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.

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.

Running From the Pain
Willard Wells Dec 2015
Here I sit
in my robe
to start my day.

I felt so fine
until the time
my stomach ached.

But then the head
wanted to get
in on the pain.

Now the top
and the middle
are in pain.

At least my legs
have no pain,
so now if I could just run away from this pain.

It would be a lovely day.

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)

From obscurity
Present twisted views to us
Which to believe now
Goof as I think of upcoming election

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

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

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.

That my love provides
