My Heart

My heart sears each time

my thoughts of you

 burn into my consciousness

Becoming aware there’s a part of me missing

Time balances’ itself with desire with growth

In between the seeds of longing are planted and

Fertilized with tears of wanting completeness

The World Goes Round & Round

Past a man sitting on a corner

He was assessing the damage

To one foot

As people passed by

Making their way to different

Destinations, some looked

At him others went on about

Their business

I wondered what was going

Through his mind

No one knew his situation

Judgment is saved for a higher power

He continued to caress his ailing foot

All the while keeping his head down

All I could think of

The world goes round and round

The richer become wealthier and the poor

Are just after thoughts…
