So, a chasm can’t easily be filled- a poem

.Reading time 1 minute.

The world’s best wines A 5 star meal Binge watching a show A kiss from your love None can fill the gap The pain is too great Earthly pleasure won’t suffice Leaning on a friend Crying until tears can’t come Will not easily enclose a chasm An emptiness so large There is no room for […]

So long overdue for a poem; I’m drowning in disbelief

.Reading time 3 minutes.

I’m drowning in disbelief. The queen of my story is gone. Never to return until the ethereal event in the sky. My reason for being and my reluctant best friend. At times we seemed like foes, the ties were superhuman. A true ally in my life won’t be a part of my daily. I drown […]

So, apparently no good deed is true- a poem

.Reading time 5 minutes.

    Frustrated to the brim is how days are ruled Running is a dream but leaving is not a choice The need to cry is great but I cannot reveal the tears Like the boy crying wolf, with each time meaning less Trying with might to suppress the flow of sorrow After all, life is good, […]

    So, Silence is the fix

    .Reading time 1 minute.

    Silence or withdrawal Though worrisome to some Is often the remedy to woes. Inability to express feelings When the mind is askew Keeps chattery mouths at bay. At times no words help The plea for understanding too great Some just can’t comprehend. When processing pain The level of hurt is hard to relay A select […]

    So, A poem about simple but amazing

    .Reading time 2 minutes.

    It started out so simple An acknowledgment An electronic smile Typed words of acceptance A message about her looks More broadly, her persona She took a bite on the line Allowed herself to be reeled Once again doubting The whole she was judging The words flowed easily As did the laughter The conversation never ending […]

    So, Motivational Monday time because today is a little manic (a kind of poem)

    .Reading time 1 minute.

    So, motivation and Monday. Hmmmm. Seems like a tall order… Today’s motivation is brought to you by the letter M for mistakes. Mistakes are something we often dwell on during times of stress or even when our minds are supposed to be at rest. Those past indiscretions, have been handed to God more than men […]

    So, a poem about nice

    .Reading time 2 minutes.

    Nice: a sad, absurd word I’ve always believed NICE to be a valuable attribute Going over hill and dale to show people I care Holding doors, assisting others, smiles and laughs But reward is little and the pain is huge Losing my cool and putting down my foot ‘Tis merely a result of consternation or […]

    So, a poem on being done with it all, except greatness…

    .Reading time less than 1 minute.

    I’m fed up, I’m done, but not finished. I can no longer hold back. There is greatness inside of me. I am too sparkly to be dulled. There are too many good ideas. Many great theories to share. I can no longer quell them. Ineptness from “superiors” drains me. So, no more talking the talk. […]

    So, it’s close to Christmas, a poem

    .Reading time 2 minutes.

    So, as I lie here not ready for work and all of it’s intrinsically annoying ways, I glimpse at the early morning light trying to burst it’s way through my blinds. I dread the trek to the office for too many reasons to unburden, but then I remember it is the Christmas season and all […]

    So, the little things are what truly matter in the end-a poem for DJ

    .Reading time 2 minutes.

    Listening to endless droning about my crazy job Taking the car to get repairs Calling to make sure I am in the Uber and safe Drying tears over feelings hurt once again An impromptu lunch to celebrate a small success Trying new things like apple picking to celebrate my traditions Buying me more new reads […]
