When Poetry Eludes My Soul
poetry eludes my soul
when I desperately want to embrace it
when I watch dahlias blossom and dance in the wind
poetry glowing in my mind dances too
when at tranquil dawn idly lying in bed
I listen to pitter-patter of falling raindrops
when sun-god appears on his chariot driven by seven horses
illuminate horizon turning sky

Nemesis Bird Eludes Twitcher
Nemesis bird eludes twitcher
That darn wanton bird
magically escapes my gaze!
'Tis a supernatural curse
that keeps it unreached.

Happiness Eludes You
Happiness eludes you when you are lonely,
overcome by depression and self-pity.
You want to fit into your new life, except,
you're all alone in an uncaring city.
You miss all the friends you had to leave behind,
aware that, like treasures, friends are hard to find.
And the emptiness in your heart grows each day,
yet hope assures you that those

Time Eludes Me
It’s true that time waits for no man,
It certainly manages to elude me ...
One minute things look way off in the future,
The next they are out of reach in the past,
When you think that it’s passing slowly,
You’ll find, that it’s actually travelling fast.

Sleep Eludes Me
Sleep eludes me
I am in manic mode
Writing Typing Dashing Flying
I will not stop until I hit a wall
And then I will not stop
I will go through it.
Laughing loudly
Clearly not full tilt yet
But knowing it is coming
Meds are here somewhere
I do not think they will kick in anyway
They take awhile
I am running dashing, twirling,

So Lost, Light Temporarily Eludes
So Lost, Light Temporarily Eludes
Once a man lost saw nothing but a stone wall
misery and blues ever since his great fall
So lost that the stars failed to shine
so blue he could not walk a straight line
Soon began to share his misery and self hate
blamed his torment on life and dark fate
Dark spirit

Winning Eludes the Black Widow
I joyfully married the love of my life
Sweet John died when I was only twenty-four
But I guess God wanted to add some more strife
When my fiancé drowned; I could take no more
Like a black widow I spin a deadly web
And those who approach me had better watch out
Even friends have died: Chris, Jeanette and Caleb
Stay

Sleep Eludes Me
sleep eludes me
this cold spring night
cats meowling just before light of dawn
I set outside in m dark heavy sweater
the air is cold and damp the dark clings as I walk the yard
restless I think of a proper walk
instead I stand in the yard
listening
