Goodbye Poems

The sun awakes each early morn
Bright sky glows its colors adorn
Nothing but jeans tattered and torn
Miracle of life a child born
	How come I wonder

Fly in formation at high noon
Birds band together sing a tune
Scent of lilac come early June
Summer breezes...Read More

 The Moon
(not made of cheese)
 
Space "cadet", 
what a wonderful word 
that means a student of the stars. 
I gaze up into the heavens, 
knowing God is ever close to me, 
here or there, I am still, 
with...Read More

We sit silently in the crematorium

You are in a box, a large spray of white lilies placed on top

I hold my breath for to say goodbye is too much

How will I cope with such a loss?

I reason with my self,...Read More

tryptophan fills my veins,
lost in lingering lullabies-

i sort out what used to be mine
he was enchanting with evocative eyes,
feverish in tantalizing touches;
a fraction of forgiveness without
atonement made me weak-
and i am left
BREATHLESS

but

i am placid and quiescent,
yet
frenzied and unrestrained-
i prosper in...Read More

Singing birds emerging.
Pretty flowers are blooming.
Rabbits are hopping.
In spring things start living.
Nests of eggs are cracking.
Gardens are now growing.

No more poetry,
say it's not so.
How do I live not writing any more, 
no more words and stories to express.
No more rhymes,
to pass my time.
How about acrostic,
running down the side.
Free verse loved by all,
it is now all gone.
No more poetry,...Read More

The end 
It took along time to make sense of it, 
runaway problems sitting duck intensive,
the life it sucked, 
I never believed all areas of my life could turn on me 
while no one would do what right, 
alone all...Read More

TRAPPED

I can’t move on, I am held by your jealousy and by my purse
You all fear my happiness, so I am putting it down into verse

I know you are trolling me it just your way of keeping control
I keep breaking...Read More

Brighter than the stars at night


Nature is colour, the vastness of space, 
The roll of the thunder, the streams gentle waves.
Goodbye fellow being, be gone to the lost.
Cut down by life, we are still counting the cost,
And we may never...Read More

Crushed by WII
Brutal arms of Japan
Father in prison
Brother in heaven
But I marched on

Crushed by Korean War
Brutal arms of North
Goodbye, Father
See you in heaven
But I marched on

Crushed by hunger
Refugee in an island
Fish swam all around
No net to catch 
But I marched...Read More

First steps on crisp new snow,
Flakes dancing with sparkle and glow,
Vibrations rising from the toes,
Through the body to the soul.
Snow clad trees, strength they lend,
To the weight as they bend,
Creating tunnels, spectacular view,
Over untreaded paths, guiding you.
To the perfect place,in...Read More

You, my Dad, And Me**

Giggles can be heard if I close my eyes and think,
A cute little girl, who still loves the colour pink.

Swings and roundabouts, running from one to the other,
Cheeks all a flush
Holding on tight, the hands of...Read More

I often sit and wonder what's on your mind. In fact that's what I do most of the time. I'm drawn to you like a moth to a flame. I've enjoyed pleasure but I've also endured pain. I've waited on...Read More

she came from the town of keokuk
  for what she did, she charged a buck 
    or sometimes two;
everyone said she was an evil gal,
but she changed my luck,
  that evil gal from keokuk!

In denial is a serious sickness
Watching every move I make
Simply because a word has been uttered to me
A minute time passed
With the hope that nothing has changed
How delusional of me
To have believed in an unknown situation
To have been sacred
Simply because...Read More

Some say I'm a daydreamer
Someday, I will get better; whatever weather...
Someday, I will be...with you forever
Some say never, but never say never

I've been drifting like a feather in the sky these days
I've been wandering in many ways…
I sway today, today

Straight out of Basildon

Depeche Mode 101

Never let me down

Behind my wheel

My Home

The Sound of my Universe

Better live than on the record

Searching for Free Love

No second chance 

No strings attached

Just in love

John the revelator

Love thief

Master and Servant

Halo , Clean

Alone

Goodbye

Let not the church, nor the people, 
Let not the songs, nor the steeple. 
Cause my firm faith or love to flee, 
For my spirit remains in thee. 

As I look up, to azure skies, 
Or listen to the birds...Read More

Gretel and Hansel were given 
A seven 
But they did not know why 
Since they did not lie 

They decided to be Titans 
At the time of this writing 
Venturing into the forest 
Just like the television commercial cat Morris...Read More

aimlessly afloat on maple leaves
caught in the sky, 
the abstract fear of heights began
telling time a lie-
the grains of sand caught in glass
began to melt,
my right hand fought hard to grasp
what your heart felt

o’er the mount in front of the...Read More

The country, people, and the village,
All equal, as if, for the first time, 
All of that gave a fresher image,
Nay, 'tis but a relative vantage.
Save fresh road, to its left bears a sign.

"A few more feet and we will be...Read More

Boots that fit one last time 
My hands to give for you to warm
Songs to play the choice we made
Steps so slow to hold the love you gave 

Silence of room crowds of eyes
Doors of pain voices of verse
Hands to...Read More
