I Wax Profane

I wax profane, against the crowd
and what has happened to thee.
How unfair is this, our life.
Why is it you not me?

A greater being rules the earth,
we are but pawns to he.
Instead of a joyful life,
ours has become a misery.

Long lay a bit of time,
when life became inane,
for all my work today,
avoiding being insane.

My Fear

Posted by MFish • Profile • 03/10/23 at 06:21PM • Life Stories - Memories • See more by MFish

My fear deepens,
every day, away from you.
Six days of confinement,
now I am blue.

What happens,
on the morrow true,
if you no longer know me,
I am nothing to you?

Memories, once shared,
no longer in sight.
Tomorrow's nightmares,
from the blackest night.

My heart, once strong,
will shrivel and die,
not to go on living.
Don't expect me to try.

Words, pour forth,
from out my brain.
Describing it,
as a runaway train.

No reason to,
no rhyme to make,
words flow freely,
mine to take.

Put the words,
into a sack,
return to the sender,
no postage back.

Crazy words, echo,
I cannot see,
I don't know,
if they're from me.

Find the day.
Take it back.
Select another,
a different tack.
