The inky grey
Faltering
the sound of a distant church bell
flocks of starlings
in the village
all men are dressed in black
proceeding to the grave site
I can see it from my refuge
high on the hill
in the weakening winter sun
who Matthews was
I hardly knew
whether he fought
I do not know
bound for the earth
all in his time
I light a cigarette
and going downwind
I descend
into the inky grey
the sound of a distant church bell
flocks of starlings
in the village
all men are dressed in black
proceeding to the grave site
I can see it from my refuge
high on the hill
in the weakening winter sun
who Matthews was
I hardly knew
whether he fought
I do not know
bound for the earth
all in his time
I light a cigarette
and going downwind
I descend
into the inky grey

About this poem:
slice of life
online today!Never Forgotten ( My Precious Angel Jessica )
My baby left on a journey
To a haven beyond the stars,
She is quietly resting
From this world's pain & tears,
God looked down from heaven
And saw your tired face
He lifted you so gently
And took you to paradise to rest;
Though it shattered my soul to lose you
But you did not go alone
Cause part of me went with you
The day God called you to His blessed home;
I wish I could see you once more
I know its not possible,
But I will meet you soon,my baby,
Never to be parted again;
God can see how much I miss you,
What pain I go through each day
The tears I have shed all these years
Since you went away.
To a haven beyond the stars,
She is quietly resting
From this world's pain & tears,
God looked down from heaven
And saw your tired face
He lifted you so gently
And took you to paradise to rest;
Though it shattered my soul to lose you
But you did not go alone
Cause part of me went with you
The day God called you to His blessed home;
I wish I could see you once more
I know its not possible,
But I will meet you soon,my baby,
Never to be parted again;
God can see how much I miss you,
What pain I go through each day
The tears I have shed all these years
Since you went away.

About this poem:
Tribute to my daughter on her birthday. they say time heals but no for me.A sordid vintage
Marion returns
from the kitchen
coveting glasses
1962 is passing
Chevy in the rain
I fan the magazine
feign interest in the television
Marion pours deliberately
a sordid vintage
Floyd Patterson
Marilyn was a tragedy
Marion eyes me for reaction
I shift slowly
with suburban malaise
missiles for Cuba
Love, love me do
Marion hums
this year I'll grow my hair
escape the city
Glenn in orbit
from the kitchen
coveting glasses
1962 is passing
Chevy in the rain
I fan the magazine
feign interest in the television
Marion pours deliberately
a sordid vintage
Floyd Patterson
Marilyn was a tragedy
Marion eyes me for reaction
I shift slowly
with suburban malaise
missiles for Cuba
Love, love me do
Marion hums
this year I'll grow my hair
escape the city
Glenn in orbit

About this poem:
Events from 1962 wrapped into a poem..Still we reign
Sipping from your eternal spring
an amber night filled with heather
moving amongst your curls
Oh would you not curse me
if I told you all, now,
in this moment, close
where spirit meets the flesh
through long joyful hours
imbibing from the urn
cast naked before me
for we have come from afar
awash with youth
and though the heavens
may pass ceaselessly
still we reign
an amber night filled with heather
moving amongst your curls
Oh would you not curse me
if I told you all, now,
in this moment, close
where spirit meets the flesh
through long joyful hours
imbibing from the urn
cast naked before me
for we have come from afar
awash with youth
and though the heavens
may pass ceaselessly
still we reign

About this poem:
just fantasy
SLEEP…
Lost in an abyss of darkness, I seek after it warily.
Fighting off the Insomnia that so easily overtakes me can be hard;
And sleep can be so elusive when I want it.
But I know it won’t always be so.
I don’t seem to need it as much as I have before,
But I must have it often…until I need it no more.
Longing for the abyss of darkness, I seek after it wearily.
Sleep hides me away from my fears and my doubts,
So come, sweet sleep, and hide me now.
And, one day, it’ll hide me away from this life too.

So come, sweet sleep, and hide me now.
And, one day, it’ll hide me away from this life too.

About this poem:
When you can't/won't sleep, why not write. LOL!
Fear
I feel that stream bubbling inside
You have really have no clue
How much I am trying to hide
What I am going through
When cosmic forces collide
When my blood turns to blue
The long silent scream I cried
The wind born flowers strew
Over barren winter fields died
Did life ever so happy knew
Was joy only mine to hide
Or just fear to draw and slew
Like a sword into my side
So much worry to cut through
You have really have no clue
How much I am trying to hide
What I am going through
When cosmic forces collide
When my blood turns to blue
The long silent scream I cried
The wind born flowers strew
Over barren winter fields died
Did life ever so happy knew
Was joy only mine to hide
Or just fear to draw and slew
Like a sword into my side
So much worry to cut through

About this poem:
Baseless anxieties shouldn’t become permanent roadblocks. Fear is such a raw emotion.

“You give a flower to the man - and the one, in his recklessness and ignorance, throws it away.
You give a pebble to the man, then,
smaller than any pebble
the open eye would have seen it, - but the man throws it again, from the same precepts; - or you, hearing his heart that he no longer listens to, you know he was shouting: these are too big for me!.."

Îi daruie?ti o pietricica, atunci, omului,
mai mica decât orice pietricica
ar fi zarit-o ochiul liber, - însa omul, ?i-o arunca, iara?i, din acelea?i precepte; - ori tu, auzindu-i inima pe care nu ?i-o mai asculta, ?tii ca striga: sunt prea mari, pentru mine, acestea!..”

LOVE I GUESS
THAT THING CALLED LOVED, I SEARCHED FOR IT EVERYWHERE.
I ASSUME IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL?
YOU SAY LOVE IS A BIG DEAL.
MEETING SOMEONE ADEQUATE & STARTING A NEW LIFE.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN THAT ANYMORE.
I WILL ENJOY LOVE IN MODERATIONS TILL IT'S OVER. NO ONE IS HURT.
NO TEARS TO HIDE.
MOVE ON AND BEGIN THE CYCLE AGAIN.

!?
I do not know what to do
except for loving you
but it seems like all my words
are not coming through
I am so alone
in my heart and bone
because you always keep me
in that friendly zone
you do not want to love me
you do not want to kiss
what does it take for you to see me
and that I am someone you should miss!?
except for loving you
