Tenderness is such a wondrous thing
It brings us close and it brings us things
Best of all it brings us love.
Tenderness is a wondrous thing.

Tenderness Is
April 1, 2016
I Didn’t Know, I Don’t Know
March 29, 2016
I didn’t know, I don’t know
How it would go
Could I reframe
From
Laughing, smiling or crying
Hold it close
Or
Let it go
Take a step to the left or
Move
Back to the right
Turn
Go anywhere
But does it seem right
Cause
I didn’t know, I don’t know.

When I Think About It
March 2, 2016
When I think about it
I can’t stay
In the realm of
Yesterday.
Move away, move away
From the thoughts, the times
Lived yesterday
Yesterday.

Never Knew You
February 3, 2016Never knew you
Nor did you know me
Together, we’ve travelled
Far into destiny.
Arriving home
No more worst for wear
Still holding
To thoughts of each other
Not true
But do we even care.

I Am The One
February 2, 2016
I am the one
That’s best to live
This life I’ve lived
Since life did start
To tick
Within my chest
My heart.

Never, Nothing To Regret
January 26, 2016
Never, nothing to regret
Got only that which
I need to get
A heart cold, burdened down
Opens up and warms
With kindness shown around.
Never, nothing to regret
The world will come
Bringing all I can reach
And need to get
Sharing too
With those less fortunate.
A smile does it all
Believe
With never, nothing to regret
You’ll receive all you want
And need to get.

Tell Me
January 20, 2016
Tell me
Tell me why
Don’t mince the words
You can
Put them all out
And tell me why.
Maybe cushion the bitter
Filter the kind
But
Don’t agonize or design
Just tell me
Tell me why.

Tortured Souls Hear The Pain
January 15, 2016
Tortured souls hear the pain
Nothing in it, all in vain
Climbing out, out from pain
Crucial not to be flushed
Down the drain.
Melody running in my head
Ponder what I really dread
Muster forth the power said
Rock all that fuels
This in my head.

Tender Mercies
January 13, 2016
Tender mercies
Tender thoughts
Bringing me gladness
Bringing me thoughts.
Soft and gentle
Full
Of what I have
Not what I have not.
Tender mercies
Tender thoughts
Resting peacefully
Here in my thoughts.

Write My Words
January 4, 2016Write my words
Get them out
To the world and throughout
The meadow, stream or a skunk
If he cares to listen, tho I doubt.
My words will be
Ones I need to say
Not rambling
In a narcissistic way.
Meaning something
Felt and heard
Lasting maybe
On tongues that have heard.
Hear them now
Listen close
I’ll whisper softly
The ones you need the most.
