Tired and Still Have Room for More Love
Busy Day
Every day you have a routine
Figuring out what you need to do
My body feels tired
In a good way
I have a job to go to
Then when I get time to rest
I think of what I love to do best
All the joy of love
That comes natural
Never a struggle
The wonderful feelings that translate into beautiful sensations
That make up a world of tingles
Yes I am talking about those spine chilling, rhythmic pulses
Once you had one you always want more
With so many things in life to think about
This is the very tippity, top of my list
I must insist
In a short time span
Some things can be dreadful
That I can't wait to forget
Then there are unique circumstances that can dominate every thought
I concentrate
Then find ways to repeat each moment
Bringing it back as soon as it has left
This time stronger with more energy and zest
Some people find it so hard to explain
They never dare talk about it
Other people hint around the bush
I personally like to use a more subtle approach
Where you can follow me right from the start
Even on a slow day
I am not far from the pack
As I round the corner
I fall a little behind
Just practicing my stride
I cut to the inside
Where I begin to make my move
Stride for stride
I am gaining a little at a time
Now pulling a tiny little lead
Ever so slight
Now my opponents begin to weaken
As I look to my left I see Doubt
Then as I go even faster
Problems start to slip behind
Lazy now gets a side cramp
Ahead I see Frustration
Still in a good lead
Insecurity is having trouble
Impossible is struggling
This is where I focus
I take deep breaths and practice great control
I have been here many times before
In the past I have lost many races
I have also won more times than I can remember
Each day may be the same on the outside
Inside there are so many other hidden emotions at play
So I keep from being frustrated and put down
By clowning around
Turning each unhappy feeling into a real person
Then taking all the things that I love
Contentment, satisfaction, comfort, passion
Pride, energy, desire and help mold me
Each time adding a little more than before
In the end I know I have given it my best shot
There was no need to compromise and find short cuts
The long way is the best way
Each time I practice
I learn more about myself
Giving me the most reward

AUTHORGypsy Rose Lee I think we are always growing from the inside and out. We may not want to deal with our emotions and think we can control them but we are who we are. I could be mistaken I thought writers write their best when they reach people in the core of their emotions. Feeling the loss, happiness and every emotion in between is life. Trying to force too much of one feeling happiness or pain leads to disaster. Your best writings come from you experiencing each feeling in the moment. If you write what other people want to read but you are not happy what you are doing writing becomes a job not a passion. I strongly believe if we follow our passion we will end up happier. Thank you for reading and sharing. I know you want to do so many things. We have to take one step at a time before we learn to run. There are many things we learn in the growth spurts of our life. To miss out on that is like buying a delicious chocolate cake that we wanted eat then leaving it on the counter for weeks being afraid to have the first piece. Then we find out the cake is no good and we lost out on eating, sharing and enjoying every piece. Have fun and enjoy the journey as well as the destination.
Nicely penned. Hope you enjoyed your Valentine's. You know my thoughts now are that I have put love on the shelf perhaps in the years I have left of my life I can cash in on what I have learned and know about love. That would satisfy me greatly just have to find the right romantic niche.

Louise Powles Your thoughtfulness came at a perfect time. It is always nice to see someone appreciate a story/poem stoem on paper. I enjoy writing them and I try to bring out the good in life in the every day routine of being ourselves. Sometimes I get caught up and go to deep. I hope you had a beautiful Valentine's Day and you are having lots of fun.
This is another wonderful poem which I enjoyed reading. Thankyou.
