Once Poems

A strange sorrow once married me

Life, come thou unhurried to me,
Said she, it’s long buried, to me. 

A strange sorrow once married me,
Wonder who’d it carried to me.

Once a bubble dared laugh at me,
Blown soon, it looked harried to me.
	
Where’s the strainer that filters sins?
The query stands parried to me.

What all my joys can sweep aside,
Such brooms have never worried

Once it is far away enough

Only be distal enough from crowded stay 
The fresh and sweet of the air can be tasted
And the chirping of birds be appreciated 
Also, the dancing butterflies be exquisite

Which of the untouched are full of charms 
Such as imagined fairies shown in murals
In the corner of this, being ignored by them
No humans hustle and bustle

I once was heard

Will memories I have remain?
It is my fear that they will not;
for children think I am insane,
and what I say is best forgot.

Once A Girl

Once a girl, feeling too much. 
Barely able to cope with her anxiety. 
The unending feeling of disaster haunting her waking moments, setting the mood for the day. 
Unable to stand the constant fright. 
A pill to dull the fear and unending doom. 
But she changed, learning and becoming stronger. 
No longer needing something to

Once Upon A Christian Time

Once upon a Roman Empire building time
a brilliantly pleasing boy was born 
of humble Jewish means,
named Jesus.

Born into autocratic occupation,
to avoid military police threats 
of mass Jewish male child murder,
Jesus and his mom and dad
became EastBound immigrants,
away from Western kleptocratic ruin.

Jesus was thereby exposed
to more Eastern polytheistic
and pantheistic polycultures
before returning home
to listen and learn literacy

Here You Are, Once More

Clear water serenely waves 
                towards the shore 
In your hands you hold a book 
                filled with Mystical secrets 
and as the sun goes

The Love That Once Filled Our Hearts

Thinking of how love once filled our hearts,
From the first day we met, we were never far apart.
More love than I ever believed I could feel—
I never imagined that kind of love could be real.
But then I felt it, and it was phenomenal.
I look back on the joy that bloomed in my chest,
And remember the

Of Once Was

shadows of mountains 
reflecting on a still lake 
a strong wind blows in 
continuous whitecaps drift 
rows of ripples fade near shore 

falls soon arrival
turned mountains brown and naked 
trees in skeleton 
hold nests with broken eggshells
that echo through the forest  

heat related torch 
wildfires engulf the mountains 
killing everything 
extinguished ashes remain

And you realised that is was your 

Life spelt out on every Line. 

Would you hear my voice and Wonder as it  

Brushed across each word and pray my Arms have the strength to hold the truth About your world

Once we were Seven

Once we were Seven
Once we were seven now only one
Six gone before me
Now I’m alone
No one to reminisce with
Questions left to myself
Childhood memories but no one to share 
They left me each of them, one by one
 And with each passing
Came sadness and tears
Charlotte was first
We were closest in age
She teased and  tormented me

Once Upon A Happenstance

Once upon a happenstance,
she fell into a swift trance. 
This view felt ordinary,
that was what made it scary. 

Every flower was in bloom,
still you should never assume.
Spots of energy raging,
can you feel what it’s staging? 

With that sweet breath of magic,
nothing here could be tragic. 

Timeless beauty’s engaging,
the Fey have be-spelled aging. 
A wand touching

Once Upon a Night

I look from my window—
the city is silent and serene.
I give another glance:
the light of bulbs moves slowly
through the twilight night.
Suddenly,	
the uproar of parasite cars
breaks the seamless silence,
conspiring against the beauty
born of that celestial scene.
The wondering, waning moon—
like a besought fortune—
shy and quiet,
approaches me.
Enchanting, she whispers:
Take my light
and ignite the darkness within.

Where Intention Once Stood

My thoughts walk barefoot on gravel roads—aching, slow, and scattershot.

My mind drifts like dusk in worn linen—frayed, faded, and folding in on itself.

My mind, grown tired of its tidy metaphors, slumps like a clerk at closing hour—unnoticed, necessary, numb.

My brain, vast as prairie land at sunset, lies fallow—dreaming the hush between thunderclaps.
