Goodbye my little August
Of 2025
I’ve loved you, to be honest
Much better than July
But now September’s on the verge
And we both have to go
For soon the autumn will emerge
Out of the cold wind’s blow
Though many autumns I have seen
And winters in their prime
I couldn’t imagine it would seem
Like a delayed goodbye
More nights, my darling, without you
More withered leaves at your back door
But memories remain like new
We've cared of this before.
It is morning, Darling, arise.
Donut with fries?
Coffee and me?
For now, I’m free.
Time to be silly, as moon fades.
Put on our shades.
Lay back in bed.
You're turning red.
It is morning. Open your eyes.
They make me sigh.
You’re rather hot.
Yes, my weak spot.
Over and over and over again
once more with feeling, my friend
Tell me you’ll love me forever and aye
‘til storm clouds disappear from the sky
Once more with feeling, my friend
over and over, time and again
Embrace me, my darling, don’t let me go
‘till fall turns to winter’s first snow
Over and over and over again
once more with feeling, as we ascend
To an altar of love, burning so bright
~ kindles the cosmos by night
Every morning I paint a pair of eyes
to see the world for me—
Mines scream at
the sky fracturing into neon glass.
The dazzling eyes I painted—
I use them to fit in
the crowd dancing in chemical haze
—reasons left out at the gate.
I use them to study
the rites of smoke
—to ghost myself in every exhale.
I use them to ignore
the judgmental stare
—that inner child I silenced, it's always her
No good can come from spoiling the fun—
Darling, just blind yourself.
My
dear wife,
heart of hearts,
there, your love lives.
In peace and with grace.
Come rainfall, come sunshine,
like moon and stars in the clouds.
Nothing else can replace your love.
For heavens, for earth, I'll still love you.
I pray that God will guide, guard, and keep us.
Let's flee from things that can keep us apart.
With God on our sides, we'll overcome.
Let's get involved with our full minds,
such that our hearts can love more.
Since hearts are meant for love,
we won't stop our love.
God on our side.
Till the end,
with love,
dear.
You and I have been friends for many moons
You and I have played together countless afternoons
Not to mention many mornings and many nights.
Since today is your birthday, I want to send you: kaleidoscopic lights
Multiple dancing rainbows of heaven, exotic flowers
And warm hugs and I’ll blow fresh new kisses from afar to your ears.
I called you my special darling for numerous reasons
I hoped our friendship would flourish through all seasons
Even though I am now disappointed, down and sad
And though we’re no longer committed to each other; I’m not mad.
No matter what, today is a special and beautiful day
For you and me. I’m very happy for you
In my heart, you will always have a niche, a stay
You will forever remain deep in my spleen and my soul.

It would be so nice to feel the warmth of your lips
Before you come to take me away from here
It hurts to admit, that the problem is
That you’ve left me too soon, my dearest dear
I’m not saying the spiritual world is all fictional
That its only subliminal thoughts and desires
People’s sensual visions appear to reveal
That true love is eternal, and so it inspires
To imagine a world of alternative kind
Where the lovers and friends are together again
What seems fictional, comes from the reality side
It’s a case of creation we can’t understand
But to believe in the things unattainable
Is an innate capacity of the human mind
What seems unreal can be real and available
Depends on how deeply we feel it inside
I know that it sounds complicated, my darling
But it has to be so without you in my day
I won’t miss your call the next time you’ll be calling
One night you will becon, and I won’t delay.
My life without you on my road.
It"s not life, it's a loss of direction
I d'ont know very well how
to live without your love...
I am a human trait, not a person,
lost in the human devastation...!
Without love I am almost nobody
Love is alike the green grass of home, in heart and mind where’er one may roam.
Quote - Poet’s own
Moonlight and roses remind me of you
Birdsong in the morning and sunshine too
The rain when it falls and soft winds that blow
All things are heightened upon the earth’s show
Love has changed everything, my darling beau.
It's time for me
To get you home
Darling please see.
It's getting dark
Fast walk we can
Warn there a lurk.
It seems we know
The path we walk
Will drive as through.
It's trees that loom
We see the roof
Of your sweet home.
27/7/2024.
Close to the 45th anniversary.
Still no idea where to go.
Should I leave it to fate?
The more I know you,
The bigger the gaps in every aspect.
Just like every body,
You could not keep your promises.
Well, I hate surprises,
What you did was as predicted.
In a way, it was OK,
But, somehow, I did not like any bit of it.
There were many reasons people do not want gift,
What were your excuses?
You hurt me unintentionally, but deeply, and carelessly.
I was hurt by your ignorance and inconsideration.
Were selfish, mean and cruel just to get back at me?
Were you consistent and full of confusion?
Not quite hypocrite, but close enough to it.
Knowing I have so much to share,
You did not even show you care.
A dauntless dachshund was my darling dog.
He was charmed to chase the cavorting frog.
He always ran and romped with great agility ,
For sniffing and smelling mice, he had a special ability.
He was rock black in shade and was very bold.
He stayed loyal and lively and never grew old.
His swaddling gait and swiveling move,
Brought much joy. From life, all boredom he did remove.
Safeguarded and shielded our home with a surveilling eye.
Lazily loitered with us under the lulling evening sky.
His sparkling starry eyes shone with joyful delight.
He sought snuggles and cuddles as if they were his right.
Sad, one day, our darling dachshund for ever departed.
Dropping his doggy duties, from us, he silently parted.
The memory of the magical moments he gave, merrily stays.
A faithful friend who gave us funny and festive days!
Two dazzling dainty darlings,
Delightful flowers on a tree,
Fancy pretence funny role-play,
Sing alluring songs, no worry!
Favourite choice playing house,
Invite friends to flavoured tea,
Decorative cups and pots as well,
Welcoming hosts, amazing to see!
Decked gracefully, embellished hair,
Blushing cheeks, gorgeous smile,
Angelic beauty of innocence,
Oh my, what a captivating style!

You'll always remain my darling butterfly
By Michelle Morris

The butterflies are everywhere
They remind me that you're near
They flutter and spread joyous colour
Flashes of light and blessings everywhere
And even though you're in Heaven now
You let me know that you love me
You send messages via Earth Angels
To comfort me and help my heart's healing
Maybe I'll never get over the loss
Maybe it's my burden to carry
But I thank God and His Angels every day
For the Love and Light that They're sending
It wraps me up and stills my racing mind
It reminds me of the gratitude we have for Life
You will always remain my darling butterfly
And we'll share our Angel wings together in time

getting a puppy has given me a new purpose
I am a mommy again
Renewed, refreshed, excited about life
I knew this is all it would take
Beau, the puppy, is thrilled to be here.
He tries to eat everything in sight,
so he is taking a lot of time.
But when I see him run flat out around the property
joy bouncing off of him like the world’s happiest clown
I know that I have given him a new purpose too.
I thank God for this darling every day!
