Long An earful Poems

I've held some stuff inside for too long but this is my open letter 
I could be okay by myself, but I'd rather us be broken together
I want to mend the pieces of your heart...

These thoughts.

 

These thoughts, within my head.

 

Must they fill me with this dread? 



Angry, distant, always resistant.

 

Tired, weary, and so dreary.

 

Loathsome, fearful, oh so tearful.

 

Always these thoughts, these thoughts within my...

Who likes to eat and eat, that’s why he’s fat,
Jon his companion, Garfield’s friend or foe dude,
On call twenty four seven, to give Garfield food!
The world knows their love hate...

That old faucet leaks. 
Done so for many a year. 
I let it drip in that bowl, 
birds; chipmunks; squirrel and other 
critters come here for a drink. 

This here tree out front? 
Wife and...

"Man On the Corner"
Timing his loitering for the lunch time bustle
He picks up his tempo to mere acquiescence  
Passing by without condescension or anything at all
Hooligans steal an earful on the way to their...

A flood of grackles,
black-leafing the tree
who seem to’ve forgot
that its not
Winter;
it’s Spring and everything
is about to flower.

Eva says they are starling
and they may be.
She says they crowd the uncrowded 
barebranch trees and blot out
the sun...

Sue doesn’t sit so demurely in her motorised wheelchair.
She’ll tell folks to stop gawking as it's very rude to stare!
Beneath her tenuous frame is quite a formidable young girl,
born with brittle bones but in her...

She's so into herself, she'd never see
a marching band in front of her on the street.
He won't even look at me.
She drives me crazy as her mouth runs free
like scalding water all over me
and they...

Good day, Sun;
so nice to see you.
At my age, despite 
what odds I give I 
can't get anyone to bet, 
all wagering off, as to 
whether, the following
morning, I will be earth-side
or aloft?

Good morning, Sun,
you're...

Off the top of my head
and in a blink of an eye,
wanted to write a poem
that was on the tip of my tongue,

Meantime was having a brain fart
and pulling my hair out,
didn't want to sound...

She was young, I was old.
She was easy, information gold.
No she did not have a contract yet.
But she knew her school – Eastside Prep.

Had met her principal, he’d paid her way
For the conference where we’d...

Anger in your eyes
Hate in your words
Yet these words fly by
My unsupecting ears
You yearn to hear
Me cry and see tears
Yet I won't let my fears
Show through my character
And countless times after
You would aplogize and come...

Attuned the labyrinths till full,
Amidst the harmony compare,
Blessed miracle, a pocketful,
Righteous heart, commit to prayer.

We stand as one to justify,
Attuned the labyrinths till full,
Admittedly, will pacify,
Rambunctiousness stills each mouthful.

We stead ourselves a sweet spoonful,
That cleanse...

Not always cheerful,
Sometimes sorrowful, 
Sometimes delightful.

Sometimes hurtful,
Sometimes regretful,
Sometimes beautiful.

Sometimes disrespectful,
Sometimes respectful,
Sometimes wonderful.

Sometimes bashful, 
Sometimes resentful,
Sometimes playful.

Sometimes forgetful,
Sometimes wishful,
Sometimes thoughtful.

Sometimes getting an earful,
Sometimes doubtful,
Sometimes colorful.

Sometimes prayerful,
Sometimes eventful,
Sometimes uneventful.

Sometimes tearful,
Sometimes fretful,
Sometimes careful.

Sometimes fearful,
Sometimes painful,
Sometimes artful.

Always plentiful,
Always thankful,
Always...

The happy nest
inspires; expires.
Chirping papa
sends his regards
with memories -

flying solo,
of his marriage;
and the mundane -
the bills and chores.

Listening aids
one left behind.
I incline to
get an earful.

I learn the ropes.
I see him smile.
Mourning’s over.
Gets on with life.

He’d...

Saving yourself seems like the likely thing to do when all of your turmoil comes to fruition
Sitting alone in your Fruit of the Looms enjoying a midnight's poor choice keeping your sanity within an arm's...
