Best Months Poems

January brash and bold,
Brings the worst of winter's cold.
February's stay is brief,
Green sprouts showing some relief.

March may come in like a lamb
And soon become ferocious ram.
Changeling April flirts a bit
And well may have a stormy fit.

We revel in the days of May
And beg her to...

A Look Back at Eighteen Months Here-The Show is Over

When your poems reside in a shoe,
like mine,
pounding the pavement to nowhere.
The onset of blisters isn't imagined.
Those blisters take roots,
hindering your motivation
to move-
and to continue to write.
It hurts.
Seeing those poems take residence
in pity.
Sans the
comfort of
leather and...

my bottom lip with the hunger that resides in...

He rolled me over and kissed my dreams, his mouth became my salvation and I nailed myself

They quickly pass, the waning days more brief,
like love once shied beneath a garish moon,
expose the truths betrayed by Autumn's thief.
Infatuation always ends too soon ~
still tethered to the oak, a hopeful leaf...

I always feel like a prisoner in the winter, banished from the outside by the jealous wind. As I get older, I continue to make peace with the cold, but I follow the spring. It is a different door, one covered with vines and stars,...

     January, you remind me to close the door to yesteryear

"Suicide doesn't kill the pain-
it just passes it on to someone else"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

weeping from loss I emptied the ocean,
remembering each emotion
     abandoned by devotion-
sights unseen by nude eyes shine,
forgetting your dear heart is divine-
        ...

It took only two seconds to realise what would become 
A friendship.
Only if it could have lasted.
It seemed we couldn't be separated,
Everyday we spent together.
Then
I fell for you
But, 
You asked of her.
Jealousy fell upon me.
Words were then spoken, 
Thats when everything ended.

It wasn't suppose...

Only six months 'til Christmas...
Yes, just six months to go- 
I'd best start making lists, 
Buying bottles for' ‘rellies' who like to get pissed
And scouring for bargains at Tesco.

Only six months since the last one 
And I've just finished paying the bills-
The credit card's clear...

Length of days begins to wane, twilight quickens 
and moonlight obeys the seasonal call of nature.
The time is half past summer, two months till fall
and the warm splayed fingers of sunlight's heat 
are reaching for the zenith of their time to reign.
Soon, night will darken...

The leaves have not yet begun to turn the bright colors of autumn,
but night air is chill as if it knows you have gone from my life;
gone with the warmth of summer; leaving my life lackluster....

There's twelve months for a lifetime...
in all given years,
As days and night times..
shall always appear,

The first three months...
could bring us rain, sleet or snow,
January, February and March,
they come and they go,

Showers, warm weather,
come with April, May and June,
with springtime weather...
bringing summer in full bloom,

Then July,...

Bleak February,
masquerading as the month of love,
though no redeeming qualities are born in you.

No purple berry
nor fuchsia flower blooming brightly,
just sighing earth between pale moons of snow.

The garden fairy
sleeps undisturbed in frozen blankets,
waiting for sweet robins to awaken her.

Heavy to carry,
this dreary pause in changing...
