The Ghost Of Yesterday

The Ghost Of Yesterday

I am the ghost of yesterday;
tomorrow can never be;
the future has arrived today;
and I am the future me.

I lament a tomorrow that never came;
its future was so pristene;
neither peace; nor success, bear my name;
all of it; merely a dream.

The Pain Of Separation

The Pain Of Separation

No life was created to live alone;
we all need companions, and friends;
now in a kingdom away from home;
our pain of separation descends.

We begin life in a nursery environment;
where there’s one to take care of us;
getting attention, has but one

The Natural Placebo

The Natural Placebo

A philosopher said; “I think; therefore, I am,”
a most fascinating description;
we might further add: I think; therefore I can;
a cure; requiring no prescription.

The mind is a marvelous natural placebo;

Tears Never Lie

Tears Never Lie

words are sometimes, thoughts slurred;
our imagination’s inventions.

Unloved

Unloved

Many times in my life; I felt all alone;
it seemed such an empty feeling;
almost as though I had lost my home;
a lack of love sent me reeling.

Love is the essence; the purpose of life;
emptiness comes, with its passing;
