I'm just taking a break from ... "life" hence the following.  I see, however, that there are already more titles so apologies for not being able to keep up.


Some Things I Need To Write About And Should
because When you Say Nothing At All,
A Simple Plea travels in Circles
like A Lonely Breath
and from memory recites
An Ode To Hermit Crabs.

But Glamour Travel Twice Daily
isn’t exactly Massaging The Shear
and Wishing It’s The Need
doesn’t bring Friendship Everlasting.

Dear Poet Friends
I’ve been accused of Plagiarism
by that Woman
but Sticks and Stones ZZ11
aren’t Purging with Tears
the Arrivals At The Station
of God’s Kiss
and the Esquire Cover Up.

Sometimes Love is an Ache That Feels
and When It’s All You Have
you sit By The Fire
with arms Akimbo
and ask of no one
If You Aren’t Here To Kill Me,
Why Did You Track Me Down?

Of course it’s The Struggle From There
and an Unrelenting Worry
as to how to reach the Plateau
and place Fingertip Impressions
of Sweet Longings in Our Hearts
that causes consternation.

I guess it’s a question of Mind Over Matter
(A Conscious Choice)
as to whether Invisible Forces
and Love in the Afterlife
are Little Beggars of Tan My and Hue
or The Mother And The Babe
or a Wolf or maybe even Ghost Dancers.

Oh, Divvy, Divvy!  
I can’t go into the Garden
or Into The Dark Of Life
while I’m Waiting For Sleep To Set In
like a Coastal Assault
so I think about The Melt Of Me
and wonder if it’s Jet Lag
or Simple Majesties
that are responsible for My Identity Theft.

Finally and thankfully
the cause and effect
of coke and overindulgence
commonly known as C&O
send me into oblivion
on a Heavy Sigh!

Helen

Sometimes you feel like a nut!
Sometimes you don't!

Excellent work!  This has got to be so very hard to do.
Fun read!
