Oh Don’t ADD No More!

This flat is such a mess.
These muscles are hurting me,
I’d rather just sleep.
Dishes are in the sink,
Laundry is mountainous;
Don’t know where’s the cat?

There goes another night, I haven’t closed my eyes.
Just another day in my life, the chaos stays.
Its not that I don’t want to do anything.
Its just that I’m overwhelmed by the task.
When it comes down to it
I’d rather just sit here and write this poem, and then another.
About my dearest friend and lover.

Where might I find her?
Wonder if shes ginger or blonde
Oh yes, you are correct!
I haven’t met her yet!
Don’t even know her name.

Better she’s in my mind than in my eyes
Just look around me, she’ll think I’m so lame.
I don’t want to lie, but I’d rather just sleep.

Oh don’t ADD any more on that plate.
Oh wait I’ve got to wash those dishes anyway.
Now I forgot what else I wanted to say.

I’ve had people in here to clean.
One way or another I had to pay.
Just don’t ADD any more,
Or you can go through that door.
Where ya goin’? Ain’t ya goin to help me?

This flat is such a mess.
This body is aching. It’s hurting me!
I’d rather just sleep.
Oh look! It’s time for tea.

Is There Nothing More?

Dinner is on the wall Children crying, infant screaming Fear freezes her when he calls Between them there is silence peeling Its the way they only know Its how love they struggle to show He knows nothing more She can’t bear the blood and sores She understands she must flea But how else can she Be? _______________ Copyright © 2020 HeardWords America

His Love for Her

Don't leave me here! Don't you leave me here this way! What will all my friends say? Who was it that carried me on the bier? Well, will you pray for me? Or can't you wait to see another man, if only you can? Life with you was never, the kind I wanted. You called me "friend" That was after you put an end to our coupling. That was after you had my ring cut off your finger. I can hear you singing after that. You had your own definition for being a swinger. A woman, free and unattached. Since then we've never been intimate. No matter the many times I had to wait. You would love me Only by cleaning and laundrying for me. Still you'd never give me a bath. We had a life together you never let last. Don't leave me here! Don't you leave me here this way! What will all my friends say? "She buried him, with his love for her. She's not so demur." _________ copyright ©️ 2023 SDKilmer, LLC All Rights Reserved www SDKi

Oh how I love your manners. Does it really matter That I want to be like you? Got nothing else to inform me. So let's see, who I am.
