Long Concierge Poems

I must report the passing of a dear old friend today
I'm not sure when it happened, but I felt I had to say
That the Vegas that's in movies, books, and on TV
Is not the one...

A pure Hawaiian of rare birth,
living a life somewhat carefree,
fed farm animals by this squirt,
sticks and stones were real toys indeed,
set trash ablaze, be on alert,
a barefoot country kid, that's me,
a runner on trails made...

When I woke up early and rose up with the lark,
I was up so darned early, skies remained dark,
But being happy I rose up to greet the new day,
So after my breakfast I was soon...

Arabella’s 18th birthday
Darling granddaughter of mine
A special treat
A unique ‘do’
A celebration for just us two
At a perfect place I knew

Board a train to the metropolis
hail a cab through London’s streets
we approach our destination
and our excitement...

The Heraclee sky was a lurid, neon blue but the morning was surprisingly cool (at 54°). The antemeridian sun managed to cast sharp, surreal, black-hole shadows, giving the world a baroque art look, as if...

White Cliffs of Dover now sponsored in daydreams
Reading each billboard that rusts on the sky
Checking a map though it’s for the wrong city
She sends a smile to the wink of his eye

Overhead cords hang to...

It was you from the moment I seen you.
I knew in my heart I would be the one to rescue you, but in the end you ended up saving me.
I see in your eyes the...

Mental Trigger 
inside your mind is a set of rules, made to be trigged deep inside of you~

You hear about holidays that people hate
Rarely of exotic taste, finding the better fare, 
Cheap enough for travel agents to promote
Such resorts which they advertise with flair.
A visa to start will set your mind at...

And if ever by some magic I were the Minister of Housing Development
I'd make it my life-long mission by swearing upon...

Upon entering the hotel she felt a shiver go down her spine 
the carpet seemed stained by something that looked like wine
He cleared his throat then with two spindly fingers passed her 
an old rusted...

I'll remember the museums
And the fine historic homes.
There's been mention of both music
And parade within my poems.

But it really is the people
That will stick inside my brain,
For connections, even brief ones,
Are the gems that I'll...

my mind is else where
distracted
a misplaced focus.
this happens when you're plate is full.
when you care for someone who is ill
life stop's.
those individual things like future plans
goals
dreams
happiness
wishes
all change.
it's all about the person you are caring for.

The sun split the day, that had started grey,
and turned it burnished blue.
The city haze soon banished the greys
and took on a pastel hue.
Tower blocks soared and traffic roared 
and heat haze bent perspective,
Street cafés...

“Hell is Empty”


As I peruse the nature of the news
the solutions that we will, and will not, choose,
I know that “hell is empty and the devils are all here”
clothed in regal garments sparkling with fear.

Lots of light, a comfy bed,
Quiet when you're sleeping;
Curtains blocking out the world
When morning rays come creeping.

Reading lamps, two cozy chairs, 
Some drawers to do unpacking;
A fridge, tv and coffeemaker 
(Which some rooms are lacking).
