Gut Punch
This punch is so hard
takes your breath away
Gasping for air
yet life just laughs in your face
Life punches you right in the gut
fucking hurts so bad
As tough as I am
Im begging for mercy here
I cant take it anymore
Im waving a white flag
All the stress I have taken
has been enough for 100 lifetimes
Please have mercy on me, Life
I beg of you.....
Or you can take all this bullshit
and go fuck yourself
then try to find me
and punch me some more
maybe Ill be stronger next time
and throw some fucking punches back.....

There are times when I walk out in sub-zero weather
right in the middle of summer
and bath feels like a polar plunge
and I am gut-punched by the sweetest memory
because your grip on me
is constant winter and stomach-clench
prognosis for a long seriously cold death

As the cold tries to clench your heart, know there are smiles there to see
that will warm any soul thats been frozen.....

hello beautiful Mysterious One I am left feeling guilty on this and I know it is my own conscious telling me I made someone feel this way today and perhaps I did without meaning to or by misunderstanding their thoughts...you know we've been around each other a lot these years as poets...I wonder how much we are referring to our day to day lives and or our interconnecting lives here...in any case I don't ever want to be the cause in this in you and I don't think I am but you know... I love you ❤️

Life is supposedly about give and take but from our perspective it's more take than give. Tight write Lady

Dear ML,
Well said! Some days it feels like it’s best to call it a day with your middle finger up and start again tomorrow. With any luck tomorrow will be kinder and gentler and I really appreciated your outlook in this poem. Cheers to that better tomorrow. Great write. H🌷

I don't worry about you.
You're sensitive but tough
I'd bet on you in a street fight any day of the week.
The battles suck but you're a fighter
Beers afterwards babe while I clean you up and nurse your wounds
BIG LIKE

Thanks, PS.
Even as tough as I am, I still get hurt.
This person was important to me. I however wasnt to them.
That shit sucks. Bitches are rough sometimes. damn.
Yet we all rise again to strive for better days, right!
And yes you are correct,
I will fuck someone up, big time. Yet Ill still cry after. <3

You'll love this. It's a bit more of Billy's f*ckin' wisdom. I didn't say it, however, but somehow I think you'll agree it all fits. George Harrison of The Beatles once said, "Everything goes in a cycle, and once it starts going down and you get knocked to the ground, they start kicking you!" True or what?! ;-)
