I Feel

I feel your presence
I feel your love holding on
To the beauty that was ours

When you were the only one
I really loved.

Times have changed
Times are not what they were

Still, I feel your embrace
Your breath kissing me
Surpassing
All that time, that space

Till the day
We’ll be together once again 
Once again.

I Forgot To Remember

I forgot to remember
All the things you did to me
I left them in the trash
Garbage
Now to me.

No more will I cry
Remorsefully
No more will I be held
Captive
By those things
You did to me.

My life is better now
The sun shines on a spirit
Free of anger
Love is the feeling
I feel here
Inside of me.

I Know You Haven’t Been

I know you haven’t been
On my side nor in between
Still I feel
You will come to be
A fan of all I’ve done
All I’ve been.

I Live In The Past

I live in the past
I see those days
I hear that heartbeat
Unable to make
Those old thoughts
Go away.

But

Not all sadness I feel
For joy and gladness
Support me today
I know I had, had it all
In the life I lived
Yesterday.

Anger Oozes

Anger oozes thru my bones
Frustrating cries
Amongst the moans.

No one knows the course I take
Be it bleak
Or forsake all around
Who try to help.

Nothing works
I am I feel, the one in hell
Who
Will surely melt.

I Hear The Voices Call

I hear the voices call
They echo through the valley
Down the lane and thru
The crowd at the mall.

Not sure just what they’re saying
No clear words call
But their meaning I hear, I feel
With every voice that speaks
Every echoing call.

Hearing Nothing

Hearing nothing, feeling all
How can I be in love
With nothing, nothing at all?

 With words I wander in my mind
Imaging scenarios, images of all kinds
Maybe won’t come to pass
Maybe will last and last.

Doesn’t matter
For I see, I feel
While hearing nothing
Nothing not at all.

I Feel

I feel
My hunger thirst
For a heart
That knows no bounds
See a stranger and know
That I am that one
And
May the world
In all it’s whole
Be a wondrous
Place to live.

I feel
I feel I need this.

Sweet Dreams

Sweet dreams come slowly
Quietly moving thru
Leaving behind visions
Memories I hold onto
Sometimes vivid
Then maybe vague
They play out active
There inside my head.

I feel I could touch
Hold tight
The figures in sweet dreams
That come to me
In the darkness
And early morning light.

Taking A Break

Taking a break
Going to wait til I feel
My thoughts are revived.

Will think of you still
But just not writing until
I feel an inspiring thought.
