Premium MemberFathers Day

Fathers,
You learn from them,
For better or for worse.
How to be, or not to be,a husband.
How to be or not to be a parent when it's
your turn.

There are no books, holy or otherwise.
And religion is all but useless,
It has no moral compass
Holy images on walls,stautes,moving or mute
Never,kept a mother or wife safe in her home.
Respect is  basic instinct
One either has,or, hasn't got.

' He'll be on his own yet,'
My mother  often exclaimed.
When there was nothing else left to say.
And true to her word;he died alone.
The dark cloud lifted,the light broke through.
The voilens played
The mad lady sang.
And I danced around the grave.


Premium MemberIn An Instant

In an instant,
one or more lives can be changed forever.
A car crosses the road,
now headed for a pick-up truck.
The driver, husband and father to be,
lies dead on the road.
The wife and mother to be will some how survive,
but will never be the same.
The unborn baby will also survive,
their lives will be changed forever.
Their loving mother will make hard choices,
this precious little one will be adopted out.
All three lives have been changed forever,
just one person caused all this pain.

Premium MemberCold Feet

I’m afraid my feet are now cold 
On an idea I was once sold
To be wife for life to smile and cry
With days and nights bound by ring of gold

I don’t want to be a sex slave
Little more than a breeder and maid
To lose my father’s name for a harder husband’s gain
My independence will surely fade to gray

Premium Member3D Glasses


I see you
Now stuck in two dimensions 
They sit you up
They lie you down
Semi vertical
Fully horizontal

Yet, I have the coloured lenses 
Of memory
They don't know the man I can see;
Cycling, dancing, singing
Living a fully rounded vibrant life
Kind and gentle

Father, husband, friend
Grandpa, colleague, leader
Teacher, wise councillor
Bright and beautiful 
All things
Now hidden 

Under thin grey sheets
A cruel captive
Pencil sketched in
Monochrome 
A palliative prisoner

Yet, we celebrate 
A vibrant life of joy
A legacy of light and love
A space that will never quite be filled 
Except with colour

Premium MemberMeadow Plays Bluegrass

Meadow was born out of a long line of fiddlers
Her bluegrass roots showed out without apology
We were tapping our feet after the first three notes
Songbirds hovered close, to get a better seat.

She’s a Williams all right, Old Grandma Williams said.
This is her Hatchet roots showing through said Aunt Hatchet.
Their feud was well-known in the Tennessee Valley.
After Williams’ first husband ran off with Aunt Hatchet.

Premium MemberMy Daughter

she crossed my threshold and went to his house,
my only daughter, wed and his dear spouse,
a girl once, a beautiful woman now,
history is witness to fresh new love,
said “he is my husband, I love him so”,
but daddy, I will never let you go!”

Premium MemberA Father and Husband Remembered

Our father has passed from this life
He cared about his children and his wife
He was sometimes, not so understanding
He was a person that was demanding

Guiding his family with a firm hand
The lessons learned, made me a better man
In our lives, our father was the example
My siblings and I, thankful for the sample

Our father was a man with beliefs
In this time of mourning, don't have grief
Beloved by manyfor seventy-eight years
Though he'll be missed, don't shed tears

Dedicated to Floyd Lee Neal Sr.
February 17, 1919 - April 13, 1997

From high a silent body fell,
     another...then...another.
Someone's father...someone's
mother...husband...grandpa...
     sister...brother.

They fell into the clouds
     that day
caught by angels on 
     their way.
Can our tears be also
     caught
to cement love what hate
     has wrought?

A cloud of dust, and they
     were gone.
A summer's day, a bitter
     song.
We became those who
     were lost,
brothers, sisters, differences
     tossed.

Now, twenty years along
     the road,
both good and bad have
     been bestowed.
We've learned some things
     from that sad day
we can find each other
     but a smile away.

Father, dear Father
Second Father, earthy one
In thanksgivings, I’m thanks giving
Glad you were my dad

I thank you for always
Co-providing
Always being present

A Veteran
A small gentle man
A married man to one woman

A husband spouse
A Father
Father, dear Father
Second Father, earthy one
In thanksgivings, I’m thanks giving
Glad you were my dad

On this warm September day
I am ever so thank-full this day
Thanksgiving, thanksgivings to you,

Premium MemberWatching the Sharks

I know it is my wedding day
but I need to study the sharks a bit longer
Her mother left her then.
Her sister kept harping for a bit
Eventually wandering away too

What am I getting into? She asked the sharks.
Is he a good man, or will the evil side come out?
She had a friend whose husband turned into an abuser
The sharks swam past at a leisurely pace

She stood there for a long time, communing 
They answered her in the best way they could.
I am ready, she told her father. 
Are we going up the aisle or out the back door? He asked.
She loved him so, he knew her better than all the others.

Premium MemberMelodies of Life

Free as a mockingbird singing

No kids in sight and unmarried

Had one husband, but now none

Colleges broaden my horizon

Learning about the world

Heartache and heartbreak

Lost in the frenzy of despair

To death and grief

Lost the grip of my father's clasped hand

Visualizing roses tossed in the air

High School graduation day

Drawing pictures in the IRS building

Clasping my father's hand firmly

It's take your daughter to work day

Ears clear with clarity

As my mother sings me to sleep

A horizon of toys block my view

In my cradle fast asleep

Premium MemberBio Modified Aries Ram

Aries
husband, father, doctor, and cricketer,
Lover of poetry, photography, music, 
in a World divided by arrogance, ignorance and greed!
Dream of a world without borders, of happy children without starvation,
I fear world is consumed by prejudice, selfishness and lacks wisdom,
I am a devote friend, a romantic lover, a committed dad,
My magic wand would sprinkle happiness to all, smash grief like a battering
Ram!
