Short Feb 2 Poems

Windy nights 
without you
This old heart 
begins to strew
I remember 
part of you

the waning sun
warms my face
shalom cloaks
the wells within

Ever since my lobotomy 
I buy tickets in the lottery, 
and the day that I win   
I'll be invitin' in 
everyone in my coterie.

Maxwell Smart and wisest Ninety-nine.
One is a boob, the other just fine.
1960’s fun,
Always on the run.
One is logical, other a whine.

Early morning she found him at three.
Like a deer caught in headlights was he.
His diet was broken.
His wife, now awoken,
Screamed, "AGAIN you are with Sara Lee!"

In this world of heartless consumption

waste of human life to the whipsaw;

never did so little mean so much

when one lonely deer in a field

saw you and you saw him

nothing else mattered...

as neither blinked.

Aroused, we succumb to naked flesh,

         skinny-dipping in the pools of our eyes.

               And synchronize our heartbeats with
 
    the opus of our souls.

Comment On Decency And Morality

This ole earth sets its unholy record
as sin is so often celebrated
The bad walk with chins and chest puffed out
streets danger from the inebriated.

Note; My friend Jimmy, died this last weekend due to his driving drunk.
A completely needless act....

The moon did not show 
up in the night sky
Rolling down to light my path
with a car beam
As the stars shone I walked alone
The whole world was fast asleep
An unkempt friend of mine 
Walked with me thoughts entwined
And asked to see the hidden world
I had lost within me.

last night I had a vision
I dreamt about my son
he wrapped his arms around me
and said I love you mom

but he had died some time ago
so how could this be true
yet he stood right in front of me
with tender eyes so blue

he was tall and handsome
his smile lit up the room
he brought a ray of sunshine 
to take away the gloom

as I awakened from my dream
tears falling to the floor
I knew he came to tell me
Mom weep for me no more

Summer’s over
fall gone past
the sun’s officially retired
gloom and doom
greyfulness
dreary days
the world is in decay
slowing down
finding time
for introspection
almost anxious
for a sprinkling
of the white stuff
till what joy again
when the sun
decides to bless us
with its gilded glow
