Stealing Time

Caught between domesticity
and the traps of my mind
longing to read
what others have on line
I get lost in semantics
and gold guilted prose,
but every moment spare
And some that aren't
I steal from others
just to wallow
in your craft.

I hear the snarks and snarls
of servitude undone
its yapping at my heels.
Go I must, only i find
to devise another
stolen cashe.

Stealing moments off others
to steal moments for my self.
Lost in the ironies and
juxtaposed by perfect expression
the love is in
the doing
not the thinking
but, still
it's the thought that counts.

Be right back
just devising another theft...
Hugs. SS.

Lol! I know what you mean!

Lol! I know what you mean! This is more my reality I was always a visitor never having time to write except for holidays, I really admire each and every attempt, but I am wise enough to know the differences in intent. It's actually quite a story, I lost my password for years till I found it by chance, god give you what you need, when you need it, even if we don't recognize it ourselves! This place and the poets give me so much time to get out of my own head space. It is a beautiful resting place everything included, dramas and respite. So now I write. :) my poems aren't lost anymore pushed out by my daily life. Though I'm not looking forward to stealing extra time when I start work again three jobs is a chunk as well as building a house! I'd rather die busy though thnks for your insights always appreciated :)


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
