Abandoning Poems

Super Bowl cancelled.
NBA games played to empty stadiums
Virus has caused havoc
Corona incites fear

America is abandoning her entertainment fields
Las Vegas is bereft
Disney land and Disney World have no tourists
People are at home locked in houses 

Neighbors are not neighboring
Churches and schools...Read More

Can the world be made better by stacking our Courts
With immoderate friends that we trust share our views?
Is Court’s dignity served, are its verdicts revered,
Does it mean I’m ‘supreme’ when a fluke helps my side?
Is a ‘litmus test bias’ the...Read More

Said he, the one who cannot see,” In my vast country where millions reside amity is rare, unity is scarce; the disrespectful people all the time misbehave, they speak ill of others, they use foul language and usually target a...Read More

Snap... crackle... pop... microwave went kaput

After start button pushed
immediate auditory signal issued
nsync with billowing smoke
time saving convenient contrivance
rendered defunct trucked to dumpster.

Pre owned electronic contraption
unpredictably went on fritz
malfunction occurred without warning
luckily spouse, the Misses
she instantaneously intervened
lest towering inferno engulfed
yours truly...Read More

January 17th, 2020, a moost memorable outing at Collegeville Diner

A hardy acknowledgement yessiree
to the blessed sister Amelie worthy
of such beloved, devoted,
feted husband Rich truly
bestowed predicated upon
random chain of events

i.e., accidental, biological,
and genealogical happenstance prithee
applauding, apprising, and appraising key

I finally finished retiring four years ago,
a process that started in my mid-fifties
due to late adopting kids with special needs,
including needs for me to be home
to personally walk them on,
harness them in,
and wheel them back off, their diverse buses
and robotic...Read More

An orchestra of silence,
engulfed by the clever dark, 
a blood-bath of violence, 
triggered by a black remark.

A shadow in a cage,
slave to the devil's task,
a burning flame of rage,
concealed behind a mask.

Abandoning humanity,
and the cruel light of day,
his soul of pure insanity,
feeds...Read More

We Don’t Always Get Up

Born my son 
of youth, 
My pride 
shadowed you, 

Our long talks
 sitting under the stars,
Your wisdom 
learning astounding.

You followed me,
To the sky, 
Your letters, 
 soothed ego,
 in uniform you came,
healthy and strong.

Randomness comes, without...Read More

Maybe one day. 

Good bye to my sorrows 
Hello to my darkness 
I fell without you 
This whole time I’ve felt unconscious 

Thank you for abandoning me 
Thank you for being so heartless 
You’re selfish 
You’re deceiving 
Your whole life...Read More

Through The Valley Page 187

From reality, now only a memory 

Pfc. Tony May crawled over to Zbozien to give him some protection when the first smoke rounds struck between the line of hootches and NVA positions. He and the other...Read More

I rose from my couch unhappy, as one of the dead, 
Repose reluctant to join me, 
My window shades enticed, to display a truth
So unnatural to refuse, I did abrade myself to look
There! 
A black and white film alighting on...Read More

I come to you as a child,
the process one of aging
from an infant seeking
to an adult knowing,
to an adult yielding
to an adult exulted
who now realizes nothing 
is greater than your endless patience 
and all abiding love.

I lift to you on...Read More

By Paris Thulare 

I am the reflection of  my own shadow
The one behind the existence of barrows 
I am the daughter with pride 
I am the  son at the top of a river nile 

She gave me the...Read More

I wonder at what lesson had been taught 
abandoning the gift I treasured most...
in every dream conceived, you held me close.
Yet, now, each tear I cry seems all for naught - 
mere remnants, never noticed, shared, nor caught,
nor tasted, but...Read More

Amongst the freshness of silence my thoughts are brightly amplified. scaring  my mind with tracks of syllables and vowels. Which manipulated in the write sequence needed, fit precisely together to map out plays of events long since discarded into...Read More

Upon my life your winter still drizzles
Evoking the morns that arose in despair
And nights that steered dreams into sorrow,

As I sit all alone in valleys of destitute
Where memories haunt pitfalls of yore.

Tender and sweet, you were my ruby rose--
In garden...Read More

Eighty-eight years ago on the twentieth day of May, a child was born, and the angels danced in heaven rejoicing her birth. She possessed a splendorous soul, and her aura shone. She had many hardships to endure in her youth,...Read More

Fears of Abandonment

I feel you need
and want me less
than I need
and want you,
and like you,
or how about exclusively
peculiarly
curiously love you?
adult with mature adult,
embracing EarthTribe perennial invitation
into nutritious co-habitation.

And yet I fear
we both would rather invest ourselves
in most any distraction,
entertainment,
idle gossip,
idol...Read More

For one I cannot understand 
the mentality abandoning logic and reasoning 
Firstly within the people of this island 
cutting the allowance for those with disabilities 
this should be slammed as an attack on the most vulnerable 

Where doctors preforming abortions...Read More

The way our hands explored, the thrill we felt
   Our eyes were glazed, our hearts so wildly throbbed
The chill outside, our eager mouths did melt
   A prelude to romance, sheer passion robbed
  
We fled the...Read More

Barreling down the mountain of forgetfulness, 
I raced to Wal-Mart for that last minute gift.  
We’ve not seen his children since Christmas.
Despite their quicksand of un-thankfulness, 
I want him to have something for this Father’s Day.  
His son...Read More

There will be a day… you will come back looking for me again…
You will cry all the tears in the world to get me back again..…
You will make all the promises and swear you will fulfill them..…
You will say you...Read More

I walk my life on my own terms,
setting the course on the pathway I paved.
I see probing faceless people crowd uncalled,
break the fence of protected privacy, try to pry,
asking incisive questions shredding my persona,
I don’t answer.

They want their footprints I...Read More

Created to belong to the one soul
For whom my heart would beat
Rhythmic beats of thirsting desires
I have,
Since times immemorial
Enjoyed this state of being
A slave to Love!

Why, loving requires patience,
Submission, abandoning my throne
And even accepting to disrobe my soul
Among gaping crowds,
Made...Read More

~~ode to the fallen~~ 

I cherish that day he chose me amongst all others. 
Attentively I watched him determinedly fight to

once upon a peculiar day I just happened to visit 
a vet; 
as if he...Read More
