My Old Friend

I missed you
My good friend
We can share a pew
And transcend

Transcend my feelings
My feelings of obscurity
In all routine dealings
Reducing my security

Fall left to right
Shift backwards
The sun so bright
Unable to say words

Where do you hide
In the summertime
Where do you reside
Rushing back time after time

To disrupt my life
Bewitching me
Causing such strife
Not letting me flee

Fleeing the troubles
Fleeing the nuisance
Fleeing the intangibles
Fleeing the assurance

Assurances of stability
Assurances of normality
Assurances of survivability
Assurances of congeniality

I become tired
I become annoyed
I become angered
I become destroyed

Hard to accept
This reoccurring crap
Not well kept
In this sinister trap

Trap of denial
Trap of betrayal
Trap of carnal
Trap of abnormal

This is not just
Give me relief
Can you adjust
And reduce your grief

You must
No other choice
Or you will rust
And lose your voice

Stay steady
Bulk up
Reduce your anxiety
Accept your cup

Just Write

No more mind drug
No more captivity
No more a slug
No more inactivity
 
I can think and write
There are ideas and activity
My mind is clear and bright
I have vision and creativity
 
What satisfaction
A few words in print
My words have interaction
Now I am on a sprint
 
Create a poem every day
For long as it lasts
And a long time I pray
But there are no hard forecasts
 
Maybe restart my novel
It is all in my head
I will not fall apart and grovel
Just forge ahead
 
I am optimistic about my ability
I know what I want to generate
I have so many possibilities
I have to accept my fate
 
Just create a rhyme
And let them grow
Let the words climb
Creating a sweet flow
