I have current friends,
Who fill me with surges of fresh  electricity,
When they strum my heartstrings with their melodies.
I have acquaintances.
Who bother to give me the time of day.
Say hello and be on their way.

I had a lover.
Several in fact.
Each unlike any other.
I have social networking friends,
They listen to me, I listen to them.
Most of them, like me,
Put pen to paper.

I have family.
I'm lucky.
Surreptitiously.
They walk through my world.
Giving me new direction.
And sadly,
They hate poetry.
(C) Livvi

For many centuries we have wandered
Waiting for the answers we seek
We may have faltered
In not asking the right questions
Treading over the bridges of human bonding
We have come this far
Where shall this path lead us?
Or, we may be heading towards a cul-de-sac
Heading towards a collision with our reality
Not meaningful enough
Waylaid till now, with many distractions
Of all we know
We may have been seeking the wrong
Do we have the faintest idea
What we have lived for, till now?

The pressure of your lips
The dirt on my tongue..
It all tasted the same.
I never knew what it would be like
To feel hollow
Until my knees crumbled
And the floor became my home.
The wind was never
A good friend of mine;
It only whispered under the sun
But whipped when I was bare.
And I'm starting to wonder
If that foreshadowed
The way our hearts
Are always in the wrong place
At the wrong time.
