it happens in a wink,
and its gone time...
instinct, between the rhymes....Don
When I was young I was told
One day I would grow old
I did not think
This would pass in a wink
Now I treasure each moment like gold
mothers day pilot pam bass
feeling a bit bored and crass
flew east in a wink
right into the drink
losing her sons boarding pass.
summer was over in a wink
and dreams would get left behind
stranded and forgotten
that's just the way of it

Words unravel in the air
in a wink, no longer there
Not so telepathic communication
in heartfelt seeds ~ germination
above sea and dale
I wander the world in a wink –
mighty speed of mind.

Listen to poem:
One last breath
A life extinguished
All that’s left
Few things
Lasting memories
In an instant
The end
And suddenly
It’s over in a wink

this is the day
the culmination
of the waiting
the anticipation
the excitement
the hope
the dream
the drama
and in a wink
it’s over
a turning point
behind us
what now
hope

Listen to poem:
a lifetime
barely a wink
where have the years gone
and then again
seems so long ago
time has flown
dissipated in a wink
the sun now setting
on a full cycle
of seasons gone

The darkness in my room, I silently penetrated.
Everything, I could not see.
The light, I switched on
To find the darkness had evaporated in a wink.
On my bed, I sat and around, I glanced;
Mighty was the bright light
That vanquished the darkness,
Yet, still existed beyond my sight
Poem by Mugisho N Theophile
I love the kitchen window open at my sink
I do dishes, as summer breeze touches me in a wink
So quickly nothing feels like a chore
When looking through the window outdoors
Sunshine filters in the morning so bright
Lush green can be seen everywhere in sight
--- And everything is alright ---

Tried to bathe cat in my kitchen sink,
She ran out the back door in a wink!
Kitty, my kitty,you are bad.
Too much beer you indeed had!
Here you recline in public,very stoned.
Taking you home right now, to atone!
Like diamonds bathed in sun,
Islands in the
Caribbean call my name.
Kiss me with your sultry
Energy and charm.
There’s a beach bum waiting for me, with
Yellow hair bleached by the sun.
Such longing I feel, as he
Pulls me to paradise, where.
Love blooms at last.
If only in a wink-of-the-eye dream,
Tropical splendor is mine.

Thou airy ship, thou whitish mist!
Thou float on ocean and the dale
Thou art a painting by my Lord!
A painting which is not for sale
Thou sooth the hearts of all on earth
Thou heaths and meadows irrigate
Thy castle is in airy field
From earth and heaven isolate
O sailing boat, o shroud of earth
Thou child of sky and forlorn sea
Thou fly with gales soon after birth
O thou that in a wink can flee
Water, water everywhere
And all the dishes in sink.
Mud tracks smeared everywhere
Wiped away to return in a wink.
Food, food so much to make
Breakfast, lunch, supper.
Just diet, for God’s sake
Plus, you’re such a lousy tipper.
Heaps and heaps in the hamper
Sweaters, hoodies and jeans.
Every day it’s a damper
Walking into these monstrous scenes.
Inspired by the "ruined" first line of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
Form:
From Kindergarten through eighth grade
seems longer than Eternity
High School turns the corner in a couple years
the last two zoom by, like a frightened deer
College is a grind; you really have to think...
looking back you see -- it vanished in a wink
Your twenties and thirties may ebb and flow
it matters what you do and where you go...
They told me, 'Life begins at forty, sir'
~ Now I'm eighty; 'twas all a blur
There comes a phase in your life,
when everything looks beautiful,
you feel like you are the king,
who can conquer the whole world in a wink.
There comes a phase in your life,
when everything looks dark,
as if the whole world is harsh to you,
no matter how much you deny, it seems true.
There comes a phase in your life,
when everything works fine,
it feels like it's the beginning,
if not it feels like it's the end,
which one can't amend.
As Juliet
had felt remorse
upon the view
of Romeo’s corpse,
She took her life
to share with him,
a life of love,
set on the wind
Where for art thou,
destined bride?
From destined groom
you cannot hide
I’ll take you then,
I’ll win your love,
we’ll fly together
eternally above.
As Shakespeare penned
in Old English ink,
of love that’s shattered
in a wink,
He taught us that love
is so much more
than any love
we have felt before.
Winter’s morning brought a sight to the old woman’s eyes
It was a fairy riding a bunny, what a photographer’s prize!
She ran for her camera after seeing them from her kitchen sink.
But the second she aimed it, they were gone in a wink.
She tried to explain what she saw to her husband of course
Her enthusiasm was enormous, at least seven hands high.
He smiled at her and said “I would love to sell you an aqua horse”.
The bunny and fairy rose in the air and waved as they flew by.
