Short Compensations Poems

I sometimes forget advancing years
Then a reminder blindsides me
Senior discounts, free Tuesdays
Sad eyes in my mirror
Daily aches and pains
Compensations?
Little voice
Love you

What doesn't thrills me,
it doesn't conquer me...
which doesn't lift me up,
vaccinates me against...
What makes me feel fine,
feeds me...
what harms me,
  I leave it behind,
and throw it away... !...

These are not donations
But only my frustrations
From working all workstations
Yet no compensations
For Calais formations
From all my creations
Confrontations leads
To my deviations
Exclamations 
In need a vacation
I feel vibrations
Cause my expectations
Is I meet expectations...

Listen to poem:

From Falling Light
David J Walker

In the fading light of evening
Falling stars come calling

As we seek the compensations 
of  quiet companionship 

in the garden growing
in gracious surroundings

where sitting and saying nothing
is a treasured conversation 

of a lavish silence between the Us
that is our understanding

of the forever of our
lives together

when you turn to say
It’s time to come in darling

And I follow you...

The Young and the Still 22/7-2011


Walk softly now 
on the green lawn of sorrow. 
Too many tears shed
may turn it into a maudlin
Hollywood quagmire;
and make grief a way of life. 
Open wounds fester and turn
into an anger against oneself.
First the blame game,
then demand for compensations.
But there is not enough
money in the world which 
can heal broken hearts 
So let go now and let millions 
of roses celebrate survivors
as we remember the dead fondly....
