And so I woke
to an empty place
in my heart,
my life meaningless
at the moment.

I have vented
until depleted
and any more
is pointless.

I need to exercise
this burden
that weighs me down
and feed myself...
but with what?


I am so hungry
but nothing tempts
my appetite
and so I vacate my feelings
holding onto nothing
once more.

"Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."
(Will Moss)

damn, you're good at this free verse...I can't get it down I guess, and am amazed at those who can.

Dear Maureen, I feel for you, try to find love, it is out there as tomorrow.
Allow youself to have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. At times smile with yourself.

Be well:

As I woke unto an empty place
Where drought had been so long
I found the smallest, smallest trace
Where love did once belong

Between the tears I found a smile
Of which I thought had gone
Beneath the dirt of drought and mile
I found a heart still strong

With many tears of carried
Near a river came to flow
And as it runs it washes
And the debris seems to go

The hunger I’ve been feeling
Now is tempted by the green
The mind that now is healing
Is forgetting what has been

Tomorrow, yes tomorrow
Please tomorrow to me come
To leave behind the sorrow
And share again some fun

Sincerely
Rick

WhiteRose, well then  we both have the same friend

Sandpiper, thankyou

Dixie, I just start writing and whatever comes out, comes out..sometimes it rhymes when I dont feel like  rhyming and the opposite for free verse. I have a lot of inspiration, from friends and events in my life. *s

Rick, it's best to not try and find love, but to let it find you. Thank you for this lovely poem .


"Tomorrow, yes tomorrow
Please tomorrow to me come
To leave behind the sorrow
And share again some fun"

I will try...
