Long At my wits end Poems

Shayna Punim - You came a long way baby!

Though negligible communication
now transpires between us
twenty seven years ago
come February fourth,
two thousand and twenty five,
our lives (affecting yours truly
and that of mother, plus Eden
a caring older sister)
irrevocably...

I finished my Chinese meal all at once
 and stared at the cookies like some sort of dunce.
 
When I read my fortune I did not understand
 from the small piece of paper, I held...

Winter nights, the darkness comes quick
Key in door, to an empty house
Jacket falls fast right on the floor
I stare at the stand, at the telephone for sure

There she sits, alone, unmoving
No blinking light
No message at...

found Jack Frost in his glory,
he haint no longer morose nor gruff,
cuz series of fortunate meteorological events
found crystalline precipitation...

From inside myself I feel in humility
That wondrous sense of awe within my mind,
A special transcendence into tranquillity.

My memories rise to the surface to remind,
I’ve lost reality in the silence.
Travel through recollections of the past...

Cried out in pain, needed to heal,
Nothing from God did I feel. 
Demobbed from the army,
In a terrible state,
Dumped in civvy street,
Where I had no mates.
Heart as cold as bayonet steel,
Me, Love God?  Get...

This morning polished my desk, 
Dusted my computer till it shone,
And mentally wiped the cobwebs
From my cluttered brain,
So I could access and obtain,
The words to which I had no title
A while since I penned a...

Tinnitus tinnitus, innocuous by name,
invisible tasteless, sounds pretty lame,
Ears hissing, snakes inside my head, 
Growing louder, causing turmoil in bed,
Room’s spinning, feel like getting sick,
Banging kicks off, rhythmically quick. 

Tinnitus tinnitus, pneumatic drillers, 
incessant maniacal...

I Had Nowhere to Go…  But God!

Lost and lonely, I was often bewildered.
There were life’s problems I shouldered.

I was empty inside and at my “wits end.”
There was no one around when I needed a...

Santa, I do confess
I feel a little bit strange
A middle aged man sitting on your knee
Whispering into your ear, my grandest wish
Let us both hope people do not get the wrong idea here
I am at...

It read, please help me I have'nt got a dime.

I feel so hurt
And so much like a jerk
For I have lost my dream
Just let it out and scream
What did I do
Can I ask you
Am I to be alone
All I can do is groan
I ask...

the clock speeding away every tock is a  slap in the face
1am and then 2am and yet your nowhere to be seen 
worry eats at me like a moth to a cloth and anger...

When I was young and hearty,
I once sowed a measly seed,
And saw with awe
the paltry seed grow into
a beautiful flowering tree
permeating all around
sweet fragrance
pleasing to the soul.

I likewise sowed
a shiny silver dollar,
And with bated breath
waited...

She’s doing my head in; I'm at my wits end
I reckon she’s losing the plot
Her tempers are fierce and her moods have no trend
And I’m struggling to deal with the way that she’s got

She gives...

The leaves turn brown and the cold sets in
As darkness falls, my joy grows dim
I'm unsure of the problem and why it arose
Why have you just appeared-suppose only God knows
It was never a problem- and...

When you see me cry don't be afraid
Sometimes dads emotions overflow
I know you wonder what's going on
There are things we don't want you to know

Perhaps we're wrong to insulate you
As parents we try to do...

Rolling through a bloody mess,
my master died alone no less.
His mercy was indeed a lie,
he said I lived but now will die.

His hand was swift with a mighty stroke,
within a thought my life was broke.

Help me please
I’m falling apart
Make me invisible
Give me a new start

Help me please
I’m out of control
Make me an illusion
Life has taken its toll

Help me please
I’m at my wits end
Make me disappear 
It’s too far gone...

My pen rights my sins
I can admit my faults 
Time and time again 
Writing finds me when lost 

That’s the fun of it
To lose myself in my pages
If dark then find me lit
By the enchanting...

She supplies the thoughts for which I speak
There is no problem too great or...
