Twenty Twenty

He skated along
road little used,
except by butterflies -
he chased.
On his scooter, he raced.
Suddenly halting,
“Aww…he flied away!”

Heart Gardener

Carefully grow seeds
Blooming beautiful feelings
Ensconced as treasure
Halting zealous emotions
For the heart love conqueror

Hindsight

Listen to poem:
Hindsight is foresight's foe
Heralding woe betides
Halting the hoodwinking
Haunting the present tense
Hanging regrets in caches
Hype, hope dashed by failures
Holding you back, abjure!

Heaven

Head and heart misaligned
Happiness is denied
Halting the flow of thought
Horrors spawned by mind die
Honing silence with bliss
Hunger for God’s touch grows
Heaven’s light dawns within

Caring Voice

A soft calming voice Caring Truly cares Whispered my way Caressing my lobes - With delightful sounds of her voice My body soothed and calm - halting the darkness inside

July

Death Is here, At the door With boiling arms And macabre charms To lend a gnarly hand And escort my life away, On an exclusive one-way trip Through July hell ‘til it sheds its grip, Halting when through the Pearly Gates I slip.

Incoherent Ramblings

incoherent ramblings 
of an emotionally scared
heart that is 
hesitant to jump back
into the emotional 
deep end 
halting encounters 
in order to protect 
the heart from 
further injury 
is now were the 
line has been drawn 
within the sands of 
time

Rime Couee-The Old Artist

The old artist embraced squallor,
resisting riches, halting ardor;                                                            
his large paintings remained indoor.
With dust on their canvas,
the images started to lose their color...
as his tears flowed across.

Another horse coming

At the crossroad,time ago
A galloping horse knocked down me hard
My world askew.
Today I walk with halting stride
On the rough road where trouble hide
With crutch in hand  going slowly.
Yet swaying and flowing another horse
is seen galloping towards me.

In the Dark All Thoughts Look Gray

outside my dark windows 
in sickly yellow streetlights 
I see walkers with small support wheels 
and halting wheelchairs 
fight their way across the pedestrian 

but here 
with only the standby light from the stereo 
I see clearly my crutches dance 
in the hallway

Starlight

Sensual heavenly bodies
Tempting man to risk it all
Answer to a lovers dream
Reclining under with moonbeams
Light years away they do shine
Immittting wave lengths our eyes blind
Great excitement when one falls
Halting me in my steps to stare 
Total darkness shows them all

Midnight

Midnight
©June, 2014


Meandering off to a peaceful sleep,
I have a plethora of dreams.
Daffodils hurled into the bottomless deep,
Night is too short it seems.
Instantly awakened with a rush,
Gathering strength for the fray,
Halting as quickly with a hush,
The dreams have flown away!

Abgestossen 'Detached'

Heavy Heart slow to beat,
As the whispers come hastily,
all but halting cold feet

Only lifetime's distraught, wretched spell shall she speak,
steadfast cries in the moonlight,
Wolves howl in late heat

Still standing alone,
not one tear shall break under 
this sweet child's face, 
smiling throu cold encumber

Halting By

You, stirring me in the head 
Like a warm current 
Flowing With the glimmering light 

I, seeing the passers-by 
Hurrying to and fro 
Along different roads 

You and I, coming across 
As fast as flashes in course 

But we must admit: 
Humans differ from other lives 
By making memorize 
That always recollects

Joy Inside Your Soul

J-oy inside your soul
I-s erasing the blue; 
M-ay fifth Friday morn
M-akes sadness far from
Y-ou.

S-heer joy in your soul
I-s eliminating the gray; 
N-o sign of tears is found, 
G-lee has brightened the day.
C-heer that your birthday brings is halting the rainfall; 
O-pen your heart and feel the joy inside your soul.

Dead-End Life

Pride in my body Wonder in my thoughts Living my life While the rest of the world rots Molding my life From my distant past Growing up and aging Entirely too fast Catching up with life Laid in riddles Musically requited By out-of-tune fiddles Sinister blockage Halting my life Dead-end silence Like a sharpened knife

Words Kill

I knew these halting words were coming,
so why are they still so numbing?
I expected them this whole time,
so why does it still feel like a violent crime?
Like your words pierced deep like a knife,
and piece by piece my heart ripped to shreds.
Like your words were an attempt on my life,
and I was abandoned and left for dead.

Poltergeist

People and places like thread
Over and under, sewing your head
Leaking and squeaking
Thrilling and peeking
Elements of illusion
Rebounds with delusion
Grumbling in your ears
Ending and halting heartbeat in tears
Intermittent noises of the unseen
Souls playing around when clock strikes at thirteen
Touching you and me in grim

Between the Lines

I lost myself between the lines Between the forces of you all My lack of vocabulary stings And makes me humble and sad I wish to make this language mine And write my singing lines with flow But sometimes it hurts, this Being me, the halting lyrics Of my stumbling tongue The pain of almost but not just Belonging here

Crap Format

Long wanders across hills
Expiring - Three of my steps were one of my Dad's 
Halting will

Refuelling near
Banks brandished fennell freely had 
Revered

Herb young
Stung by green glad 
Tongue

Washed down with water swills
Sweaty bunch became invalid
Flung

Exam

The sun sails along 
So does the needle
Meninges they burn
Figuring out the riddles 

Coals into the diamond turns  
Not in a million years 
Inside a volcanic eruption burns
Igniting all the fears 

Slowly consuming the dull mind
It kills away your brain 
Halting the way you cram
That’s the way its comes my friend 
The scary thing you call exam

Hampered Together

Rust coats the wheels 
beyond appeals;
our halting grind
shall carve behind
the truth of life
shed on their knife.

We’ve laid to waste
by slack and haste
all blessings grown
once called our own
by trusting lies
from fraud’s disguise.

While they juggle
our dire struggle
with childish toys
cranking out noise,
trapped souls despise
each conscious prize.

The Family Reading Room


The reading skills of many men
it’s said, would improve significantly
in the “reading room” when seated 
with the printed page, and facilitate
that daily regularity most needed
to prevent stubborn constipation
with an easy smooth evacuation
much less improve or alleviate
a halting grunting vocabulary.
To what extent he has success
that is anyone's guess.

Synonymous

I am everyone at once

Mass conformity of the perplexed individual
The ticking second hand of the 'click' cliche
Incapable of halting time to discover the tangible self

I am everyone at once 

Cast as various creatures
Poles apart
Ticking on
Second by second
Minute to minute
Crowd to crowd
Restless without end
Ill at ease within my own chameleon skin

I am everyone at once

Unfair

They tell you that life’s an obnoxious blare, 
And you can’t mend the situation.
There’s no point in stopping ruination
 Or halting any stigmatization.
That is just it; life is plainly unfair.

Even if life always seems unfair,
Its joyous aspects must not be lost.
One day, every frau meets her herr.
And although we all have to pay the costs, 
A bridge to happiness can still be crossed.
