starlight,
star bright
the sun is awfully
dim tonight
i wish i may
i wish i might
don’t let the darkness
quench my light.
MY LIFE HAS BECOME REALLY SLOW,
ONCE RETIRED, NOWHERE TO GO,
ALL MY FRIENDS ARE LONG GONE,
HERE I AM SITTING ALL ALONE,
I AM HARD OF HEARING' PLEASE DON'T YELL,
I HAVE NOT BEEN TO SUCH A NEGLECTFUL SPELL,
IN MY ROOM VERY OFTEN I CRY AND WEEP,
I AM NOT THE KIND TO JUST EAT AND SLEEP,
GIVE ME A LITTLE SPACE, I WILL NOT CREATE MESS,
BELIEVE ME, MY DEAR, I AM NOT TOTALLY USELESS,
I DON'T WANT TO BE A BURDEN, ANY SORT OF TENSION,
I JUST NEED RESPECT, YOU TAKE ALL MY PENSION !!

Don't look back in regret

You'll trip and fall too hard

into the future.
Just wrote this as a comment to someone's poem and decided I rather like it. :-)
ೋღ❤ღೋೋღ❤ღೋ

Walking down a wooded path
tall flowing trees all around,
I came upon the river’s edge
and sat down on the ground.

Sitting at the edge of the river
I stare at its ongoing flow,
I start to give it all my pain
a release with each little throw.

My hardest pain is fear
that I’ve had from so long ago,
of never feeling good enough
that’s dulled my inner glow.

It eats at me like a cancer
each and every day,
the fear of never being good enough
and again being thrown away.

Years of disappointment and abuse
only being property, nothing to love,
but always trying to make things right
so everyone else could rise above.

I throw this fear out into the river
sit back and watch it pass slowly by,
I wrap my arms around myself
feel the release, let myself cry.

I throw out all the other pains
betrayal, heartache, loneliness and more,
I watch them drift gently way
these last tears will be left on this river shore.

Noticing as each and every pain
slowly floats down the river away,
I observe at a distance
as they fade into the suns sparkling rays.

Walking down a wooded path
tall flowing trees all around,
I came upon the river’s edge
and was surprised at what I found.


And ever onward shall we strive
and from the circle peace derive.
The sea in robes of mossy green
and blues the eye has never seen...
In grays that mock the stormy sky
and depths that hold the tears gone by....


A sweet release we give our heart
from pain of past that tore apart,
relief that only one can find
when hearts we let, become unconfined,
to leave behind those stormy skies
letting self-love baptize…


A tide of tears resides within
and waits to overflow.
i greet with a smiling face
so others will not know.

How feeble is this masquerade.
Transparent are the games.
Emotions should be given room
without the chides and blames.

The time will come to open up
and let the dam release...
my will, the pressure stop.
my soul will be at peace.

Weep when grief prescribes.
Laugh for humor's sake.
Love with everything you have
and forgive, all your mistakes.

baby it’s winter
but you always make my heart
feels like it’s summer
the heat of your love..

there is a beautiful boy -
the tooth peeking out from between his lips when he smiles, face split into two by a large grin,
you fighting the urge to press your fingers to his throat when he laughs, trace lines down his throat to feel the way he speaks,
watch the way his muscles move, all sinew and flesh and you want nothing more than for him to wrap them around you,
the way warmth washes over you in waves, waves pooling in your gut into your fingertips,
the way he clumsily moves his hands to talk to you, and you teach him how to curl his fingers and flick his wrists, if only for an excuse to hold them,
putting your hand above his heart with you dancing along to the beat,
the tapping on his wrists morse code for i love you,
tap tap tap - i love you i love you i love you,
the tapping on your cheek morse code for i love you too.
indak (v.) - to dance in time with the music
