Missing Poems

Always envious of gifted individuals with neat hand printing/writing

Gnome hatter heroic measures taken
moost ludicrously asinine,
nonetheless hoop fully
me legendary penta meat herd bovine design

of modest fellow (me) will endure as divine,
no matter not one bloody poetic line

What I miss most, a kind thought, a small word
how we shared, the "memories" and moments
A hug in the wind--- nothing is absurd
with you. . your friendship and your tenderness

What I miss most, is how you made me smile
when we...Read More

I can't sleep at night
In my arms you're being held tight
And it is ever so, ever so right

Oh, thinking about you girl
Be there in my world
I can't open my eyes 
Showing you there after two tears left cry

And girl old...Read More

The gentleman strode confidently along the strand 
‘his silver topped cane was gripped tightly in hand 

‘the storm which had raged with that purple strange light ‘had pushed him forward in -time to this very night.

People looked and thought it...Read More

         And again tonight
         I am falling into sleep 
         With the heart

Why I strayed, I know the reason, but do you? You’re the one that I fell into their arms, the one that I turned to
Although I told you then I never got too deep, but now I feel as though...Read More

Another day without you.
Another day to be alive.
Within sorrow's empty heart.
How do I survive.

Loneliness surrounds me.
My other half is gone.
Half of this whole is missing.
from this souls loving song.

No notes I sing this morning.
To greet this new day.
No smiles I...Read More

That evil thing has changed my soul,
I close myself in the house alone.
No longer do I talk – not even on the phone.
I am fed my head turned away.

Groceries are shoved through a tiny space,
Missing many I’ve learned to make...Read More

The people crowded on the platform
Standing in wait for the 8.15 A.M. Fast
Are not the anxious one, bored they maybe.
Till two decades ago
I was a part of that crowd for many years,
The train never failed us.
I have come to recollect...Read More

These thoughts in my heart are plenty
unlike those words that run on empty-
the poems I could only wish to scribble
that often merge into a puzzle,
stashed among unread books for days,
lackluster hours they solely embrace

A sprig of chrysanthemums seeking attention
from my...Read More

"What a fine day for a picnic," my friends all said,
In the dog days of summer, with the hot sun overhead.

We would all go for a swim, and then have a fine lunch,
And would return refreshed and happier, we had...Read More

There once was a tower made of flower 
It stood in the village showing power 
Until one day 
It was invaded one would say 
By a buzz looking for a quick pay day
Going from one bud to another 
Pollen was...Read More

Walking along the pebbled beaches of Devon,
Little Bertha and me were on a mission,
To find some fossil of unknown dinosaur, 
Washed to these shores by waves from afar! 

Husband and son jack were searching  as well,
From their laughter doing...Read More

Maybe the wind blows to search for lost clouds
Maybe the stars shine to hunt for the sun
Maybe we laugh to gasp in some air
To let our soul dance blissful and bare

Maybe the waves come looking for lost fish
Maybe smoke rises...Read More

Missing the days
When I was the craziest person I knew 
This mad world 
Has incredibly gotten madder
Radios TVs blaring panic
Humanity gobbling it up like candy
Social distancing 
Because society hadn't already 
Become distant enough 
Do you know your neighbor's name
Do you...Read More

She is alone
Hoping to be loved
By a man

The one who loves her
For all she is
Good, bad and ugly

Wounded in battle scars 
Across her fragile heart
Her mind traumatized 

Builds her highest defense
With hidden traps
Not get into her again

Prosecuting trespassers 
With sharp...Read More

Although I am doing my best to wrap my brains around all of this, there's just no way to dismiss some meaningful things I dearly miss. Quarantining for the purpose of containment of a deadly virus is something we have...Read More

tomorrow stopped by 
looking fresh as always
as yesterday was getting ready to leave
had errands to take care of before midnight 

that’s what she told us anyway
still managed to have a cup of tea together
the three of us
a tradition, after all

something...Read More

WE WERE WIRED
Seeing the thickness of the forest craved the feel of darkness
I told myself and my mates, ‘We risk missing our way’.
The canopy cover craves countless thoughts
A save place from the sun’s harsh rays,
A hide-out for the monsters we...Read More

Fragile Life

Tonight I learned,
quite by accident
that my dear friend
lays dying of the virus.

I called him this weekend,
in all this craziness
to check on him....call it a gut hunch
his phone just went to message.

He gasped his greeting,
what would take normally a minute...Read More

The heirloom, Neo-classical, Palladian, almost as old as light, was mine from conception, so, when the latchkeys were placed over Simian crease, 
I put my ears to the hardwood floor, listening for the cacophony of feet. 
Sometimes when God's voice...Read More

In a stupor of alcohol and bitterness,
each day dragging out through the dense lens of alcoholic fury.
The days ran from days to months to eons, time travel on a toast.

With no pen available and no thought to ensnare,
the eddies of...Read More

 
and I recall 
dad's work shed to this day
the scent of wood and dust in the air
cobwebs in corners and crooks
sun flooding in through windows
his scarred and scored wooden work table
with the countless tin cans of nails and screws

dad...Read More

Been one 
For a long time
Never have one

Grown up
Secretly needs one
Not just having it
Opportunity to cherish it
Something special

Despite ignoring it
Bury it deep inside my chest
It gets louder and louder

Every lovebirds come by
I can only dream
Smiling to myself
Imagining that for me

Glancing...Read More

Inferno hurt 
By: Christopher Nickles 

He wouldnt promise her the world.

For that was a promise he couldnt keep.

Promised her all possible, Evan when cold. 
But when he needed her, she disappeared. 
Went missing like a shooting star at night. 
As...Read More
