    Poem: Thank You – 27/06/20

    Sometimes I don’t feel like writing,
but something compels me
to create,
 
to dig deep beneath
the superficial,
to find something meaty,
or rich like marrow, 
a delicious read to taste.
 
Something tantalizing,
that the reader will
hunger for,
whetting the appetite,
will palatable words soar?
 
What can I create?
What can I make?
That will appeal to others
evermore?
 
It is my duty
with this pen,
to detail something
both truthful and meaningful
that cannot be ignored by them.
 
But, I can fail in this measure,
no matter the arduous
work and time
I put into a piece,
 
some works are destined to 
have little success,
some untoward qualities that
won’t beckon to thee.
 
I can’t please everyone
with my daily content,
although I will
thank you all,
those who remain,
those who decided to stay,
 
even those curious,
for a fleeting look,
I am so grateful
for your presence hereupon this day.
 
Please visit another time,
when you view the moment opportune,
to share in my thoughts,
up, up, and away.
 
I know sometimes
my words may be stale,
perhaps for you
they do not ring true,
 
but I’m only human,
with imperfections 
just like you,
and my words can
carry fault with them, too.

But I thank you for
your attention,
as I happily reflect
or share bittersweet disconnect,
 
and for allowing yourselves
to be an audience,
I am utterly thankful
that my words you continue to peruse -

I hope to see your inquisitive faces 
again very soon.

    Poem: My Dear Readers – 20/12/19

     I sit back and wonder to myself,
 who you all are,
 where you come from, 
 how you’re feeling,
 what brings you to my world?
  
 I wish I could see each of your faces,
 greet you with happiness for allowing me 
 a portion of your day
 where I can feature with my words
 and hopefully sentimentally reach you,
 or perhaps prove as strident and bold, 
 or maybe I’ll make you smile your seconds away.
  
 I appreciate the moments you take 
 to read of how I think,
 presenting what means something to me,
 I appreciate you and you and you and you, 
 Why, every single being.
