Long Reunites Poems

Every couple 'a years or so 
Our family reunites
It takes a couple 'a years or so
To recover from the fights

A family like our'n
Doesn't party like most do
Ours gets a little out of hand
That's why we...

It's difficult to feel good
When you see
A long lost loved one
The meeting predicated
On the death of another
You both loved
But, at least one of you
Barely saw at all
Once those early years were gone
So...

In the beginning, we burned bright,
brighter than any suns or stars could ever dream of,
but even suns and stars eventually burn out.

You were taken from this world, from me,
far quicker than should be allowed.
For every...

The spring is coming in a slow pace,
But I can sense something in the air,
Something coming out of nowhere,

I stood in front of the elevator on the third
floor in a nice old hotel,
Going to a...

Thy fiance reunites with me at least I conquered the war fair and square.
He kindly said: I love you, darling. Please, be mine for the keep!  
All pain fled, and tears ran away for...

And Suddenly, Life

You are fighting with a dear friend or family member. Words are hurled, feelings are shredded and suddenly life is never the same again.  You're already planning your future holidays so you...

As storms rage outside your front door... I'll be your rainbow that guards your door.

When sickness tries to over takes your body and when your enemies leave you beaten and 

barely able to stand on...

When the days are dark
And the nights are cold
Feeling your intangible presence
Keeps me going

Staring at the mirror
My broken soul
Reunites its pieces
Becoming a whole

Even when you are not near
You support me thoroughly
I feel you care
Our friendship...

A field of wheat cloaked in dewy silence
the orchestra tunes up with avian arias
bullfrog basses and a choir of cawing crows,
xanthic sunflowers turning their heads to better see,
the daylight trajectory commencing with lazuline layering,
a breeze...

The fate that once united our lone souls
Has turned and torn away this world's soft veil.
If only for a word that could console
And stop the color in me bleeding pale

Yet, light that once reflected off...

She That Time And Fate Can Never Erase

BEHOLD- she that a torn heart can repair,
a Venus that bright stars envy and praise
she that reflects morn's firstborn golden rays
sumptuous love, beyond mortal compare!

Soft as silk glistening...

The revolution is no longer a dream
As we watch it stream
Live on the TV and internet
The sun of tyranny is beginning to set

Get out of your bed
The idea is no longer in your head
Shout out...

Roll out the living red carpet,
from the cemetery black bottom
to the heavenly ivory throne tower
Welcome the regal chariots of fire, 
pumpkin-colored carriages that be limo low-riding
Distant relatives in the rearview mirror
chilling ... smiling ... high-fiving
These...

In the Hush

"It is finished!"  over, complete
Echoing in the twilight hush
On Saturday's holy ground
Breathing through candles on the Sabbath table
Slowly vibrating to a fevered breath
Strong enough to shatter stone
And melt iron tipped spears to...

The night has been so long and still the dawn comes near,
And daylight would clear the horizon that I fear.

Owls fly back to their nests after the midnight feast
And I, lonely in my room watch...

looking for a little different in an imprisoned planet of same
a drop of color presents itself and melts the ice cubes freezing the warmest part of my heart
in an altered dream within a lightly fused...

Mondays were school days.
Mondays were rule days.
Mondays can be cruel days.

Sundays make me sing
but Mondays bring
open books,
a crooked look from the boss,
leaving crying children
with their first strangers.

The outlook for Monday
might be blue
or overly optimistic.

Moms love...

Take deep breaths and inhale love reborn.
Times ago in a place a meadowlark could not sing.
Recreate the romance and mend up all that was torn.
Within a unbreakable fortress a Queen reunites with her King.
Those dreams...

The dead dance in our midnight dreams
then kiss our soul at rising light of sun beams

The soft heart of yesterday still firmly beats
as we recollect their images on memory streets

Now we are the breathing book...

You died, thus half of me died.
My pain is unbearable!
There is nothing anyone can say or do
that can ease my hurt
or bring me a minuscule amount of comfort.
When I close my eyes
I see your face...

As I sit and stare out into the cool black night, 
I can't help but remember the days gone by...
A bit of melancholy touches my heart and a single tear doth fall, 
tis my wish...

Kneeling reality comes full circle
The moon has grown lazy
and life invades my spine

Spontaneous
                    conscious burst
