Soul Searching




The time is beckoning

For some soul reckoning

And so I’m sitting here

Groping, hoping, and (maybe moping?)

For some shedded light to appear



My words are fumbling

My thoughts-jumbling

My hands support my head

As I write, nail bite, for some insight

But am confused instead



My mind is brewing,

What am really I doing?

With my life, with my days

Prioritizing? Compromising? (Analyzing?)

Going in the right ways?



Others may keep busy

With paces so dizzy

Though it might seem to me

As acting, distracting (not reacting)

No time to think; to be.



But I am linking

My life to some thinking

And before my eyes

Unfurling, yet swirling, twirling

Don’t know where my destiny lies.

Memories



Those days have passed
They didn’t last
Of spending time together
Back in the day
We thought it would stay
Be part of us forever

We were as a whole
Reaching towards a goal
Hoping to go far
The times we have shared
Laughed, talked and cared
Made us who we are

Now images of the mind
Memories of all kind
All stored inside us
Though physically apart
These feelings of the heart
Are what still unites us

RE: lation ships



On sunny seas, it is a breeze
To sail gently and with ease
The air is light, the day is bright
Direction is clear, as you please.

When there isn’t hailing its smooth sailing
A straight course without flailing
Relaxing afforded, when boarded
Can arrive without failing

What a wonder, in time of thunder
How easy it is to blunder
What does it take, for the trip to make
And not be torn asunder?

Dishes Wishes



I feel that twitching
Of my fingers itching
To write something good

I could hear my dishes
And laundry; it wishes
I do as I should

But for once (a'right twice)
I t would feel so nice
Just to sit and stay

And make believe
That I am relieved
From my duties today.

Is it too much to ask
Absolved from my task
For, well, just because?

Can there be some break 
Which I can take
From reality and its' laws?


Well, as I sit hear and reckon
The dishes still beckon
No rest for the weary

My laundry don't care
(We need what to wear) 
Regardless the theory.




Hmmm…
I still feel that twitching....

The Caring Theory


I have this theory
That times I am wary
Of people who care,

When they are being nice
And have good advice
That they're willing to share.

Is it something genuine?
Or are they being a heroine?
The motive’s not clear,

I think that I know
The intention will show
Eventually, it will appear.

They say it for my good
And really it could
Yet do I feel myself fear?

If I feel the need
Their words to heed
To do exactly as I hear,

Will they take it as rejection
If I don't use the suggestion
Making it my burden to bear?

Or can they understand
That they can't really understand
...Is that the true meaning of care?

If Only





I could change 
And rearrange
My life, tho' I admit
It would sound strange

That the meaning of words
Will be opposite than heard
All in my control
Without it being absurd


Like


Slow times will pass
     Good times will last
            Difficult people dealings
                Won't lead to bad feelings
            The end will be right when I begin
                And fat would be thin.
          Tired would be awake
     Give instead of take

And to just switch around

   Up, instead of down
If only, 

If only, 
        Up, instead of down.

Unmasked





I wonder what would be
If when you would ask,
"Hi, how are you?"
And I'd take off my mask.

If I'm happy I would share
But also if I'm sad
My voice would reflect
My feelings, good or bad.

When asked how I'm feeling
I have to look at you and see
Can you handle the truth?
Or am I forced to be happy?

I'm starting to get confused
What I'm saying to who
I feel I'm living a lie
'Cause that's what I gotta do.

I'm thinking if the day will come
That I'll take off my mask
And I'm sorta wondering
Will you regret you've asked?
