Concrete Jungle,
Pursues,
Stifles me,
Leaves an empty feeling,
Radiating within.
Left now,
Wanting nothing else,
Than to be ignored,
However, I chose this,
Life must be explored.
Tired of being strong,
I love you,
Yes, You,
Always, You,
My mind begins to soothe.
Visions of caring hands,
Traveling inside my mind,
Between fantasy and reality,
Pressures of creativity,
An endless extreme.
Emotions full of need,
Yet, honestly, I just,
Can’t breathe,
I want you with me,
You’re my family.

I love that picture! I think it’s fogging. And why do you want ignored? *taps both feet at once*

Cool, huh? Yeah, it has been so foggy in the morning. Well, cause then I’d have to talk, I suppose. *twirls her hair a bit*

Oh, talking is good, dadblameit. It frees the soul.

That is such a cool mysterious photo ~ and in a strange way matched very well with your poem, amid all the fog/mist and mystery there is this balance between fantasy and reality…and what may become. Wish you a great weekend!

Hey, Handsome. You’re spoiling me this week with two visits. Thank you…I love having you near. Mystery, fantasy, reality, and what may be all sound dreamy to me. Stay close. Today’s the day for love and I have a few poems to share. Enjoy your weekend, Dalo. ♡

You draw quite a contrast between the city — filled with people — and wanting that one person. And that’s an amazing photo, goes perfectly with your poem.

Good morning, Gus. Wanting that one fantastic feeling, probably. I was hoping the photo worked. In my mind it did anyway.

I know. Sort of a bummer for the week of love. Not sure what’s happening. *checks her heart* All’s okay. 🙂 Wacky, I know. This too shall pass, they say.

Something tells me I couldn’t string sentences together in a concrete jungle, Audrey. I need more calm, peace, and nature, I suppose.
“Tired of being strong.” Yeah, I get that. Totally. And yet we dare not appear too needy or weak, right? Too many depending on us!
Hang in there, my friend. You’re stronger than you realize, you know!

Calm and outside would be perfect, Debbie. I hope I never come across as needy and weak. Every ball would fall then, I fear. I’m quite aware that it is okay to need people. Totally healthy. Thank you. ♡

Love it. Reminds me of a storm I got caught in recently in NYC.

Thank you, Aaron. I’d love to hear about this storm. I’ve never been to NYC.

Last summer, in NYC waiting for the ferry to go to Liberty Island. The storm came from nowhere and looked just like this. Lasted for 20 minutes, but was SO intense. Then the weather broke, and normality ensued. Amazing. My dream is to be a writer and live in NYC!
LikeLike
Yeah, that sounds eerily familiar, as I’ve been in similar situations. The intensity can be inspiring. Weather change is awesome. I love it, actually. Such strength found there, ya know? I hope your dream comes true. We should all be so lucky.
