“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”

Nightime

Into the night

Seeing the fright

Feeling its hand on my shoulder

I feel as if it is taking me under.

Knowing there is no help here

But frankly searching for someone near.

It takes over my thoughts, my head is a mess

Cannot lose myself within this abyss.

Must stay strong

Get back to where I belong.

Cannot give up or in

To the turmoil that will ascend.

Perpetual  night time blackness

Or is my own souls blackness that prevails?

Caught here till my mind eases

In between the nights creases

Agile though, I remain

Caught up in this night-time game.

My Darling

Small things can be great to.

Just like the part of my heart I share with you.

I stumble on the ways to show you my love in its truth

You try to understand regardless, but you are not a sleuth.

I fail at the things I try to show you

But my heart for you has always been true.

I mistake the things that you never say

I am slow sometimes, but you show me anyway.

I often wish for a simpler life

But that never happens, regardless of that I am still your wife.

My heart is yours to take,

Just don’t ever feel the need to hesitate.

Come with me my darling,  into our life’s cove

And we will spend our lives following each other’s love.

COMPETE

Anything that’s done, does not a competition make.

I once thought so, but that was my mistake.

If I can’t stand the heat in the kitchen

I should not stand in the way of  someone’ else’s competition.

Although I will compete if need be.

Just not in everything I do, because that is just not me.

Three things challenge July 23rd 2018

POEM by MwsR

Today I am visiting a hotel

There is not very much to tell

In it you will find

Something perplexing to your mind

You need to be silent when staying here

Because there is no noise for you to hear

What you will see will be peculiar

A most humble caterpillar.

He stays here in this hotel

He doesn’t talk to anyone, as you can tell.

He stays so silent you think you’re alone.

I wonder if this place is also his home.
