Time will slip away.
On promises made in haste,
precious life we waste.
If you lack of experience
prevents you from thinking broadly

If you lack thought, you can't act
deeply

If you don't keep poetry close, you won't have enough
to live

A life without lack is
the most lacking life.
Loud as the rumbling thunder
My love roar with pride
Never ashamed of it’s power
I give it to those who needs it

Strong as a tidal wave
My love embraces with care
Healing wounds of the past
Tending to those in pain

Glowing like a lighthouse
Calling those who hunger for love
To safety in my light
Always protecting
Nathan 1d
In silence, I carried a sin
passed down to meβ€”
a curse unbroken,
paid for in full
just to be loved
by someone
who never truly belonged to anyone.

It’s eating me alive,
like a parasite
draining the last light from my bones.
It clings,
slowly killing me
for a mistake
I never made.

I feel like a lost lamb,
wandering the abyss,
blindfolded
by the sharp remorse
that was never mine to carry.

For a moment,
I exist in a world
that never noticed I was hereβ€”
like a forget-me-not,
wilted by the road,
meant to symbolize
a love that died
before it was remembered.

And all this guilt...
the pain...
the suffering...

I shall bear itβ€”
until it carves blood from my soul,
and follows me
into the grave’s dark cradle.
explores inherited guilt, emotional pain, and silent suffering,
which is i felt this month
ps: my mind keeps buzzing me off, and i have to express it to something that trully represent it:)
there are ditches to be dug ,
shingles to be nailed , repairs on the silver rail ,
grass to be cut ,
trailers to be chocked and loaded ,
motors waiting to be rebuilt ,
grain to be milled ,
hot asphalt ready to be laid -
in the summer swelter
the Sawyer tends to his cutting-
machines regardless of the weather .
an eye to the Ploughman with a hard look-
at his mechanical possessions ..
sing an ode to the Cooper , the Cobbler -
and the Brakeman ..
The Carpenter , the Bricklayer and the Baker ...
