Digging Poems

Digging Deep

My dreams are bigger than my talent
The mission warned us against females
Women should be sure 
It was understood that the withdrawal 
from the competition, it is overlooked
 It is morning on a gray day, and mist clings
to our old bodies that smell of time
spent in the underbelly of society 
We lost the cruel war to be the

Mindfulness

Woke up this morning
come to find
can’t recall a thing at all
really think I’ve lost my mind
after sleep digging deep
to collect my thoughts
and what I recollect
amounts to naught
insufficient hard drive RAM
my memory is shot
what I remember as best I can
is not a lot it's diddley-squat
it's failing me
old age is what's ailing me
and yet will I forget
such

Digging Into the Earth

Digging Into The Earth 
Toil with your own hands 
Become an architect 
Live on your own land 
Waking up early morning 
Making progress gradually 
Digging into the earth 
A sentimental foundation 
I don’t need expensive luxury 
Escape from civilization 
Living on my own 
Remain simple 
Each layer becomes completed 
Humble and content 
A small slanted

Just keep digging
Keeping busy
Going deeper
Until the memories fade away

Just keep digging
Deeper still
Lower and lower 
Convinced you can run away

Just keep digging
Until you find
The sudden truth
Her face will never go away

Digging for Daylight

This utter silence is stone cold
There's no gaze upon the sinner
This hell has got a wicked hold
And it feels just like a winter

When I fought the darkest demons
I just fought them empty-handed
I pushed through all doubt and reason
And I nearly couldn't bear it

Why would you still demand of me
To bend my shattered knee again
Without attending

Digging or Gold

When you have money
the world stops to listen
The content no matter
gratuity bound

The dollars indulgent
as charlatans glisten
Self-interest the mantra
— with greed to compound

Digging Graves Circa 1955

No mechanical diggers digging
Standard oblong shaped holes
The only effort needed being 
To manipulate the controls.
We dug our graves by hand
And the sweat of our brow
A craft that seems outdated
And no longer any use now.

Each grave was dug to
An Individual coffin’s shape
With an allowance made for
The handles and the rope
No deviation of the sides by
Even the

Digging my own grave synonymous with a sense of accomplishment

Digging my own grave synonymous with a sense of accomplishment

Quite an undertaking
to break ground
figuratively, and symbolically linkedin
while able bodied and mindedness
readies cemetery plot within Elysian Fields
although honestly, and truthfully
as an organ donor,
yours truly opts for cremation
once I, the corporeal constituent essence
that constitutes breadth,
height, length, et cetera
of one garden variety generic guy,
whose introspective consciousness
once exits these

Gold Diggers in Danger
When gold digging beware of those wild dogs
Who hide behind Hindu statues of Gods
If you look away, I’m sorry to say
You’ll be jumping around like leaping frogs.

Beware of those dogs also hogs and bees
Bees will sting
