Best Long And Short Of It Poems

I awakened about midnight in the middle of the day.
I was crawling swiftly toward you as I slowly raced away.
I hummed a merry melody that truly had no tune
As I ate my cup of coffee and then drank my bowl of prune.
The pot of beans...

When I was little I thought the older a person was, the more brain cells you grew.
Thus, older people are smarter than little people. 
That thought was long gone by the time I was four or five.
At eight I was so confused by big hand...

The long and short of it 

I find the poetry I read
while running through this site
Takes my breath away from me
and makes me want to write

But when I sit to do the same
with thoughts I have to share
I drop the pen and realize
that I can...

It's deeply engrained in our psyche

It's obvious every single day of our lives

We travel life's highway admiring the scenery passing by

This one make me sit up and take notice

That one turns my rusty old crank

Now this...

Or as brief as a footle, just four words.
It might...

Long Story Short

       it's the room over there whose
       yellow walls and chrome framed
       chairs keep ringing like

A walk around the block in my parents’ neighborhood at dawn
wearing mom’s sweater and pop's sneakers with a clown hole cut out for  
      toe infection
I was stopped by a cop in a cruiser
this was during the Vietnam War...

she just put on a mask
looked me in the eyes
said I love you

made dinner washed dishes
went to bed had sex didn't
hugged kissed fought cried
said I love you for a decade 
behind my back in front of the world
took off the mask

I asked about her family.
She started to say “to make a long story short.
her story went on and on and on
There was a barn, a country road, a duck pond.
It rambled and ambled,
My eyes were scrambled.
It was my third yawn.
She reiterated “to make a long...

Long story short,
I have missed my chance,
To love,
By not giving a glance,
To the girl with a open heart,
Willing to dance,
To make this distance between us,
Smaller,
So it can turn into romance,
But being me,
I nicely,
Turned her down,
Into thee,
Dark Depression,
Where I stay,
When I feel unworthy...

No empathy, but scorn, cause I am not
The one that meets the eligible entry
Your government won’t like the fact I’ve got
A lifetime story short which seems eccentric
It takes me to the underground train
That goes encircled in perpetual motion 
One stop invites to make a change...

Some day
One day
Any day and
Every day
I’ll be here
Loving you.
A love which 
Makes no sense
To most
Is nothing if not
Beautifully logical
To me.
A love which
They would
Have us hide
Shall have
In part
A shaded past
But later
It will thrive.
A love which
Will defy
The clock
Which will negate
The test
Of time
Shall run on
But not out
Regardless
And always....
