At Ease!

Poems, poetry, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

When he came along

At a time of chaos and fear

Me in a lost and depressed state

He came along and

Put me

At ease

Just hearing his voice

The sincereness in him

The kindness in his words

Letting me know that all will be okay

He puts me at ease

Understanding me and being patient with me

Thinking, is it real?

Does he really exist

Am I tripping? Maybe. Maybe not

Constantly on my mind

The good and bad

But damn, like dammmnn

The thought of him

Has my mind at ease

Soothing

A friendship like no other

Turns into something much better

A bond

A vibe

True feelings, lust, and love

Its everything about him

Puts me at ease

No easy love here

Willing to grow, we build

Looking to see what the future brings with us

Guard coming down

With that being said

At this moment

I am at ease

Blessings and Love

Thank you for reading.

Tough!

poetry, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I am a fortress, built of stone and steel

My heart encased, unable to feel

I am tough, hardened by life’s cruel cost

But lost, adrift, with no sense of exhaust.

My walls are high, my moat is deep

My guard is up, my secrets to keep

I am impenetrable, a force to behold

Yet inside I am empty, alone and cold.

I’ve been hurt before, too many times

So I protect myself, with these hardened lines

I don’t let anyone in, no matter how close

For fear of the pain, the hurt and the blows.

But sometimes I wonder, is it worth the cost

To be tough, hard, guarded and lost?

To live life in solitude, with no one to trust

Is this really what it means to be tough?
