My Poem of the Day
(10/24/14)
Fading Into the Darkness©
I slip slowly into the darkness
I watch the last glimmer of light fade along with me
Voices faintly heard and just about gone
Memories evaporated that are lost on me now
My size no longer matters
I no longer feel bad about my weight
No one to cackle at my clothes
I no longer care when I’m indisposed
Because no one sees but me
And those like me
Couldn’t be bothered
I miss the life I once had
But now I have choice with no demands
I’m now as peace for
The darkness shed me a new light

My Poem of the Day

Slowly Dying©
You left me crying while you lay slowly dying
Stumped by a system bent on tradition
To turning a blind eye on those who need them the most
You sat in a cell
Living through hell
Day in and day out
Battered and bullied
By those who always have something to prove
Don’t ask me why I’ve relied
on
A system that’s always plotting
To be certain that you wont walk out talking
About the cracks in halls of justice
Once you fight their actions
That caused you
To no longer want
To be here among the land of the living
Instead you left me here crying while you lay there slowing dying
While I stand here fighting and relying on “we the people”
To bring you justice

On the Charles©
The river is host to many an event
The Annual Head of the Charles Regatta
Athletes from 32 countries come to showcase their talents
Hoping to be on top at events end
The picturesque walking paths host many walks and runs for all types of causes
The Hatch Shell is the home for weekly Flicks during hot summer nights
Don’t forget the fourth of July celebrations
and
Summer concerts
I’ve seen many a family picnic upon the open green
How about some Zumba to keep you fit
The Charles brings miles of smiles to all kinds of faces from all kinds of places
I’ll always fondly remember my time on the Charles
