@ENKELI  I had my female beside me and my male laying on my chest purring.

first time I’ve tried this type of writing.  I enjoy writing about my happy memories/places with lots of description, as if some one else was to read them.

first 2 lines kept coming over and over in my mind, rest took about hr for words to come

Re: Roses are red, violets are blue, here's a poetry thread, from me to you! (TW)

Hey everyone,

 

Nice poetry so far! Thought I'd join in, too!

Here's my two cents worth:

 

High hopes

 

I had such high hopes for this summer…

And then my meds had to be changed.

They make me very drowsy,

But stop me becoming deranged.

 

Titrate from one to the other,

My trusty doctor said.

If only it was that easy,

I’m struggling to get out of bed!

 

Every day now, the same pattern

One in the morning and one in the evening

Sometimes I feel sick, other times out of it:

The brain haze is just the beginning!

 

In this new year,

Hopefully things will become better

And things will settle down once more

Before the doctor needs to write me another letter.

@Spirit_Healer I felt this re: meds.  Not sure if I'm hyper sensitive to the kind I'm given but yeah... it's sleep all day stuff.  Very hard to adjust to and just as much a roller coaster as being unmedicated I think!  😅

@tonys thank you.  Not sure if this is sincere or sarcastic but thanks none the less! 🤣

Re: Roses are red, violets are blue, here's a poetry thread, from me to you! (TW)

Poems are pieces of peoples hearts and souls.   I don't joke about  such things...@KirSa_EnigmA .

 

Tonys..

High  @Former-Member  and @Glisten ..   Thinking about your letters brought this to mind. About 4 months ago

A nurse,     "attracted to the bad boy type was she" ,     cried to me the turmoil of tough  decisions . . 

Not a poem for every one.   Just those  who who,   died a little,   leaving.. 

 

                  LEAVING  HIM.

                                             She'll  dress  in  grey

                                                   Then dress  in  white.

                                             She naked  lays  by  candle light.

                                                             He  lies  in white

                                                                    Then  lies in  grey

                                                              Seeks truths  in lies  told yesterday..

 

                                              With second  sight 

                                                     she'll  second  guess

                                                        Would  strike  her  dead should  she  confess.

                                               Those crimes of hearts  tormented  passion.

                                                      enslaved in cages  they did  fashion.

 

                                              Saddled horse   by open gates

                                                     but still  she lies  tween altered  states.

                                              Tears  n  truths could  set them free 

                                                    by  poisoned chalice  cease  to  be.

 

                                              No  scars nor  blood  upon  thy sleave

                                                     those  loyal  dogs  that will not leave.

                                              In seas  of pearls  they waste away

                                                     Schemes  in dreams   lost in the fray.

 

                                              But in those dreams  are free to go

                                                      released from ice  to streams that flow

                                               And wash away the eyes that  stain

                                                     a momentary  fade  from  pain

 

                                                She  wakes  to face  another  day                                    8/9/23

                                                              Live  one  more  lie . . .                                   tonys   Mb1

                                                                         Or     run    away..                              

 

   Hello to everyone 

@KirSa_EnigmA  @Spirit_Healer  @Patches59  @ENKELI  @Jacques  @Jynx  and  all
