"If you think it, it's yours"
Hopeful

I tried to seal the wound within
But it just wouldn’t heal
The stitches at seams
Are worn and frayed
Touched by the gentle wind
Tender still
The pain numbed deep within
Some poems seem to write
themselves;
I just move the pen.
Others are like lumps
of clay;
they refuse to be molded;
they need moisture and time.
This one is like
a robin that just learned
to use its wings.
It heads west, on a
gentle breeze, into
a tangerine sky.

Here is a link to my YouTube channel where I read my poetry from my latest book, Sleep Always Calls.  It is available on Amazon.  The latest video I did is a poetry reading at the Clear Lake Public Library.
Even in free summers,
I shiver with the cold of winters
in the corner of my room.

Even in sparkling spring,
I taste the loneliness of autumn
in the corner of my room.

Even in bright festivals,
I drown in dullness
in the corner of my room.

Even in a room full of living people,
I am dead........
in the corner of my room.
Turning my frustrations into poem
A white light slipped into my dark room.
I felt its presence,
warm, inviting.

I moved closer,
but it was only a reflection
in a mirror of passing metal.

Was the light even there?
or it was just an illusion?
Is everything an illusion now??
