Every morning
two Canadians fly by
honking their hellos....

Tempus fugit - Time Flies
    No time for hellos
    No time for good-byes
      Busy, busy, busy, busy...

   If so, the purpose of life
      must be to stay dizzy...

Like it never happened,
we greet each other with
hugs and hellos.
I see you with mutual
friends;
we drive in
separate cars:
acquaintances.
Stuck between loves,
two halves of an unmade
sandwich,
that no one wants
to eat....

say your hellos
i'm prespiring
look at those

eyes combined
with your lips
all you have

is just
smile 
and my

frost drips off
as if in a droll
you rescued me

my saint bernard
cheers to a sip of
that which i drink

i'm drunk...

 A Bowl of Soup

friendship hails      around the orb    freewheeling in virtual space.

a hullabaloo of hellos,    unique argonauts of rhythm and verse.

shedding skins,    sharing losses and wins,   a bowl of soup....

Hello

I saw goodbyes
Standing still
No window sills
No next day
Then
I saw Hellos
Lined up to stare
No step tomorrows
No sorrows still
There
It’s Hello and
Goodbyes
So stand still
See window wonders
Signs that will
Sigh a goodbye
Until

Hello

From twenty feet I saw him
when he first looked at me
I really took his breath away.

He looked at me as if he had
seen me in his dreams a thousand times.

We exchanged 'Hellos.'
He remains a mystery.

Still
it was a nice
pleasant surprise
and I saw it
with my own eyes....

Nothing, nothing is vain until the fog has lifted 
I have been brave, whom did you love? 
I left her standing next to the morning originality 
Adrift in the country in mild astonishment 
Chanel paintings, magazine oils, and museums  
Recognize mundane hellos 
The pen and the writer...

Without the lows,
There’d be no highs.
Without hellos,
No sad goodbyes.

Without disease,
No joy in health.
With hunger’s pleas,
A quest for wealth.

Without a war,
There’d be no peace.
What comes before
Inspires release.

We cannot rise
From down below
To claim a prize
We did not know....

The great unknown,
an ocean away.
Goodbyes and hellos
all in one day.

Traveling dreamer,
searching for peace.
Freedom at last,
a hopeful release.

The journey continues,
new stories are made.
Free to feel joy,
chains of debt paid.

A story is written,
each day a new page.
Full speed ahead
into a new age....

hello, my name is
Something you won't need to know
Good morning to you
Whereas you say the same to me
Hola, me llamo
Lo! It is a secret
Bonjour, je mappelle
Nothing, it is still a secret
Shalom, shalom
well, same to you
My name is a secret,
Something you won't need to know,
 So hello to you too....

One hundred hellos
can't heal one goodbye
close your eyes
don't try
please rest 
and accept time. 
closed eyes will say
"these clocks never lie."
happy taken away
is the same as
goodbye.
don't say that here!
say "Hi!" 5 times.
try to not cry,
at night
when the sun dies
and in the morning 
watch the sunrise
with the apple of your eye....

winter
greetings
on a breeze
straight from
North Pole

cordial 
hellos
and 
jolly tidings

deep from
within
the heart
warmest
wishes
for 
joyful
merriment

cheerful
guttural
wholesome
belly laughs

come on
over
for
cookies
and
hot chocolate

The sky is Gods way 
of saying hello

Each and every day
this you must know

Along with the flowers
and with the trees

He says hello 
across the seas

So if you listen
with each passing day

To the hellos you hear
along the way

You'll find it's these precious things
that bring you the happiness
you think money brings!...

my love 
my hates
us lovers our debates
I open my eyes then they close,
god is the only one who knows
I will cry for you, I will die for you 
I will open my heart and lie for you

I will sleep, I will weep
if I need you, you'll know
my truths
my lies
my hates 
my strives
our hellos when were together
when were apart they are the good-byes...

I lie heavy burdened knowing; I’ll not see her again.
So I make believe the rain now falling;
To be the tears of joy the angels cry;
For their newest joining of an angel
      And I remember that a storm blew;
      The night I put my father to rest;
      And I think I chose to believe for me;
      In winters storms; loved ones send their hellos....

I’m Free To Fly 

No ifs. No ands, No buts. No whys.
No laughter.  No tears.  No hellos or goodbyes
Peace has been made with the regrets of the  past.
With a sigh of relief, I’ve made it at last. 
I know where I’m going and where I have been. 
No more questions a new life to begin.
No ifs. No ands. No buts.  No whys.
With burdens laid down, I’m free to fly...

Counterfeit smiles
Insipid hellos
Crossing paths
Destination known
Nobody has names
Just competing clothes
Glaring past glances
A forlorn flow
Stumbling off sidewalk
Onto crumbling street
Yet another sidewalk
Heads without feet
Lost to crowds
Blanched in between
Ponderous pedestrians
Rising steam
Tethered tomorrows
Skyscraper seams
Falling faces
Concrete dreams...

Watching the moon is nice and exciting,
It brings joy, smile, and sparkle to the eyes,
The light above is truly inviting,
The bright stars say hellos before goodbyes,
Offering shine like the glow of sunrise.
Gazing at the moon during lovely night
Is like looking at a beautiful sight,
Woes and throes vanish into oblivion,
The circle face above sets things aright,
As the nature lovers pay attention....

Old chapters
New chapters
Page by page
Day by day
Dawn to dusk

Different shades
New faces

Tears of joy
Mourning
Happiness 
Sadness

Another day and i still flip the pages
Till i get to the last one
Visions of the last frog
End of this book

Start another of two as one
Visions of prince
hand in hand

Each day, page by page
Down memory lane...
