ā€œDon’t Go,ā€ I Thought

There they stood on the fire escape

I relate so well to their situation

My station set in empathy

Like me, they have endured so much

Couldn’t touch them for fear of them jumping

Couldn’t bring help to help me handle

The muddle that may have been pending

Was thinking what could I do?

I knew I couldn’t keep them there forever

I’d never gain their trust

I just needed another minute

Had to get it with...

Shoveling Is Hard

Powerless am I against the falling snow

when I know that I alone can’t clear it all.

Still it falls, a perfect pall, stamping out the way

that I lay by broken shovel, aching back....

dance with me for a minute

give me a kiss in your car while we're driving through the night

i can light up your world if you lean into me

dance with me don't be afriad, or do if you really want

nochalant, keep it down low, you never tell, they never know

let me go, stay starstruck, if you please

let me be, its bound to happen, i never stay...

this is for my daily streak. :)...

This Is Hard

This is hard

The yard needs mowed

You owed the landscaper

The hairdresser needs money too

Have you done your taxes

Throwing axes is a game

The same thing happens

It depends on him

Try them and see

Not me buy you

That too is done

The fun of life

The strife of living

The giving season

Dancing

I fly through air

No errors in my walk

I can’t talk but I dance


One step after another

The terror is true

But I’m through lying


I live for the music

Fantastic notes that lift

My spirit to inner peace...

We Tried

The drops of doubt, cloud my once empty head

Bright red of color, sees white, change of dread


Whispers of no, how come, only one time, tells

Ring less bells, once chimed, now silent, fells


Packing it up, and leaving, for just a short while

Feeling pretty vile, heart in pieces, in a tiny pile


Words of don’t go, I’ll change, only just for you

Feeling blue, but not for you, go leave, it’s due...

Blue Magic

How is it possible that I love you more than you love you

You shine blue bright radiating light you don’t see

Undermine yourself, your self-doubt casting long shadows

Nothing grows but weakness under a cracked veneer

My dearest I love you too much to just stand by

Whilst you deny your magic...

Carry On

Though the winds may seem fierce

And pierce through your heart they do

I say you, I say you…Carry on

Life goes on and when life gets going

Know one thing and that thing is push

Don’t shush that fire in your soul

Never fold or submit into defeat

For your treat, your reward is nigh

Don’t ask why I say these things unto you

For I too must follow this way of living

So my being can one day be whole

The New Guy

I’m not a writer

Occurred is the only word I can think of

Discovered this app holding my baby

I see this is hard....
