You can’t hear me
I know
you can’t
Still I call
I call
and
all of that
Someday you may
someday
we’ll have met
Until
that time
feel free to listen
and
call me back.

You Can’t Hear Me
September 29, 2025
Maybe Tomorrow
September 26, 2025
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe
Another day
Maybe it’ll feel like forever
In the way you feel
Today.
But
Your end will come
In a moment
Or
It may have come
Yesterday.
Your purpose, your mission
Is
To live each moment
Each day
With joy and happiness.
So
When you close your eyes
For forever
You’ll smile
And
You’ll say
“That was fun
That was, a good day!”

Weep
September 23, 2025
You heard me cry
you saw me
weep
Still
all remained the same
No
holding love secure
No
wiping away
tears
That
my eyes do
weep.

Colour Not Your Heart
September 22, 2025
Colour not your heart
leave it
pure
leave it free
living life as directed
by
the souls of eternity.

Terrible Things
September 19, 2025
Terrible things have happened
Terrible things
Terrible things live
Exist.
We must live
Trying
Not to harbour
But
Eliminate
Those terrible things.
Not hear, feel
Allow
Those awful
Awful
Terrible things.

My Heart Does Cry
September 18, 2025
My heart does cry
my lips moan
you are lost
gone
from here
I’m
all alone
May tomorrow
bring
love’s delights
but
til that time
I’ll remember
all
you gave
throughout
this sad, long night.

No More
September 17, 2025
No more will I be
the one
who saves you
always full of courtesy
No more will I be
the one
who laughs
dances to a silly song
no more
No more will I be
the one
who helps you up
cradles a ailing, sickly little pup
no
no more
No more
will I be that one
For you see
you have come to me
you have made
me see
I don’t need to do
all that
Cause it’s you
now
doing all this
for me.

My Heart Bleeds
September 16, 2025
My heart bleeds
my eyes
do cry
everything in between
is
start to live
end with
die.
No words will hold you up
no words
take you down
only your mind
can
conquer
what keeps you
constrained
what keeps you bound.
Freedom is yours
freedom
in
life
start to live
is
my advice.

No More To Say
September 15, 2025
No more to say
no more
to
do
Basking
in
sunshine
Having a drink
maybe
two.

Don’t Tell Me
September 12, 2025
Don’t tell me
I must be the same
same as you, not me.
Don’t tell me
my beating heart
doesn’t count.
Don’t tell me
my thoughts are just lies.
Don’t tell me
the tears I weep will never
bring back ones lost.
Don’t tell me this
I ask of you
I plead, I cry.
