Writer's block,
too unkind,
vacant thoughts,
cloud my mind.

My solution,
in the past,
was purging,
my mind, fast.

Writing out
random words,
until they
become absurd.

So here
it goes,
from head
to toes.

It may rhyme,
it may not.
Might as well
take a shot.

Writers block 2

Words you purchased,
or words you lend,
are unimportant, if,
your world ends.

A sad day, always has,
a place to be.
Praying for tomorrow,
to be happier, for thee.

Let me stop
and write to you,
about the love we had.
You are like a daughter,
I am like a dad.

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 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.

When I think of you,
we visit once more,
I'll say it's you,
I love and adore.

Missing the sound of pool balls,
hitting others. No music playing
and conversations have grown quiet.
I just stopped by, for a beer.
I had been here before. Unusual, the
missing sounds which bring a chill
to the back of my neck.
Why is it quiet? Where had all the
noise gone.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Few cosmic vistas excite the imagination like The Great Nebula in Orion. Visible as a faint celestial smudge to the naked-eye, the nearest large star-forming region sprawls across this sharp telescopic image, recorded on a cold January night in dark skies from West Virginia, planet Earth. Also known as M42, the Orion Nebula's glowing gas surrounds hot, young stars. About 40 light-years across, it lies at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1,500 light-years away within the same spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy as the Sun. Along with dusty bluish reflection nebula NGC 1977 and friends near the top of the frame, the eye-catching nebulae represent only a small fraction of our galactic neighborhood's wealth of star-forming material. Within the well-studied stellar nursery, astronomers have also identified what appear to be numerous infant solar systems.

I want to hold you,
real close to me,
for there is nowhere,
I would rather be,

than in your arms
to protect thee,
from those rascals,
exactly like me.

We all crowd together,
avoiding being alone,
yet here we are,
lyrics in a sad song.

Rational thoughts elude me.
My head is aching.
Missing you so much,
my old heart is breaking.
