*** The oak ***



“The oak
Stands
On guard; –
Watch
Close
Who is woke:
The leaf,
The trunk,
Or the crown; –

*** Root ***

The oak
Lands
To froze,
- Time
Seems
To have shard,
Stiff,
Shrunk,
Winds in soak; –

*** Root ***

The oak
Has
Deep roots; –
Rich
Streams
Fill this earth,
Grief,
Drunk,
Are world’s dreams – ”

*** Tides ***



“Tides
Of life
Come and go; –
All
Through slides,
Friend or foe,
- For
Each, guides,
Fast, or slow; –

*** Root ***

Tides
In strife,
Rhythm and flow; –
- Time
To grow,
Not take sides,
- High
Or low,
Fields in rife; –

*** Root ***

Tides,
- Thus, change,
Roll or row; –
Stretch
To wides,
So and so, –
In
A sketch,
Shores to plough – ”

peggy sue.. got blue
as her man
he ran away
and left her
with a cabin full of bills

It's true.. she knew
that he'd up
and leave one day
and she slept
beneath a bottle
full of pills

and this bottle
eased her pain
bouncy castle's
for her brain

and she worked
her fingers
to the bone..

.. and the only friend
she had
was bein'
alone..



peggy sue.. like you
had dreams and plans
and schemes
voted
most likely
to rule the world

she tried..
and cried..
and cried and tried
some more
as the years
got caught by winds
and were unfurled

there's a hole
in mamma's brain
where all the pain goes
and that is life
and life is hard
I suppose
.
big dogs
do have big ears
its the same
with blood and tears
sweet bones
dont last too long
on broken rodeos

peggy sue
died too
in the fall of 85
after serving
in her own
domestic war

and bottle was put away
and her kids
went seperate ways
to a place called
god knows where

with god knows who

She’s great
Never hates
Always honest
Sticks to her promises
Always there
before I even realize
heart of gold
Holds your secrets
Never lies
Even if it makes me cry
Catches me off guard
Makes me laugh so hard
She’ll help me in a flash
A special human being
She’ll never understand me
Yet Never abandon me
always there to help
Gives me crash courses on life
embedded in my heart
I couldn’t possibly have a better friend
I’m so happy I found you
Thank you for being my friend

The happiest and saddest day of the year
Celebrated by the broken hearted in tears
Year after year waiting for your loved one
Cupid’s arrow always passing by with none

Those deeply in love embracing the day
In their own private world of sunshine rays
Red roses – candy hearts with cute verses
Loving kisses in their own universes

Each having their own dreams of days ahead
Some dreams granted – while others in shred
Here’s wishing everyone happiness this year
Spending it with someone you love most dear

Suddenly the world stood still
Silence spread across the land
Not even the song of a bird trill
Every peep and movement banned

A feared darkness spread over all
Inhabitants tucked in their abodes
Not wanting company coming to call
Afraid that the darkness would implode

At first desiring for all to be normal
To get back to the way things were
But were things really abnormal
And a permanent change about to occur

For out of the darkness good things came
Bravery – kindness – caring – new friends
Supporting others – not knowing their name
For no doubt the World had transcend

Ten little boyfriends looking so fine
One was obsessed with food and wine
Then there were nine.

Nine little boyfriends asked me for dates
One comes always so very late
Then there were eight.

Eight little boyfriends searching for heaven
One was dishonest, appearing nice even
So there were seven.

Seven little boyfriends learning varied tricks
One fell down and just got sick
Then there were six.

Six little boyfriends very much alive
One get addicted to dancing the jibe
And then there were five.

Five little boyfriends knocked at the door
One broke his head falling on the floor
And then there were four.

Four little boyfriends who loved the sea
One got drowned, so sad you see
And then there were three.

Three little boyfriends who were nice and true
One disappeared without any clue
And then there were two.

Two little boyfriends loving the sun
One caught cancer when his skin was burned
So there was one.

One little boyfriend oozing with charm
But too dangerous for anyone
And then there was none.

My own composition

3rd time

Ugh!

Obedience of the poet

Is this a test
See if I'll
Listen to
Loving message sent from above
First one Great
Second one better
Third one a charm
will be grand

read a poem titled
A Poem for my fellow poets
From ROS
ReaderOfSoul
AKA cowboy poet?
It inspired me much
It initiated a new poem
It was like I just won an
All expense paid vacation

It would be a sin
To not recreate
retype it again
When I read her poem
I was surely blessed
Elevated to a higher
"Realm on earth!"
Inspired lifted up
Motivated
A poet
and
she must know it
Writes because
Her words flow
like an assignment
Her job to bring
peace & power
to rejuvenate inspire
She never knows
when the angel will knock
To request she listen & sing
But she must be obedient
To the Angel message
Because it flows
from the heavens
To the pen or text
It would be a sin
To not share her gift
Of peace
Love smiles grins laughter
An instrument of peace
She is truly the
Queen of her castle
Protected by her moat
Put the drawbridge down
Open it up
Let her king back home
She deserves
A chance

It was like I won
This wonderful
Vacation
Hawaiian Islands
Lei flower fragrant necklaces

live amongst
Refreshing trade winds
sandy white clean beach
Enjoy the water waves
Sand sun fruit shade
In a quant peaceful bungalow
A comfortable bed
Wrapped in a
Cabana of white cotton thread
With Roses
above my head
fragrance
kissed by the sun
Like u could taste
silky red petals
All covered in dew
fruit was
vine ripe to perfection
Pineapple
coconut milk so fine
mango & all the rest
Money could find
Hawaiian
BBQ roast beef stew
With pineapple chunks
&
sliced water chestnuts
Your pallet will say
Mmmm ...
I never have tasted that before
Send more more more ...
Down to my tummy
The BBQ sauce is
wonderful
Just right!
She says to her mate
Should we rest sleep
Or
Be up by *eight?
Afternoon delight
Siesta fiesta
Movement to beat
Dance sing
all night
Relax at the beach
Hear the wind
Relax in the sand
In between our toes
So soothing
they sleep at the beach there
In comfort & joy
He says theres no need to rush
We can take our time
It's all paid for
To stay as long as we want
Maybe we can
hire the singer artist
"IZ"
Israel Kamakawiwo' ole
To play n our dreams
A tender
gentle rendition of
"Some where over the rainbow"
Or
"It's a wonderful world"
With his Hawaiian
"ukulele"
String instrument
For he no longer
resides on this earth
he has returned home
to his father
on June 26 1997
Can u believe it
23 years it doesn't seem so long ago just yesterday!

Let's stock up
On the best salad
Fixins' money can
Buy
Juicy ripe tomatoes
And crunchy vegetables
Celery heart
Crispy Cucumbers
Baby pickeled beets
Boiled eggs
Steak onions mushrooms
Romane or crunchy ice berg lettuce
And all the crunchy vegetables
we can find
"Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing"
Coconut macaroons
Slushy fruit
strawberry smoothies
Chilled just right
Fresh seafood mighty fine
Let's not forget some big seashells that they blow on the beach
on their horns
To celebrate
Or
Start a party on the beach
To pray & have peace
Let's not forget
The shirts with flowers
For men & women
The shell white bracelets
strung on elastic
adjustable
just right for your wrists
The mother of pearl
Dove necklace
Upon your necks
The peace of paradise
Pure Bliss!
But let's
Rebook
Another
Reservation
In advance
For
Our
Love Nest
Anniversary
Next year
won't
B
expensive
Hopefully
Just
Bliss!

I find myself sitting all alone
And that old home time feeling is gone
There's an echo of yesterday with no way to reply
And time is quickly passing by

Time passed by quickly and stolen precious things
It seems all my friends flew away on invisible wings
And I'm tired of remembering
Cause that old home time feeling is gone

I try to sing but I can't keep the beat
It's a lonesome sound as I tap my feet
The view of my neighborhood is empty and bare
There's one hillside then another the two places where I stare

There's a place you are traveling to and you're almost there
And when you arrive you won't greet an empty chair
But when you get older you'll travel in the twilight zone
And you will find that old home time feeling is gone

You're hands are rough
Like a mountain Pitt
They surcomb to evolution
Must we not forget
The troubled times
Theve being around a lot
Mulucking through the dirt
On the old farm.plain

Tillaging through the dirt
They are all.hard and wrinkled due to passing time
But your hands tells a story
Of glorious times
Gone by
Your hand take up your pipe
With a little shake
No more will they work
On the little tillage farm
You.pet your dog
For all the work done
And take up your pipe
To puff and blow
No more will you worry
About the past times gone.


The End
