"When You Are Near"


The world grows softer when you're near,
The noise fades out, the path feels clear.
A single glance, and I can see
The calm that love can bring to me.

You speak, and even silence glows,
Like petals blooming through the snow.
No grand display, no flashing sign—
Just steady hearts that intertwine.

You are the pause between my fears,
The warmth that dries my quiet tears.
And in your arms, I've come to know
That love is where the soul can grow.

What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late
What about now?

"All the Ways"

I love you in the smallest ways—
In passing thoughts and everyday.
In how your laughter lingers on,
Long after words and light are gone.

I love you in the in-between,
Where nothing loud is ever seen.
In coffee sips and sleepy eyes,
In quiet truths and soft goodbyes.

Not just in fire or wild delight,
But in the way you hold me right.
For love, I've learned, is not a show—
It's all the ways you help me grow.

"What Life Knows"

Life doesn't rush to get things right,
It learns in shadow, not just light.
It stumbles, mends, begins again—
A silent teacher in the rain.

It doesn't promise only peace,
But offers growth that never cease.
Through falling leaves and turning tide,
It shows us how to bend, not hide.

It whispers truth in simple things—
In broken clocks and birds with wings.
And though we often seek control,
Life gently hands us back our soul.

"The Shape of Life"

Life takes no perfect shape or form,
It shifts with every passing storm.
A patchwork made of joy and pain,
Of sudden loss, of hard-won gain.

It's found in voices late at night,
In memories that still feel right.
In roads we walked but can't retrace,
And moments time cannot erase.

It teaches not through rules or books,
But through the quiet, honest looks.
And when we think we've lost our way,
Life gently shows another day.

DIRTY SOCKS

Socks. Socks. Socks.
Everywhere.
Nag. Nag. Nag.
Nobody cares.
Landing softly.
Not where they go.
Scuffled in dark corners.
Dirt and dust they grow.
Never united with their pair.
"Mom, where are my socks!?"
"I have none to wear!"
Tossed by the hamper.
Never inside.
Always bending over.
Swallowing my pride.
Socks. Socks. Socks.
Everywhere.
Smelly and dirty.
Next to the underwear.

"Let It Be Life"

Let it be messy, let it be real,
Let every wound be something we feel.
Let it be laughter, let it be tears,
A mix of courage, doubt, and years.

Let it be questions with no reply,
Moments that teach us how to try.
Let it be mornings full of grace,
And nights that ask us to embrace.

Let it be more than just survive—
Let every hour remind we're alive.
Not always perfect, not always clear,
But full of heart, while we are here.

 

[b1u3eyes]

And the stranger beamed, and he looked, it seemed,
Like he'd been born anew-
For perched on his pole was the lovely hole
Of the lady that's known as Lou.

"Through the Seasons"

Life is a tree through shifting skies,
It bends with winds, it learns, it tries.
In spring it blooms, in summer glows,
In autumn falls, in winter slows.

Yet every root grows deep and strong,
It learns to stay when nights are long.
The branches stretch, they reach for light,
Even in darkness, they hold tight.

So life is not just loss or gain,
But loving still through sun and rain.
For every season, hard or kind,
Leaves something blooming in the mind.

"The Path"

Life is a road we cannot chart,
It twists through head, it winds through heart.
We stumble, fall, and learn to rise,
To greet the dawn with clearer eyes.


For every step, both wrong and true,
Shapes the soul into something new.
And though the journey may feel wide—
The way is found from deep inside.

Sold Out

The yard sale was great.
Sold everything in my place.
Now to start over new.
Influencers tell me what to do.
Have a need for food, shelter, and clothes.
They say that's not the way to go.
Buy products online,
Thats cheap and refined.
Use a credit card,
Get whatever you want.
Paying the bill is just an affront,
Go to thrift stores for a better jump.
What you want and need,
May be different indeed.
I can't fry my eye lashes to eat,
Hair products can't keep me warm.
Tattoos won't make a room for you.
No place to keep all my stuff that was cheap,
Live in a car with no place to sleep!

Where the Quiet Lives

I found you where the quiet lives,
Between the breath the evening gives.
Your smile, a lantern in the rain,
A gentle light that eased my pain.

The world can roar, the night can cry,
But your soft voice will still reply.
A whisper warm, a hand to hold,
A promise made, more dear than gold.

And should the years begin to fade,
The dreams we built, the plans we made,
Know this, my love: I will remain,
A steady fire through loss or gain.

For though the earth may shift and shake,
And oceans part, and mountains break,
I'll find you still, in shade or sun,
My only heart, my only one.
