Sometimes
Sometimes he eats in silence and still sets a plate for her. Sometimes the mirror fogs but her reflection stays. Sometimes he opens the closet just to breathe her in. Sometimes he flinches when her song enters the room. Sometimes he writes letters to a mailbox six feet deep. Sometimes he wears her favorite color like a wound. Sometimes he cooks...

Do you now feel at ease?
Do you now feel at ease? When it's all said and done When you've seen and loved Saw the darkest side of life And even questioned the sands of time When you looked up in the sky And acknowledged the beauty of the sun Seen storms imbibe people and trees How did you feel? When you sometimes had friends But sometimes thought you...

Premium Member Eyes, Chico, never lie, but sometimes I wish they could weave stories
Eyes, Chico, never lie, but sometimes I wish they could weave stories, In the depths of your eyes, where love once danced like a shining star, Now there's only a pale shadow, a name carved in the sand of time, Your eyes no longer sparkle, I see the hidden storms, Contempt and confusion, wounds hidden like treasures in the...

Premium Member Intrusive Thoughts
I have a voice within my mind that never stops talking, it is rattling and annoying and intrusive most of the time: though, at times it speaks to me of random memories, like the smell of grandma's cookies with hints of chocolate; or the feel of my baby's soft downy hair. But, there are moments when my voice is hateful...

Never Posted
I wrote then paused, ball pen hovering— the words too bare. They sat on yellow sheets, unsealed and unsent in little brown envelopes. A line meant for truth, one for letting go, another for quiet peace. I wrote “I miss you,” maybe even “I love you,” then crossed half the page. Sometimes I read through the unsaid in my heart, and almost sent a word. Your name— blue, unfading crawl the old sheets, but my voice never...

Premium Member Sometimes, the longing for her overwhelms me, and no one else knows this silent pain
Sometimes, the longing for her overwhelms me, and no one else knows this silent pain, Most people think my pain is just poetry, just words, images from my wandering mind, They don't see the battles I fight deep within my soul, where shadows dance on the edge of memories, Maybe sometimes I lie in poetry because the truth...

SOMETIMES
Sometimes, I wonder What success truly means If it steals your peace Or dims the joy in your loved ones’ dreams. I watch the world in motion Racing for applause and praise Chasing coins that melts easily While warm hearts drift away. They miss the meals that matter Trading laughter for a task Declining calls with trembling guilt Behind masks of ambition. Sometimes, I truly wonder What success...

lonesome sometimes
on the lines of 'I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry Song by Drifting Cowboys and Hank Williams' --------------------------------------------------- I'm So Lonesome, I Could Cry Sitting by the window On a creaky wooden chair Light fine rain falling since daybreak I can’t go out and play I am not a child, I can’t play Damp grains in the bird feeder Untouched water in bird bath Not...

Sometimes Love In Silence Is Too Deep
Sometimes, you stay far away To see the situation clearly. Sometimes, being silent is nice To think things twice is wise. Sometimes, you will love the moon Without knowing that darkness able it to shown. Sometimes, love is never enough It need sacrifice and conviction to connect the gap....

Sometimes Not Only The Mountains Shine
There is a legend deep in the Montana territory, The ancient tale of the shiny mountains that only few can see. Those majestic peaks soar upward almost piercing the clear blue sky, Yet one knows the real shine lies deep inside. Hidden deep inside the mountains it waits patiently, Waiting for that chosen one to set it free. Soon...

The making
"You know .. Trying to be good doesn't guarantee they gonna notice Leave alone appreciate it All they see is probably trash Constantly making you feel like such Pushing you to the wall Threats fired soon as you try to stand tall Fighting something that feels like bipolar With a feeling of isolation n hatred doesn't help You really know when...
