Long Mender Poems

Village in the Valley left behind, and then it's a fine find
Mountain in the making...in the dark alleys of my mind

You're a flashlight
In the night
You are a friend 
Till the end
Bite the bullet
You're the village...

*warning: sexual theme*

My mind and heart of gold...
Never once...growing mold as we both grow old 
Nervana sells out
I'm without a doubt
That I will love you till I die
That I will love you as long as...

Unique
Hi An Cest Or,
Have you heard of the mediator?

       An Cest Or
Of course, unique, 
He's the mender of techniques.

We must take responsibility for what we do 
Ooooh ooooh 
I must apply that advice too 
Ooooh ooooh 
And I haven't a clue what to do 
Ooooh ooooh 
Where do I begin? Can someone...

   "I have seen and heard the vibrancy of dreams, 
and the way 
of the crossings-through the ills 
and through the barriered things."

A fleeting spark that perceives, 
I, have seen...

Mama you never told me,
Neither dad nor you aunt,
I was shocked mama,
How was I to know?
You never told me.

 I never knew that love can be fake,
I know the pain, so I can tell,
Just imagine,...

OUR LOVE TOOK FLIGHT
Written by: Catherine Reinke

Poems of others
I’ve read to you
of my love lost,
heartbreak and sorrow.

But to you
neglected, rejected
outstanding  and true,

not wait another tomorrow.

My  head and heart
were turned ...

When words are spoken in anger,
Leaving regret and shameful lines, penned
By hearts who needed to vent – to express
The darkness that betrays their need
For healing, for breathing, for revealing
Each whisper of loss and lessons 
Still...

I first noticed a change in Climate,
When my shoes started to outlast their laces,
Which I thought unusual at the time,
As I had come to think of it as an unwritten law,
Probably one of Murphy's,
That shoelaces...

The Care and Feeding of Ideas

Someone wrote them down. 
Words, on parchment, various kinds.
Someone else...
probably edited, and formatted, 
and thought through, and revised, 
and then it was all re-written. 
After consideration, 
adulation, 
spontaneous combustion of...

LOOK OUT-  small print

I really should ‘a read the fine print
Cause that’s what makes all the trouble
The fine print, the fine print
Does anyone take the trouble? 
To read the print that’s got so small
And...

In the Ghetto a man is born

who were common and before all who were great.
Never did He bow down before man nor worldly kings.

You cut me deep and I will always surrender
You slice me again and I will never mender
Your cold shoulder makes me shiver
When its almost gone you still want the last sliver

When you slash me open...

Love, a four letter word that has unforeseen effects

The light of the candle fades
Words of anger spew from the lips I had kissed hours before
Her feet pounding down the thirteen steps
A door slams as the candle dies
Just a plume of smoke marks its...

The mocking is shocking
Aunty Mavis stopped rocking
Then mourners were flocking
A cavalcade blocking
The streets of South Dorking 
Rumours and talking
Like vultures out squawking
Proportionate baulking 
Reputation ignoring
So boring, I'm snoring
The eulogy diction
Precise in it's fiction
The perfect life...

Labored breaths echo throughout the bolted space.
A doom sensation overtakes the place of solace.
Her eyes scan for any exit. 
Light scrambles through a cracked door. 
A window glows, ajar.
Too far away for the taking, her...

Laughter twinkles in my ears
Making smiles out of my fears

Fresh Snow…
Undisturbed…
except by the horse tracks behind him
and the sagebrush, 
like polka dots on a bed sheet,
stretching to the mountains ahead.

as he rides up through the snow
along a sagging fence...

Touch tender has now gone extinct
Nobody has the time
Deadened hearts, no longer love inked 
Mankind’s deaf to love’s chime

To be a child again
Devoid of feral stain
Mindful of other’s pain

Mind bender
Touch tender

Touch tender that once was...
