Dunno if the store is a good place to look for love Don't know if companionship is lurking amongst the avocados I'll quietly tiptoe past the tulips in the garden section and mosey along through the deadbeets and drywall sheets and stake my claim in the tire chains. Company is nowhere to be found. I continue on with my list- biscuits, cookies and tea- am I looking for a posh British lover? I see nary a soul as I reach for the glass jar of hearts- Oops I dropped it. Cleanup on aisle 35

I only have eyes for the impossible The unattainable Tell me I can’t win the game And I’ll play Tell me I’ll always be set in my ways And I’ll change Tell me I’m caged And I’ll escape Tell me I’m normal I’ll show you insane Tell me I can’t have you And I’ll love you anyway

Words I couldn't say

I miss the way we used to be. I miss the way we ended a date with planning a new one because we couldn't wait to see one another again. Hours talked without feeling a single minute. The way your hand feels in mine. Your arm around my shoulder. The way we kept getting too distracted by each other to... read more

Kindness

What is the cost of kindness? For there is value in every act. Not monetary, but in consequence. That we choose to step freely or with tact Is kindness free, to be given willing? Handed to every one you meet outside. Or is it offered only to those deserving? With the price changing by how we... read more

I wonder....

Is this a positive or a negative response to being in love? Are you so disheveled that you loved a troubling person who hurt you and now you can't recover? Or are you so crazy in love that you can't think about anything but loving that person? You can write a good poem about a bad situation. And... read more

Wrote this poem, and I'm wondering why I'm even on boo anymore

"So I ask myself, if I have anything to give, and if I do would it mean I live, or prove I'm dead. Would my words go through or bounce right off, would they simply walk away, or breathe it in and start to cough. If what I said brought words at all or froze the air, would the ice in their eyes and... read more

First Post

During my divorce, I started to explore writing as an outlet for my emotions. At first, I started with a fantasy book that I'd been toying with for years and found that one of the characters should be a bit of a poet. Suffice it to say I am no poet. But it became an outlet I threw myself into.... (edited) read more

What is it that I seek?

What is it that I seek in the still of the night, When the stars whisper truths and the dark swallows light? Is it peace that eludes, like a shadow that flees, Or a purpose that hums in the sway of the trees? Do I long for a truth to anchor my soul, A map to the place where I might feel whole? Or... read more

In the wake of failure

I stood in their path, my resolve like stone, Yet their shadows moved past, and I was alone. I spoke, I shouted, I reached for their fire, But my strength fell short, my voice expired. I wrestled with darkness, I bled in the fight, Yet the wrong slipped away into the night. Was it my fault that I... read more

We die just a little

We were born to die Thats no reason to cry For while we live we get to try All that life does provide So rejoice for what you have in mind And savior each precious moment of time We all end the same way you will find So let's live each day like it's the end of the line

They say "be strong", with a voice that's loud and clear But depression's whispers, can bring even the strongest to fear It creeps in with the shadows, and steals the light of day And the weight of its darkness, can be hard to find a way

Why do poets have to be tortured

I can rhyme Just fine Without my mind Being in pain all the time I can write my poetry Just as freely Weather im in misery Or in ecstacy So don't avoid me Out of some misguided belief That you will stifle my creativity Thats just lunacy

I wrote something short, quickly, the other day. I put a bit more time in and landed on this. I'm often told that I have a pleasant voice, so I am reading more things out and seeing how they go. I think this came out fairly well. I'd likely speak it differently many times in reading it, and it's... (edited) read more
