Letters to No One

‘Had conversation yesterday—
No One was listening.
Said the same things I always say,
They somehow lost their sting.
The winds grew chill, the clouds grew bleak
As all distress declares;
But I just turned the other cheek,
‘Cause I know No One cares!

So I wrote a letter today—
Addressed it to No One.
The mailman took it on his way,
The words can’t be undone.
With talk of smiles—adoration—bliss
To brighten up those skies;
I know No One will share my kiss
If I just close my eyes.

Though it’s funny, I must confess,
To finally come to see
No One’s always shared this address,
And most unfailingly.
I’ll chalk it up to Destiny.
I’ll ride the fate she’s spun—
Finally share my soliloquy,
Yield my love to No One.

A peace I know will always be
A voice but in my head,
‘Just can’t express the ecstasy
Of No One in my bed.
Tomorrow shared eternally—
Today, such joy profound.
I give to No One all of me,
And get back not a sound.

Sound of sadness with a simple shrug of the shoulders and a smile. Nice write, to No One.

Ahhh Mikey - This one hooked me and then pulled me in. It takes the power in a poet's pen to do that and I liked it. Namyh

Michael, love the spin on the last verse...
"A peace I know will always be
A voice but in my head,
‘Just can’t express the ecstasy
Of No One in my bed.
Tomorrow shared eternally—
Today, such joy profound.
I give to No One all of me,
And get back not a sound."

It's a canyon of wonder those soulful thoughts

true love never looks after it's own interests
