Mixed Emotions

Some days one feels listless, languorous
thinking about the stillness compared to yesterday.
The sweeping of rain by cars
the only sound penetrating these walls.

I take my first sips of coffee in years,
hoping the caffeine will distribute equally
making my body wish to stir
and accomplish what is in my leftover mind.

I surrender to patience, drop the nagging of myself
knowing that time is always there and one day, soon
I hope to stop hovering over myself
and allow the dandelions in my life
to die on their own.

These lines are beautiful, rounding up a well-written poem. Your use of language (listless, languorous) works well with the pokm, and the whole thing has a smooth feel to it.

I enjoyed it very much. Well done

Kill me tonight and I will love again
Leave me to live and I live in pain
Leave me no love and I live in vain
Kill me tonight and kill the pain

I can sense the mixed emotions in your words.
and yes the hovering over ones self.

You know I love what you said about the dandelions growing on their own, opposed to pulling them up and tossing them across the yard.  

Morning hugs to you Maur~

Zaynab, thank you. I hope all is well in Kuwait.

Lori, the thistles gave me a break this year but those darn dandelions. I should just make wine out of them, but I don't drink

Our weather hasn't given me enough nice days to clean out my gardens. But I have to eventually.

Some day I am going to try an all weed garden and wouldn't I be surprised to see some flowers sneaking in?

The thought of surrendering to patience....like that.  Not an easy feat.
