Shamai Dec 2020
Sleep eludes me
I toss and turn
And close my eyes
And still
Sleep
Doesn’t come
I throw away
The pain of yesterday
And calm the nerves
That prepare me
For tomorrow
And still
Sleep
Doesn’t come
And
I lay
Awake
Thinking
Of
Sleep
Shamai Dec 2020
The longing deepens
And the craving
Begins
The gut wrenching feeling
Of needing someone so badly
That nothing else matters
And all my resolve
Goes
Down
The
drain
Shamai Dec 2020
You know
How really alone you are
When your world
Is falling apart
And
You have no one
To call
Shamai Nov 2020
Friends are those
Who want to share
They show us love
And how they care
They listen to stories
And all our woes
They exercise with us
And touch their toes
We know their near by
Because they stay close
And even from far
They never boast
They never judge us
Or make us feel bad
And they allow us to be happy
And sometimes to be sad
A friend is a friend
Who our secrets will keep
When we stay up real late
They won’t fall asleep
We can giggle and talk
And still want more
From far away
Or just next door
We may not talk
For a long long time
When we finally meet up
We are partners in crime
So what is a friend
You may still ask
It’s a person who’s transparent
Without any mask
Shamai Nov 2020
Deep within me
Is a hunger
A lust for life
An inability
To accept anything
Less than
Love
I stand
At the doorway
Of coming of age
And wonder
Why love
True love
Seems to elude me
I long for the permanence of life love
And
The only One I can get that from
Is
God
Shamai Nov 2020
Its true
That
Like most girls
Who fall in love
I have become
Gaga

What does that mean
That I
Eat, sleep, dream
Through the filter
Of that love
That the sun rises and sets
On his demeanor
That all I think about
His him
And that
I can’t live
Without
His Love
Shamai Nov 2020
He lies in bed
Eyes closed
A gentle purr upon his lips
A dreamy look
In his demeanor
A loving glance
In his rest
And I know
At once
That I’m
In love
