One word for nurture
same one for nature;
love; the great unifier.
Standing in
Your shadow
Not able to see
Or feel
The light
Source...
Sometimes
It's not so easy
To just
Move
Shelter Protect Shade... Conceal
Blame …  
deep and abiding
Praise …
a fleeting call
Infliction kills
affection shills
Their contrast
casts a pall

One …
a timeless burden
The other …
flits away
Tomorrow’s pain
all joy abstained
Entrapped
—where memories stay

(The New Room: December, 2023)
When times are sad
And times are hard
Smile and remember
The good times we had
But my heart still aches
with sadness for you
And secret tears still flow
Because I miss you and
it was so horrible to lose you.
Sadness 😔😦
Round and round
we go around . . .

Neither one up to the downside of the other

The moments don't matter as the seconds drag on

They drag us down the road to oblivion

The pavillion goes round and around like a carousel

. . . to Hell
She had a chest of drawers
Longings from ankle up
Paper chips of lips
A made up mind of shells and nuts

She was unceremoniously
civil
Quick to  wink
Hand chilling icebergs
An immitation belt made of mink

She sang blues in pink
While spitting out punk
Indifferent to age
Pure as road **** skunk

"It's my life , I'll do what I wanna!"
As they put her in Paddy
Drove her insanely station
"Come now my Laddie!"
