Frantic

Have you ever thought you knew you had something to do or somebody to call but you forgot?  Drives you batty.  I woke up this morning thinking there was something I had to do but everybody says there's nothing.  I had a dream that everything went blank in my head and I was a total veggie.  But do you think that would screw me up so much?  I don't know.  I wrote a poem about my feelings this morning.  I also wrote a couple on a couple of other subjects.  I had a lot on my mind this morning.  I'm a mess a lot of the time but this morning was pretty bad.   I had a few errands to do but nothing that couldn't wait till everybody else was up.  Debbie sleeps late.  I'm usually up by 7-8.  This morning I woke up at 6:45 but didn't feel like messing with the boys so I fell back to sleep till atround 9:10.  I like my mornings alone but I didn't really feel like taking the boys to school today.  If I'm up while they're getting ready for school they usually try to miss the bus.  They get there early riding the bus so I don't know why they got to bug me but oh well.  I hope you enjoy the new poems.

I forgot! Can not think of what it was
Mind running in every direction at once
Ninety miles an hour, spinning off into nowhere
I was supposed to be there but where and when?
Head hurting from the rush of hurried thoughts
Heart beating faster adrenaline flowing like wine
I must remember or all may be lost in time
Too many drugs over the years have eaten me
Shorter and shorter my mind thinks in bursts
Can not find the things needed to complete the task
Searching in vain for I know not what or where
Will I be on time or is all for naught? despair
Fill this out and deliver that but where does it go?
Supposedly I am trustworthy for my word is bonded
If only I could remember what it was that I forgot.

Early Mornings

Time to sit and contemplate the cosmos
Express the feelings inside a turmoil well known
See the dawn break over the horizon beautifully
Pitch refreshing and bringing life to weary bones
A smoke clouds the lungs but fulfills a need
Music in nature and tunes well done for glee
Animals scamper to and fro on tasks important for life
Cloudy days morose but bringing wet surprise
Clouds amble by on waves of air mystifying the imagination
Seeing all that was raught in the night alas the dreams
Knowing the hearts and minds of others young alight
Building a day to start afresh no company for talking
Uninterrupted by annoyance or pain so dire
Love my mornings to start my time once more anew.

Why Modesty

When greatness flows through your veins pounding
There are things you can do that bring emotions and pleasure
Make women faint and cry with excitement unimaginable
Make people swoon with words smithed from thin air
Time holds the mind in suspension of wonderous creation
Imaginings bring joy or fear respectively to the masses
No shame do you hold for deed or thought at all
Pride may cometh before a fall but talent will live on
You express your knowings on paper or behind closed doors
What you can not do is of no moment if abilities are otherwhere
Run with your strengths and damn the rest to Hell
Do what you must to live life comfortably for yourself
But always remember experience taught you humility
Why modesty when great is your talents to behold?
Show the world what you can do fantastically.

The last one was a bit of a stretch since my true selfesteem is in the toilet most of the time but I was feeling pretty good the other day.  I'm not really that fantastic but I'm working on it lol.
