Best Rest Your Weary Bones Poems

Lay me down in clover
There I'll set my spirit free
To bask in memories of my youth
When life was still carefree
Where dreams of old still hover
With the bees and butterflies
And days of long ago are etched
in cloudless summer skies

Let me smell the color green
How cool against...

Bed how I love thee
Let me count the ways ….

Always ready when I am sleepy
And in need to rest my weary bones 
You keep me warm and cosy
Are the best company when l feel alone

You comfort me when I am unwell
Help me to mend and...

I cry yet do not weep
The remnants of my pillaged decaying heart
Lay in the putrid  foul gutter deep
Beneath your feet
Cursed at birth wounded throughout life
Feeling the hurt of countless stabbing knifes
A mere puppet torn this way and that
Deflated emancipated buried
Feeling lost lonely and crap
So...

Looking out upon my garden on spring morning 
dew on grass, new shoots appearing natures best 
daffodils, tulips, primrose, beautiful new life dawning 
pollinators emerge collecting pollen after winter rest 
evergreens coordinate with shade loving flowers 
finding shelter in herbaceous borders, glorious 
thoughts, aromas, wildlife...

Dear old Santa Claus was about to go out of his mind!
'Twas nigh Christmas Eve and his schedule was way behind!
His lazy elves had let him down and didn't complete their work;
His sleigh needed serious repair and his reindeer were going berserk!

Missus Claus nagged him...

Flowers on the grave

I walk in the rain 
with you old friend
Burning in the cold
Where  have you been 

Can't you believe
I'm drowning inside
Flowers on your grave
Darkened  blown away 

Is this a dream, Is this a dream
You standing here
Shadows from the sun 
Only one...

There were many ingenious things that helped win World War Two.
Jeeps, Higgins Boats and Victory Ships just to name a few.
Other things were vital such as radar, C-rations and wrenches,
But the ungainly steel helmet won favor with guys in the trenches!

Though the soldier always tried...

The air is being sucked out of my lungs

My head is bombarded by a thousand shards of 
glass

There is no refuge to rest my weary bones

The angst of my supposedly beloved is fuelling my 
anxiety

In my mind my only rest exist underneath the 
ground

I have...

Can the rain wash away my sin, Oh Lord  Oh Lord
Can the rain wash away my sin,  Oh Lord Oh Lord
Can the rain wash away my sin, please Lord take me Home

Can the wine quench my thirst,  Oh Lord Oh Lord
Can the...

Night has fallen...

Time to rest our weary bones --
Through the midnight window
A full moon smiles and winks
Throws at us its goodnight kiss

Gratitude befalls our sleepy eyes
Gently to your back I press my cheek
Wrap my arms around your shoulders
As I listen to the rhythm of your...

When I was young and vibrant I had so many friends
Some of them told me they'd be with me to the end
Now I'm old and feeble; my hair is full of gray
How I could use those friends right now
As in my younger days
Some people say...

A songbird lifts my spirits
As I look towards the sky.
And spot a cloud that floats along
With a peculiar shape to catch my eye.

But I'm shaken from this tranquil gaze
As a young lady weeps and moans.
And in her grief, I find some relief...
As no one likes...

Thunder In My Faithful Heart


How dare the God of Thunder to strike
this mountain top I so happily rest
Has he no fear of my greatest dislike
of disturbing me while at my best?

Behold! A spirit that strikes him back
A defiance of his mad arrogant power
He dares launch...
