Nothing more than Things

Nothing more than Things

Diamonds and Pearls are just things.
Why do they seem to have so many means?
Money and Cars are just things.
We only think of that , so it seems.
Clothes and shoes are just things.
When you take them off, do you stand alone?
Alone in the darkness in your wealthy home?
Do me a favor and look in the mirror!
Are you happy with just those things?

Love?

Love?
You mean that thing that suddenly arrives after a kiss?
Love?
You mean the word in  the quote."I Love You"?
Love?
Where most of us have NO clue what it means?
Sounds good when rolling off the tongue, and we use it to clear up trouble times?
Love?
You mean that "word", that adjective?
No, I mean the feeling of emotions that God so proudly gave us. That character with actions that a person can get afraid of.
The STRONG strength of no letting go.
The arms of a shield, guarding your heart that pumps blood for you to survive...
That thing when a man gives his ribs in order to have someone.. Love!!! That deep gasp of air you breath when you finally capture it

Those Thoughts

I just want to SCREAM!

Over what though?

Some negative thoughts that continuously run through my mind OVER and OVER?

One minute I'm all happy, the next I'm angry over nothing, which is a BOTHER!

That cause comes from these damn thoughts.

Thoughts that have no meaning, clearly.

Thoughts that can be replaced with good ones, maybe.

Yeah! Replaced with BETTER, STRONGER and WISER thoughts.

But that lack of air that should be going to my mind is ridiculously going to a thought that has no matter.

I need that better weather!

Who's to say if I don't think that one THOUGHT, everything will be better?

Nahh, its these people, these creatures, these unhappy things that make all the matter.

So, I shall throw them out of my mind.
Will you mind? ...... Forgive and FORGET!
