I’ve been reading
And listening
To hearts hardened
By old wounds
Emptied of all but
Selfish desires
Careless attitudes
Spewing platitudes
And clichés
Highlighted by
Indifferent reflection
That final rejection
“If you don’t like it
…leave…”
Hardly
Words of affection …

Well, that’s ok
I don’t want someone
Who can take me or leave me
I want him to need me
And not just consider me
Another disposable life
Tossed aside when
I’m too inconvenient
Too much effort
To invest precious
Energy into

Is that love or need?
Selfishness?
Greed?
Or just that desire
To connect
To share my time
So little yet so
Sublime
When spent
With someone
Who just ‘gets’ me
And loves me anyway?
No judgments
No questions asked
Just enjoying sharing
the air I breathe?

Are we all so ****ing jaded
Or is love just overrated?
A convenient excuse
We utilize and abuse
To keep someone
Tethered to our side?
Company bought and
Paid for with cheap words
And false emotions?
A meager offering that
Will either make
Or break the sale?

We’ve all become
Emotional misers
Too tightly wrapped
Hoarding and
Banking the
Three
Little
Syllables
That would buy so much
A loving bond
A gentle touch…

It’s truly a
Broken economy
Of the soul when we
Find ourselves
So emotionally
Bankrupt
That we can’t
Open up rusted
Vaults
And fill our
emptied
Coffers with
I Love Yous...

Emotional misers.
Hearts pictured with little visors,
bean counters of love?

Yet, among those on the floor
of the stock market of emotional greed
every now and again, you'll run into
one with the Midas touch.

Lifting those
who need it so much.
A touch, a word, a smile or a flower.
Infusing empty blooms
with their long lost power.

No calculation,
tabulation,
red tape,
or mouths agape.

A ticker tape parade,
a gravy marinade.
Icing on the cake,
a journey they can't help but take.

Laughter follows,
lifting minds, souls, and hearts
granted, still guarded, but
no longer vaulted away........................
