Thankful

Thankful

For the words

That can come

From a moment

Of time

Thankful for the night

And the day

That surrounds our

Lives

Thankful to be

Allowed to say

Thanks

Today

Fearless Absence

Posted on November 8, 2022 by acupofsongwriting

The words

Of not

Being present

Present

An issue of contentment

How to hold back

Feelings that should be

Out in the open

Is a way of restraint

And test

For the easiest hopes

Blithe Time

Posted on August 23, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Not everything is a 10

Out of 10

Not everything do I care

To attend

Or understand

Sometimes

A blithe time

Is what is needed

For peace of mind

In this time

Just swimming and

Enjoying

Life

Flawless

Posted on January 11, 2022 by acupofsongwriting

Flawless

Is the hope

Of a mind

Stuck on a tight

Rope

Walking the way

With perfect balance

My own thoughts wonder

If flawless is just

A thought

Of what could be

And not what is

A Secret Trouble

Posted on January 11, 2022 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

A secret trouble

Holds down my heart

In ways

I never knew

What to do

When the whole of opportunity

Is now a faded blue

I hold back the anger

And now face to face

With the danger

Of a trouble

Held

Deep

Within

Lost and Not Found

Posted on July 30, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Will we circle back

To where it all began

In hopes of having a

Stable world

But it seems

As the world breaks

At the seams

All have doubled

On what has been lost

With not attempt

To find

What truth

May be left

Behind

Morning Blood

Posted on June 25, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

At first sight

There was hope

But then blood was drawn

With one poke

Of the eye

With the social feed

Roaring with fire

And stoked wherever you go

There was morning blood

Drawn

Even if you didn’t

Know

A Daily Science

Posted on June 18, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Is there a science

To the perfect day

From start to finish

No other way

Of looking at the same

Pieces to the puzzle

Hiding from the fears

Embracing the struggle

These are the acts

Behind making the most

Of the moments we are given

The Boom

Posted on March 25, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

The boom

Began with a single

Sale

Upon the receipt of

Transaction

Came a flurry of action

Until my great aunt

Sold her house

For 1.5 millions dollars

A cardboard cutout

Has reached the top of the market

Understandable

Posted on March 22, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

It was understandable

We both made mistakes

Offered our best

When we really pulled back

From each other

So it was a natural product

From two tense hearts

In sweet motion
