Short Betweens Poems

So ive seen
It all 
The ends
And means
And in-betweens
And all I can say
We will all truly
Live one day...

Like everybody else
Can’t help but see
Their whelps,
Whines
And system
In betweens
How it goes
Is how it seems...

it is always 
the in-betweens that matter

the digestion, 
the separation

pre-starting or ending 
an event

it is what isolates the meaning
of life...

The fading flowers remind me
 of just how short life really is.
For just in a second it seems
 we are conceived and born
 age and mature.
In a moment we live and love
 then grow old and die.
It is the in betweens
 that mold us and make us
who we are....

In Between

Somewhere in my thoughts today 
I sit and wonder and I pray!
I pray for a little girl I met so innocent and warm,
I hope that someday she will meet someone whose is strong. 
Strong enough to know and do for her what is the best
And pray for all in betweens that we can never guess....

corn grew up on the cob
got gnawed off by the gob
In a shack
way out back
cob had a job wiping glob

corn got thrown in the can
cob got tossed by the man
then big fat hogs
gobbled cob logs
and turned ‘em into ham   

What the? Wadda ya know.
The labels now read GMO
corn and beans,
and in betweens
all mutate more than they grow...

from greatest joys to depths of despair.
the highs, the lows, the in-betweens;
the longtime married couple
have run the whole gamut
of their life journey.
despite hardships,
they still paddle
their canoe
across
creek.

I don’t know how they do it
How do they write so fast
My writing goes so slowly
I sometimes feel outclassed

I’ve time and lots of talent
And inspiration too
But something must be wrong
I don’t know what to do

I’ll sit here for a while
My thoughts not quite connecting
Good starts, good ends, good in betweens
Not used, simply collecting...

each room bright
well lit I find
myself switching off
a light that’s not on
it’s off it’s bright
feast to the sight
walls are textured white
the moon looms
when the brightness dims
on shadowed limbs
outside-in and inside-out
and upside-down the lids
close and darkness hearkens
dreams and nightmares
and in betweens
til morning sits up
in its time and frolics
in my stead...

This world experience
is an on-going story
with no hands writing it.

There are no hands but yours.
Imagination needs fingers
if it is to shape an idea,
and thought needs a glove
to become its reality.

In the end, there is no beginning,
in the beginning there is no end,
all in-betweens are a fiction.

That which cannot be said in words
will forever exist.

God has no words for you 
but: 

I AM....

"reflective risings"

dawn approaches with new possibilities
and the sun shines expressing hope
as songbirds visit outside the pane

dusk rolls in with blankets of comfort
and the moon beams showcasing wonder
as each silhouette faces peacefulness

the in betweens is for all to view for
sunrise to sunset are reflective risings
where illumination colours state of mind

How I begrudge the eyes of all these men:
  To whom the balcony has pledge in time,
An envy which befits this grasping vine
Whilst shaking its temptation joining them.
The far betweens of having found it hard
To cut it down in turn eludes this love,
That I, cannot indeed be before you guard
Whose arm is severed less from you above.
Then let it be, that new vines do exist
While futures' looking bright, I shall persist....

Define regularity.
Yes, thank you.
Regularity- that which is seen. But only in daylight. 
When the lights go out 
Rules follow quickly after, tripping
 On heels belonging to legs
Owned by logic.
Structure-
Though craved will not be sought.
The masses are dead, though some are only dying
Those babes sleeping in cradles of doubt
Hanging on in a short and silent time.

For that which cannot be bought.
Was once treasured but now forgot....

In this old house 
Dwell spirits 
Moving from here to there
Quickly and quietly
Without form
As to not disturb the air

Some spirits are of the living 
Some spirits are of the dead
From generations past
And from the future 
And from  in-betweens
They fare

The spirits move 
Into Walls and halls
Floors and doors
Windows
Looking out 
And looking in

For few outsiders can see them
Or know them
For when inside
They are out 
And when outside 
They are in...

There must be always
Room for wild and free humor
Laughing at ourselves...

We do cry enough
Trying to better ourselves
In this journeying

Living together
This magnificent planet
Manifesting dreams

Beyond what we know
All, curious, within dreams
Searching for what's real.

So the days do pass
Perhaps Nature too, learning...
Higher Self-being.

____*____

Find comfort in this
Skirting Chaos like we do...
Better than Nothing....

Good Grief! Would you just look at that! 
That elephant sat right on my new hat!
He belongs to the man who lives next door,
Says he bought him at an elephant store.
They have big ones, small ones, and in-betweens,
This one just happens to be bright green.
They have red ones, blue ones and some with spots,
They even have one with pink polka-dots!
As for my poor hat, guess I won’t have a fit….
I’ll just thank goodness I wasn’t in it!!!

Between here and there lies a thousand steps
Between 1 & 2 lies uncountable fractions
Between you and I lies 7 billion people
Between love and hate lies a couple of other emotions
Between friends and more than friends lies a little more love...
I've lived on in my moment between 
Hoping to never meet my end 
But that's just me and my wishful thinking
If everyone else would learn to live
In between moments...
Loss wouldn't have a face of her own...

The rain falls, 
Between these dark halls. 
It slides down, 
With a glistening beauty unknown. 
As These dim corridors seal me in, 
In With you and your silky skin. 
I try to conceal myself from you, 
But I can’t because you’re the one that makes my red heart feel blue. 
The one I see myself marrying with, 
And fading with. 
This isn’t a poem, 
It’s my heart speaking, and hoping a love between us will stem. 
Stem in betweens these darks halls that we roam....

The clean shirt and denim jeans
No more in-betweens, just me
No more hiding it inside
A rough ride, but I am free
Stepping out and coming out
Too long shouting in the dark
Today is it, can’t go back
Their flack belongs in the ark
Head high with pride, standing tall
It took my all to do this
The past is left far behind
It’s time to find what life is
No regrets, I’ve done all I can
And now it’s time to be a man

There is that momentary pause
 a second or two locked in hidden space,
 darkness, calling out from somewhere
 lapses of the uninhabitable reality
 in the in-betweens;
we cannot help but enter in
 escaping what lay behind
 what waits ahead
 all that haunts the now
 the blank void that is nullified;
the quiet stillness
 of emptiness here, 
 the chasmed abyss of nothing
 the journey into lost time
 over there, beyond.

Each snowflake falling on your face
A frozen raindrop is
Each one that lands upon your lips
A cool, refreshing kiss

From me to you though not in view
In spirit I am there
In thoughts and dreams and in betweens
I'm with you everywhere 

Think of me, our thoughts will meet
And hold hands in the sky
Somewhere up there beyond all care
We'll down a rainbow slide

And in a pot of gold we'll land
There's many a dubloon
Take them all, to me that's small 
You alone would be my boon...
