Not Quite Not Needed

Repetition found,

Overflowing with surplus

Redundancy shown.

Vestigial in nature,

but never quite obsolete…

All Expenses Paid

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

Price paid in full worth,

Sacrifice to attain much,

Costly but of value.

Truly, quite rare and unique

Hence all of the expenses…

Cuddle Delight

Feeling lonely, needing cuddles tight,

Longing for warmth on this cold, dark night.

Arms empty, with no one to hold near,

Wishing for someone to chase off this fear.

Yearning for comfort, a soothing embrace,

But finding solitude in this desolate place.

The need for connection, a longing so deep,

Yearning for love, in my heart it will keep.

Aching for closeness, a touch so tender,

Hoping for warmth, a love that won’t surrender.

Yet in this moment, I’m all on my own,

Seeking a bond that’s still yet unknown.

So I’ll wait for the day when someone will care,

To share in my need for cuddles to share.

Until then, I’ll hold onto this hope so tight,

That one day, I’ll find my cuddle delight

Up The Ladder

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

Learning on the job,

Growth through experience gained

Internship’s steep climb

As you pay all of your dues

Moving slowly, surely, up…

Strong Will Shapes…

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

Tilted towards an end

Inclined by nature’s design

Predisposed to sway

If contortion can create

Then a strong will can shape things…

Three Things Challenge #M796

SCREW
TACK
NAIL

Screws, tacks, and nails, oh my!
In the workshop, they all do lie.
The screw got twisted and turned around,
The tack got stuck but didn’t make a sound.
And the nail, oh the nail, so strong and stout,
It held it all together without a doubt.

REMNANT
PIECE
RAG

The remnant piece of rag,

A symbol of strength and hope,

In Victoria’s hands it lay,

A testament to resilience.

Tattered and worn, yet cherished so,

It held memories of struggles,

But through it all, it stood tall,

A reminder of perseverance.

Drowning

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

Drowning in sorrow

Wrapped in self-indulgent woe

Self-pity’s dark hold

Brings me down even lower

As I try to stay afloat…
