My Weary Mind

Every night I sit alone
But now
Today
My eyes are throbbing
Now today
My mind is weary
Striving for some understanding
And words that is so black
Calls onto me
Mixing it with white blossom
Now my mind is a battlefield
They who does not know these feelings
They today is light at heart
While they travel on clouds
Leaving me to breathe


The dust
Of my broken heart
But there is wisdom too
Pondered learning
Mused on wisdom
If I read my heart


And study
My thinking… still folly
I dream of satisfaction
They who does not know these things
Sleeps un - troubled through the night
Never read the emotions
That I hide in Poetry
I never write from ambition
For You urge me
Inspired me through
Hours of darkness
Should I try and change my ways
And pick up crumbs
Prison’ d by my love
What am I if love enslaves me
When age and weakness defeat me
I see you in all my writes and dreams
But you not with me
I watch the darkness falling
And hills withdraw their shadows
The sun your love
It’s all gone
The sea wind still
Silent
All


At

Well this is my take-don't feel alone
in those feelings and remember you're
not the only one with fitful nights;)
You are a big hearted person that is
so beautiful. Please remember that Tinky!

Tinks,

If I could be the sea of emotions you work your tidal magic on, I would wash over your toes in constant reminder that your creations are your genesis and the light you seek is always around you just waiting to be seen.

Peace my friend,

Then as well as the rest,
You need to as well your mind rest,
Maybe while over the knee of Alex,
He doesn't seem far from the truth,
Though you wouldn't get me in that position, forsooth...;) ed

I said before
and say again
you need a gentle spanking
by a naughty man

that'll make your blood rush
to your sad cheeks
and bring new life
with a dazzling smile

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
