2025 poetry harvest.  #3

>most tomorrows

cast away the tomorrows
that led your heart
towards emptiness

bring me to your loneliness
and deny your wants
for longing

share with me in faithlessness
and love me through
most tomorrows

This is another I sruggled with for more than just 2024 and ’25. Wording is close enough to release. Also, when I began this “Poetry Harvest,” it was with the thought to buy some time to pursue the completion of one or two of those five stories I’ve left my readers dangling on, incomplete. Thinking I had at least seven poems I could plot ahead with, I figured I could create, maybe two weeks of write time.

Unfortunately, as I sifted through those ten poems, I came to realize that I only had three variations of the same three poems, with a bunch of separate titles. You know how I pride myself on being organized, using three platforms to evolve and back up my work (Evernote for ideas and drafting> Blogger for composition and formal back-up> and now WordStress for display and formal presentation.

I also used MS-Word for word counting, but I’ve found that WPress does this nearly as well. I also have a desktop with Windows Files all over it that are labeled even more poorly than the ten poems, which turned out to be only three. Ah well, so it goes. I’ve since begun using a fountain pen for basic notes. Anything that helps to sow the process!
