Long Restfully Poems

Within my quasi moat toad lily padded immediate environs

Meaning the corporeal complex edifice
housing these lovely bones, 
where linkedin logorrhea ably
strives to break out 
in meaningless song 
yobble hum hum diddle dee dee
and dance courtesy

I heard that you are coming, and I am ready for the meeting
I heard that you are coming, and here I am anxiously waiting 
The last time I heard that you were coming
My heart leaps...

When I visit another place, another state, another note
Who writes its hope, its grace, its peace
From the gentle rains, the tranquil rivers and streams
The broken tears of a mourning dew, silent as the joy
Who abides...

In her shadow, I feel the presence of a doubt – while in His presence, I know that I’ve discovered the light of One who casts all shadows out. - by poet

In her shadow, I...

"Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces"      John Ruskin, 1853

It was just another memory
 the aftermath of time and life in brevity,
recovered in the dreams of night
 slipping...

For boys of tomorrow who went,
forgive our ignorance of the old,
forgive us for taken the unripe 
mangoes from the top of the trees.
Let your minds be written restfully,
the sky owes us an obligation to protect...

Subjected to torment and teasing
Isn't very fun or pleasing
Every day becomes a chore
Not to end up on the floor
From being shoved and pushed around
Bruises always being found
Being a human punching bag
Mornings it is hard to...

Let's see
Up at three 
Feed the baby
Back under the sheets
For a couple hours of sleep
Kids up for breakee
Gulping my tea desperately
Rush them to school gleefully
Walk the baby expediently
This being my time for me
Back home to...

As I stand here before you gazing into your eyes, may I take thine hand in mine?
To behold your poise and charm, and enwrap me into your arms to entrust my need unto thee entwined?
Come...

My night my fight my struggle.
Terrifying dreams of the devil,lighting strikes and fierce winds,
This is what kept me from sleeping when I was young.
Holding my pillow close to my face, trying to hold back the...

If I rant about race
I’m racist.
If I speak on sex
I’m sexist.

I convey a hearty compliment
I’m sexually harassing.
I speak of stature
I’m body shaming.

I pronounce on politics
I’m partisan.
I fight for liberty 
I’m a terrorist.

The line these days...

Sunday’s leap
and praise
This rest
among friends
in cozy pews
communing 
with God
The greatest honor
I wish
all knew
The love
on fire
Holy Spirit
spire
This rest
with eyes and ears
on word of God
The word
that cleanses
No pressure
to be perfect
whilst being perfected
When you love
HIM
you WANT to please...

Oh, Lynn, my love, the end is lowly calling me
From wake to sleep, the ebbing of my life
Our summer's gone and all your flowers are lying
But I must go and leave you, loving wife

Come to...

When ever my computer crashes on me
is when I'm hit with the cold reality thereafter shortly.
Initially, like my computer I crash restfully,
because both my computer and I are usually at each other exhaustively
for many hours...

being as we are
in thought rested silence
with mind body we cease to spar
celebrating aliveness of our innocence 

there being no seeking or anticipation 
as we restfully nestle in the void
vibrant in flow of cessation
content and...

Spirals downward ending in a platform
The end of the descent, the end of it all
A way to silence the eternal storm
Going out with one loud bang

A hush goes through the passageway
Not often one wanders through...

Ride the wind ...
Wherever she blows 

Whispering wildly 
Roaring restfully 

Tousling hair 
Caressing skin 

Tinkling chimes 
Rattling panes 

Killing candlelight 
Birthing flames 

Bringing a storm 
Leaving a rainbow 

Ripping out roots 
Pollinating fields 

Just ride...

The Unborn Child


I wonder will they let me in? 
Will they furnish me with life support?
I want to be my Grandpa's friend,
his pride, his joy, and his hero in sports.

Really, it’s not his decision
for these...

The trees rustling, sound like the oceans
Coming up to shore and going out

Slowly calming sounds of the motions
Knowing a crab is walking all about 

My life is also like the oceans 
Constantly seeking approval of...

I have never been in love
Just felt its shadow
Swaying in the moving sky

Its breath falling upon my neck
Lulling me into a false sense of security
All logic whittles down and dies

My little existence
Erupts such sorry anthems
From...
