PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I abused my day off today like I have never done so

before

I dried some laundry, took a much needed shower then

laid back down and did nothing more

I slept a lot longer than I had originally planned

the smoldering embers of my previous tiredness I must

admit I over indulgently fanned

I received several telephone calls but had very little

to say

hello, how are you?

a little tired

I think I'll go, Can I call you back later in the day?

but never did

(call them back)

who was I trying to kid

goodbye comes so easy to the lips of one who wishes

not to speak

instead I tend to hail this book of pages to make up for  

other losses found throughout the week

isn't it so terribly strange how words possess the mind

of those who only wish to fall back to sleep

they touch upon fringes of great depth that goes far beyond

just that of being deep

tomorrow is years from this very moment or so I would lie to

myself so to further the belief

for me the day has been like the rarest jewel to be closely

admired

but I took it a step further and became a thief

and from such suspicious thoughts

this very poem

was inspired............
