I wish you could understand how I feel
Realize that emotions aren't something I conceal
Although we've been together awhile
Can't quite pinpoint what makes you smile

I do not enjoy being misunderstood
What in my life has ever been good?
Tell myself I wasn't hurt before
But I have suffered a broken heart and more

I've changed, I'll never be the same
At least I know how to play life's game
I just want to learn and discover your past
So we actually make this last

So turn around and do not peek

I'll flee and I'll go and hide some place cold, dark, and alone,

When the count down ends, it is your choice, but choose quickly before my patience turns to stone

Will you look and search no matter how long it takes to set my hiding  place free?

Indeed I Will Hide...But Who Will Go And Seek For Me?
Just a poem I thought about thanks for a few of my friends

Little kitty, how do you do it?
You tickle me so, like you knew it,
Like  you knew that turn of head
Would drag me right out of my bed
To come play with you with string
And a whiffle ball and most anything
That dangles or wobbles and bounces
So you can prepare for a grand pounce.

You delight me, little cat, immensely
And I am quite sure that eventually
You’ll grow into being a lazy cat
To fat to fight, or play or even spat.
But you’re a kitty now and there are
Kitty fairies around like falling stars
Ready for you to be very wary of
And for me to wish upon with love.

Yes, little kitty, you are the true star
In the heaven of my life now, you are
What I miss when I go to work, and
When I return just as I planned
There you are, yawning from a nap
Ready to crawl into my welcoming lap
And ready to play a little bit more or
To just go back to sleep and kitty snore.

Left headphone

We walk hand in hand,
Stride after stride,
Slapping on the cement
To the sound of the song.

We stood there content,
Sharing an iced coffee,
And a heart,
Beating in perfect harmony.

But my playlist changed,
From pop anthems to the blues,
And  two straws turned to one,
And I faced the music.

But now I put my left ear bud in,
it doesn’t seem to fit,
Because it once belonged to someone,
Who doesn’t want to listen anymore

Go ahead
undress your mind
my eyes
can't wait
to see ...
my skin
can't wait
to feel
and my
mind can't
wait to
play

They stop our breathe
Tempting to stay live
Opponent is closer

Win or loss
Spectacle of trust
Cheering for a team

We want to win
Together,
We want to win

Let them move
Let them sweat
Let them strike

Here the game is on
Go… Go... Go… Goal….
Oh Yes, dilated eyes

We won, they lost
Fair play
See you on the next day

Blessed are the father-hearted
The reluctant to be child parted
Blessed are the bushy bearded
The happy to be pulled and smearded

Blessed are the on-all-fours
The role-players with scary roars
Blessed are the rollers on floors
The willing to ignore both knee-sores

Blessed are the hearty laughers
The bellows of the not by half-ers
Blessed are the childlike fathers
And happy the children who follow soon after
May your fathers be child like in their love of life with you.  May your fathering be free of self consciousness and full of laughter.
