in twenty words or less

when all my poems are written and all my dreams spent
what will be left in the search for something
I'm trying to find rational reasons
to explain irrational feelings
and they say that's never a good sign
boy you're losing your mind

will I tell you that we lived happily ever after
I will not,
for no one ever does
but there was happiness.
and we did live

the wakeful nights and restless days are spent
searching for happiness
a dream that I chase knowing it's a mirage
but to feel loved again .....

ah to feel love ........again

in this world
real life endings aren't always neat or pretty
whether they're happy endings
or whether they're sad endings
they are the ending

the most important things in life
are always the hardest to convey
sometimes words just feel so inappropriate
for mere words diminish the heart felt feelings

when I said I loved you
it meant much more than that
for how can one explain the feelings of love
it's like trying to explain the feeling of being alive
in twenty words or less

it can;t be done

Thanks ! for years I wrote

Thanks ! for years I wrote whatever was running through My Head 

Then I'd throw it in the trashcan , Thinking No One could possibly relate .

Or not wanting people to find out what I really thought.

Not knowing  good Friend of Mine ,Was following My ass around .

She'd dig it out an read it , If it wasn't a Rant at someone or something 

She took it home and put it in what I now call the Archives ( A Shoebox )

At first I was pissed when I caught Her.

But knowing that I secretly loved Her ,She knew I wouldn't stay mad 

Okay whatever  JUST DON"T LET ANYONE ELSE READ IT !

For 25+ years We argued about whether it was Shit !or not 

Then a little over 4 years ago I lost a bet with Her and had to post 3

Poems on here ......... I'm still living with the I Told You So ! LOL

 

Thanks for reading it and Not telling Me, Get The Hell Out Of Here You Suck lol

Intense Write

Writers work with imperfect tools. Words r all we have, so we keep trying to do the impossible, expecting a different outcome. Isn't that the definition of insanity?
