Fear

Desiring to go someplace and not having a ride

Wanting to go for a workout and having no drive

Bending the ear of a loved one who doesn't care

To listen or hear me is beyond disrepair

Making time, spending time and dropping every dime I have to hear u, relate to u and it falls flat...like squeezing a juiceless lime

I'm aware of distractions, but if u make the decision to reach out to me, I emphasize

I will be there as quickly as I can to empathize

This wasn't exactly a poem about things I fear

But to know me is to know I go through brick walls for my peers

Peace

Peaceful things and peaceful thoughts:

1. My loved one rubbing my back, feet, shoulders or calves for no reason other than they know I love to be touched 

2. Warm seats in the car after spending too much time outdoors in cool weather

3. A warm fire indoors while cuddled under the softest blanket with a loved one

4. A hike in fall/spring weather to a river or a waterfall 

5. Getting completely high for the weekend in a cabin

6. Wine tasting in Napa valley

7. Going into the surf nude at Haulover Beach

8. Crackling wood candle wicks while reading smut with a loved one

9. Sailing to a deserted island for the day in the Caribbean.

10. Sharing a different type of coffee everyday for a week in Costa Rica
