Someday... Again

In quiet times I look upon my shelf of memories
and see you there, weak or strong
but never forgotten.
Today the nightmares returned
in my morning dreams.
Though my mind was on you, the ugly interfered
storming through the smiles
that touched my lips
when resting against yours
there, on my pillow of thought.

Something about you charms my within,
wings my flight, speaks my language
erases my fears, allowing me
to be myself, no pretense,
just me and the other side of Alice.
Why do I batter myself, torment with the struggle
rather than retire those old images
and come home to me?

You are my in-between, the unsaid
that needed saying, the lingering touch
that sustains the hope in me,
the hand that reaches out
to lift me from the gray,
the painters brush that perfects the belief
that I am not just the tears of yesterday
but am the someday of tomorrow.

Maureen,
This is a wonderful write but  I'd like to see the melancoholy put aside for a while.

Thanks for reading Larry,

On Second Thought

My life is so chaotic although
it rests in still.
I hold the words within my soul
releasing words of will.
Somedays my body wants to do
my mind says no! no! no!
and other times it's mind that goes
and body stops the flow.
I am the freeing of my soul,
but ghosts of past stop by,
reminding me of "not to do's"
and "go aheads" to try.

I may not please (you) all the time,
I may please none at all.
But inside me the words just come
and allow what must to fall.
I'm happy just to be alive
and write and live to feel.
My insides shelter much that's hid
as I search tomorrow's real.

I love how you handled the ending. Not to mention that you wrote "pillow of thought."
