Long Regrow Poems

Spring — a life anew

Prodding rays of warming glow,
sunshine.
Crusted ice and snow
slowly melting into trickling drops. 
First to bloom
a crocus blue, a tulip tries to rise.

How long the wait
and freezing rain
chilled the weary bones.
Heat up...

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
A sun had risen,
Some bit of ice or mercury had melted.
One stormy wind had come
When a...

For many years, the creek, ran passed as a drain,
Polluted and unloved; a poisoned murky vein.
A favoured dumping place, for household unwanted things -
out of sight, out of mind; and no good what it brings.

There is an illusion of dishonesty in darkness,
so we rejoice when spring sings saccharine serenades.
I've always been a soul yearning for summer scents,
but somewhere the seasons got lost in translation.
Not all honest hearts can remain...

I sat there waiting, for a change in our relationship
Asking, the Almighty to give you a hand
Opening your mind and releasing your heart
Letting your body, come to me and wipe  my thorns
Giving me a...

Truth Found, Recovery Of A Broken Soul

1.
In nightmarish dreams he found such great dread
Of lost hope, life's decay, eyes of the dead.

Deep traps from which his heart had been...

So far above, you’ve been flying high with the angels
And still you stand so far above us.
You are amazing to me, when you speak about your problems 
And those things you wish you could...

your face polaroid happy glowing not half so distant.
     
    walking over to grab the shovel and rain filled 
    bucket near the gravel driveway....

New kid lost in a new world, when separated
from what was known and loved, alone when separated.

Some animals regrow lost parts of themselves: twisted limbs or tail.
Parasites die without another to depend on. They die...

I used to be the one who listened
and Never let my feelings show,
Now I can't stop talking
and for what reason, I do not know.

With every word I write
some things begin to make sense,
With every memory...

I wonder what she’d say
would she stare in wonder?
cry in disdain?
Fear for my fickle bones.

When her child is rested into her flesh
No more than fertilizer, 
giving for the last time.
Will the earth mourn me?

And does...

I'm so tire of picking up all these pieces, falling to the ground
Each time, I think things are getting better, worse comes along
Pounding my head in stones, causing boorishness in my soul
I can no longer...

What did you expect
on your way to shared sanctuary today?
Did you expect to return unchanged?
The same as that earlier person
on your way?
What would be your purpose
for participating in this faithful revolution
with such slight anticipation?

What did...

We thought it would last forever,
not a kink in the endless chain of supplies;
Now more than the store shelves
are coming up continuously empty;
Still the menu is good to change,
maybe get out grandma’s old recipe;

Soul, is traveling in the trees. Moments have, become so weak. Feet sore!
Fighting this battle, this battle. I seem, to fight every second....

I'm like the grass
Sometimes I need to be cut down so that I can regrow but not so fast

I'm like the sky in clear view
Sometimes I'm gray and sometimes I'm blue

My words can feel like...

I cut my flowers too short.
My billowing, green vase drowning their maternally short stems
and never-blooms.
Within a week’s time, (and I know this)
The leaves I neglected to p l u c k
Will be rotting and browning...

I heard a rumour that I never knew
Santa delivers to animals too
But, throughout the ages 
He’s feared beasts in cages
So he leaves till last, his trip to the zoo

Small children, they play the game right

staring very strangely right down at me

“Ô, Wanderess, Wanderess
When did you feel your

Was I the source
of your greatest bliss?”

when feelings – bright tulips – sprang...
