Best Merrily Poems

love birds coo coo  coo
mouths holding honeymoon hands
sailing rapture glow

she walked so merrily into my heart
twas so very rarely done
our two spirits joined as one
two hearts made into one and rare kind of love begun
twas so very rarely done
what a happiness to behold
two hearts made onto one and rare kind of love begun
saddness and...

Merrily Down The Stream

While on our honeymoon to Ireland our flight went down
It landed in the stormy ocean
My wife and I just married and in a hurry to leave town
Nobody drowned but we’re stuck in this commotion

People climbing over each other in the dark
We finally...

Its a revolving door
Its a Spirit turning into a Christmas store
We aren't satisfied, we aren't longing to stay long

You can hide behind the settee
When the monsters come on the TV
But when you leave a space in my heart
Spinning in my room, head hitting the ceiling

Merrily...

Go to sleep
Your health you’ll keep
Don’t lie awake and worry

For that’s interest paid
On a debt not made
Which robs you of your merry...

NOT SO MERRILY

in evening light, the tree not so merrily —
its shades shut tight, in revelry, lids beating

the coal cache — the portly man, delivering
tongues grab and stow curses repeatedly

astride of hohoho — his sleigh weighty
held back by slick-haired elves stampeding

faux-fur falls suffocating — snowfall...

Why can't I enter Nirvana 
in one fell swoop
'cause that's what I wanna
to end this endless loop.
Old deeds done--new lessons learned
pre Karma lost---post Karma earned
all things positive--all negatives spurned.
row row row your boat--------------------
Life is but a Dream...

Merrily Streaming

Merrily streaming good movies along, 
HD, SD and sometimes black and white,
barring sweetheart films with syrupy song,
only far away adventure excites,
a night panorama of grandest sights.

lined up tall to small —
tailored suit on middle child.
Brady Bunch dress on sisters.
the Hammond organ,
put together by our dad —
the masterpiece behind us.

my mind’s eye opens
the bench, practice chart on keys,
wiggle of toes and fingers.
i flip old pages
with eyes closed. I see the song:
Merrily...

Morey Mouse made merry,
Mollifying Mallory’s Mama,
Maybe mixing mammoth metaphors

Marvelously mystical, Marmaduke mimed
mingling, meshing, ‘mogrifying magical mites,
Measuring muskrats minding miniature minnows

Meddlesome merrymakers, Mr. Mumbsly mentioned, miffed.
Mesmerized minions made millions, merely making mincemeat.
Mediocre maybe, magnificent Mrs. Mumps meticulously mentioned....

Comical how the squirrels are frolicking
In the leaves that have covered the ground
At least a dozen of them merrily rollicking
Nipping and chasing each other all around
Their eager playfulness is so astonishing.

The night was dark yet cheerful
With a trip down the memory lane
Memories so gloomy yet blissful
Embracing the subdued heart's pain


It began as an effort for relief
And our tears started to flow 
As we spoke our heart's grief
A bond transpire like winter snow


It was a night...
