yeah, this is life for me

think i have been listening to too much Hank, Merle, Toby, Trace and George today, lol.

 

 

this tired ass now out of bed

making sure the cat is fed

bones that ache and then give way

i probably should't be up

in the light of day

 

how old i am i cannot tell

since my health's gone all to hell

i'm surely not December-but am i May?

i probably shouldn't think this

in the light of day

 

drawn to you like that dumb moth to the flame

from day one with you nothing's been the same

oh, i'll burn my ass-but then, who's to say?

i probably shouldn't debate it

in the light of day

 

all the ways i'd like to have you-hmm...

i bet there are some we never even knew

come on over, big boy, don't you wanna play?

i probably shouldn't say this

in the light of day

 

damn, i should be sleeping

instead of writing this dull thing

work to do tomorrow and bills to pay

but i probably shouldn't love you

in the light of day

Awwww, expressions of feelings so fresh and raw, but always know you are not alone. This really is such a creative, refreshing piece, thanks...

Be always safe,

This is honest and has the scent of raw truth; the reader cannot help but be deeply affected. I don't know who are Hank, Merle, Toby, Trace and George but they obviously inspired you. (I'm assuming they are singers/musicians but I could be wrong.) By the way, I do not think this poem is dull at all. Thank you for sharing it. Love, hugs, and my very best sentiments to you, Michelle,

Never mind the work and put the pain aside with a little attention from your Big Boy Michelle. Thank you for sharing a smile.

I love this new and almost inspired style and format for you Michelle it seems to suit you so well. As for the aching bones and staying in bed I can understand both all too well (dragging my own butt this AM). Now as for the wanting that shines with a smile I am sure that "Big Boy" would be knocking down that door and dragging you back to bed...work be damned. lol
hugs

this is definitely a keeper in the vernacular of your poem -- I very much like the tack you employed here -- refreshing and different -- now stay awake and write us another -- JMW

I woke up early this morning and found your poem. It's still dark outside, but I'm sure this poem will be just as good in the light of day.

If this was put to music, it would be a country-western hit. This was expressed so well! Feelings I sure can relate too! SC
