An uncharted flaw,
of an ego in need,
to humble itself,
with a mental feed.

Is it too early,
or too late to do?
I believe the decision,
rests solely on you.

I dream of golden flowers,
marked with summer rays,
mottled with the shadows,
from trees in one array.

Why must we wait,
until the spring has sprung,
when we could still have flowers,
of Primrose, and Hyacinths, young?

I hope this will prompt me to write
more of beautiful things and less
of sadness. For viewing. Thank you

My emotions,
rage against me.
I will not pretend,
yet here I be.

Happiness and contentment,
I had many years.
Those feelings aren't present,
and these are my fears.

Forlorn is a condition,
I'm feeling right now.
Wanting to talk with someone,
but not knowing how.

I hesitate to show
interest in someone,
I do not wish to promote,
a false promise to anyone.

An emotional ride,
elation to bust.
Why must I hide,
emotions I trust.

I am a man,
who falls in love,
at the merest affection,
or attraction, above.

I'm not a child,
but a grown man,
with many emotions,
hard to understand.

Is it wrong,
to still love someone,
when you find
another one?

One more loss,
with little gain.
Return to sadness,
hard to explain.

To gain a friend,
who goes away,
is more complex,
than another day.

Time flies at this time.
More than normal,
which in of itself is
casual not formal.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Why would the shadow of a rocket's launch plume point toward the Moon? In early 2001 during a launch of the space shuttle Atlantis, the Sun, Earth, Moon, and rocket were all properly aligned for this photogenic coincidence. First, for the space shuttle's plume to cast a long shadow, the time of day must be either near sunrise or sunset. Only then will the shadow be its longest and extend all the way to the horizon. Finally, during a Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of the sky. Just after sunset, for example, the Sun is slightly below the horizon, and, in the other direction, the Moon is slightly above the horizon. Therefore, as Atlantis blasted off, just after sunset, its shadow projected away from the Sun toward the opposite horizon, where the Full Moon happened to be.

It's over,
it's done.
I'll move along,
I'm toast. I'm one.

Let me be.
Leave me alone.
If I need you,
I will phone.

What is this attraction,
which follows me?
It's nothing important,
as I can't see.

I've been a widower,
for about 6 weeks.
I'm not ready, as
I do not seek,

a relationship now,
especially when the knell,
of a bell will put me
in relationship Hell.

There is a Vortex,
in my head.
Swirling thoughts,
trying to imbed,

into the chambers
of my mind.
Good or bad thoughts,
might I find,

If I search here
or there,
finding thoughts.
Hope I care.
