On a long day
intentionally I drift to
another Universe,
where meaningful thoughts
randomly feel oppressed by
an unpredictable image.
Holding to a glimpse of . . . more

Will you love me enough to leave when i ask you to
You say you can deal with my disease, my eventual confinement
You say you will always love me more than the grains of sand
Yet the band is playing . . . more

How is is you say you love me
When every time you don't get your way
I am the one who is wrong
How Is it you say you love me
When you use the words that cut the deepest
How is . . . more

I have been asked by Lisa to write something of an introductory nature about myself and perhaps share some of my poetry with the group. I have been given the unique honor of judging the Express Yourself . . . more

This is a poem I wrote a while back.
Time
Every second is precious
Yet it goes on for eternity.
You hold on to the moment,
But the hours pass you by.
It's callous hands strip away
All that you hold . . . more

The house is quiet, only the hum of dryer to keep me sane.
She is gone, only 20 miles away, yet gone for the week.
I write, do laundry, write some more.
Happy to have the house to myself.

Voices joined
Whirl in my head
Pain abounds
Flowing in the wind
No joy here
Chaos in its stead
Close my eyes
Feel darkness
Closing . . . more

Of course you are spiritually bereft. No one needs to tell you that. From inside the bars of your rib cage, you can barely get a glimpse of blue sky. You are ready for some good news and overjoyed . . . more

As she stared at her coffee,
she saw again the fatal kiss,
The one that stole her heart
and threw her dreams into a twist.
He could not be the one,
her knight . . . more

I didn't know
you'd be something to miss
Stored Away,
returned on the whisper of the wind
The memory of one perfect kiss
The deliciousness of young love
floods my brain
Rain washes over . . . more

My only child is 17 and a half today.
Turn back the clock, is there any way?
"6 months til I'm legal ma!" What can I say.
She wants to grow up so fast, the gaul! . . . more

Friends come and go but enemies accumulate
Use and abuse me, but oops! What if I retaliate?
Can you draw your weapon before I shoot you down?
Can you stare back if I growl and frown? . . . more

Without Your love where would I be?
A heart cold and barren
A soul at war
Not a word of knowledge,
to set me free
A wretch,dark,foul,
unworthy,base and false
Floating in a sea of trouble
Not noticing . . . more

When my time on earth is past and my
Ashes have been scattered to the wind,
Will you recall the sound of my voice and
Hear it echo somewhere in the distance?
Will your arms . . . more

Passage
Caused by yearning
Births a restless journey
About the globe in sea salt moved
Suspended and transmuted for the ride
On swells of moon and sun brought tides
To kiss a shore and stay
For . . . more

Footsteps lost in the Sand
carrying sorrows and disappointments

Walk Away...

This veers radically away from the light and tranquil stuff that is usually expected from me. Just keeping with the theme of republishing some of my writing here.

I am frustrated beyond belief.
He's changed the subjects on today's ~quiz~ ....so I've wasted time on things that are not even on it....

About four years ago, while traveling for work in Fairfax, Virginia, I had an epileptic seizure. This wasn't entirely new to me - I had them on a weekly basis as a child, but had not had one since . . . more
