Of Simple Needs

Each day becomes a bit more painful
as the whispering of my thoughts
begin their cease.

It might have been once, the challenge of you,
to watch you watching me, the next of you
sending waves of by-gone years
stirring the simple needs of love.

The patience taught is running out,
the timer turned over one too many times,
the sand soaked in humidity,
stuck on a yesterday, to never continue.

Grains of me still cling,
but know the need to go on.
There were no last words.
If so, my mind has rubbed them out,
protecting me from feeling cheated.

I have fallen by the wayside,
lines of music never ours,
just old refrains that use to be.

~~*~~

I had an image of you, this Knight
who had lent his sword to me
to slay all the dragons in my life,
to free myself from those memories
that continue to shroud my existence.

You are here now, in my view,
traveling my parallel
but back away each time I reach for you,
never allowing me to cross your plane,
to add the simple of me
to color the darkness of you.

M

Maureen, Your writing cuts to the core of any given situation. Awesome. Chris

M.  I feel the same as 'Deer, you come
through so often with so many unique ways
of expressing thought that I wish I had
thought of as well.  Nicely written.

Chris,*s
You make me smile. I never know what is going to come out of my mind until it does.
Thank you hugs

Michael, well that sure is a compliment for me, because I always wish I could write  like you. Maybe we can do a duet some day.

Barry, sometimes I think I twist the words and phrases  around..sort of like those Pennsylvania Dutch do here. I think I have been living among them a bit too long ... 28 years to be exact

Thank you very much
hugs
