In Life, There Are

by

There are some things better left undone

In life some things need to stay away from the sun.

In a moment things can change from how they were.

In two instances people can become unsure.

There are times and places and things to look for.

There are choices to make before doing more.

There are lives to change and people to save in a pinch.

In life’s thoughts minds must be made up to make choices without a flinch.

There are times and places and mindsets for everything.

There are likes and loves and wants in anything.

In life space life floats without a clicking sound.

In life’s existence people care but it doesn’t resound.

There are ways to make it without becoming dirty as the ground.

In life sometimes we must quit without getting drowned.

All The Thank You Letters I Never Sent

by

In all the thank-you letters I never sent:

I mean to tell you how much you meant.

I wanted to say what a help you had been

How much you changed me in the time you spent

Had to let you know what a joy you are

How much I love you, however bizarre

I desired to express my thankfulness

You listened to what I had to confess

You loved me at a time that wasn’t my best

And you cared for me despite my mess

You look past the improper conduct

To see the new me that could be the product

You’re the giver and and lover

Who inspired me to recover

What a beautiful person, inside where it counts

You’re a wonderful human and that was paramount

Everything you’ve exerted has not gone to waste

What you did for me made me change in haste

I love you to death and back to life

You cure people and end strife

So I want to thank you for who you are

Wanted you to know you healed my scar

All the hours and dollars and smiles you put in

Make me say you are a true role model and friend

So I’ll thank you again

In a letter I’ll never send

What a Loss of Words and Life

by

I’d love to say I’m lost, but I’m not even there yet. I’d adore the feeling of feelings, but there’s no emotions to make them.

.

There could be something for me somewhere if I tried to look again. But there’s nothing where I want it in this quiet lion’s den.

.

All good things, bad things, sad things must come to an end. But I don’t see how this thing could ever be made to mend.

.

I wished for something greater. There’s nothing but small craters living in the cavern of the small one town tavern that I wish to call my heart.

.

But there’s not much more of me than your old eyes can see. Nothing more to be than the fortunate beautiful not so mystery.

.

What a loss of life. What an end of everything that is right. Why not take up that knife and give it just a little slice?

.

There’s no time for this. I must look out into the mist. Maybe then there won’t be a rift between you me and the continental drift.

.

My mother likes to draw and lives life under the saw. She looks out at the sky and tries not to cry about the things that used to and still be. Though sometimes never shouts “oh woe is me!”

.

For now since we’re not fighting and there is no more hiding, I’m at a loss for words. There is nothing more that the herds that wind up and down as birds chirp around.

.

She and I are done with words. There’s not much to say. I no longer need her, and she no longer needs me. We have no more quarrel. I guess there’s no more place for me.

.

No room for her and I to be happy. She wants them to take sides. I just want to fall to my demise. I don’t need anything else. She’s pushed me till I melt.

.

I breathed as I felt the crack in my skull. The last moment I wanted. She can live her whole life now exactly how she wanted. Without me keeping her from her darling.

.

Spite the wrong person and everyone loses. I know I had to hurt a few others, but now I’m not her reason for misery. She can live life without envy. Free of me.

I want to love you.

by

I just want to love you

I just want to hug you

I just want to need you

I really want to see you

.

I see why it pains you

I never promised to keep you

I won’t necessarily leave you

I can promise I’ll stay true to you

.

I’ll give a day, a week to you

I need to know I can have you

I’ll live my life all around you

I stare openly, blankly at you

.

I swear I wanted to need you

I tried my hardest to please you

I was almost true to you

I just needed to love you

.

I just want to love you

I just want to hug you

I just want to need you

Or any young fool will do.

I Just Can’t Move Forward

by

Don’t tell me the truth

I can’t stand to bear it from you.

Just hear out my lies

They’re better than looking into my eyes.

Oh God hear my cries!

He sees through my disguise

I tried to apologize

But there’s nothing.

it’s all lies.

I knew there was something

But I gave you no tries.

Oh my dear please stay by my side

And be my blind guide.

I feel so responsible

But I can’t face the impossible.

You and I won’t ever be a sweet couple

Not in a way less subtle

I can’t stand your unmotivated

Self. Working without having donated

Anything to anyone but yourself.

I don’t know how I could let you

Live a life next to myself

With all the things you did and do

It’s not about the feelings

Nor our bedroom dealing.

But about my family past and present

Who are always in my presence

Telling me who’s right and wrong

And about who can finish my song

I know I can count on them for long

When you’ve grown up and gone

They’ll be there in the future

As will you or some other moocher

Your Broken Daughter

by

Smile.

I’m your broken child.

Don’t cry.

It’ll make me want to die.

.

I’m a broken wife.

With a deceitful knife

Trying to make you happy

Calling on you, my pappy.

.

I’m the little baby girl

Looking for someone who won’t hurl

An insult, a punch and a brutal blow

To what used to be my morals, now so low.

.

He asked, so I answered.

Now I feel so absurd.

There was a time I was stronger.

That time is here no longer.

.

Please, I hope you can forgive me

I’m not your average girl, see–

Oh wait. I am nothing

You deserve a better something.

.

I am your broken daughter.

Just a lamb ripe for slaughter.

I am your adulterous wife,

Someone not worth the strife.

.

You are who I’ll look to

To find out what I could do

In the end to recover

From what I did discover.

An Intriguing Mind

by

Written about a good friend of mine who writes beautiful poetry. Read his work at http://merelypoetry.blogspot.com/ if you wish.

He’s a brilliant mind, a beautiful soul

Though he is not perfect, not even a little.

Drawn out explanations and pithy phrases

Make him come up with a word that amazes.

Exponential growth in knowledge and wisdom

He looks you in the eye when you enter his kingdom

Of learning and inquiring to find all the answers

To questions as simple as ‘are we humans or dancers?’

Brilliant rhyme and exquisite dialect

Frame hours of discourse to stimulate anyone’s intellect.

Music with rhythm and words full of passion

Inspire color and vivacity in places of sombre ashen.

Respectful and caring but also quite daring,

He’ll give you a laugh to keep you from despairing.

He’s a brilliant mind with beautiful intellect,

And I know of no soul who would object.

Words Spoken And Unspoken

by

“Leave, leave and don’t ever come back!”

Words that should give you a heard attack.

But if your words have no value

What good do they do when we argue?

.

“Stop, please return lovingly to me!”

Once words are said they’re remembered for eternity.

But if you are forgiving you can keep on living

Through everything with thanksgiving.

.

“How come you never say ‘I love you?'”

Because there is no use sating what’s true or untrue.

I will not lie to say things forgotten

Just to make myself you’re only begotten.
