Did You Seek the Right Venture?

Missing image

Searching expression
upon your face as
my lips gave trivial
rattlings.

Blank, stared back
empty boredom.
Tunneled vision eye's
became my sorrow.

Perception my gift
or my curse?

Unearthed dirt lingers
merged to skin.
Like coal dust
hard to clean.

Adventure was sought,
pampered princess
I am not.

Adrenalin junkie
listen close.
Are you willing?

To shovel,dredge and
sift?

Missions excitement
requires dirt
under your nails.

Perhaps you will unearth,
treasure unknown ~

Remember tears
turn dirt to mud.
Maybe, it was diamond sheen
in a small shy smile.

"Hard work," I think~
as I take my last sip of coffee.


Choose your undertaking wisely, love.

Perception is my gift, my curse.

    Hi Sweetie~
    Beautifully done
    When all the dust settled down tonight I was able to more fully appreciate this write.

    Remember tears
    turn dirt to mud.
    Maybe, it was diamond sheen
    in a small shy smile.

    Best wishes to my best friend, I love you~
    Tim

    This was a beautiful poem. The inspiration is well sought out, and the flow was very natural. The thoughts that I got from reading this did not stop at one line or even one word. Great work.
