" Don't worry, be happy, "

Do you ever get that feeling

deep inside your head

when you know there must be reasons 

but the reasons are all dead

did you ever get the meaning

of the words we never say

and you know that she still cares

but the memories are all grey

Do you ever get that feeling

deep inside your brain

where you always pray for sunshine

but you know it's going to rain

did you ever get the meaning

of the things she left behind

they weren't left for beauty

or just left to remind

Do you ever get that feeling

deep inside your head

when you hope that she still loves you

but she's never  ever said

did you ever get the meaning

of the picture on the wall

it doesn't really mean much

and I guess that says it all.

i feel like i am looking at an abstract painting, shaking my head and trying to make heads or tails as to what it is saying to me.
yes, i had all these feelings expressed in this poem...had them one time or another....for sure.

great and easy rhythm sir ... nothing trite about the rhyme says i! well done .. so emotive .. heavy weights of grey .. trying so hard to stay afloat through rational thought .. its a stormy sea out there isn't it!? we hang on and ride it out .. at best sometimes .. i love your closing .. its strong and puts a wrap on the story .. well done ..

Thanks Einstein, glad you liked it, it is for sure a stormy sea called life,

Stepping out of the comfort zone is a risky art form sir! Love this rhyming piece because it trots the reader through a thinking process, describing all the doubts and aspirations many hold but that in the end it has no real meaning but in our heads and in our sorry hearts!

Cheers dude, this was my comfort zone, once upon a time, it's free style that is the (d) anger zone,

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh how the juices spill in hot spittle, from between clenched teeth as the anger zone rises full of the boiling magma of hatred!

[gram linski]

nice lines, John, I may have to steal them, I can feel the juices boiling, magma slowly burning, corroding common sense,

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Aye watching 'The Wee Man' last night certainly got the juices flowing lol!
