Long Gayle Poems

My deplorable emotional collapse. 

Lucky for me, she happened to be in her many hour siestas!

My dear sister amelie came over (previously arranged to pick up some rocks that z mama rolled in a pile)...

If she says “I love you”, on the roller coaster
Moments after she saw you
Soil your shirt
She loves you.

If you find yourself at a karaoke bar
And she insists on singing a duet,
Then she picks ‘Just You...

I finally watched the much talked-about
R.Kelly interview. And it was off-the-rails crazy alright!
A day has passed and I'm still flabbergasted by it
If his objective was to convince the world
Of his innocence, he failed spectacularly
In fact,...

The Team.   

Here we are in Gayndah town, 
The parks are all filled up. 
With Caravans and Motor homes,
‘N’ Backpackers trying their luck.

The pickers are around the trees,
And filling Gaypak bins.
As cold and...

Nothing like Gayle’s homemade chili wafting throughout her home
To make even the hardest heart feel comforted and less alone

I met an earth angel when I was a merely sixteen and a half
Her spirit was as...

The “Golden Wedding Anniversary“
Of George and Sally, or to you 
“Leon and Gayle”
now here’s their tale ...

Gayle was a city of Moffett girl,
Leon a shy Allentown farm boy.
Opposites attracted,
And the...

Mom, Grandma, Nancy, Stephen, June
Laughing, talking, cooking past noon

Clean, fresh vanilla candle smell
Messy house means all is well

Christopher, David, Penny, Jan
My dog Short Stack; my biggest fan

Sweet caramel Hershey kiss
Sour lemon Lipton iced tea; Brisk

Prevention!
The stars sing to me
to set up games
to look for players
to save my life
from the sick world of satanic cults....
I know you're thinking
How do I know?

I'm the modern day

She swallowed the key
She wrapped the...

Adam Lambert will come swooping in with Queen.
They will serenade me as I sit on my deck enjoying myself.
A van will pull up and my dog and cat will jump in.
They will be whisked off...

I am Sure The Lord is Smiling

In your adversities and traumas;
I am sure the Lord is smiling;
In your healings and your pains, I know
that, the Lord is smiling
Now He's not laughing at you,
He's just happy...

I was married to a man, 
who I loved with all of my heart.
Until, one horrible evening.
My marriage fell apart.

How could this have happened,
after so many of years?
The news I would be given.

I yielded my heart’s desire
Upon LOVE’s request
May I have a friend, please
To give alone a rest

She came as a challenge
Felt like a slap upon my face
A year of serving LOVE
In every moment, there was Grace

I have two children
who I love and adore.
It’s unfortunate
I did not have any more.

The oldest is my daughter
The youngest is my son.
However I’m grateful to God
He did not give me just one.

As we all know...

Do I really know you
although I call you friend
Friends made in cyberspace
disappear with no end

Do I really know you
just from your written word 
Putting so much trust in that
seems rather absurd

Your words chosen 'careful'
your face...

Tabatha Transcends

The rains in March came down;
And she thought that they would never cease.
She prayed with all her might;
For just a little peace.

The clouds remained so dark;
And gloominess all around.
She cried out for it to...

You made these brown eyes blue
You make your baby cry
I just don’t understand…
Tell me the reason why

You said that you love me 
Confessed desire, too
Now you've gone and done it
You've made these brown eyes blue

WORDS

I have accumulating wealth for I have the gift of words.
They're a treasure unto myself in my expanding universe.
Words have the power to wound or heal; it is a well-known fact.
They determine how we think...

Wait 'til tomorrow when all brothers kick in.
Something that never should've been said by a President.
Does he remember Gayle Sayers and Walter Payton?
People who gave of themselves to save this nation.

All I Have Left 
(Is What You Left Behind)

What I have left
Is a memory
Of the kiss I always wanted 
Accompanied
By the touch of a man’s hand
Worn by sun and work
Gentled
By the feel...

With a gleam in her eye and a hand on ‘er hip
She utters defiance with poisonous lips

Twistin' the phone cord and flickin' ‘er ash
She talks to her boyfriend while countin' her cash

Throws on some makeup...
