Jack's Tale 2

This is not the end of Jacks tale
He soon found a love to sail
He’d come upon a shore
Help those who were poor
Knowing with love he could never fail

Whose

we've a crazy
bull frog in our
pond for when

you come upon
our pond to take
a peek or a look

see he doesn't 
startedly leep

he
ever
so slowly
sinks like an
alligator in his pond

Untimely Admission

What am I doing here again?
I promised I would be gone,
But the muscle fibres beat and pull me back.
It will soon come upon,
So all I can do is lay on track,
and your forlorn look will break my heart.

Busy Beaver

If I should come upon a beaver,
I would be inclined to leave her,
There, busily working on her dam.
Because I've seen her cut a tree,
And if I make her mad at me,
I might wind up much shorter than I am.

A Peaceful Heart

Its double have I
Come upon.
Its meek-moulded one
For this hut.

Quietly resigned.
Low-lying.
Shakes, squirms not eying
World, ogrish.
With breast out, brutish
Does for peak
Rumbling, stormed o'er bleak
Always jut.

With Each Discovery

"O those!" Simply do sigh the old
And sense-dulled, among us.
Of wonder a revelation
We newly come upon.

To be bottled, placed in a book
Tadpole; dry pressed flower.
"Earth things". But whose worth's magic
Is, boy, girl-eyed cosmic!

A Rabbit's Habit

If you should come upon a rabbit,
And you think you'd like to grab it,
Then, you'd better move with utmost care, because,
If the rabbit finds you frightening,
It will take off, quick as lightning,
And you'll find there's nothing, where the rabbit was.

The Stage of Life

hopefulness lessons  
desire decreases 
lack of willingness rises 
creating a scene of great
indifference to come upon the
screen of the mind's eye 
re-playing the past 
re-playing the present 
rehearsing for the future 
standing upon the stage of life

Premium Member No Longer Together-Loving

No longer loving

may heaven come upon us
there is only animosity
to forever decay
to forever loathe
to forever drift

maybe one day...
Love again will come our way
Together

Bringing My Shadow Home

Sometimes, when sitting alone,
 I feel your lightness come upon me

Watching my shadow run
toward the brightness of your smile

And like a child,
 lost again for the first time

I am carried away in your moment,
—as you bring my shadow home

(Strafford Pennsylvania 1976: 2nd Anniversary to Kathy)

Fields of Death

In flanders fields,
The fields of woe,
The moon shine down,
Upon our foe.

The wars at end, 
A truce we've come upon,
The light goes dim,
And the morn will dawn.

In fanders fields 
When poppies die
The grave of dead
Soon will lie

More fall to death 
The dead has grown
In flanders fields
The fields alone

Premium Member Walk softly Ode to my walking stick

Loyal companion carved from a sturdy oak.
This eternal gratitude will never be revoked.
You've been there for me more then
some human folk.
I think I may be in love with you and that is no joke.
Please stay by my side until the day I croak,
if perchance we come upon a very nasty bloke,
I will turn you upside down and give him a poke!

Premium Member Empty Rooms

Empty Rooms

Aloneness may become an immense -  empty room,
from which loneliness can come upon us – much to soon
on the heels of to much -  involved aloneness ! 

This I have come to know, intimately – I must confess,
to touching the fringes of, from time to time,
as can be seen, coming out in my attempts at good rhyme.

The Last Thing

Have I come upon my worst fear
When you would be gone, and I would be here
Have I lost this fight I was trying so hard to win
If I had to go back, would I even let this begin
I say, I say, October twenty-ninth 
A number that revolves around my life
A day, I cannot forget, it went so slow
I held on to you, and whispered in your ear, don't let go

Follow

Sometimes I follow faded stars
Like empty houses
Deserted bars

Sometimes I seek out tired skies 
And follow them
With tired eyes

Sometimes I fall i to the mists
And they embrace me
Coldest kiss

There is no end im guided on
Through dark lost places
I come upon

And there is comfort in this grey
I've become a ghost
And here I'll stay

Strawberry Bandits

The furry band of thieves crawl in the night,
wielding Zorro masks and sly grins,
soundless in single file,
under fences and through prickly bushes,
the little ones straggling in back,
they come upon their spoils,
ripe and red for the taking,
juices flow down their chins,
a light has flooded the crime,
their last bites taken,
fleeing satisfied

Retribution

Rising from the shallow graves
Illuminated by moon’s glow
Spirits awaken to misbehave
To get revenge from long ago

She was sent to an early death
Deprived of opportunity
Translucent yet not lacking breath
From death she has impunity

Her ghostly tale will be passed on
In whispers carried in the breeze
Whomever she may come upon
Will be transformed by what they see

Waterfall

There’s nothing like a waterfall
To make you stop and stare
And give yourself some credit
For the fact that you are there.

To come upon one naturally 
Would be a great surprise,
But mostly, people seek out
What’s been seen by prior eyes.

Still, to watch the water gushing
As it tumbles down its course
Is to realize those who miss it
Should be flooded with remorse.

One Existent Reality

In seeking to find inner peace.
The chains of pain that won't release.
Seeking freedom with certainty,
In One existent reality.

The quest continues in the night,
Searching the corners for the light.
I come upon Him with surety,
In One existent reality.

Though struggles always ensue. 
The One I've found is surely true.
Life is now filled with eternity,
In One existent reality.
