Even one sheltered, out of sight

Will find escape, when others threaten

 

Author’s Note:  If you look toward the lower right side of the photo, you’ll see a heron in flight.  I did not know he was in the reeds when I took this picture.  My daughter pointed it out to me.

I suppose it should be easy

To find the answers that I seek

But things are always in my way

And the outlook’s rather bleak

To simplify my very thoughts

I get lost, in this big world

Waving flags to passersby

Not noticing it’s still furled

I know I’m not making any sense

Sad to say, at times I ramble

Wish there was a way to rectify

A life, that’s such a shambles

What I have left, from my evenings with you

Holds me spellbound, haunted, the desire was true

Games that we played, seemed like hours on end

You were my lover, but never my friend

Bound to you, my eyes, always blind

Marks round my wrists, for days, to remind

Your sentiments toward me, extremely erotic

Sent my heart, into beats, oh! so chaotic

No other could touch me, that, you forbade

Yes, I was your prisoner, caught in your charade

In the trees, of my favorite hideaway

I can hear you chirping your heart out

Your song, letting me know spring is approaching

Optimistic Pessimism ~ #poetry

I always tend to be an optimist

But these days I’m not quite sure

Every day it gets harder and harder

I don’t know how much I can endure

I try not to get overwhelmed

By the daily routine of my life

But I’m stuck in a rut, an abyss

One that’s filled with unbearable strife

Pessimism was never my forte

Though the times have changed, you see

I’m beginning to think I’ve forgotten

How beautiful this life can be
