Poem Thoughts

 




Poem Thoughts


What’s in a poem?
Is it just words thrown together?
Or does it convey emotions and a thought?
Thought of an emotion or a picture you can see in your mind?
Does the thought translate to words to produce a poem?
Poems are words though some are verbal and some are spoken.

Surviving

 


Surviving

What is surviving?
Knowing you are alive.
Having a roof over your head.
Water to drink and food somewhere.
But knowing there is more to this.
Want the chance to grow and make income.
Surviving is fine in the moments,
But time to look beyond this and thrive.

What does love feel like?

The emotion beyond caring 

And touches the realm of intense thoughts and deep caring.

Love is knowing you want to be there no matter what happens.

Giving them a safe spot from all others.

Love is allowing them to be themselves without judgment. 

Love, please, don’t leave me.

Stay for us in this life.

Ode to a One

 


Ode to a One

Real live events can show you

Show you where you stand

Show you what must needs to come to an end and why

Show what types of real risks you are willing to take 

But that time is now over and sealed.


I won't ever forget you, 

the time we shared, 

the fantasies and feelings we shared, 

the mutual attraction of ourselves. 

You won't be forgotten in my timeline.

Back Again

 


Back Again

When they came back

I feel relieved to know they still exist.

Even if actions are not explained,

Their being still is.

Gives me the strength to move on and closure if needed.

Better to know they exist and are well

Than not knowing absolutely nothing and in midst of the void.

Appreciation

 


Appreciation

How shall I forget the kindness of others and the lessons?

Even though the people are memories since not around,

Their lessons are still relevant and mindful for my current lessons.

They saw something in me.

Even though they didn’t share what,

They used it to give me a new experience and help me to do something new.

Their thoughts are not in vain.

Musings in February

 


Musings in February

How I will never forget

The days of shared interests

Knowing I am not alone

Giving me courage to move on and take risks

Knowing I can make a difference in my own life
