Have you ever…..? Have you ever Had a longing So strong That it hurts you Causes you pain? Have you ever Wanted to stretch out Your hand And gently touch That gorgeous face? Have you ever Wanted to gently Caress Their lips With your own? Have you ever Wanted to hold Someone So close and so tight That you can feel Their warmth Drink their smell Feel both your hearts Beating as one? Have you ever Been in love? Have you ever Had to pull yourself Out of love When, truthfully, You don’t want to? __________________________ Silence Silence The language of calm Silence The indicator of loneliness The casting out of one From the larger group Silence The strongest form of communication Known to man And also the most humbling The most sinister The most debilitating Silence From a friend or dear one When no words are said Not even the raise of an eyebrow It engenders worry, fear, panic… Abject terror at such potential loss So little said No words, no sound And yet the pain That can be caused by nothing Is indescribable…. _________________________________ My feet A stinging burning sensation My calves Aching A feeling of any energy Draining away The flow whirling one direction Then another Like the washing up water As it disappears Forever down the plug hole! Home seems, and is, so far away I am so tired Despondency and forlornness Come hand in hand At times like this I am as exhausted as I knew I would be And yet Looking at the jobs Still to be accomplished The overwhelming feeling is That nothing at all, today, Has been achieved….. __________________________________ The breeze The smell The sounds of Rhythmic, lulling Lapping Unmistakable My mother, a Piscean Feels she should be By the sea. Me, a fire sign, Would be quenched to smoke And yet there is something about The huge expanse Of blue, green and grey That stretches out Forever…. That'll do. Maybe somehow posting poems will make me feel better....or not as the case may be...
