written in 2015......
I was so very fortunate growing up a young child to know a very sweet and loving grandmother, (Maggie), who taught me how to study nature and learn all the birds by their songs and all the flower names by the little rhymes she made up for them that grew along the roadside. She has been long gone now, but in my heart I will always cherish her.
An allegory for our voyage through life and our quest for companionship...
it is a passage of "bad timing", that's all I have to say about it -_-
I have been journaling since I was nine... Dear Diary evolved over the years to Poet to Poet- Coffee shop at the Edge of the Universe. Where the smell of burnt toast fills the air, Me in a corner booth scribbling on napkins so I don't choke on metaphors...
Little Sara ran into the house with her freckles and a letter 'Mommy, it's a poem from daddy!' Mommy wipes her hands on her apron and turns the heat down on the stove 'O dear! Sara flys into mommys arms and mommy sits Sara on her lap and sa
Inspired by one of those misty, humid, summer nights.
Sometimes the thoughts in my head seem to explode Sometimes my heart is locked and has no code To be opened again, to beat the right song I found a small light of a candle The darkness can be fought away But sometimes you come and blow it out
LOVE IT!!
Pure and natural food for thought
"Love is a decision, it is a judgement, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgement and decision." - Erich Fromm - (The Art of Loving) "But let there be spaces in your togetherness. And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow." Kahlil Gibran – (The Prophet)
Humorous Haiku for you....

I went out last night and seen something that brought this poem to my mind. It has given much to think about. I was married a long time. It seems some think cheating does not hurt anyone. I was shocked at how some parade their cheating around. Do they use a parade of lies to justify it?
The house is so silent, no men, no kids, no pets Four walls to listen to the sound of my regrets My memories they linger when I close my eyes Those wonderful days when I was so wise The cry of a baby, the sound of the door The cats, the dogs, th
Just a compilation of some speeches I've heard on different award shows, Fiona Apple, Will Smith, The guy in American Pie, the woman who swore this year at the oscars.
Old fashioned no tattoo's No smoke to roll just ocean waves Crashing away my blues Some forgotten lifestyle from the past Still hanging on a little longer than some would like to see But that's me Sometimes there's eye contact with certain
'Hopeless Romantic' - N.R Hart
Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced. John Keats
If one hides the truth for too long it will eventually burst thru like floodwaters thru a breached levee. Don't try to hold back. Say what you need to say, and say it to whom you feel you need to say it to, or you could find yourself........
A fictional, suspenseful, or quite possibly a true occurrence, 2008/12/06...twd 9/25/21
Inspired by personal feelings at times and by the theme from 'interstellar'-'S.T.A.Y.'
These are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs. It's important to remember that even in faith we are constantly tested. The devil will never stop trying to get to us. You have to fight to remain good and pure in all that you do, all the time.
On October 7, 2017, my 85yr old father murdered my older brother's wife then killed himself. Its been extremely difficult to find forgiveness for him. But seasons have changed. And it's getting very close to Spring. All happiness is on the verge of full bloom.

We grow old not from an old age Not from the lived years. We grow old for fatigue, For offenses and from sins. From melancholy and hopelessness, From unfulfilled love, From everyday hopelessness, Daily vanity From cares that are only mult

I was listening to some old Harry Chapin tracks on you tube and i was moved to write this... it a mash up of feelings i felt from hearing such songs as 'W.O.L.D', 'Circles', 'Taxi' and 'A better place to be'...Listening to Chapin always stirs my emotions up, as i think of the problems of life in these times.

'Paper Heart' - Ariana Dancu
Trapped inside of my head, it's flooding with dread, I'm drowning. Swimming up for air, I hear a voice so fair, a cause to care? I'm fighting. Through fog and disrepair, I rip and I tear, I'm climbing. Scaling up for the light, her hand
Twenty nine year old Susan Vale parked her car on this cold December morn.. She wrapped her fur coat tightly around her neck and commenced the one block walk to the Lee Case office building where she worked as a Para Legal. For twelve years Susa
Your passion bleeds through my soul, making my heart quiver, like a flower, touched by the loving kiss, of Winters cold... In my eyes you dwell within beauty, and your beauty is what I behold... I love you...
Viva razor-edge love beauty tussled cool the breathing of the matador Viva love's caravels foreign shores dance the imperishable night Viva, viva, love's surprise
