Deep down
I know I tried
deep down
I know

Deep down
Inside
something stirs
an emotion
a feeling
unheard

Deep down
unseen
I feel
a need

Deep down
a hollow
emptiness
loss

What is this
deep down inside

Is love
everything
Is love all we need
Is love
What it seems

Does love
give us happiness
or is it
just a fantasy
we need to believe

Tell me
is love real
does it heal
can it be defined

What does it mean
Can it be felt
Or reinvent
or maybe a consequent

Love is a word
but with no meaning
But it can be felt
a warmth
a nourishment

What is love ?
Sheila Stafford Oct 2024
To look
and see what beauty
is all around me

A flower
or tree
clouds moving
so slowly
above me

Water flowing
birds cheeping
the wind freely blowing
water droplets glowing

Just look and see

Do you know
how much I cared
Did you know
the love I shared
Did you know
I was even there
Did you know ?

Where are you
someone says you’ve gone
to spirt
I want to say good bye

Where are you
please let me know
your ok
because I cry

Where are you
did you know
that I cared
about you

Where are you
maybe I will see you
in my dreams
dancing smiling
are you happy now

Where are you
you will always
be with me
in my heart
and my soul

forever

Who are we

Oh what a strange world
we are living  in
an inverse affect it has on us all
don’t forget your mask

Different colours
designs and fabric
do they have an adverse
effect  
on who we are ?

I made my mask
It’s indigo
I love that colour
what’s more
I’m going rent a stall
and sell some more

Is it
too late
to debate
can we relate

Where are we
the me
that used to be
so strong

Now weakened
and alone
no bone
where is home

Will we ever be
and see
who we both
used to see
