cracking with the weight of age
silently weeping

touch softly with stolen light
a Winter’s darkness

July 2016

You pushed me over the cliff’s edge,
eager to watch me fall.
Instead I flew
and you
were never filled
with such regret.

dehydrates shrunken shadows
baking city streets

the arc shortens
coolness draws warmth from the earth
compressing darkness

This summer’s great
Captain America
And Independence Day
And in the fall/winter
Star wars
And in the 
Dredges of winter

The fabric has torn
  all beds are unmade

The sheets have been soiled,
 —the bugs to invade

i knew the tears would come 
didn't know exactly when
it happened when I saw the american flag
flopping flaccidly in the hate filled wind

Christmas Bells

dormant hearts sing praise
arise, stir the sediment
renew faded dreams

Again has come Valentine's Day,
To all my loves I have to say
Thanks for all you add to life, 
From Daughters, Brothers, & Sisters & Wife.
To that add the Grandkids Three
And may all our Hearts be free.

2016
How have 
you been

I have
traveled
for miles
just to
meet you
and then

I have to
move on
to meet
my new
friends

2017
And more
are waitiing
for me
at the bend

And
I'm planning
to meet them
before 
this life 
ends

2016 - Continuity

The men are not made by war,
But our Kingdom is always tore.
Why must we always hate?
Can we not have a different fate?

Revolution of the young,
Will bring about change - sure to come.
O where is the next silver tongue?
When they be found beat the drum-

Ireland 2008-2016

It is so sad that many a young ones has to go
Reminding us so much of our ancient pasts
Emigrating to build a better future themselves
Leaving behind those whom they love for now
Accepting they don't know how the future fare
Never a day goes without them in our thought
Days are hard without them being near to us

Premium Member Election 2016 and 2024

there are no heroes anymore,
no one with that dream.
it has become a weapon
that kills when charisma ends.

there are no malcolm x's,
for we have found ourselves.
no johns or roberts to kill,
no kings to praise.

where are the people
in a world that sees no wrong,
in a candidate opening pandora's box,
to win his  throne?

Happy 2016

The clock strikes twelve
We all shout our wishes
For a Happy New Year
With no more hurting issues

The time has come to wish all well
Happiness lurks in the sound of the bell
2016 has finally come
With whistles and horns and the sound of a drum

We have a new year
To let everyone know
The feelings we have
That we never show
