Love is Love

Love is Love

If you knew my thoughts
my feelings
and sighs
then why did you do nothing

You saw my tear filled orbs
as you called them
my sighs were met
with your confident grins
and yet you did not speak
those words I longed to hear

As the world is your oyster
it is also mine
shedding tears over loss
which cannot be validated
is such a waste

Instead I will use those orb filled tears
to water the garden
to then clearly see the roses
and clip the carnations
making a bouquet of the truth
that love needs not so much words
but the feelings to back up the soul

This poem was in response to my Daily Prompt

My dear mother used to say “If a frog had wings then he wouldn’t bump his but.” It was usually in response to some lame excuse I was coming up with. Let’s try an “If-Then” poem. In the poem you would propose “If…” and respond, whenever it fits, with “then.” If you write a poem for this prompt, then please let me know. You can put it in the comments. If so, then I will be so appreciative.

If Today is Sunday

If Today is Sunday

If today is Sunday
it means that I will sleep
maybe until 7 a.m.
such a wild one as I am

If today is Sunday
my breakfast would be the same
but coffee would be longer drank
making the morning bliss last

If today is Sunday
my mind would go to things not work
but to the world as if in peace
and wondering what part I play

If today is Sunday
my time with family would be more relaxed
no duties to call my name
just chilling into the mood

If today is Sunday
a nap may call my name
a book may keep me company until I doze
and then it’s time for supper

If today is Sunday
leftovers will grace the table
life will lend spontaneity
and chilling would be the mood

If today is Sunday
my bedtime will be the same
as any weekday night
and I would rest in knowing this day was a delight

Historically Speaking

Historically Speaking

How much of what we say is going to happen is ironic
some go about predicting the future
and then looking back what was said would happen
has happened before they said it would
so how much is yet to be and has already happened
so predicting may be accurate or premature
history is in the making
whether it has already been made in prediction
or has been planned to make it come true

or just let it happen

or is there another point of view
historically speaking
it has happened before
do you remember this to be true
