Puzzle

I never realized
How easy it could be
To lose yourself-

I stopped taking time for myself,
Gave myself to others,
Piece by piece.

Every time I put the puzzle back together,
Another piece was missing.
Or perhaps stolen.

One day I will no longer exist.

I allow myself to be a sinking stone-
Settling in the bottom of the sea,
Encompassed in darkness.

I wait for a tide
To bring me to shore-
But it never comes.

My Words

My words,
Like a whisper,
The world drowning them with noise.
Written on paper instead-
Where they may live forever.

I am made of quiet storms washing themselves away.

I was there

here I am now

nothing has changed

no 'somehow'



but the heart's purity

to which I bow

love draws us closer

l'll never let you down
*. this is a true story. The couple's photo appeared in Linkedin. They are young.
She was very beautiful as shown in the photo before the accident. The young man is handsome. When we truly love, nothing will ever stand in our way. It's the whole person we love, not just his or her look.  I am deeply touched by their story and wish them every happiness.

Oh darling do you know what that's worth?
It's a shame we're a match made in heaven,
But we were on Earth.

I see better

when I walk away

from the self

I was yesterday
We stand inside
Stale air compartments
That we call apartments
Because we feel alone here

We spend our time
Earning daily bread
Feeding the constant dread
That wants to consume you

We see our lives
Plastered on screens
The eyes of machines
Ever watching us

We rip ourselves
From empty seats
Walking crowded streets
To find a sense of purpose

Universe Poems
Take us back,
you can't do that,
living in the now
Pessimistic living feeling down
Optimistic worry round
Now is the time,
to live in full surround,
Including sound
