Posted on May 12, 2020 by cdsmiller17

I gaze into her eyes (soft-colored blue, gazing back), She smiles, I grin, And we hold hands.   She stares away from me (into the Vacuum of my mind); She thinks about the future, My love, And me.   I … Continue reading →

Life (version two)

Posted on May 11, 2020 by cdsmiller17

  Life’s meaning’s lost and Time’s the same: My dreaming goes on, as does the rain.   Thoughts are a guided path that is ignored: I’ll choke my stony wrath which once had roared.   Love is a route that’s … Continue reading →

Patience

Posted on May 7, 2020 by cdsmiller17

When under the weather, Not knowing whether To quit or not, Don’t start a fight; Learn to sit tight: Think a new thought.   Remember: Where you’re going (No one knowing!) How long away (Too long you say?) And more … Continue reading →

Attention!

Posted on May 6, 2020 by cdsmiller17
