No time for mourning
The start of the day

The start of what it will become
And it's outcomes

Taking a deep breath to fill the lungs
Getting ready for the things that you will have to overcome

And not run from
The everyday humdrum

Never playing dumb
Not living the day numb

The morning
How could you think of it boring

When it is life dawning
It is the world and life performing

In it's yawning
Quietly, without alarming

For now always returning
The morning

My fear
Of no one ever loving me again
Love is something everyone needs
Including me
This is not a poor me
Just something about me
You see, there is no difference in me
My heart as well bleeds
I should take the lead
Then vulnerable I would be
Something I cannot be
I have been there you see
And
It just about destroyed me
That need
That is what stops me, to proceed
I have learned how and became content with
it just being me
Caused by my one true love leaving me
Because there was something else that they needed
Unfortunately that need was not me
Believe me I did not agree  
I have no trust left in me
Nor love to give from me
So my fear has become my reality
I am lying here in bed
With no one next to me
Of course I have the fly byes
But
No one that I can look deep into their eyes
No prize
Maybe I should try
But then why should I lie
I have never been able to forget
or forgive

My fear
Is really not being able to love
again

At the first hello
I do not know
Is that when it starts to grow
Or
When you start to feel alone
When there is an empty space
When you cannot see the others face
When you stumble and fall
When you announce it to all
When you are away
When you decide to stay
When you kiss goodbye
When eyes meet eyes
When you know there are no lies
and
No one cries
When you both watch the sunrise
When there are no more goodbyes
Or
When there is no end
When two souls blend
When you do not pretend
Or
When they become your best friend
!!
Love begins
Mark Tilford May 2016
Writing, I thought I would never miss
But when I am doing it I am in some sort of bliss
Corny I know, almost better then a kiss
So what if it goes amiss
And
People dis  
Try correcting a kiss
Some may resist  
That would be the pits
Writings you can correct this
On this
In this
Of this
And make it more crisp
So with this
I have missed your work
And the network
All the fine artwork
I hope you have missed mine
It was not all that fine
But they are mine
None that would make the headlines
But still just the same I am proud of mine
Never trying to outshine
Some with a crazy punch line
Some with very short lines
Some even on the borderline
Some I guess I should have drawled the line
But genuine

I am glad to be back
To enjoy yours and mine
!!

Absolutely get undressed
Lets get a little fresh

Yes !!
Of course you are the best
Why would you second guess

Yes!!
There is no need to process and process
Don't make things a mess

Yes !!
You are exactly what I need
You  make me drop to my knees

Yes!!
Everything is alright
I don't want to fight

Yes!!
You need to be a little more secure
Be a little more sure

You need to be a little more mature
Stop being so immature

You play way to many games
You need to stop with the nasty names

Yes!!
It is your claim to fame
I am the one you blame

Your being  so lame

No matter what, I love you everyday
Even though you make me pay

Yes!!
I want you to get undressed
So we can get a little fresh
Shh!

Keeping your secrets
Can be pretty tricky
Sticky!!

Hiding those hickey's
And those quickies

With  guys named Rickey
and Dicky

With woman  named Niki
  And
Mickie

Sneaky!!
Cheesy!!

So easy!!
So ******!!

Seedy!!
On the other hand how dreamy

And very steamy
Kind of fun being sneaky

Not so creepy
Love it deeply

Nothing wrong with briefly
getting freaky

Just do it discreetly
Then it want be so

TRICKY
!!

Looking at a blank screen
With a cigarette hanging from my mouth
As I inhale
I am hoping for the words
or a subject to write
Trying to keep it lite
Wanting something to trend
With words that will blend
Nothing about a girlfriend
Nothing about a boyfriend
Nothing that I would have to amend
Nothing that will offend
Something that everyone can comprehend
I don't think I should write about my wild weekend
or
My girlfriends tight end
I guess it will depend
If the words come
And
From where,
my dark side or my light side or my funny side
or my **** side, or my deep side , or from my romantic side
Maybe from my perverted side  
Poet's, how do we decide ?

Where do our words and  subjects come from??
We all have so many different sides

!!
Our words are nothing we hide
Then why can't I decide
??
