Keep the ink flowing,,,Love all of your work, I hope I hav touched someone's life or heart thro' my words,,, cheers, coni lea,

you came to my gate
there you stood
I looked into your windows
there wasn’t much there

looks like your basket
needed to be filled

I haven’t much food to offer
said you weren’t hungry anyway
your stomach may be full
but the basket of your soul
sure is empty

I see blood~n~tears
seeping where there
should be none
would you care to tell me how
you receive those wounds

it’s plain to see you’ve done
some battles, were they from a
useless war, was it from those who
said they loved you
but looked at you with
poisoned darts
spoke words from a sword
are they from the beatings
you received
still a few bruises there
looks like you done your share
of falling
I can see the footsteps
on your pride
the remains one would
wipe
on a doormat

I can feel the need
you've a basket to fill
I can only fill it with
meat~n~fruit
of my words
I can’t hold your hand all the
way
but I’ll give you a little
shove in the right direction
if I can
hoping it’s right for you

I won’t pick away
at the bones
of past mistakes

after all I have been
empty many times
the meat of my soul
seared away
vultures butchering away
at the flesh left hanging
to bleed a forever wound

my fruits of my words
tossed to to rot away

I’m surprised I have enough meat
to repair the covering for my bones
I’m surprised my fruit had enough seed
to replenish the sweetness I knew was
buried deep in my heart~n~soul
trying to keep from being spoiled

please don’t equivocate
I can hear it in your voice
I can see it in the windows
leading to your soul

may your basket be filled
hopefully with different point of view
with the
meat~n~fruit
I give you
to fill your basket
to help you along
life’s journey way


“may the house you live in never fall down if you
pity the stranger standing at your gate” Gordon Lightfoot

always be careful when answering the knock at your door, you never
know what soul needs his basket filled, but of course
be aware of the dangers, that are your only reward,
after all you never know what they are there for”
this is where your heart is torn
you want to help someone, but they are there only
to lure others into harm, it’s a tuff decision.
