Day 4 – NaPoWriMo 2013 - I'm right here

Day 4 – NaPoWriMo 2013 - I'm right here

I'm right here

(Jaquith 2013)

You ask me if I'd heard

I ask you, "Of what?"

You ask me if I know

I tell you, "There's an answer."

You ask me if I love you

I ask you, "How does it feel?"

You ask me of our future

I tell you, "I'm right here."

Day 3 - NaPoWriMo 2013- A Lie

Day 3 - NaPoWriMo 2013- A Lie

So, I said no challenges.  Ironically, yesterday’s challenge was to write about “a lie”.  As is drove home tonight this “little irony” found its way in ...

A lie

(Jaquith 2013)

A lie, is a lie, is a lie, is a lie ...

Your subtle omissions

The empty spaces in-between 

A simple testament

To darker reaches, places unseen

Delusion, collusion

Swept away by illusion

In the heat of passions lurks a hunger

A voracious emptiness, hard to contain

Lost in a rage of emotion

Choices need to be made

To believe again, rekindle my pride

Or slink away, victim to another's crime

Whiskey burns away the pain

Yet here I remain

No greater a man, only rounded at the edges

Wiser, addicted to a memory

This pain, it feeds me

With a self-indulgent indignation

It manifests a denial 

Gives me reprise

And yet,

Wouldn't I have done the same?

Day 2 - NaPoWriMo 2013

Hmm

(Jaquith 2013)

Everyone is trying to hide something

A look

A love

An unsightly role

Perhaps,

The depth of their soul.

Day 1 - NaPoWriMo 2013 - Just Don’t

Day 1 - NaPoWriMo 2013

And so the insanity, therapy for some, begins again. No themes this year, just what ever comes to mind.  Maybe there will be a decent musing or two by the end. Enjoy.

Just Don’t

(Jaquith 2013)

She smiles at me

That silly little smile

That says she knows

What I’m all about

She holds me for a while

She finally makes me smile

She says its OK to cry

She gives me reason to try

The hurt will never change

Nothing left to rearrange

So many reasons here to care

Yet I spiral, gasping for air

Where would I have gone?

And what would I have lost?

Tell me there’s something more

Don’t make me count the cost

Just don’t make me count the cost

She smiles at me again

That silly little smile

That brings me to myself

To the man I need to be.

I see it now
(Jaquith 2013)

There is a way
I see it now
You were waiting for me there
Smiling, with a flower in your hair

The sun was warm
The night's heat
Still close, not quite a memory
A fire that rages for you alone

A new love
A fantasy in reach
The morning's sun
A life undone

Kiss me baby
This is what its all about.

Day 11A - A Good Morning

To those of you who suffered through my poorly edited post earlier this morning, my apologies.  Wrist slapped, head bowed in shame … won't happen again.  Actually, it might.  I pulled off a solid C+ in elementary school spelling.  I am afraid things haven't gotten much better with time.  (Insert sad face)

After all of that nonsense, what was today's theme you ask? The five senses he says. What do you see, smell, feel, taste, and hear? In my haste this morning, I think I missed taste.  But no more edits, it stands or falls as it is.

So here I will try to make up for this morning’s disaster. Let me know if I missed anything:

A Good Morning

(Jaquith, 2012)

I’m a comin’, I’m a coming

Now keep it down you

Yes, yes, I can see you

Big green eyes for me today

"Are you lookin’ at me punk?  Are you lookin' at me?"

Now, now hush there little guy

Let your Momma sleep

You had her up all night

What's with the face?

Oh my, so that was the problem!

Feeling better now?

Man! What has your mother been eating?

There now, all cleaned up

Let’s go down stairs and get you a bottle

There, just the right temperature

Yes, Daddy knows how to do this

Yes he does … oh yes he does

Don’t tell your Mother though, it’s our little secret

There now, settle in

Tastes good little man?

Well aren't you getting strong

That's it

Don’t you ever let go -

Don’t you ever let go -

I will always be here for you Dude

Any time you need me

Oh, I hear your Mom

Should we go see?

No, no, we’re OK

You go back to sleep

Yup, I’ll get you in an hour

Or two … yes she’s funny isn’t she ... or three or four

A woman needs her beauty sleep

So they can take care of us silly men

OK now,

Perfect,

We have the TV all to ourselves

What should we watch?

Charle's Angels? 

OK, sounds good to me

Now don’t you let me fall asleep
I wouldn't want to miss a second of this.
