Our shoulders heavy,

The secrets that we carry

deny us our joy.

Long day of varied working. 
Restful sleep tonight....

with my child
on my shoulder, i walk
in the long rain
carrying the heaviness
of shattered dreams...

On the chunk of stone,
ocean's extreme heaviness,
amongst my weeping.

What could be said
of the bugs below?
Can they feel this
weight from above?
Around they clamor
in a life of dirt.
Unaffected by that
heaviness of love....

To be this human

made from stardust

coughed into life

carved hollow to hold the heaviness of being.

To be this 

dot

among dots

comes with questions....

Heaviness felt over the shoulders
As a sac of bricks that drags you
To the deepness of a calm lake
Drowning to undiscovered emotions

I have become ash
Decayed for decades
What happened?
To my lithe thoughts
And deft digits

That could churn
Heaviness into brevity
And paltry pursuits
Into wee nuances...

Our house craves bold colors and crisp, clean lines 
No heaviness of wood, antique white or brocade
Just chrome, seamless showers and open space 
Inviting air and light so we may shunt the grave...

Keep your marshmallow bulges
those wisps of forgotten sheers
distorted aerials of gossamer
but those grey pinks
laden with promises
of the foreboding
speak with a ethereal heaviness
i am here...

Form

Mass

Drooping

Heaviness

Weeping bodies age

Stretched elongated wrinkled form

Distorted hound dog faces as Youth's beauty fades

Eventually we return to the ground as water evaporates to dust...

the heaviness of 
        muscle constriction heaves easy
simple touch caresses

a pillar of strength
	apexes amongst the clouds 
a breath of fresh air

eyes smarting with tiredness,
not registering on the words I see,
heart aching with heaviness,
looking at the last letter you wrote to me,
pages full of the love, that wasn't to be.

The clouds overhead smother me. 
Their heaviness, mirroring my thoughts,
And the grayness of their pain
Rains down cold memories,
Onto my soul like acid rain,
Eating away at my chance to
For once,
Be happy....

The heaviness of heart lifts.
I want it gone, but I hold it tighter still.
Crashing through me, knocking me down, picking me up. 
It needs to go, it has to.
Lost to love, feeling our hearts fade.
You are gone.

it rained and night had turned

it seemed we couldn't escape
its cloak of heaviness

but little did it matter
beneath your umbrella
with you holding me close

Tell me what you're afraid to lose
  tell me what you're afraid to keep
    all that keeps you awake at night
      and steals you from your sleep

The heaviness inside doesn't know what it wants
so it cries, cries, cries....

lightening the soul 
taking away
the heaviness
of the weight 
that has
been placed 
upon the 
heart  
to teach you 
if only you
would only 
let me help you
all that is desired
here is your 
elevated state of
happiness...

C and V are gone forever
Punched too hard
Copy and Paste

Space bar holding court
Wanting a rally to protest 
The heaviness of my fingers.

I slap them happily
Typing 85 words a minute
Unconcerned about their silly protest....

Wetness,the dress in what we born,

Sweatiness in stress,fitness or torn,

In wetness and sweatiness,

In proudness or shameless,

In heaviness or lightness while we grow,

But the sweatiness,is the business at the end all go!...

Olden wordsmiths surely got it right,
one syllable to express the pain,
foggy heaviness clenching lungs,
razor-sharp edge gutting cleanly,
spear point piercing leaden heart,
weary shoulders, arms drooping
and all because of sudden rejection....

Weight 


It’s even lesser than
The light in weight,
But greater than the cosmos,
With its heaviness,
And only that little heart 
Could hold it,
If it’s clear from envy
And full of love.

It hasn't bitten yet
Sense lingers still of green and blue
But memories come shivering
My skin still damp    though    chilling through

Something in the air
Spells of heaviness    gently falling
Strange music of despair
Through Nature's voice is calling...

SATURDAY EMPTINESS


When are you coming back?
I have this Saturday emptiness
Supporting my heaviness
Amidst the closing night.
At least I am able to entertain my loneliness,
With galaxy of dreams.
I miss your love now,
So come to me and we’ll drink
That unassuming love with joy....
