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
All very true words :) I

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
