Misplaced Items

Oh, those darned things are
Never there when I need them!
Always somewhere else.
Usually left idle
In that moment I forget.

Premium Member What Could Not Be Kept

our love is finished
going through your leftovers
find nothing to keep
tossing of pictures, letters
souvenirs, knick-knacks, trinkets

all reminders gone
nothing left but bitterness
one thing I must keep

Premium Member Donate Unwanted Items

When the Spring season comes
All the closets get changed
Tossing out worn out clothes
They are no longer needed 

Or clothes that don't fit
Unwanted ornaments
A pile of books read
Toys collecting dust

All unwanted items
Donated to Good Will
Priced right for people
To use and enjoy

Its better to donate 
Then to throw away
Items folks can enjoy
It brightens their day

A Few Items

I miss you,
little dark splinter
rolled up by
the light that shines behind
my bad eye:
and when it snowed,
and when it rained-
into the sea
all you had to do was pick up and ride:
bare out the freeze.

I'm squatting homemade
mud paths;
It's all no good.
How can we not be helping you?
There's so much love for you.

So,
I can't stay
forever,
In blood ribbons-
I'll tug on,
worry and brave.
No tyranny
to the youth
still stuck
under my grubby nails.
Please,
Forgive me,
If I'm to lose

a few items.
