My days can be long and dull,
Spaces unfilled for tedious hours,
Punctuated by humdrum,
I stare vacantly from brown eyes,
Into a world of cold hearts,

Sometimes I cry,

My nights can be racked with pain,
The dark, crushing my soul,
Echoing the past in shadows,
Hiding under my bed subdued,
Waiting for me to succumb,

Sometimes I tremble,

My love can only be measured,
By the fullness I feel in my heart,
The ache for the trees at the window,
The breeze along shores I adore,
The touch of her hand in mine,

Sometimes I smile,

My life will be gauged by my doing,
Those who love me will hold me true,
I must hold those that I love in return,
Only then will I have prospered,
My last breath then gentle to fall,

Sometimes I worry,

My heart holds someone beloved,
Someone who makes the dark bright,
Whose words fill all the grim corners,
We beat to the same pulse of life,
No voids or obstacles will prevail,

Sometimes - only we know,

Sometimes the simplest things,
The elementary feelings
Appear to be what they are
What is really important.

So much enjoyed this beauty, Paul, thank you.

Paul,

Love a poem that takes me through a journey
and makes me feel a part of the trip.

So well Done!

Stopped back in on this.

There is something sincere and
pleasing about the ground this
covers with such a humble voice
that rings well with me.

I thought I might point out
how I am realizing you have the
ability to be so damn funny and
yet you are such a deep and
passionate man.

I admire both sides.

((Paul))

You are such a diverse man. The voice you brush
this with is compelling and felt in the quiet
of my heart and soul.

Lovely spill my dear.

Hugs and love,
Tammy
