Protecting Poems

Just Friends?

He says we're just friends,
But if I don’t Talk for a single day,
He grows restless, 
searching for my voice or my text.

When I rest my head upon his shoulder,
His hand finds my cheek, gentle and caring,
—As if protecting something precious.

When he takes my hand in his,
It feels like an unspoken promise,
—A quiet vow lingering between

As a younger man I knew, many emotions much confusion
As I grew.' Normal in many ways, red blooded desired the
Women yet deep inside, knew? had the wish to be fair gave
Thanks that they were there, I spent some days in New
South Wales, in the town of Dubbo, some others came, to

The Dye is Cast

So, what to do now the dye is cast
our choices now seem to be lost
in this land of emotions vast
do we but sigh and say  “what cost!”

anger misplaced by any hue
can grow until it causes harm
stir hate where love is overdue
and signal there's cause for alarm

our nation's fate still rides on trust
of freedom's power

Protecting My Own Skin

I made a vow to never part.
Please hold what's dear to me within.
I hope that you will not depart.
What would I be without my skin?

Protecting a Lone Runner

little girl of about nine is running alone in the marathon
two or three older women decide to keep keen watch
protecting her as best they can without scaring her

Protecting Ones Good Name

Protecting one's good name
Not a kid's easy card game.
Who does climbs towards fame,
Who squeezes it buys shame;
The picture not the same....

Better one an old dame,
Clinging to her good name
Than princess of just blame
In morals badly lame
One's good name is one's flame;
Really, the thing men claim. 
Thus, you must n't it maim;
Remain - not wild -

The Fight

Benny Black was never understood
A sixth grader but ever so truly
Too big for his own good
Always the bully
Doing bad things to others because he could
Never doing what he should

He hated himself through others
And chose my little brother
To force his anger and cruelly uncover
How chubby he was, how he was fat as a toad
And a stupid

Protecting

Love to wrap body of fear 
Fighting to believe reality  of tears
My world of truth numbing of pills 
Heating up my thoughts to grill 

Tattooing of skin to show the world 
The tales of pain mirror of life 
Believe to help to heal my scars
Hidden forever voice so far 

Puzzle lost piece no end

My Son Is Protecting Me

Standing on a cliff, overlooking the ocean
   Waves roll in, lapping up against the boardwalk
Toward the horizon gulls soar, occasionally 
   Swoop down to scoop up a small fish...

The rhythm of the ocean's pulse
   Beating, oblivious of me scanning
the far horizon, off in the distance
   Thousands of

Protecting the Small

Protecting the Small

How do people in power rise, 
when all they are talking about, 
is against everything that can be 
remembered…
taught in school? 

How can people hold high office, 
while the people, the poor around them, 
sink ever lower into the embrace of death. 

Poverty, and poor houses, 
living on the streets,

Protecting the Peace

A wild bitter wind pushes me along this empty path,
that I have rambled before many, many a time;
but this day I am feeling winters anger and wrath,
and though cloudy there is a beauty sublime . . . 
A stone cross marker stands protecting the peace,
and raven calls far and near in the cemetery-  never

Protecting My Friend Till the End

Calls in middle of the night
Hearing something isn't right
Your voice crackling with fear
Pleading for me to be there
I hang up and get dressed
Scaring me with your distress
I knock, it is 3 AM
You hurry and let me in
Grabbing me so tight and fearful
Crying with eyes big and tearful
I softly ask what its about
Your abusive husband out
