Living Inside of Me

I love my house

It's simple and clear

I clean up the clutter and wash the dirty wares 


I sweep floors

Wipe the knobs on the doors

Brush away the cobwebs and the dusty walls 


I bag my pains 

And put out the trash

Turn on some music so my worries won't chat  


Repair the leaks 

From holes in the roof

I'll be putting on my red umbrella shoes   


I love my house 

No rooms for fuss 

You better off elsewhere if you huff and puff
 

I feed my mind 

Happy compliments 

Water my garden daily for sweet lovely scents 


There is a ban 

No roaches and mice

You're welcome to come in

It's clean from dirt and grime

Hi Arturo, When we are upset or sad, it is therapeutic to put pen to paper. It can suffocate us sometimes if we don't' but if we can try and declutter our body mind and soul, things will begin to slowly mend. All the best Arturo, Jennifer.

When you love your house, it's your home where you can feel your mind. Enjoy.

I HATE RATS & MICE (this is me screaming standing on a chair)....gossip? where`s the napalm and an aerosol of killer words. When you are at peace in your home, there is no better sanctuary, other than the arms of someone you love. Shut out the world, I say, build your own dominion.

Object accomplished...instead of bring in the garbage a better idea would be to put it out...two feet rats can cause a lot of trouble in life...Will check out the videos

A glimpse thru your window to you. A glimpse that bounces movement with feeling in an interesting and emotional way, both. All the best ... CayCay

3rd line up, I don't think you meant 'what are talking bout.' This is delightfully different and paints a picture of not only your home but your essence within your home. It is unique and definitely held my interest throughout. All the best ... CayCay
