Short Gladsome Poems

Gershon's got gifts galore,
genius goldenager, greatly gladsome,
gives grand grammar guidance,
granting grandeur of gem verses,
glows galaxies, glitters gardens,
golly, gosh, word goldsmith glorious!...

Peaceful is the dusk
When snow is softly falling
And ruby sun's just faded

Snowy hills beckon
to eager ones, sledding soon
in the gladsome days of youth!

There are darksome days
Those storms we all must ride
But the greatest storm of all
Is the monster tucked inside.

It brings out the worst in you
When sullen days would creep
Its like a raging storm reposing
In a gladsome heart so deep. 

Only in moments to come alive
When emotions tough  are grind
But its hard to tame the fires
Of a proud and monstrous mind....

Such union tastes now like ambrosia sweet,
this oneness we share while our lives remain.
Now my love, speak anew for time is fleet,
repeat your promise, gladsome oath's refrain.
Ah Specter, deign not evil toward this twain,
but keep away Grim Reaper, shade of night.
Fortuna, may it be that we obtain
from basket, thy fruit ever lasting right:
thus hoping we remain esteemed in thy good sight....

Anxiously waiting 
With the patience of Job
Year after year
Every turn of the globe
I wait to be next
Feeling gladsome
Next to be able to say 
The time has come
So many before me
So many to come
Marching the same beat
But to a different drum
As long as it takes
I’ll wait to be next
Though at times it seems
My efforts be vexed
I’m somewhat perplexed
But not hexed 
Just... 
Waiting to be next.
