Ah, to sink into a sea of chardonnay

Allow it to drown my sorrows away

No need for a glass, nor a bottle or two

I’ll just throw myself in, and relax for a few

Take in the aroma, of apples and oak

Forget about time, as I’m in for a soak

This is my fantasy, a dream quite divine

Just me and oceans of chardonnay wine

All this playing

Leaves my tongue hanging out

Just let me bury

My cute little snout

In a bowl of cold water

Please fill it up

Then get out of my way

Cause I’m a thirsty pup!

To Dwell in the Mundane ~ #poetry #sadness

The days are upside down

A whirlwind of unknowns

Each morning, I face them

A mirror image of who I am

But where do I need to be?

I overlook the important

To dwell in the mundane

Endlessly searching for me

Wondering where I went

Yet, never finding myself

It’s a brutal pattern

A continuous thread

Unraveling, dangling

With no scissors in sight

To cut away the fray

Until it is too late

Everything I have done

Denigrated, criticized

Until the attacks cease

Forever brought to an end

 

Authors Note:  Just letting you know I am fine.  My poetry, lately, has been reflective of those who are not fine.  I am merely a voice for those who cannot speak…

My Time, So Measured – #poetry #JanuaryWriting

It’s all rusted now
Torn and tattered
Years of neglect

I wish I could disavow
Thoughts too scattered
Lacking self-respect

I’ve walked a fine line
Unafraid to crossover
My time, so measured

Though forlorn, I am fine
With the promise of clover
And a life, truly treasured
