You can hear me
you can see me
but
can you feel
my heart beating?
Can you
be alongside me
and
know what I’m thinking?
Can you?
Can you do
all these things
can you?
I’m just asking.

No More Will I Be
January 6, 2025
No more
Will I be
that one who stands back
quietly
No, not me
I will show who I am
who I want to
who
I’m going to be
Cause you see
if I don’t
no one will know me
I won’t be.

Needs To Be Said
January 2, 2025
I write
I say the words that
I believe
needs to be said.
I love the people of the world
only wish
they would not
be so intent on living
not thinking
how destructive
each footstep we take
can kill, eliminate
destroy living souls
who’ve done nothing
nothing but try to be
to live.
Take care to tread lightly
as you can
and
together we’ll make
the world a wondrous place
where we live
in
blissful harmony.
That’s all, that’s it
I’ve said
I believe
what
needs to be said.

I Paint
December 18, 2024
I paint
my calendar
I paint all night
I paint
till the morning light.
I know
my subject feels
the brush strokes caressing them
this beloved pet
I paint
today
and
most of tonight.

I Think
December 17, 2024
Nobody does
what
I think
they should do
Nor
do they say things
I think
could be true
Doesn’t matter what
I think
Cause
people say and do
whatever they want
What
their heart tells them
they should say
They think
they should do.

Heartfelt Feelings
December 16, 2024
Heartfelt feelings
coming thru
even though I don’t know
where
they came from
or
where
they’re going to.

A World Most Divine
December 13, 2024
I seek to find
the world
in a place divine
No hatred
killing
ever creeping slime
Caring places all
on the pedestal of sincere
and right
Full of joy
laughter
cuddling thru the night
This is where I want to be
this is how
all things should turn
A place I’ll seek, I’ll look
I’ll find
in a world most divine.

No One Does
December 2, 2024
No one does
the same as me
no one holds in their hearts
the vision, the hope
the same
as
me
We may be
all together
we may be travelling
on
similar journeys
But
no one does
whether hard or easy
the same path
the same
as
me.

Can You?
November 27, 2024
Can you be
someone I can count on
can you be?
My heart says
I hope so
but
can you?
Can you sacrifice
everything
for me?
Take what matters
make it be
all that I need
to become the person
I want to
that one
I need to be.
This I’m asking you
can you?
You that live
in my head, my heart
that one
that has always been
me.

Here Wondering
November 20, 2024
I sit here
wondering
delving deep inside
to
feel words
I need
to give and convey
love
gentleness
to all
that live in this
crazy
crazy world
today.
