Hope you don't mind throwing one in here
home
I will build my home here
A house with enough rooms to fit me
Build walls out of words knit so close they keep out the wind
Windows out of meaning so loose they let the light in
I will write myself a home here
Painstakingly put brick on brick on brick
Letter on letter
Pages and pages and pages of plans
Storage enough for the life I lived
and the lives I didn't.
I will leave trails to mark my path
Letters and letters and words and words
Leading back here
To this place I'm building out of love
and hope and fear and redemption.
And when i leave
When i wander or wake suddenly lost
When the unfamiliar tricks me into feeling like home
I can follow these markings back
to find myself
right where I left me.

@SarahAndSamantha so you wrote TWO poems of the same title? The one about getting stood-up and the other one?
Anyway you should be published. Its wonderful work. I'm sure most people agree 😸

@Elevatorpitches The one about getting stood up was Vivaci's title of "patience". Whoever I'm replying to suggested the title of the poem.
Thank you for the compliment. I've thought about trying to get published, but I'm honestly not good at the whole process of self promotion. Besides, I kinda just like writing them to write them.

@SarahAndSamantha I never saw Vivaci's title.
Also you're blowing my mind! Heart Song of the Watchers seems to be a perfect title for that "stood-up" poem.
And I can understand writing for just yourself. Self-promotion has a way of taking the joy out of being creative. And publishers can be hard people to deal with.
Enjoy your talent. Its not common.👃

@Elevatorpitches Oh, friend of mine, through thick and thin
Through brightest and my darkest days.
I wish that I could tell you now
What I really want to say.
It seems unfair that you don't know
The truth when I feel gray.
But I cannot seem to find the words
of what I really want to say.
But if you were to take it bad
my soul would fade away.
it's not something you'd understand
what I really want to say.
So I hide from you that simple thing
and do my best to downplay
The parts of me that make up
what I really want to say.
Someday I hope to let it out
for now, i must delay
telling you the truth of me
what I really want to say
Through brightest and my darkest days.

@Elevatorpitches Thank YOU for the title. It's something I've been wanting to express for a while now
SarahAndSamantha · 46-50, F
@kodiac A lot of the times, I can't. I can sit there staring at a blank screen for hours before finally being able to mayyyybe eek out something the equivalent of 'roses are red' But when I'm in the mood, it just pours out.

@UnderLockDown You're a butt, tearing through
the house at 3 A.M.
I need sleep, you little shit
but you need to cause mayhem.
I'm reading now, get out the way
I can't see the page i'm on.
Fine, I'll stop, and give you pets
and just like that your gone.
You're hungry, cry for food
I go to make you stop
other room I check your bowl
It's already filled to the top!
But for every time I sigh,
At the butthead things you do
there's a million things I'd never
change about cute little you.
You're older now, time it flies
But you're still just as pretty
As the day I brought you home
as my new beautiful kitty.
