DREAMY FLUFF
donโt take this
the wrong way but
Iโll never grow tired
of seeing you,
looking at you,
staring you down,
dreaming of you,
waking up beside you – alone
DAYS LONG GONE
Remember the days
of busy tones and congestion
When voicemail was the mother answering the phone
One phone in the hallway
corded coil and
privacy by whisper
Remember those days – days long gone
Nature’s force
I saw nature’s force today
Bee on bee in motion
Smashing into the
Patio door then
A fist fight on the
stone floor
Neither happy with
Other not yealding
Tumbling into cracks
Between rugged slabs
Silence
Silence
Reappearing moments
Later
Small on large
Stillness
A fluttering of wings
Stillness
Lifting off apart
A meeting of two
Nature’s force
The Bee’s knees
Consummated
REMIND ME
I need someone to remind me
of the things I have forgotten
the lost and the treasured
the forests and
the meadows
the streams and
falling water
I need someone to remind me
that all is still there
waiting to be found
THEY STOOD AND FELL
They stood as Is
side by side
with waves approaching
shore in silence
fear ruling
momentarily gasping
for air
Battering waves
rising towers
God have mercy
crushing power
bringing down
wraths of daemons and
gods forgotten
leaving none
standing –
all fallen
IS IT WORTH IT?
Hours in preparation
dicing
chopping
weighing
slicing
Minutes to devour
munch
slurp
munch
slurp
munch
burp
Only the blood of the gods remain
SHADES OF FEAR
He often wonders of
the early years
was there badness lurking
shades of fear
was there someone there
bad in heart
wishing ill
for the boy
playing the
innocent part
As a wee little boy he
skipped around
hated cycling as much
as swimming along
the fish was caught
in early morn
grand father drunk
lies were told
The years went on
the skipping stopped
he started cycling and
swimming of sort
the grand father died but
the drinking of ale
escaping of life
continues today
