Hiding still
holding my love
in
my arms, my hands.
Facing the strange, challenging
world
hearts intertwined
hands clasped
in
a loving grip
only
we can understand.

No More
September 3, 2024
No more can I be
the one you trust
me to be.
No more can I say
those words you need
to hear today.
No more will I be
someone you can rely on
me to be.
No more, no more
will I be.

With All That Happens
August 29, 2024
With all that happens
the sky stays blue
the earth
a golden brown
leaves of trees
wave
in the wind
and
I
I begin to live
all over
once again.

Let Me Be
August 28, 2024
Let me be
Not so angry
Full of fury
Let me be
Kind and generous
Only
Full of courtesy
That’s what I need
Please
Let me be.

Lonely And All Alone
August 27, 2024
Lonely and all alone
I stand at the entrance
wondering
wondering should I go in
or
stay here
Lonely and all alone.

No More
August 26, 2024
No more can I say
the words
I know
you want me to
All those words
you want to hear again
once more
today
Yesterday, the day before
they were what I felt
you needed
But
not
no more, not today.

The Rain Hides My Tears
August 23, 2024
The rain hides my tears
The sun soothes my fears
My heart knows
This too shall pass
But
In the meantime
It lasts, it lasts.

Let Me Be
August 22, 2024
Let me, let me be
at peace
quiet, silent
not asking anything
Let me, let me be
happy and carefree
Let me be.

Joy Will Come
August 21, 2024
Joy will come
happiness will be
then I’ll see
all the world wants me
to be.
No one left behind
no one crying
for we are all together
now and forever
til the end of eternity.

A Sweet, Loving, Kind Human Being
August 20, 2024
No more can I be
a sweet, loving, kind human being
Nothing is the same
nothing will be as it once was
when I was
a sweet, loving, kind, human being
Rage enrages, angers me
can’t see my way out
of this hopeless catastrophe
That’s what my life
seems to be
nothing like before
when I was
a sweet, loving, kind, human being.
