"We must say, goodbye to 2025 but do not be sad. 2026 will welcome in the bright New Year. It will come with a big smile. Let's welcome in the new arrival 2026 with joy." By Poet
2026 where have you been?
We have been waiting for you to come in.
Winter can be very cold,
will 2026 sing and be bold.
The ground is covered with fluffy snow,
to play in as the swirls will blow.
Now 2026 is starting to grow,
please let peace and love freely flow.
Soon Spring and Summer will be in the air,
pretty flowers will be blooming everywhere.
Fall is a great time of the year for me,
I love pretty butterflies and the big yellow bee.
2026 will be over before we know it,
hope this New Year will Not be a misfit.
And yet I stood upon the bridge.
You came as a wanderer,
carrying me to places I had never named.
We remembered moments, not the days.
And yet, in wandering with me,
you drowned yourself.
The night is dark and unforgiving.
I tried to forgive you.
I was even thinking of giving you another chance like you asked for.
There is nothing left for you to say to me and there is nothing left for me to say to you.
The night is dark when your sad/alone and have no one to be there for you.
The night is my get away.
My get away from you and all the memories we have together.
The memories you have already let go of.
You never loved me anyways.
I try to let go of what we had because it want real anyways.
I tried to see the good in you but I don't think there is any left in you.
I tried to give you my heart and you crushed it like a kid would with a lolly pop.
The night sky makes me sad but it also makes me happy.
The stars are shining in a way I could never.
The stars are the beauty in the dark.
The stars are my new found hope.
The dark of the night sky can be lonely if you cant see the beauty but sometimes it never changes the way you hope it will.
The dark of the night sky is what keeps me going.
The dark of the night sky is my calming place.

Transient Love
I sat on a cliff
overlooking the sea
high above the surf
tasting the salty edge
Tides are a mix
of flavors, both sweet
and sour, columns one
and two….
Truck Stop
I know hot and spicy, and
here you bring me cold and
bland
The chef just quit
she tearfully informed me
the saddest
loveliest blue eyes
Fitted with an apron
love was back on the
menu….
I’ve heard of those searching for love
They often seek the light in the shadows
But my heart always sought One above
He’s the answer… the One who arose!
I’ve heard of hearts who’re always yearning
They pursue their fate without a thought
Hoping for a life full of love that keeps burning
Reminding that true love cannot be bought
I’ve heard of souls who follow each rainbow
Hoping at the end there will be a pot of gold
But I have no doubt that real love will bestow
Each one with a love that will never grow old
I’ve heard of those who try to find it all
Beyond the promises that tell us we’re blessed
By the love that comes from hearing His call
And answering with adoration our hearts expressed
I’ve heard of all the reasons we may have to doubt
But I know someone who loves despite our sin
He offers forgiveness and peace – so I must shout
It is a love that will ever be a light deep within!
I’ve heard of all the reasons that my heart should hate
But I know of One whose love just grows and grows
Why shouldn’t I offer Him this love in my soul – my fate
Why not? When the truth is that He is the love I chose!
siting in the room
under the air cooler,
in the scorching summer,
I remember
the summer shadow
under the tree
near by the field,
upon the cot,
full of water, earth pot
the fallen sapling
recalls memory of
the summer shadow.
holding branches of the tree
all children swing
in the summer shadow
those scorching,
in the heat of summer,
celebrate the glory of
the summer shadow
sun is heating
glacier is melting,
raising the temperature,
in the sea,
earth is sinking,
requires
the summer shadow
Two stars begin to fall
A cascade of brilliant light
Striking is the speed of their descent
Like athletes whose glistening muscles are spent
Yet they run off the field at the end
The first to fall is Courage
He falls swiftly
And is frustrated that he cannot hold his place
Like a runner who prepared for the wrong race
Because he mistook a marathon for a sprint
Next falls Peace
She falls quickly
And bumps into others-making a noisy plunge
Like hungry children who make a lunge
For the last piece of pie
But there are stars remaining
Faith, Hope, and Love are in no danger
They stand with defiance, ready to fight like brothers
Who have made a pact to defend each other
And hold each other accountable-for light
Somehow,
I find myself
content,
confident
and
intrepid
. . . intertwining the interval,
these dimensions,
and the embroidery
that sets us apart
Even though,
there’s an ache to know
you,
and occupy
your personal space
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a connection unbroken
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right now,
contentment
confidence
and timely dimensions,
enable me
to be,
proximate

Two souls
surrounded by the books.
Books are the witness
to their glances.
When glances meet,
the books disappear
into the souls.
Frostbitten winds cut my cheek, the same place pecked
Gently by your chapped lips.
Paradise is lost in ideas of youthful naivety – hopes, miracles
All simply dreamt before time’s continuity.
Acceptance of a possible worse truth told –
I can’t hold hope in promise, not any longer. . .
Humming softly in broken shards of rueful, indelible pasts,
I welcome the unending abyss – engulfed.
Yet alive.
There is a deep hum in the abyss at which you found paradise
Death is nigh – fetid, still, and dreads just slowly enough
Before we find ourselves, despairingly alone
Haunted by action, and dreading apathy –
Perhaps life was sweet, drearily idyllic
Yet as stench sank slowly into my soul,
Your face haunts me still in possibly. . .
The most beautiful way possible.
I'm in love with you,
So my heart breaks when I say,
"You're under arrest!"
The carolers have left the lawn,
the final party guests are gone,
the heavy parlor drapes are drawn,
the hearth's alight with wood you've sawn
I've changed to flannel from chiffon,
your tie is off, your slippers on,
there's wine left in the demijohn,
and cold toast spread with fine cretons
We fall back on the silk divan
and maul the tray of snacks thereon,
you raise your glass to hide a yawn,
the last act in the denouement
The air now chill, the fire wan,
we should have long ago withdrawn
but we sleep there like babes 'til dawn,
deep in the chaise we lay upon
I never heard of such a thing
Just viewed your visage in Spirit form
In that instant, though a child
I knew I was the center of your storm
I grew and the experience stayed
Like etching on a precious stone
Yearning for a normal life
Where I would not be required to be alone
Finally, a mate came, though I knew
The red flags flew high and proud
Surviving that relationship
Left TRUTH silent and trauma loud
I'm sad my children watched it all
I can feel the weight of a failed example
Wanting and not getting is one thing
But cutting that thread because value in not ample
It's not in my path to let you go
Though I do not know your expression
I will flow with full hope and joy
Knowing you will appear in memory's resurrection.
