Eager Poems

By Your Bedside

I am dying to be by you, at your bedside
Mon amour, I yearn every second to be by your side
To soothe the pain, to give you a good massage
To mesmerize you and to send the right message
To your body, to your soul and to your enduring heart
Darling, going forward, you and I should never be

full of eager happiness

I am full of eager happiness
Retirement has grabbed me by the hands and danced with me

Every day is a joy
I can do what I want, when I want
I have eliminated all of the have-to’s,
My life is full of have-tos.

The worst part of my job had been the drive to and from.
I retired six months ago.

Eager Bard Imbued Part Two

Lemon tinted phase
gilded skyline blown
by ethereal fused mist 
eager bard imbued 
opal dream flotilla  
beyond tarnish while
flash point chariots 
of gleam-well canvass
astir or astern perforce 
taunt a hued vase 
porcelain image fest
for staunch earthbound 
soul’s cry parched 
stricken migrant famish 
sapphire plume ray
bounty veridical
pink chalk sketch
granule blush pots
pearl beam spur 
to jumpy pilgrim

Inspired

Eager to give my heart, stirred by light, autumn’s soul, 
the beauty in each star, reflecting life.

Excited

Enthusiastic because all my dreams, hopes, needs – everything I’ve ever imagined could be… is now reality

What Music Is That Which Soothes Eager Soul

What Music Is That Which Soothes Eager Soul

What music is that cheers the eager heart
Whereas I can find none on any star chart
Nor shadow of which behind resting sun
Waits night and its roaring of battle guns
And prayers uttered by dying men
Pales chasm between sainthood and ones sin
Hold the thought, that human life is much more
Than

Too Eager To Ride Fireflies

Yesterday, the Undines had a boring day;
their last, they insist.
The things happening to the world,
are terrifying, to say the least;
when water sprites
become bored
with their aquatic home.

It seems their present preference,
is all too different, 
they’d rather fly than float.

Titania, queen of the water faeries,
was most despondent when their revelation,
descended upon her elemental ears.
“Such madness,” cried she,
“It’s

Eager Thoughts

Frozen apple drops, 
take a bite it’s a fresh start; 
Eager thoughts pristine.

When the Twig Snaps

Brittle and broken, the eucalyptus snaps loudest.
Pulverized by constant wear
of boots on dusty trails.
Debris of lifeless memories
detached from vital source,
scattered broken on apathetic earth,
pummeled by the passerby.
A lifetime of transforming sunlight obliterated
in the spiraling downward dance of fall,
to publicly mourn its own demise
at the foot of the future,
blooming green and leafy in the sun.

Life starts

Like Children

Icy blue were his eyes;
Fingertips gentle and silken. 
Soft, soft were his sighs. 
We played the game like children.

Strong were his arms, shoulders wide. 
He drew my trembling to him. 
Eager lips were my guide
And we played the game like children.

I pulled away, a little aside,
Seeking my flavors to tell him.
With a silent touch to

Eager For the Meager

Any guy who is dead eager
To work for wages quite meager 
Is contented with plans to save:
A belief he won’t at last rave;
Sure of Rice and Beans for breakfast:
Sure means of paying for them fast.
But then Food, Shelter and Clothing
Plus nothing else still breed Loathing:
What If Hospital Bill high charge
Or Dad’s Family pretty large?
What If
