Long Come to the fore Poems

22.
Love is divine, never a chore, 
love, the sentiment we adore, 
our passion has come to the fore,
Now, we shall open love’s floodgate, 
love divine we shall consecrate, 
we walk slowly, the time is late.

Come,...

'Helpless' is an adjective I never thought
my hand would write to describe the despair
that's wound its way deep inside my heart.
Honestly, I'm only the catalyst of my own life,
the taproot that strengthens my mindset,
my cornerstone,...

We hear the engine whistle 
The hissing of the steam 
The hairs on our necks begin to bristle 
As we meet the arrival of a dream 
We didn't think we had a chance of winning...

If you throw like a girl is it because you’re a girl
Or because the boy is more practiced?
And if you do practice, if you do care enough
If he throws a ball harder is it because...

Her head she turned round with lips full, luscious and teeth oh so white

In a cloudy dark night I lay restless,
My dreams speak my heart out, so I am afraid to sleep,
Because when I sleep I know the things in my heart would come to the fore, to...

There once was a robin who flew
somewhat strangely down my chimney flue.
When I asked if she missed
due to morn's heavy mist,
she said, "That, plus I'm fighting the flu".

Unhappy with how much I weigh,
for a long...

As I lay me down to sleep.
Off to dream land without a peep.
Magic seems to fill the air.
As I dream that I am there.
Never have I seen such a place before.
As magical creatures come to...

Dead man
in a recliner
The father I love,
Gone to meet,
His Maker above

Grizzly sight,
Face contorted in pain.
A scene I hope
To never witness again

6PM "Popeye" cartoons,
Rush to greet Dad,
Now dead in the recliner
The only father I've ever had

Pizzas...

Come cover me with taffeta blue and and my cello's hue
and let the warmth rub onto you
when they join the cotton of my handkerchief
Nature's discards in their pure state are put to good use

I love...

To the Nameless Soldier

Your orders may come now...

...or at 19h45 this evening.

'Shoot to kill'
'Engage the enemy'
'Hold the line'
'Break up the gathering'

'Ready, aim, fire'

but you have felt too

the stab of hunger
the bite of thirst
the bayonet of...

The time for that change has come to the fore,
When we put away stuff to make room for more.
Ornaments that all year had held sway,
Are now boxed up and safely hidden away.
Our Grandson is coming...

Come cover me with taffeta blue
let the shine rub onto you
when joined with cotton the feel becomes joy
in its pure state

when I speak with my cello silence prevails

Get me out of my head, it's getting tight and cramped in here 
A sought solution for remorse and unexplainable fear. 
Thoughts interwoven with sadness come to the fore 
As the brain tries to compute...

As I come to the end of the year
it's always good to take a look back
see the ups, the downs and their effects
learn from mistakes to get off the rack

Many lovely holidays we did enjoy

She’s like a boor or a yokel
who knows no boundaries
such a pain in the neck
that makes others suffer.

Her ways is irritating,
like in many instances
where collaboration entails
either at work or in any human endeavor.

She continues to...

Life is an eternal ecstasy
Flowering as ripe old age 
Liabilities over, shorn of shackles
Confined to oneself  and free to peep into
Fads and foibles lying dormant for decades
The wisdom at its best, with the strings...

We have become so much more than we were before.
What started as a brief encounter , 
has become an important part of who we are.
Dialogue is ever shifting,
nothing is too personal to say.
Our deepest thoughts,

What else one could aspire for
More than a world without war?
We’ve seen many wars before…
And lost countless lives heretofore.
Against wars if you want to fight for,
With open hearts come to the fore.
If you want them...

While waiting for the time to leave for school
where I’ve been asked to hear confessions,
I can feel that God’s presence leads me,
makes me aware that he’s with me.

I would say it’s an inward gift,
that God...

Hear the untold song we sing at any cost,
Though the crowd may laugh and children, jeer:
Through the parting clouds, lascivious angels leer,
Till a fall from heaven spells their holocaust.
Sing the unsung tale of dirty angels...

Midst the twilight of wakefulness and sleep
Our minds meander to places shallow and deep.

They visit domains that while awake we won't go
Depicting ourselves when old, feeble, and slow.

But in only a dozen deepening breaths more

For they feed upon our food crops galore.       
And invade all our homes by...

Caged Beast

Thoughtful and logical mind now becomes primeval, unruly and savage
Anger and hatred in every thought come to the fore
Life you betrayed me, I don’t need you anymore
Don’t enter my domain, don’t stare at me,...
