Silence
MT Browder Oct 2020
I wait for
a sound
a gaze
a hi
a walk by with side eye
because your silence
is deafening
102 · Oct 2023
your side
MT Browder Oct 2023
i choose the side of love, the side of forgiveness, the side of light, the side of truth, the side of hugs, the side of kindness, the side of acceptance, the space between your side and mine

how
MT Browder Oct 2022
how
If we only live in the present
and the past and future doesn't exist
how can I ***** up so **** often?

your loss
MT Browder Mar 2022
you want me to say it
but you don't
you want me to do it
but you don't
you need me
but you don't
you don't
and it's your loss

I'll do better
MT Browder Oct 2020
I'm a puzzle missing a piece or two
The pebble in your shoe
The bad wheel on your cart
The lawn mower that won't start
The faucet with a drip drip drip
The super hot coffee sip
The money you borrow
I'll do better tomorrow

You fill my empty places
MT Browder Dec 2019
You happy my sad
You calm my mad
You soothe my pain
You profit no gain
You strengthen my weak
You listen when I speak
You warm my cold
You comfort my soul
You light my dark spaces
You fill my empty places
101 · Oct 2019
Me
MT Browder Oct 2019
Me
I've got a little place
close to my heart
I keep people there
but only their best part

I only take their best things
the bad, just pass on by
I don't always know what I'm taking
and don't always know why

They stay in that place
and I hope they get along
cause they will be there
until I am gone

I think they get blended
into this thing you see
I think they get blended
into this thing called me

Rest
MT Browder Jun 2020
Searching searching for a place to rest
This chaos weighs heavy on my chest
Love will find a place of peace
No triggers no hate speech
Is it too far to reach
Rest I beseech, and love I preach

hug
MT Browder Oct 2022
hug
I can't really hug you
with words I spew
or given font or style
is only words on file
open your mind's arms wide
set your perceptions aside
fill you heart with caring
energize your intent with sharing
now with warm and soft embrace
hug with pure love's grace
I love you all
I love all of you!

Hope
MT Browder Jan 2023
Expectations are previews of events that rarely happen...Hope leaves room for improvement
98 · Oct 2021
all of the above
MT Browder Oct 2021
mother's strength
where does it come
who knows where from
a great storm of the past
a hard road traveled fast
a spirit that does not fade
a smile that must be made
a stern voice, required indeed
a caring hug for the need
a vision of potential
a straighten-up gaze...essential
a tear held from fall
a prayer over each and all
a giving heart of endless love
God provided...all of the above
98 · Jan 2024
hands
MT Browder Jan 2024
tiny hand
grabbing a finger while feeding
small hand helping turn page
story reading
scared hand grip tight crossing street teaching hands putting
school shoes on nervous feet
cheering hands for the brave
confident soul
waving hands for the loved
leaving the fold
holding hands
tears come fast
through cold bed rails
for the last

you know
MT Browder Sep 2023
it is much better in being right about being wrong than being wrong about being right

funnel
MT Browder Apr 14
vengefulness is the funnel that evil uses to fill the heart

banned
MT Browder Jul 2023
WORDS punch harder than fist
stab deeper than knives
crush hopes and dreams
make up 100p of the lies
maybe they should be banned
91 · Aug 2023
short
MT Browder Aug 2023
short on bread
to the market
fill your cart
short on cash
to the bank
make a new start
short on love
withdraw all you want
from my heart
88 · Oct 2021
forgiveness
MT Browder Oct 2021
I'm truly just super nice
and I pay the price
I'm blessed with generosity
without reciprocity
I hold no malice
with your ego palace
and in the end
you are still my friend

free lunch
MT Browder Oct 2020
My heart is a free meal, eat it up and drink it in or spit it out with an evil grin

let downs
MT Browder Aug 2023
animals dream... but, hopes and dreams are purely a human condition, how much happier would we be without the let downs
86 · Sep 2023
H x 2
MT Browder Sep 2023
happiness for the vengeful is added from the suffering of another, turning a cheek reduces suffering by half, add love to both sides of the equation and happiness is doubled and suffering equals zero

Seeds
MT Browder Apr 2020
Your hurtful words root deep in my mind
The hate and resent strangle and wind
Love's seed struggles to sprout
Searching to breathe, for a way out
Fighting against the belittling assaults
That blames and forever sees faults
My blooms find the warm light
Grows and chokes your evil blight
84 · Oct 2022
vino
MT Browder Oct 2022
suppose we were as wine
differences, yours and mine
confidence of a Cab strong
seductive as Muscat's song
Merlot's slight temper swings
the warmth Shiraz brings
Pinot's finicky fickle mood
and Zinf's friendly attitude
Malbec's soft kiss on the cheek
Tempra's velvet dress so sleek
Chard always has a smile
Sauvi is forever in style

pride
MT Browder Oct 2022
If you pride yourself on being an *******
you have a lot to be proud of

tigress
MT Browder Sep 2020
your memory hunts me like
the                                         hungry
tigress  ­                                 creeping
through                ­                the
tall                                         ­grass
silent                                     invisible
care--­-ful---ly                       stepping
eyes                    ­                   focused
claws hold and fangs stab
then the words of the love song bleed warm from my neck
80 · Sep 2020
Needs
MT Browder Sep 2020
Love doesn't need
sight or sound
soft touch or seed in ground
the finest waft of smell
or coolest water from well
kind words or smiles fake
it only needs removal of hate

MT Browder Apr 22
i'm wrong about everything
i'm the king of wrong
but when it comes to you
everything is different

filters
MT Browder Apr 26
filter your mind
from evil thoughts
filter your eyes
from seeing faults
filter your ears
from hearing assaults
filter your mouth
from throwing salts
