feel your breath
Breathing
Breathing on me
All around
you.
I see your eyes looking
Past me
Looking to a future
With
Or
Without me?
I can’t answer
This question
For
You.
I can only answer
I want
Need
To spend
The rest of my life
In this world
With you.

Thinking
December 11, 2023
I’m thinking, thinking
Things to do
Things I’ve done
And
Those accomplished
By me
For
You.
Some weren’t very big
Had no idea was to do
Then
There were others
Huge
On the scale of all things
Remembered
Lasting into the next millennia
Next spring.
I’m thinking, thinking
I really don’t have to do
Anything
Cause things happen
I’m thinking
Things happen
No matter
What I think I should do.

Long, Cold Lonely Night
November 29, 2023
No one holds me close
No one
Holds me tight.
Instead I lay
Alone
Throughout
The long, cold lonely night.
Will there be someone?
Will they love me tender
Hold me close
Hold
Me tight?
I can dream
But
Will it ever be
On
This long, cold lonely night?

No Matter
November 23, 2023
No matter the place
No matter
Where I’ve been
The world remains round
It comes round, around again.
Have I been here before?
Will I come back again?
Questions
Answers only answered
As they come round
Around
Once again.

Let Me Not
November 20, 2023
Let me not hold you close
Let my eyes not see
The beauty in your sweet being
Let me be all alone
Not near
Or
A part of anything.
Then I’ll know
How much I have
Then
I’ll be oh so glad
You’re in my life
I have a life
That’s perfect and mine to live
To have.

Show Me
November 13, 2023Show me
When
I must be sad, lonely
Not happy
Tell me if I’ve made
A mistake
Took for granted a kind gesture
A sweet refrain
For
If I have
If I’ve been callous, miserable
unforgiving
Then let me know
Let me see
A better way
And
Be a happy, giving
Carefree person
Who loves with no mistakes.

I Haven’t Seen You
October 30, 2023
You know I haven’t seen
You nearby me
Haven’t heard your voice
Say a single thing
Don’t know where
You’ve gone
Or
Where you could have been
For my mind remembers
The sweetest things
But
That’s all they are now
Is
Memories
Just memories
Could it be
I can’t find you
Can’t find you no matter
Where I look
Cause you too
Are nothing more
Than
A memory
A memory
My mind has
Put
Away for safe-keeping
To later embrace
And
Have a look?
