Dance of Love
Willard Wells Jul 2015
When you gaze upon me,
What do you see?
Where do your eyes go?

When you hold my hand,
What do you feel?
Where do you guide me?

When you lay close to me,
What do you imagine?
Where do you see us?

When you see me go,
What do you desire?
Where will we meet again?

When you see me on my return,
What have you missed?
Where do we go from here?
Experimentation for me in style.

Cluster
Willard Wells Oct 2019
The pain controlled, yet my mind clouded.
Relief has its payment, for an active mind.
Slowed by the solutions, yet focused,
An odd clearness from behind the fog.

Craving sleep, yet not needed, or possible,
With the active mind of a crazed man.
So here I sit with my eyes on paper,
Looking for words to write to busy the mind.

Yet relieved the pain has lifted,
Hoping it’s the end, rather than just a break from the pain.
It comes, then goes for hours or days, sometimes weeks,
With little warning, just the pain.

In the end, even no pain,
The lingering numbness, from the drug,
Leaving the mind, clear within the fog, time passing by,
Wishing for sleep, that will not come.
Journey in the middle of the night as a ride the wave of the pain in my head. No need for pity as it is my life, the topic of conversations

Out of Body
Willard Wells Jun 2015
Mind traveling low in the weeds,
Watching out for low flying objects.
As I may perceive
Do not run with sharp objects during this phase they say.

Danger can be lurking as the mind is on a different wave.
I do try to remember.
But sometimes the action is faster from one side
Than the other of my brain

Then the place where your body seems to be.
How did I arrive at this state or is it state of mind,
An illusion or reality.

Standing to the side looking in on this view,
Of a life which while appearing surreal;
I feel it is quite real and nice.
So I think I will keep it for the rest of my life.
How do you view where you are for now and going forward??

Reality of Self
Willard Wells Oct 2015
As the love grows
strong with time,
it gives the feel
of always sharing
and being real.

But in reality
the love that grows
may not feel the same
if you open up
and are a bit too real.

We want to love,
and we want to share,
but what you want
and what you get
is not what you expect.

Sometimes the hidden self
and personal thoughts,
should stay right there
and not be shared.
But kept to self.

Often the thoughts
we want to share,
may be more than
we really
want to hear.

Politician (Senryu)
Willard Wells Jun 2015
From obscurity
Present twisted views to us
Which to believe now
Goof as I think of upcoming election

Regrets
Willard Wells Aug 2019
Regrets, I say, I have none, but what is regret. I say the past is gone and the future has yet to happen, so we only have this moment. Then reflecting back, thinking I could have done that better. Is this just a thought or is it a regret?

Regrets would make me want to change something of the past, but how will that effect my future. A moment of regret, then a change of path, then what of now, would it still be as it is. I am happy where I am, so a change would possibly change that.

So I will dream, then reminisce of the past, but savor with great pleasure the place I have come at this point in my journey.

FATE
Willard Wells Sep 2019
Looking at changes
that approach in my journey,
I find in me an emptiness.

Answers I find, I know hold truth,
But my mind will not accept,
Fate as it will always win.

Love Lost
Willard Wells May 2015
In times of quiet when I think
The future of our life
I think of what would be if you
My love, were lost from my world

In this time I see myself
Lost in a lonely place
Weeping for the one I lost
My love, who has left my world

In present time I know myself
Feeling just this way for you
Weeping for the one I lost
My love, who has left my world
This is another from when I was about 19 yrs. old. And that was far more than a year ago. hahaha

Sleep
Willard Wells Sep 2015
sleep comes to heavy
eyes as the stars shine brightly
in a moonlit sky

Lost Child
Willard Wells Jan 2020
Our children may falter in the journey of life,
Yet, there will always be hope,
Along with a light,
As we await their return.

— The End —
