1.
An endless sea,
sailing ships—
which to board?

Some sail to fortune,
some drift to storm.
I wait by the shore,
watching sails pass by.

2.
The wind moves me,
the storm pushes me,
the waves carry me
through an endless sea.

I would adjust my sails,
but I know no shore.
here,they think i am
thrown-in with their holiday
or they sit around the corner
and wait,patiently..

this saves on travel and tickets etc..
so that is for today
but what of the future
something new tomorrow..?!

Reading my poems -
Am I a good poet?
Am I a poet?
~for no one in particular, just you~

this red thing, surely very surly,
deserves a poem all its owny,
what you see when you saw it,
& the cat's curiosity got thy better,
gotta check it out for it is
obviously excessively
wordy,
but what could it mean?

and the ear bud always intervenes,
(you-know-who-is-always-eavesdropping)
provides a 'reddy' answer:

If I Ever Fall in Love
Song by Pentatonix ‧ 2015


The very first time
That I saw your brown eyes
Your lips said hello
And I said hi
I knew right then you were the one
But I was caught up
In physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby you were more than just a phase
And if I ever (ever fall) in love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever (ever fall) in love so true (true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
I swear next time she'll be a friend
If I say that I can be your one and only
Promise that you'll never leave me lonely
I just wanna be the one you need
I just wanna be the one who serves you
Sometime I feel as if I don't deserve you
I cherish every moment that we share
And if I ever (ever fall) in love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever (ever fall) in love so true (true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
Very next time she'll be my friend
Someone who I can believe in
(My friend)
Very next time she'll be my friend
Someone who I can believe in
(My friend)
Very next time she'll be my friend
Someone who I can believe in
Very next time she'll be my friend
And if I ever (ever fall) in love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever (ever fall) in love so true (true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you

**and folks,
that's!
what ❤️'s
are all about
Sitting in a hidden corner
Quietly disappearing
Back tight against the wall
Melting into it
Almost oblivious to the world
Trying to become like a vapor
Translucent
Uncomfortable
Watchful
Like a cat
Eyes wide open
Ready to run
Anticipating
Sitting in a hidden corner
Disappearing from the world
The weight still lingers, burdens remain.  
Years of giving, silent, unclaimed.  
Not greed, just kindness I implore  
A touch to heal, restore once more.  

Soft hands to soothe this aching tide,  
Yet empty space is what’s supplied.  
The smallest ask, a tender plea,  
Too vast a world to give to me.
I wish I knew how to make it stop, the pain i feel in my heart,
What can I use to keep it together? My life is falling apart,
I'm scared to sleep cause when I do i have these crazy dreams,
,In them i struggle to catch my breath and no one to help me it seems,
And when I finally can wake up it's hard to get out of bed,
All my energy has been ****** dry so I  go back to sleep instead,
I have gone through this, so many times it's costed me alot,
I've lost my job for not showing up and mycar that I had just bought,
I got a notice on my door saying I can't live here nomore,
How can it get worse i try to think how , what next does fate have in store,
I feel so overwhelmed I'm lying on the floor in a ball uncontrollably crying,
I hear my phone ring and when I pick up, my doctor tells me I'm dying,
I throw my phone at the wall and it breaks and then I start to break too,
Why is this happening and all very quick, god tell me what did I do,
I went to church since I was a kid and prayed everynight before bed,
I know many people who do so much bad ,why can't it be them instead,
On weekends I would take food to give to the poor on christmas give gifts for the kids
Im trying to search through my whole life but cant find what i have did
Ive been in pain for a year my body and heart ,my life now not much remains,
I have gone through so much I gave faith my mind now I'm going insane
I'm done putting my self in hands that ain't there and done trusting faith with my health
All the time that I wasted trusting my life to faith I even gave it my wealth .
I know now that if there's a chance for me to survive I have to have faith In just me ,
Cause no one will love me as much as I do I hope it's not to late we will see.
