She craves the Likes
With those comments so much
It’s proof there are some souls
She’s been able to touch

So she writes in the morning
well into the night
Trying to find that magic
to reveal her inner light

Yes poetry is her drug
a place that seems so real
Her world without borders
where...

Leave me now love, if you would not grow old.
Memory will keep your beauty on hold
For autumn afternoons when leaves turn gold
And on wintry eves when the days are cold.

Years will drift by like clouds upon the wind,
Painting the dappled landscape of my mind
With visions...

Such sweet little wildflowers
Shades varied in tones of blue
Growing along stream's bower
Softly kissed by morning dew.

Near such stream, a besotted knight
Walked with his lovely fair maiden
In suit of armor, he met his plight
In his hand, forget-me-nots laden.

Legend has it he fell in the river
Still holding...

No desperate lover wants a fleur
with one too many loves-me-nots.
Should ever such a fleur occur,
be everything but soft with her.

Be sure to tell her just how mad
you were with her result,
and how the extra loves-me-not
could not have been love's fault.

That flower was not just to...

Such wondrous things that come to you from travels far and wide.
Trinkets and knick knacks you keep somewhat near at hand, and never too far from your side.

Throughout life's journeys You'll check on them for fear they'll be left behind.
Being of meaningful purpose; that's remembered...

Forget-Me-Nots

Across the field, I trampled a path,
When I held back and marvelled to see,
Near the babbling brook beneath the trees,
A sea of blue of scorpion grass:
Tiny blooms asway in waves of glee,
Of forget-me-nots, and thirsty bees.

From end to end, as far as I could see,
In...

In life there are those haves and those who have not
We are told there will always be poor people in life
Yet poverty causes me so much strife
In life.

I hate being so poor
I cannot take it any more
There has to be success in store.

I see the...

I stood in the midst of a meadow, 
as an autumn breeze swayed its flaxen hair. 
The last  flush of sun was giving way 
to a peach blossoming evening sky, 
readying the day to lay and replenish,
beneath the strokes of night.

As it unfolded around...

Look again
Towards the breadbasket of civilization 

They hold up a mirror
To our own looming confrontation

Upon the beautiful shores of Greece
Comes a class warfare that has divided the cultural peace

Forced down his throat the Noble Greek will not swallow
The European Austerity Plan he's expected to follow...

Splicing up time, a reflection did appear.
Cross my heart stick a needle in my eye.
These things I saw before us, you and I.
I tell you the truth, and I will pinky swear.

Your great lusts will be leveled in despair.
You will watch and witness a greater...

where do I set my bags
I believe I am dizzy from all this jet lag
passed through gas like smoke coming out of a train
I need a chair to sit down I may go insane

pass out from all the exposure of this transition
crossing the Pacific Ocean...

I
lie here
in mourning
exposed by dawn
Spring’s forget-me-nots 
wither and wane
like dwindling 
dreams of
you

I know not what knot will not unknot,
I know not why that knot won’t loose.
So if you know what knot won’t unknot,
Show me how to tie my shoes....
