for now;

i smile for now;

we hang out for awhile

just on the couch

        no white forests, no cute chocolate boxed romances

        no notes, all smiles and all pearly white teeth

                                with less words and letting hours elongate

                silent stares, you let me know you've fallen

                        in love with        my        lips

and         for one, i think i        am just fine with        that

        before yesterday becomes the same as tomorrow

                i think i'm okay with you and i

                                        for now;

sorry i havent posted in foreverrr

Keep the Faith - KTF.

Keep the Faith - KTF.

It has been years in the making - and yea!
Our hearts will have more breaking
And our lives - privy to even more shaking
but the prize will be ours for the taking!

On a ship tossed by sea and storm
With words from one another to keep us warm
Our course will not be easy ~ not the norm
But like steel in such fires our bond shall form.

So hoist up our flag ~ to each other betrothed
Look to the future; for our pasts shall bestow
All the lessons we need to see our love grow
~ guiding the way for a bonding of souls.

"Keep the faith!" shall be our battle cry
Before us those lacking ~ their hearts now do lie
For success is found in the try and try
and an unshakable belief in the You and I.

Faith in love of one another will help us to overcome trials and tribulations

Screaming

Jul 2015 Ana Sweeney

Someone

Screaming

What are you to do?

When your screams are not heard?

Your lungs burn.
Your head is pulsating.
You feel your vocal chords shredding.
It hurts to breathe or speak.
Tears streaming from your eyes and down your cheeks.

A cry for help.
As loud as you can make it.

They look at you.
They look into your big pooled eyes and say nothing.
Just stare.

Can they not see or hear the desperation in your eyes and voice?
Can they not see and hear how much you're hurting?
Can they not see and hear how you feel as if you're dying?

Or do they just choose not too see?
Just like they choose not to hear your screams.

No one can say you never tried to ask for help.
No one can say that you didn't try hard enough.

You lay there and feel helpless.
Like you're dying.

Years later you still have nightmares about it.
It still makes you cry.
Alone.

So what are you to do?

When your screams are not heard.

Heart pumps

I couldn't have stopped, my love
even if I’d wanted to;
I wouldn't have stopped, my love
even if I'd foreseen the consequence.

My darling, being with you -
truly took me to a higher dimension;
a pleasure that engulfed my eyes,
a once in a lifetime kind of pleasure

Making love,
on our honeymoon bed of silk
- who knew I had a weak heart...

Baby,
I'm sorry I died on your best day of charms

But I am glad I went like this,
forever cradled
in your loving arms...

Tea

Wallace Stevens

Tea

When the elephant's-ear in the park
Shrivelled in frost,
And the leaves on the paths
Ran like rats,
Your lamp-light fell
On shining pillows,
Of sea-shades and sky-shades,
Like umbrellas in Java.

Quiescent

Nevermind

Quiescent

Bathing in moonlight
Drenched in fatigue
Ready to surrender
Consciousness to sleep
Pastel skies
Stretch across vast seas
Stresses of existence
Long since relieved
Possibilities endless
Rolling waves transgress
Lost within
A beautiful nothing

Don't Give Up/Don't Give In

Don't Give Up/Don't Give In

When your mind is shattered
Your eyes are blinded
There is pain everywhere
you go
Don't give up and
Don't give in

When the wheel of fortune
is stuck at 6
No hope remains
Don't give up
Don't give in
Noon will be coming around
again

When loneliness is
your only friend
and
it keeps calling you names
Don't give up
and
Don't give in

There are times
when life is
ablaze with horrors
but
Don't give up
and Don't give in

Those that survive
are those that find meaning
those that passively
take to their bed
are bound
to
perish
Don't give up
Don't give in

When the law's
got your name
and no payment can be
made
and
you have to go
along with their plans
that have been laid,
Inside, where you hide
Don't give up and
Don't give in.

Time only stops
once
Don't give up
Don't give in.
