Short Gewgaws Poems

Listen to poem:

Doors are used to come and go,
To lock out and lock in

Doors ajar disquieting
Half-hearted gap foreboding
Door neither open nor shut is worrying

Do your doors ajar become you?
What do your doors say about you?
Do you care? Others do?

Because doors separate humans from apes
What's mine is yours without doors
Because laws outlaws gewgaws

Open your doors left ajar, to live an open life....

I thought I knew
What I was dreaming:

The night time walks
And daytime talks
The future pledged of seeing;

The midnight phone calls
And certain gewgaws
The heart defined of meaning;

The swapping letters
And evening ventures
No longer seem existed;

The solemn promise
The spirit noticed
Refined and all retracted.

But all seems false
And love seems vain
I have no words of truce,

I'll drudge myself
In scattered pieces
And paint them with my youth....
