Milky Way Return

Folder: 
2018

Being a person who values the happiness of everybody around me

and being a person who was raised by a great father

and strengthened by great women

 

I want to

bathe

all your darkest corners with light

and cure what ails

with a secure breeze to propel dormant sails

but I find myself

time and time again

in the precarious position

where I've opened up to available women

with profound, euphoric results

briefly

followed by the inevitable reality

of their silent lucidity

learning how to master their dreams

without me

 

Confusion

over time

Doubt

Anger

Panic

Pain

Change?

Disappointment

 

My younger self was defensive

casting blame outward

bellowing, 'why does this happen to me?'

but the origins of truth really exist

today within my own rooted persistence

 

Sure

I can offer kind words of advice

Hug your puppy

be supportive if need be

 

I can be valuable to you, if you want?

but for my own sake

the meter is always running

and i know

the thresholds

of what my time is worth

 

I cannot unequivocally commit anymore

for a Milky Way's return in malnourished soul

Keep On Pushin

The expenditure takes root and like a seed pushes toward enlightenment - after a word in the ear from one who has heard a truth or a kindness or love offered.  It grows unseen, after being planted. Keep on shaing your head and your heart, poet. It and all the resultant nullified expected outcomes and the pain is what defines us as humans. Go figure. - slc

I Am Well

Thanks for the good hope. Just reread this poem - re-readability is always a mark of good penning. Hope you write with us again soon (when life lets you) :D Stella

Taking a couple medications

Taking a couple medications I've never had before and they kinda round off my sharpest edges, so to speak heh. But it also gives me writer's block and mental fog. I guess time will tell about my writing but I always appreciate your reading. Thank you
