Lost It

I seemed to have lost it
can't find it, my own rhyme.
The rhythm is off a bit
words hard to define
my feelings, of lately,
the pleasures of past.
I seem to have lost it
in ache, dyes been cast.

Short are my words
and the syllables, too.
Tiny the phrases
when thinking comes due.
Lines of no meaning,
just blank in-betweens.
I seemed to have lost it,
reserves been too lean.

Today is my un day
though technically still
clinging to passions
of once-hads until...
a word,  would  be nice
of remembrance you'd think.
But I seem to have lost it.
thirty years in a blink.

It's hard to not remember the good, just hard remembering it alone. Thank you C

I don't know if I should wish you a happy birthday or commiserate with one who may be feeling the hazy dismal malaise I feel currently creeping up. In any event I'm certain we'll survive. Enjoyed.

Nakd,
Nicely done, you haven't lost a thing. In fact you gained quite a bit. *L*

Lost it?  You?  Hah!  Just putter in that Victorian mansion and read Passions occasionally and you will be right back there.  Maybe your muse is planning for Mardi Gras

Nicely done,

Isn't it strange the days we remember. Seems the sad ones are the ones that stick in our heart and mind.
I can't remember what I did in my thirties, too much time has passed. I'm only thinking of what today holds for me.

Hard to explain the things that
undo us ...
you've expressed it well.

Wynter - lost it I, somewhere in time. But perhaps it will come back, once again...

I know what you mean about 30 years and I know what you mean about the fleeting part of it all, believe me. You just keep writing and feeling, that's the only thing that matters.

Hey, I know what you mean, it is hard to not remember certain days, even when they led to heartache.
Nice write.

Understood, but remember your best is yet to come. This is just a time to regroup.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

Wynter...You haven't lost your rhyme for sure!  My thirties were not so great, the 40's flu by, I've enjoyed my 50's...now looking forward to the big 60.  (PS..I used Naked Thoughts in a poem I wrote today, not meaning you at all.please forgive me for this inconsideration.)

Grand old thirty-one...and a lifetime to go. Can't imagine you spending any time alone without it being by choice, but alone on your birthday...yeah, kind of a bummer I guess, if  you're into counting the years.  Me, lot's of years, running neck and neck with Martie but I don't count the chronological ones, just the ones between the ears and I think I may finally be approaching twenty-one...hee, hee.

Wrote this awhile back but will say HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU with it...(memories ARE great!)  S M I L E You!

Remember When



Remember when
every birthday was a wondrous event
and every year seemed to pass so slow?
Remember how you couldn't wait
for another year to pass?
Remember the fun,
the games,
the friends,
how great it was,
back then?
Remember the little girl
with the gorgeous eyes,
the beautiful smile;
that bubbly,
loveable,
wonderful creature of God,
that everyone loved,
and wanted for a friend?

Remember yesterday?
And all the other days,
that passed with the wind?
Remember the good times?
The happy times,
the fun times,
the times you never wanted to end?

Remember the sad times?
The bad times…
the pain,
and the sorrow
the heartache,
the crying,
and the wishes that it would end?

Remember all those days.

Remember that it took each and every one
of those days and all the good,
and bad events,
to bring you to the person you are today.
The person that radiates a glow
that fills us all with warmth
every time she smiles.
The one that lights the night,
and brightens our day
every times she looks our way.
The soul that's loved so deeply
by all that hold her dear.

Remember that birthdays
don't ever grow old,
they just mold you,
and grow you,
with each passing year.

Happy Birthday, friend nakdthoughts...

Jimmy
