Premium Member in a funk

wilting in the setting sun
dissolving deflating
undernourished underfed
neglected rejected

unknown
a mystery
if any degree of pampering
can bring me back to life

Premium Member -A Heart Beats


Behind the mayhem and drama

Beats a sweet loving heart

A childlike playful heart

A heart lacking in self love and worth 

An isolated troubled heart

A self inflicted undernourished heart

A heart that stopped beating at the age of thirty eight

A heart that should still be beating

An anorexic heart

Spirit

Something inside of me fails,
It says I am undernourished and ill fed,
Something inside of me churns,
It fumes and frets for escape,
Something inside of me feels dirty,
It yearns for clean honesty,
Something inside of me condemns,
It cautions and warns acts,
Something inside of me weeps,
It mourns the end of goodness,
I feel dead as yet live,
As this very thing inside of me,
Wants to stay alive "dead".

Wasting Food

I hate to see a plate of wasted food
uneaten stuff thrown callously away
no care for hunger and starving lot
delicious delicacies left to decay.

An ocean of undernourished children
skinny bones, wait for a morsel of toast.
Scrapping leftovers in  drains and bins,
Superpowers or frankenstein ghosts?

I hate to see a plate of wasted food,
My only appeal, is this what we  should?
