Drive away my plight...

The rains
are so dreary
Spring is lagging behind
waiting for Sol to drive away
drizzles....

This world seems like dystopia
Come my love my utopia 
Drive away my insomnia
Drive away my inertia
I have left old Arabia
You are my Abyssinia  
You are my love’s sweet mania
Conquer my heart’s whole area...

Drive for freedom
Drive,
For a peace of mind

You’ll only find,
Once you’re out,
Out there

Air 
Seems so real
When my nostrils
Flare
And I feel the
Flow into my chest

Let’s hope for the best,
And drive,
Drive away....

Sit and watch, and wait and see.
For one day you shall belong to me.

Whisper or yell, it does not matter.
I will always hear your voice above the clatter.

Walk or run, or drive away.
For you will be back with me someday.

I drive away now
as if it's not even real
just making another memory
I need the day
where it will never end
and just lay like this that forever
The weeks we have
make it closer to the years
we'll have together
for now
just give me another memory...

Every time I drive away  
Harry stops to see  
and though I've not gone long 
I know he's missing me 

I want my boy to live forever 
to be home when I arrive 
trophy winning quarter horse
with Harry by my side

A fifteen year old boy
Wakes up in a warm 
Bed
After a night of hanging out with
Friends
thinking
“damn,”
“ I have school today”

A five minute drive away
A boy no older than
Fourteen
Awakes in a card board box
Smiling, thinking,
“I'm still alive.”

This is not an illusion....

Baby where you been
Come on in
You say you are not going to stay
You are leaving me
I cant believe it
You're walking away
I didn't see it coming
What went wrong
Where did the love go
Was it me
Or was it you
I hear your car back out
And drive away
You can hear my heart breaking
In the roaring silence...

A month of blue skies and bright sun light,
U ntil summer paves way and autumn tints come to greet. 
G usts of wind blow to drive away summer heat.
U mpteen thrills, at the beach side, await.
S trolling in the evenings brings much delight.
T rees, bearing flowers and fruits is an uplifting sight....

It was four in the morning
when he entered the 7-Eleven
and pointed at the cash register.

A middle-aged woman
hands over a pile of dollars.

He tells her: “My name is Jesus – follow me.”

She checks her makeup.
He waits patiently for her in the parking lot.

They drive away in a beat-up truck
hauling gardening tools....

Just get in the car
Let's drive away
To somewhere really far
Where night meets day

When we run out of gas
That's where we'll stay

I can't stand this place
Nor can you
We'll leave without a trace

We can start new lives
Like people in the movies do

Please just take my hand
Together we'll flee
Together we will stand
Runaway with me...

You take the words right out of my mind
A poet like you is now hard to find
You make me smile you make me cry
You make me think you make me try
You make me sing you make me dance
In joy sorrow and wild romance
You give me new hope and inspiration
You help me to drive away frustration
You show me the way to win heart
You are always state-of the-art...

Driving all alone
into pitch black nothing
Inside feeling empty
like this lonely highway
He tries to drive away
from all his problems
but they always follow him
everywhere he goes
There’s a deep sick feeling
inside his gut
and he’s running out of gas
inside his pickup truck
Nothing to lose
but nothing to gain
All of his attempts
are made in vain...

Hands wound and mend,
Perform and let loose,
Embrace and drive away.

Your hands draw me close,
Warm the deepest threads of my soul,
And quench my most thrilling desires.

My hands nestle themselves
Into the soft, handsome foliage
That decorates my only sanctuary.

Our hands weave in and out
Of every curve and delicate space
Within each of our eager bodies....

The power of poetry
to drive away love
A surrogate impostor
indentured above
Whether spoken or written
its message the same
All feelings imprisoned
in words that explain

When waxing poetic
the birds and the trees
Laughing not with you
but at you it seems
Intention enamored
from rhyme to blank verse
With hearts on the run
—and heaven to curse

(Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: May, 2023)...

Attention all
Love is the key
Love in you will drive away darkness
Love in you will walk your ways
Love in you will shine your drive
Love in you will arrive for you
Love in you will conceive seeds
Love in you will divert disasters
Love in you will dread your enemies
Love in you will drive away fear
Love in you will achieve drastic win
Love in you will work winnowing weaknesses
Love you 		
Love
Lord...

The meds should be working by now…
They are but,
I still drink coffee all night to drive away the nightmares.
The meds are working, I trust them.
I told the doctor, and he is evil.
Burning, and tingling, and restless.
They are working so well.
I sleep once in a while.
Some people say it’s not enough.
I take my meds every day.
I don’t believe in the placebo effect.
I believe in the power of medication....

My goddaughter searched
A sight on line found
Puppies from a farm
A short drive away

The puppies lined up
To see what to choose
Two females one male
A hard choice to make
She chose the male dog

My goddaughter has 
One female and male cat
When they met the dog
The female greeted
The male ran upstairs

He was so angry
He hid in the room 
His feelings hurt
The puppy was there
A puppy to to stay...

Try to be very very wise 
Make this world like a paradise 
Drive away darkness make sunrise 
Make your mind holy and so nice 
Don’t be greedy please compromise 
With sympathy please fill your eyes 
Love is the power of good guys 
Please be patient or pay the price 
Try to vanish all’s tears and sighs
In other’s hearts your true joy lies 
Sing this song before music dies 
Dance in joy like the butterflies...

Tinkling, twinkling, violin picking, harp stringing, 
 light the blue sky, the snow on rocky cliffs
 the heaviness of his lies weigh like the rocks
 on a cold empty hill in winter 
 the sounds thick and sticky
 how the tinkling violin strings call out
 the harps lightness raises my heart 
 and lightens the heaviness of his  
 spiteful soul stinging, while hearing News
 twinkling sounds drive away his angry darts...

Walked out this morning
to snow on the road
brushed off the truck
engaged the four-wheel-drive

driving to work
the roads weren't bad
parked in the lot
and walked inside

out in the warehouse
sitting on the fork
looking at the floor
and thinking of L. A.

A palm tree grew
out in the yard
Disneyland was
a short drive away

sometimes I wish
I'd never left
could be on the beach
just watching the waves...

Do

Walk away
Fly away
Ride away
Drive away 
Run away
Swim away
Float away

From any situation that harms you in any away.
Weather it be from a bad relationship
From nagative people
Toxic people
Shootings
Debt
fire
Rape

Just get away from it,by any means possible.
There is always something better waiting 
When the storm passes.
Just take a breathe 
Gather yourself
Be ready for a new beginning.

Standing still
   as if frozen
She watched them
    drive away

Their visit time   so short
with little   sharing talk
   just ‘gotta go, gotta go’
   and so they did. 

She stood looking
   after them 
   for some time, 
   lingering she did,
watching the empty road
long after  they passed  
   out of sight.

Stood so still
so very   quiet still
  as if frozen
but for a tear   leaking
   from a sad
   sad eye....

There are best friends.
And then there are boyfriends.
Why is it that boyfriends always come between best friends?
I see all the time how a guy can break up a friendship that has lasted almost a 
whole 
life.
A guy is a guy.
There are tons of them.
But there only a few people that you can call a best friend.
So don't let boyfriends drive away your best friends.
Because overall,
a best friend will stay longer than a boyfriend....
