Hold me still
Hold me tight
Let not the anger
Destroy
All the love
We share.
No, not tonight.

Hold Me Still

I Watch The Squirrels Fight
February 28, 2025
I watch the squirrels fight
edging out one another
for a place at the feeder
for
just another bite.
Sometimes
there’s a truce
Sometimes
a bitter fight
Sometimes
a lone squirrel
eats
til he feels suffice.
Birds keep their distance
stay out of the fight
they wait their turn
a time when
all others have had their fill
All’s quiet
No more anger
No more strife.

Never Can I Be
February 27, 2025
Never
can I be
the one you think
you love
The one
you want me
to be
Never
never will I be.

No More Will You Be
February 26, 2025
No more
will you
be
someone special
to me.
My feelings
will fade
my eyes won’t cry
my lips tasting
only
bitter replies.
My heart
though
will feel the same
loving you
forever
Forever My Love!
It will exclaim.

Looking Back

Looking back
Looking ahead
In between
I live
I live without dread.

I Need The Money
February 24, 2025
I need the money
I need
the fame.
That’s what I tell myself
in
the hour of vain.
Neither will accomplish
a happy journey
through life.
Only create heartache
anger
misery and strife.

Not Theirs
February 21, 2025My heart, my thoughts and prayers
are with Ukraine and their strong heroic people
in this battle
they are courageously fighting.
My heart aches
Seeing armies invade, taking land
Not theirs
Hearing cries, bombs
Flashing
Deadly lights
The world reels
As despots steal countries
Not theirs
They don’t care
If lives are lost, hearts broken
Life torn apart
Seek a way to stop
This annexation of what is
Not theirs
Please God
Please show me
Show me how today.

How Can I
February 20, 2025
How can I be something
I never should be?
How can I leave behind
all that has been good to me?
Where will I go?
What will I do?
No answers, only questions
I know
not
what to do.
