A full life not yet lived
Monday 4th March
.
Grief is invisible
And I may look okay
But inside my head
There’s pain and dismay
.
Oftentimes smiling
Happiness to display
Trying really hard
To keep the tears at bay
.
My precious sweet Angel
You were taken away
A full life not yet lived
I just wish you could stay
.
Love you forever

Not Even Boring
Written by Jacob Ibrag
You’re beginning to bore me, and you’re
not even boring. It’s just that you used to be this
shiny thing. I’d hold you up to the sun and watch you
shine on me. And now its become too familiar. And now
we’ve become routine. You’re the same as the one from
before, and the one before that. I’ve heard all of
your words, in this soul and the next.

Life Answered
Life answered in the simplest ways, abundant
the velvety richness of the chocolate bundt cake
garnished with hand-whipped cream
and raspberries
baked for a great aunt’s birthday
by a daughter
watching a daughter, she knows as mom,
care for her grandmother
who is fighting to be able
to eat chocolate bundt cake together next year
and the year after
Life answered…
in the soft petals of flowers
in the persistent rubs of a loving cat
in the weight of feet of snow removed
with the orange-scooped shovel
by the strapping son, too soon a man
in the margins edged with ink and lace
in the intoxicating rhythm of the hang drums
ringing from the mountainside
in songs shared, life’s playlist, revealing
inside, by the fire, glass of wine and book in hand
pleasures so simple
even Henry Miller could not complain
in NCAA basketball games won, or lost
it doesn’t…

Chivalry is not Dead ~ #poetry #WOTD #RDP #DWP
If we were to speculate that, indeed, chivalry is dead
We could become dull, monotonous, and quite unseeing
Perhaps, if we didn’t carry such silly thoughts in our head
We would choose, to pay heed, to our own life’s well being
Word of the Day – Monotonous
