You occupy my mind
and I can’t resist you,
as I dream of things
that haven’t happened
I’m hiding the things
that I wish had not.
Happiness is in disguise
and I want to rise up,
walk right out that door,
but all I can do
is lock it tight behind me,
just staying in this room
and jumping to conclusions
as you jump all over me
with your words,
and orders.
I want to let go of things
I haven’t yet achieved,
but you are overwhelming
my walls of flesh,
inside,
and I want to walk
barefoot to you,
offering up myself
as a parting gift
of total obedience.

It is all about the capsule of time — we rolling in it — either want or not!
A nice poetic expression.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Sorry for a late reply. Well, time is a tricky thing and as you say, we dont get to choose if we want to be rolling in it!
something good always comes out of a bad situation.either it might be a lesson learned insight on other people’s thoughts insight on your own volatilitybut something good will always come out of it.
It’s if you know how to see the silver lining in everything.
I have to for my own sanity. Working as a registered nurse every day makes you see things differently and after the death of my 21 year old daughter this year I realized that all of this doesn’t matter. I take every day as a blessing now.
Oh Im so sorry to hear this.. It must be terrible…
You learn to cherish each moment. I have to keep my wits about myself for my 17 year old daughter.

Can we chat? I’m a athenafingers@gmail.com
find happiness in a bad situation is very difficult just a little child can do that i guess
I know few people who are brilliant in seeing the silver lining in the worst of situations and they always leave me amazed and speechless of this ability.
😊
There is a delicious sense of almost impersonal intimacy in this, as if you are as lost in observing as you are in experience. This gives it a beautiful and sort of hesitant openness. I love good writing, so I’m now following your Blog
Thank you so much for all the likes and such a beautiful comment. Im glad you picked up on this black and white contrast in my poem and it warms me to know that you enjoy my blog. I will head down to yours later!
This is what you call nothing? 🙂
Yes 🙂
You should always get what you want. I suspect you usually do.
Hmmmm. I wouldnt say I always get what I want. But I certainly work hard to try to get it. Nothing comes easy to me.
Orders / Obedience … sounds tempting
Something that appeals to you?
Well, yes, I like to be in control
*thumbs up*
} = )
there is strength and really wishing yourself completely to someone a different type of strength that not all can understand
I hate auto spell there is a strenght to completely relinquish one’s self to another. It takes enduring trust. complete trust in another person is a strength that all do not understand
Thats ok, i understood 😉
It’s a different state of mind, that’s true.
Wanting…..wishing…..hoping not to perish in the world of someone so sorrowful..Yet we wait for more..
Tragic yet spellbinding.
Being sorrowful is a mask to hide the coldness that’s inside me.
Wow. Incredible! Your writing is always, always, always, such a pleasure to read, Chatty Owl.
This one really hit home for me, personally. 🙂
And darling, it’s always such a pleasure to see you around here! Thank you….
Parting gift, overwhelming inside, barefoot obedience…… Miss Owl, your ‘nothing’ is some peoples everything! ;p
It’s the simple ways of an owl that sometimes make the difference in things. And people.
Such a delight and dream come true that would be .
B~xx
Aww, would it now? x
Yep 🙂
I knew how you felt towards me, but it was nice reading it.
Long time no see.
No. But one week seems like a long time
Just email me.
Yes.
very energetic feeling…I may have to go for a bit of a lie down now.
If it wasn’t a sarcastic remark, then I’m pleased.
Barefoot and new paths abandoned… Sounds like the focus is on a glamourless now. Offered as you are, with nothing more. And yet you present yourself as a gift, something another desires. Speaks highly of yourself when even in a raw self acknowledgement of your reality bared, you know that another will be quite satisfied with your “nothing” more.
That’s the wishful thinking of a need to be accepted as you are, right? But then again, doesn’t that put pressure on another person, who is receiving the gift? It’s like an obligation to be satisfied with the “nothing more” gift.
True, true… It’s almost like one has to possess the most intimate knowledge of gift before accepting and unwrapping box
Exactly. 🙂
Near impossible… Blind faith seems to be required
your nothing packs quite a punch:)
that’s such a beautiul thing to say. Thank you.
so much something to your nothing – to me it says submission can be awfully dissatisfying
I think the right amount of submission is such a beautiful thing.
“dream of things that haven’t happened”
And all beautiful
’nuff said
Ha 🙂 Thanks 🙂
Nothing fancy to say but I really enjoyed that
and that’s the best compliment for me 🙂
It’s amazing how you can relate to something so deeply! Lovely poem!
Thanks so much! Sorry for a slightly delayed reply!
but you are overwhelming my walls of flesh inside…. your nothing speaks volumes, another fine piece lovely. x
Thanks! I’m surprised you picked on that line, I was wondering, if anyone would!
“You occupy my mind
and I can’t resist you,
as I dream of things
that haven’t happened”… I relate in so many hidden ways – great work as ever Ms Owl… Cheers J
Thanks Jamie! How have you been? co-workers sussed you out yet? 🙂
You’re very welcome – not sussed yet! but blog address change may have helped and to be honest – I’ve had better weeks but thanks for asking – how about you? Cheers J
Why did you change it? Covering tracks? 😛
Yeah, im ok. A bit ill, but thats not surprising in this awful weather!
Pls check your spam filter 😉 Cheers J
What comment could I make that isn’t the lesser of what you write.
Any comment from you would make my day brighter.
Your nothing says a lot.
But only to people that see past my words.
It should always remain that way.
Agree….
This makes me want to verbally cum all over it!…..Yes, that means I liked it!
Should I strip, so you could rape me with your words?
Bloody hell, it’s about time!!
*strips*
😉
Now sitta på mitt ansikte och säg att du älskar mig!!
You are making an owl to twist her tongue.
Jag älskar dig.
😀
You are making this robots heart beat!!
Also Jag älskar dig också!
Wow, that’s a damn good piece of prose about nothing
Huh, you reckon? A nothing about nothing, while still saying something 🙂
Barerfoot walking is temptig I’d say…
It’s something very liberating to run around barefoot, feeling free and wild. Just like owls like it 🙂
