Poem for Monday

Monday
Oh Monday
Whooaoh
Sunday
or Saturday
You're always there

Screaming like a tiger
Ripping the cables out
Trying to catch the breath
without collapse

Cause every single being
needs your answer now
but no one ever asks
if you're alright

So that's why I'm now
writing this poem
just to let you know
that I appreciate

I Am

I AM…

I’m the “no worries, I’m fine”.
But I do need a sign that I will survive each day.
I’m the shoulder to cry on, always rely on, but never learned to play.


I’m the whisper in a crowded room, roses that never quite bloom, a cloud on a sunny day.
I’m a polite smile, “haven’t seen you in a while” and carry on my way.


I’m the game of Solitaire, too much to bear, the lost but never found. 
I’m words unspoken, thoughts of, “I’m broken”, ears without the sound.

Flashdance

I think this is just what I need in these days so hard. 

Watching lightning bugs flash dance in my little neighbor's yard. 

The smile on her face has lips touching ears. 

As the little girl throws her tiny hands up in the air and cheers.

This display is just for the two of us. 

Wondrous, beautiful and bold. 

Watching mother nature's private show unfold. 

Spontaneous, engaging and sweet. 

No ads and commercial free.

No popcorn, candy or tickets sold.

Going about blogging.

Checking through several other bloggs

my brain immediately filled with fog!

Eyebrows knitted, my mind just about to freak

I wondered, how on earth I could compete?

But, what the heck I thought, don't loose the plot,

you'll just have to take what you've got!

 

But some sort of system is necessary,

contents  to be chosen carefully.

Nothing to heavy or to dark,

keep it light, you know, a bit of a lark!

 

With regular spots and secondhand tips,

anecdotes recording my misses and hits.

Missing you (Me)

My mind is numb,
And even now,
The tears have dried.
In bodily exhaustion,
And aching heart.
Lengths to which I cried.
See vessel of me,
A shrivelled prune.
An empty shell,
With raging pain,
That feels like hell.

And mind seems,
Not to know,
Or even care.
How future-less you,
Might look,
Or fare,
As days trip along.

In unplanned fashion,
Rhyme and reason,
Seems lost.
All alone,
In its elongated season,
Of despair.

Her own will

The night is quiet, still, and deep,While all the nearby shadows sleep.She opens up a blank white page,To let her thoughts take center stage.Her fingers find the keys to press,And give the words a bright address.The tiny spark begins to glow,As creative currents start to flow.Each rhythmic line is sharp and deep,Unlocking dreams she wants to keep.The focus builds a guiding light,That shines across the silent night.The waiting ends, the quiet breaks,A sudden, brilliant story wakes.She claims the wild and simple thrill,Obeying only her own will.

The Midnight Garden

Old legends speak about the shifting will-o'-wisp,
whose burning tongue speaks secrets in a whispered lisp.
It dances out across the wild and marshy plains,
to draw the lonely hearts away from earthly pains.
As he walks down the street, he sees its glowing spark,
that cuts a path across the cold and heavy dark. 

​A sudden mist had wrapped around the street,
and pulled the solid ground from underneath his feet.
The heavy iron gates gave way with a soft sigh,
as he walked down the path where weary dreams go by.

before my time

...learning the ceiling

before floor

—how a day is shaped,

or air keeps its measure,

 

how the house moved

to a rhythm older

than the streets outside.

 

Whatever I became

started here,

in a climate set

long before my time.

Many sins.

Sunday morning , cold and forsaken the church doors are all closed.

I think about you alone in your hospital bed.Going over all the things I didn't do and the words I left unsaid.

We walked hand in hand into the trap.I should've known one of us may not make it back. But denial is a funny thing, it can hide the truth from your eyes, even when it's right in front of your face.

Praying on bended knee.Oh God , just one more chance for salvation

Happiness

Painted by all colours
brightening like the sun
Not most honored masterpieces
nor a world-wide famous plays
would be able to succeed,
to beat the simplest joy of a day

No artist could capture
or reinterpret it for real
There's...
no better music to hear,
no better picture to steal
than a smile on the face 
of your beloved
Lived, received,
kept in memories

Neither art can provide
the feeling of seeing them laugh
replace the "it will be fine" line
as one simple smile
does

Isn't that pure happiness?
