sitting beach side watching the ebb and flow of my life

The Distance Between

Sitting on the sofa
the silence separates them
like ripples in a pond
ever spreading wider
never reaching the end
she's heard all his jokes
he knows all her ways
there's nothing to be done
as they've no more left to say
damned if they do damned if they don't
can't live together won't live apart
they've outlived their love
it's enough to break your heart

Premium Member Longevity SK

Growing up with older adults was not always fun,
but I learned many valuable things.
I saw how health was important,
in what they ate and their activities.
The church goers had faith,
faith to get them through the tough times.
Once retired they kept going,
no sitting and watching TV all day.
Sitting was not good for them,
so they died way too early.
Longevity may come from family genes,
but one can always improve their own life.
So here is to Longevity,
may we all live to be one hundred and ten.


Sitting in the window

Iv been praying, is anyone there?
Iv been praying,  does anyone care?
I need some peace to balance the chaos 
I need someone to hold a seance

I'm lost in the water, can't get free
Oh how I hate being me
The noise is loud, scary at times
The silence deadly with blurry lines

Not able to leave my house
My body moves slow as a mouse
My legs are heavy,  almost locked 
Everywhere I go there's an invisible block

Sitting in the window,  music on
Smoking a cigarette In the sun
The heat warms the window , sounds of the cars
It's the calmest iv been, no thoughts of self harm

Curtains blocking me, I'm safe here
I'm so different from this time last year
Mania and physical illness leading the way
4 years now iv been in this pain 

Iv been praying but none are answered 
Some questions are best left unanswered 
Iv got to get through this blackness
Iv gotta rid all this madness 

Sitting alone in my window seat
I just wish I felt complete 
So much to deal with, no way out 
I wish I knew what all this was about

Sitting in my study room

Sitting in my lovely study room and confined to an arm chair in a lonely afternoon, 

Clearing the dense leaves and through the passages the retreating rays come from the tired and sleepy Sun. 

It touches discriminately my different body parts through smooth and kind submission, 

My books with three dimensional printing reflect the parallel beams and cause variable scattered emissions. 

The crystallographic effects are touching the eyes and create a vibrant picture in my  brain with numerous hidden captions. 

I am still in the rigid desk watching these beautiful resonating images without blinking,

 But unfortunately I have to leave and become mobile to join a gathering for felicitation.

Premium Member sitting in the sun

sitting in the sun cannot be explained
to those who have never experienced it

mole people who live in dank dark houses
caves, or sewer rat-like enclosures can never understand
the feelings or the joy of this

I don’t relish sharing my yard with them
so am keeping it quietly to myself


SITTING IN LIMBO

SITTING IN LIMBO
"What time is it?" Decades has passed..
I'm always the idiot, sleeping in limbo..
as  time tickles, the river flows, seasons come and go,  flowers flower and whither..  The birds keep singing sweet meloedies to the  rainbow?? sky above. 
I sit at that place where many rivers cross each other, there I shall always be, flowing with the rivers, singing with the birds, lapsing in limbo. I'm a handicap, crippled from birth.

You Got Lost Sitting

Your Replies?

Plagiarism crimes in synonyms.

Tensively you showered yourself 

Rather than writing yourself

Also references to another objective investigation

Concept Vacinity

Origining 

Living in a poor democracy 

Not bad

Living in anothers mangrove?

This mangrove eats foreign fertilizer 

Creating paper


Being concerned yet beneath another's fruit

Premium Member sitting and vegging

I could sit and veg in this chair all day
there are other tasks, there’s another way
living room is darkened and so I stay
I’m getting older, turning soft and gray

I’d never have done this back in the day
used to dance all day with a hey hey hey!
I would have never sat, or prone lay
Yet now here I sit, feeling okay

Diplomatic Sitting

 
Now it is time we sat down for supper
and manage the distance we will cover
before learnt fellows bite our dead soma
with foolish teeth borrowed from myxoma.
Nobody is happy at this table
I wait for the first step to be stable.
