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.

Trying To Be
January 1, 2025
Trying to remember
trying to be
the best
I can possibly be
Living with
No remorse, no sadness
no
not for me
For I will show
the sweet, the lovely
only that
that part of me.

No More Can I
December 30, 2024
No more can I
say
sweet words
that could make your day
No more will I be
the one
who rescues
does what needs to be
No more can I see
my way
to
happiness and cordiality
No more
are
the only words
that say my feelings.

Holding On, Holding Tight
December 20, 2024
Holding on, holding tight
Trying desperately to make it
Thru the day into night.
No one to help, no one to say
Words of wisdom
Nothing on this day.
Where will I be, what will I say
In a world where I’m on my own
For today.

Me
December 19, 2024
No one can
know
the secrets hidden
deep
inside
of
me.
No one can see
the danger
lurking
threatening you
me.
No one will be helping
standing
there beside
of
me.
This I know
this I see
and
will accept
in spite of all
you may be
telling
me.

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.
