Best H.M Poems

I tried to reason with you, but you turned your back on me
Tears formed in my eyes so blue, but you turned your back on me.

When I arranged to meet, you said you were working till late -
Then I saw you out with Sue, but...

Solving depression
If this equation by Victor Frankl is true
D=S-M
Despair = suffering – meaning
I suffer from despair
My despair causes me suffering
My suffering clouds my true meaning
The clouds stop me from finding my true meaning.
–S+-C=-M
We all need meaning. What is my meaning?
What will my meaning equal to?

Despair.
I am like a
windowless, empty room.
Bleak and dark i steal hope and give
anguish.

Distress
i am to you.
Lonely desolation.
Like a cloak you wear me with great
sadness.

How much longer can this go on?
How much more do I have to take?
One foot in front the other
with never a pause or break.

Relentlessly this pain does grind
I'm weary to the core
I no longer have the strength
to battle one day more.

I know you'd say to...

Words I don't even know

A word of Arabic origin?

Meaning harm; at Webster's best

I fear that I'm obsessed with clothes
and maybe shoes as well
always looking for something new
or a bargain in the sale!

My wardrobe's fit to overflow
but I seem to just add more!
Perhaps one day its doors will burst
and spill my clothes upon the floor!

and moonshine

steal my horse, but not my stein

     I’m tired of people saying,
You’re just one person,
You can’t change the world.
I’m tired of them telling you,
You’re too small to do anything.
I’m tired of them telling lies like that,
There not true.

     They don’t...

Father, I come on bended knee
even though they're “bone on bone,”
as sorrows often seem to flee
when I bow down before your throne.

Restless worry or sleepless nights
cannot provide that sweet release
which floods a soul with rich delight
and fills a weary heart with peace.

You place a song...

I know you don’t want to hear it
But one day you WILL 
look up and think, 
“Dammit Mom”
And then notice the rose-gold
Of a sunset

Just like I’m
Always taken by surprise 
At how your eyes
Can change from green 
to dusty gold then blue
Depending on the hue
Of your...
