Lost in thought
I tend to get lost back at the beginning,
such a beautiful end. I don't need to be in love
I can just pretend.
I walk open handed on endless beaches
leavening shallow footprints for someone to find.
My imagination runs wild on the winds of maybe.
I get lost in forever skies, leading me away.
never wanting to find the

Lost in Thought, A tribute to Poe
Reluctantly I sat abusing
Some old and sad familiar musing
That for some reason kept refusing
To lie quietly
A thought that in a moment read
Was understood and put to bed
Now prancing once more round my head
O daring memory
Why must thee wallow on the tongue
Barren tree with fruit unsprung
Tormenting, tempting songs unsung
In endless reverie
So oft times I've thought before
Unquiet

Lost in Thought
Alone in the company of my four walls
Sometimes she visits within my thought's halls
I think to myself and ask God,
That if its not meant to be
That her and I shall never speak so free
That her beauty my eyes shall never see
That at least on the other side we could speak
Like old friends, with empathy

Lost In Thought
Written: September 23, 2023
__________________________________________________________
What was I thinking, I pondered alone,
As my mind wandered my thoughts were thrown.
Lost in a whirlwind of doubt and despair,
I yearned for an answer, a purpose to share.
To slice beyond the cacophony in my head.
To find the clarity that I so desperately dread.
Absence of time-wasting and overthinking.
It was essential to disclose the

Lost In Thought
In my mind, a labyrinthine maze,
Where thoughts twist and turn in endless chase,
And I'm caught in a frenzied daze.
Memories flash like lightning blaze,
And dreams take flight in an elusive space,
In my mind, a labyrinthine maze.
Emotions surge, a turbulent race,
As I struggle to find a steady place,
And I'm caught in a frenzied daze.
The path ahead is

Lost In Thought
I tried to think of a way,
To say what I wanted to say.
I pondered and thought of lessons they taught,
But my mind just went astray.
Steeped with words so profound,
Still my voice would utter no sound.
With all sincerity and a moment of clarity,
I decided to write them down.
With ink flowing as it should;
And doing the best

Example for my Swap Quatrain Contest, Check it Out
He came to see his long lost love
To put together the pieces thereof
As blossoms fell from off the tree
His long lost love, he came to see
They told him that she was not there
His old flame who was so fair
Disappointment left

Lost In Thought
The glowing fire held my gaze
Lost in thought was I.
Always they turn to you,
Often do I cry.
Sat alone, midnight nears
I seek no company.
My tears are private, just for you.
I want you here with me.
But no, fate had other plans
It took you away.
No explanation, nothing,
However hard I prayed.
Known only unto God they say,
We cannot know the

Lost In Thought
I sat in the corner of the bookstore
Laptop open
Swirling paper and ink smells
circled with the coffee flavors
Lost in thought
I see this woman in front of me
I wonder where she has been?
Does she know where she is going?
There is a sadness in her eyes,
that holds me there
Wondering who and why?
Sometimes I see a flicker
like

Lost In Thought
As the mind quite
And the soul pick a
Pen to speak in ink.
Though soul may set in
Dankness, it will rise in a
Perfect light, like a value
that doesn’t decrease based on
Someone’s inability to see, I will speak.
What I wish I knew, like a
man who do not know how high
he is, until he is called to

Lost In Thought
Lost in thought because I've got nothing to do. It's too early for most to move.
So I sit here thinking could this all be a ruse? I hope it's not I hope
That it's real. I'd hate for it to be false and feel the way I do. My life's been
An adventure, a real whirlwind

Lost in thought thinking of me
Lost in thought thinking of you
Lost in thought thinking of my kind
Lost in thought thinking of the world
The world is in chaos
Africa the nearest is forever in upheaval
Coup's are the daily breakfast news
Killings are the order of the day
Babies,children,women,men are maimed
The purpose is to disfunction
No reprisals from them
But they are

Lost In Thought
Am I just lost in thought?
Or did the day begin and not yet end?
Is this the truth?
Or do you answer with nothing but lies?
The second question came first and caused the haze.
Thinking there is nothing but lies makes a mind begin to burst.
