We met at a bend
You were melting into drizzle
Dropping slight and slow
There was no other sign
The piece of light inside my head turned into street lamp
That was a mysterious moment when I could see you, through
Your heart was clear, your misery was clear
There was no page marker
I have read you, all over

October, 2016

Old were the bones
Found washed up
On the shore
Lost in the sea
Many years ago
Long after was life
Was empty of light
Buried under sand
No longer cold
As the deep sea
Now basking in the sun
Lying on the beach
Next to me once more

Moon of silver, shine for me
Reaching beauty, across the sea
Shimmering light, a pathway form
Across the ocean, in still or storm

Allowing dreamers, with mesmerizing gaze
Releasing wishes, time never erase
Mix of memories past, and those to make
With strangers-friends, in truth not fake

Sharing moments, of life and love
Luna linking presence, high above
Seen from far corners, of the same globe
Releasing emotions, as happiness flowed

Maker of hopes, and dreams unique
With childlike wonder, belief's may creep
Lifting daydreams, towards a goal
Miracles can happen, to nourish a soul.

Those special people, we meet in life
Who caress our thoughts, never give strife
Distance can never break the friendship bond
Thoughts make us smile, like a wizard waves a wand.

Is anybody out there
There there…

What’s wrong with me
This must be

Can’t see beyond Lee
Can anybody help me

Strong I must be
Hope can’t see

Does anyone love me
It can’t be

Look to see
Hidden me

Somebody see
I’m lost ultimately

To be
Lonely

Once again the Democratic committee hand picked who they wanted
The people wanted Bernie Sanders
Instead the people got me
I think I'm better than Hillary Clinton
And thankfully the economy is in the crapper
So I'll have a better chance this time around
As far as my accomplishments
Umm....
I did help a child who stutters just like I used to
That's something, right?
So vote for me America
Or you'll have another four years of making fun of the orange man
Donald Trump!

Life sends us tests that attitude can over come
Yes health can be a factor, far worse for some
Then there is romance, to add to the pot
Love is important, but first join all the dots

Someone you can rely upon, at anytime
Sadly we never know, when life is fine
Time is the answer, there is no race
Spending time together, a foundation base

Devotion comes in many, shapes and forms
For some it is a birth right, gifted when born
Others find their true love, a soul mate too
It's what many search for, and can come true

Yet whatever the journey, to do your very best
Some are not keepers, compare as a guest
Also with health problems, they come and go
Supported with friends, is better than a foe

Select those around you, with the best of care
When you need a friend, real ones will share
Highs and lows, will be eased you'll see
Finding special people, caring is the key

To learn from life's hic-cups, a bonus of sorts
Means silver linings are a gift, isn't bought
I was lucky, finding special people that cared
Time they gave freely, and happily shared.

I cannot keep you like a bird in a cage!
Sometimes you read poetry to me.
Sometimes you forgive me my sins.
Sometimes you are my life-giving water
Sometimes... only sometimes.
You have so many rules,
I will never learn them all.
You know, I am not an angel,
And I cannot change it.
I cannot keep you like a bird in a cage!
Sometimes you read poetry to me....
Sometimes...

If I wrote something
It would be for you
If I wrote something it would be for only you

And just between you and me
If you read it
Would you call it poetry

Would you remember my name like I remember yours
Would you remember the flame
In my heart the flame still endures


If I wrote something would you read it at all
If I wrote something
Winter summer spring and fall

Wherever you are I hope life is good I'm doing fine
If I wrote something would you read it and pretend
That you had a wish you could have been mine

saturday!

I got a call from my mom
Three of them
I was out trying to watch the sun set
I couldn't because clouds were near the horizon
I couldn't get a hold of her
I went the next day to see what she needed
Money
I knew where the money she had went
Her grandson had gobbled it all up
The drugs, the cigarettes, fast food every day, trips all over
She loves her grandson
Enough to exclude all the rest of her kids, grandchildren, and great grandchildren
I don't know how long she can keep it up
Are there loans against the house?
How far in debt is she really?
There are plenty like her in the same situation
I call it stealing
Others might call it elder abuse
Either way, it sucks, big time!
