Ailing Poems

Not for ailing love

our beautiful balloon, about to burst,
  an endless journey meets its sudden end,
    forced to tango with our faults.
  photographs torn, 
      glass shards 
       s   c   a   t   t

Ailing

Summer has slammed its last car door
Its a final goodbye year
your ailing cat and dog have both passed on
You've sold your campervan
strange it broke  the day after sale
You've promised not to get another pet
The clocked in hours tickle to a close
Your car needs a MOT
The long stretch between home and servicing

Ailing Earth

I’m the nature you abuse
Through the hazard that you use,
In the end, you’ll surely lose.

An Ailing Heart-

broken is the heart
Seeps and leaks the fervent heat
passions flame ignites

What's Ailing My Stomach

What's ailing my stomach,
Is causing me a heartache,
And a backache,
Ache like an acne,
Stubborn
Stubborn to the bone marrow
To the morrow
With chances so narrow
For glances
Or advances shallow
But piecing my heart like an arrow
Causing my hurt.

Looks like it is my thorn
Thorn in my throne
Throne of my flesh
That makes me fresh
Fresh every fresh day
Without a proud look
But in this

The Darkness of the Ailing Night

Late night news, morning news,  
 the insanity of the viral world
 3 am electrical wires light the quiet street 
 sleep evades me in a room of darkness
 then the sounds of the owl from the window
 calls out from the sharp smell of pines
 searching the grasses — watching the sky
 I

Ailing

I hear the raindrops plop like the sound of a slot unlocked.
I fear the passing dusking as the days of the year leave.

Time is going by so slowly, so surely.
Time is flying by so quickly, so uncertainly.

I feel down as I let out a frown, hoping he cometh home soon.
I lay on the bed as

Ailing Hue

How horrified was him with teeth so green
and by the water did he so self discover
so that on a homeward journey he hardly grin
and all who met him wonder what he suffer
By Jove! i must find what causeth this, he muse
and a getting home he bellowed and at the family
wanting and yearning to know the

Ailing

A cool winters wind; 
A friendship in need;
A call one could not bare;
The worst kind of health scare;
Incomprehensible destitute now;
True allegiance, duly proved;
Recovery, slow but true;
Will the scars ever heal.

To An Ailing Daughter

The moon peeped
 Through the window
  When I was looking for the sun
                  the waterfall of light

Ailing Father 2k11

In the blink o' an eye, absent thy might.  
Great pain eclipses the dawn once of thine eyes.  
Oh Father, how ye have aged o'ernight!  
Thou fadest ailing Father; Dusk thine eyes.

Ailing Heart

At last I concede defeat in this facetious world
The throbbing continuous pain, the rejections so cold
My dejected heart cannot take any fouls 
The frequent liars the impossible goals
Tasks undoable and words unspeakable
Tight smiles ending in painful cheeks miserable
Corporate positions held by inadequate persons
Funding disappearing moneys untimely endings
Alas my poor heart this charade cannot take
This unhelpful
