Best Bits And Pieces Poems

My youth is a puzzle, missing bits and pieces,
fragmented memories of family.

                          Piecemeal, faded
      ...

Little bits and pieces of what was once complete and whole
Broken shards of a crystal vase, each one sliced into my soul

A single red rose he offered, to ease my sorrow and my fears
petals withered and fell,  along with my woeful desolate tears

Broken vase,...

The  young man was just half awake
when his ticket was shred by mistake
the guaranteed winner
came out looking thinner
hope the crazy glue sticks for his sake....

They are scattered around. Everywhere.
Don't try to gather them. Let them stay.
The pieces of my heart. Scattered, uncared.
 
I have traveled a million miles. Too many places.
I have been in love. And seen too many faces.
Everytime, I find a home, I know  I need...

August moon leaps
Over plumeria boughs;
A lover waits

~~~~~~~~~


Jasmine in your hair
Scented portraits here;
Moonlit tryst 

~~~~~~~~~


Night bird serenade
Sleepy lullaby;
Frangipani shroud

~~~~~~~~~


Dark is the night
Solemn persuasion;
Stars come out to play

~~~~~~~~~


Window curtains
Veils sure surprise;
Inner fires surge

~~~~~~~~~


Blooming flowers
Garden sculptures here;
Wooden bench empty

~~~~~~~~~


East Coast Park
Voices in the dark;
Distant lights spark

~~~~~~~~~


Deeper than deep

BITS AND PIECES – two etheree

life
a short 
existence
by a window –
this simple stranger
in a complex structure
watching earth, land, sea and sky
pass o’er plains and woods and mountains high
to slowly, endlessly strive and gather,
by blind reason, bits and pieces of truth

the sound
that lifts soul –
a sweet...

Memories sift through my fingers 
            like sand
Of those I loved and then
            left behind.
Too simple, it seems, when we

When I was a child
my world was new.
And in my youth
I knew not of conspiracy theories;
social injustice,
hatred, bigotry, or mistrust.
Unconcerned with the reality
others could see;
those things remained
invisible to me.
When I started school
full of pep and energy;
I gradually lost what I held to be
precious and irreplaceable.

It does not take much to break even more
An already fragile porcelain doll; twist a heart..
While one turns their heads towards, another day ?...

Bits and pieces of your heart and soul
bits and pieces, fillet and sautéed
for the sad amusement of cruel men with mindless erections
Who snicker and grin
as they lay you down on a bed of nails
Naked and anesthetized
for the purpose of insensate insemination
s and feces, from hearts...

Braggadocios  Colonel McBragg
caught a truth bomb
gag shrapnel frag
This sent his damaged, prideful heart
on a flatline drag

His coffin was dress uniform covered
by a neatly folded flag

All those in consternated attendance,
wondered ruefully ...
with fretful thoughts a-sag,
that brain prickly did nag:
 
What classified secrets loose lips McBragg
had...

you were there when i wasnt
you saw what i couldnt
you heard what i wanted to know
you felt my pain
I envied a part of you
I understood 
as I studied those tears
you felt my agony
I longed for the sympathy you gave
gave your all not expecting anything in...
