Wrath Of What Has Been

I’ve experienced the very wrath
Of what has come, has been
No remorse felt or regrets that last 
No happiness seen. 

Let me be away from this
Be and feel pure joy, pure bliss 
And that happiness 
That’s been evading me.

This I ask, beg and plead
Knowing it’s up to me to be
In that embrace, that love 
I want to feel and see.

Splish, Splash Running Fast

Splish, splash
Running fast
Down the water
Running
Chasing those that swim
So fast.

Ducking
Diving
Hiding
Escaping jaws chasing
There in water running fast.

No chance of catching
They are evading.

Then something changes
One is separated
Forced up
On slick wet grass.

Holy cow!
Catch a fish so big
Is what I did.

But the question is
What do I do with it now?
