Long Getaways Poems

I was a happy housewife and mother, and family was my world,
Like stars peeping at purple twilight, to see moonlight pearled.

My small children were in school, and my husband was a doctor,
As gold sunshine on...

Poetic paean to papa's princess

Otherwise titled:
Mien wonderful wedded divine wife....,

whose piercing deliverance,
a balm ameliorating tattooed strife
despite being dirt poor,
(especially after dirty deeds done... 
generating thunderstruck ac/dc current
hmm... maybe due comeuppance 
being scammed to the hilt)

I was a stylish, assertive travel agent, arranging getaways for busy people;
Like sudden getaways of jewel, shooting stars, on ebony nights of upheaval.

I planned calm, exotic, trip itineraries, for all tired of city hustle and...

She struggles to provide the essentials
Everyday
Every waking moment is like a cast iron weight around her neck
But this was her flower
And if her only option had been wringing a damp rag
This little flower would surely...

her name was Anne 
and she wrote dreams 
upon pages; 
the kind that roam around your mind 
but are always held deep 
inside your chest;

and she heaved 
under the weight of tears 
left uncried 
and...

Meet My Robin "Hood"

"Hood" being the key word, the 
man who is a saver of souls 
lacking passion and adventure,

Robin "Hood" swept me off my 
couch where I had grown roots, 
eatin' chips n cookies...

You’re a consumer pawn on the cargo chessboard,
being merchandise moved 
by the mighty, 
free-market bellow powers-that-be:
The Babble Tower titans of industry

And the fawning, vote hopes that you have
is advancing 
conveyor belt backwards
The packaged progress that...

         A delicious languor steals over one
in the languid twilight falling over the meadow
Watching tiny animated spectrums

It's becoming clear to me about you and me,
That maybe we were not ment to be.
You are pushing me away everyday can you see what I can see?

The bright-eyed explorer. Raw Umber of a shelf. Thoughts, ideas and a new story every day. Of Fukuyama and Dostoyevsky; the quest for knowledge. The summer season and all things colorful. The bitterness of Coffee...

I miss the open highway
I’m besotted with quick getaways.
What other sensation can compare
to pulling G’s with wind-whipped hair?

When my foots on the throttle,
I feel unstoppable.
Faster, faster, no faster,
that’s the rush I’m after.

Where are we going?
There’s...

The high places
are where the rich and poor go
Venues where they congregate,
order the strong drink and rub the elbow
They come together,
no matter the social strata
The high place
is the place you wanna go
to take a toke...

Short weekends and long weekdays
School’s out then it’s onto résumés and workdays
Mondays dragging on through to Fridays
Long commutes on highways, subways and tramways
Toiling for okays, some praise and hopefully a raise

Soirees and negligees for Saturdays
Aspiring...

Jata Jata jing jing jing
live a life of dance and song
poetic stanzas for all to sing
sailing to realms you truly belong
in misty caverns of colored time
I forgive the past
confide in my present
leaving futures unknown
good tidings...

Love affairs, wars, depression, gastronomy, obsession,
weight loss, job loss, don't give a toss, Bill Goss,
arguments, instalments, increments, incidents,
discension, derision, indecision, my pension.

sloppy dresser, second - guesser, more is...

Love avenue shuffle
spirits fandango through
grave eyes of doubt on
delusions of disorder
when we kiss do 
dreamy clouds cuddle?
Photonic warped thoughts
feed on disdained
mecurial clot eclipses tick tocking
against organic time thieves, there's
cerebral fury on medication row as
rival consuls...

Within nature there are some great aspects
Like going on walks that take you on treks
Many picnics are wanted in nature
Romantic getaways are the future

There is some kissing in the rose garden
The beauty exists never to...

i wanna get away
what about you
we will take the scenic route
we can stop and get a chocolate malt
we can visit a sight for a bit
we can walk on a trail and admire the beauty
we can...

I’ve climbed a lot of life’s mountains
Seen view after view
Moved with ups and downs in life
The best that I can do
I’ve made mistakes or worked too hard
Held onto dreams I can’t discard
Wrapped memories with bows...
