Overgrowing Poems

Ocean's Body - Rondelet

...
Ocean's body
old footprints gone before I come
Ocean's body
with flower's toss, overgrowing,
old footprints gone before I come — 
the fall of the tide falls in love
Ocean's body...

The Sleepy Hollow

...The day innocence disappeared
As life was created down by the Sleepy Hollow
The days of great sayings
Children bringing up children
We did okay for a time
Sadly, maturity does what it always doe...

A Foolish Trek To the Meadow

...The meadow has come alive with sight and sound
As I go through the gate, I hear buzzing all around,
The bees are busy working on milkweed flower
Waist-high daylilies and coral honeysuc...

Aurora Spills

...
"Aurora Spills"


Aurora spills like a waterfall
light from the eyes 
saltwater tears
crocodilian
scaled in the weight of worth
a drop in the ocean of fate
breaks the s...

A Walk To the River

...A scarlet tanager sits primly on the rail
Of the new fence erected near the meadow,
He eyes me stroll as I take in every detail
The path to the woodland is rather narrow,

Infrequent...

A Rose By Any Name

...A rose once grew strong and tall
sheltered from the elements by a garden wall
and as the days went swiftly by
the rose grew stronger reaching for the light
one day a beam shone through and sealed...

Humility

...Coiled up for winter slumber it had rested the budding pledge

Soil still moist the promise is waiting for blossoms and sedge

To give host to migrating birds returning from busy regeneration

...

The Pink City

...At the edge of the Thar desert,
the reposed stilled sands sculpted
petrified waves of old dunes buried 
in the carved rocky pediment 
of the rolling train of the Aravalli hills.
The contorted co...

Aged

...Stepping over the tumble weed 
Overgrowing the garden path
Looking back age 45 and half 
With 50 firmly transfixed in my sights

I am left to ponder 
Where did it all go right 
I say in jest a...

The Missing

...Memories shift through generations; pictures yellow, fray across the currents of time, worn and torn. Hushed stories talk about a life taken away too early, bone fragments in the mud, saltwater grave...

Beggar Child

...Lone baby craving forgotten plays
Without holidays your aching days
A distant uninspired walker pays
While others will not see your dismays

Cardboards covering and biting fasting
Local shops c...

Of You, This My Journey

...Of you, this my journey 

~

Wide eyed illusions
of spring flower wishes
With maple trees dotting
the land that I seek

Open and lonely
I stroll through the valleys
Where grass...

But Never Forget

...But Never Forget

Stoned out his lonely mind and drunk on booze and oblivion he headed straight 
into memorial abandon doomed and entombed smashed forgotten and lost forever

He once was Jack bu...

Dear Grandpa

...Dear Grandpa,

Are you aware that you can still get social security income if you act now?
Did you know that Capital One and Visa want to give you credit cards?
Magazines offering tractor and far...

Sonnet No 2

...Winds a-blowing, graves are bending to the colour grey,
Leaves are dancing; light is dimming on the names of dead,
Yours amongst them sharply screaming name of love we had,
Empty graveyard...
