Lately, Everything Feels Like You
Love walks in like it’s always lived here— barefoot, unapologetic, dragging sunlight across the floor like a blanket it refuses to fold. It opens all the windows at once, laughs too loud in the quiet moments, starts naming the plants even though they’re probably going to die anyway. Love doesn’t ask permission. It rewrites the furniture layout, puts your favorite song on repeat and says, “This...

Premium Member Musing Lately
Musing Lately Let’s just say with my husband now having heart troubles and my being old (& bedridden while waiting for my new prosthetic-leg) makes for on-going thinking, remembering, observing, reflecting, tentatively concluding, believing how the ineffable ultimately rules…and one’s language (for all its commanding need to be used with a true Love ) finds ...

Premium Member Beautiful Dawn, Lately
Cool waves and green foam Zest in crisp morning breezes Pink clouds float along Sunrise splash into gold sun Chill thrills before day's begun. Yellow-orange zing A stroll in warmth since the dip Blooms on green catwalks Stained skies are fading to blue Another mauve rendezvous. ...

Ive Been Doing Nothing Lately
On Wednesdays I get angry, and on Thursdays I make pots, and then I am no longer angry. When I’m angry I blast Buddy Holly— but I keep the windows up. And then I think it’s so funny, you know, that I’m listening to Weezer, and I’m reminded of how much I miss Joseph, and then I am no longer angry. Chloe drapes heating...

Lately
Lately I’ve been a little lost in crevasses And unable to stop the type of thought that crosses. Ashamed at actions recent, decently embarrassed, Even though forgiven by those who are better than good and fairest. And bits of moments play one at a time Reminding me of the black ooze and slime On my soul...

Premium Member Lamentations of the Lately Bereaved
When I found you in bed, you had just died. I wept; my grieving went mostly unsaid; you clearly were gone—I was horrified! As you lay still in bed, utterly dead, the huge shock I felt could not be denied, as tears gave...

Premium Member Lately Melancholy
A bitter, sad, and lonely night The final candle is flickering low Radio has switched to midnight jazz Too late to search for a place to go. The clock chimes two, or, maybe three Silence screams in this darkening room, so Thoughts revisit my very fondest dreams Too late to search for a place to go. Close my eyes tightly, thinking of you Remembering...

Oh, I need your comfort I am still in need of you by my side I don’t want to get hurt I’m going through so much inside Lately… Lately…. Lately…..

Lately
I opened my eyes today Sleepless slumber entangling me Severing dreams from reality Memories like rewinding a tape Forever lost in thought For I lament my loss Never again will I learn to walk Held so high above the earth Soaring above the pavement chalk Never again will I feel that embrace Warm arms to hold me tight A gentle hand to soothe my pace Ive tried...
