Short Khalil Poems

Blip

This is a short poem. 
Not a long one like the rest. 
(not haiku)
This is about time, 
and saying a lot in a small space.
Updates to follow.
Be quiet... (calm)

Yesterday

We 
that can remember
keep-alive
those that have been forgotten,
in the small room,
the place in our hearts,
where God 
plants the best flowers,
and no tears…
fall....

Longing

Little mermaid on the rock, 
Wishing and wondering, 
What it would be like, 
just to walk?

Little girl in a chair, 
riding around on wheels of air…
Wondering; what it is like… to feel?...

Singing birds emerging.
Pretty flowers are blooming.
Rabbits are hopping.
In spring things start living.
Nests of eggs are cracking.
Gardens are now growing.

925

They are pure silver, 
and have no idea. 
They are humble and kind, 
pray for each other, 
and welcome strangers.

Yet polished or aged, 
vintage of freshly fired, 
the address is the same.

Grief

God gave me an angel, 
a wife, 
a helpmate.
I had no idea the worth of that gift, 
bestowed upon my unworthy life.

Regret has nothing to do 
with the sister of joy.  
Loss is the little brother, 
of the spoiled....

"V"irus now controlling the world.
"I"n every home changes are coming.
"R"un to the store to get what you need.
"U"se peace not fear to escape the stress.
"S"un rises, sun sets with more deaths each day.

Whisper
 
A subtle current,
a fierce expression,
of a gentle feeling, 
wild,
powerful, 
no longer held contained 
by any restraint. 
 
Not weak, as may be expected, 
but the very difference...
between life and death. 

Listen....

My Best 
"She is a flower..."

Pink roses, 
not the big ones, 
not the small ones, 
not the buds or full blooms. 
No. 
Not one of them. 

All of them!

Pick them fresh, 
and make a bouquet, 
that I can take to my friend, 
on her special day....

Reader Rabbit

Toward the end of a book,
we tend to speed up, 
in anticipation of the climatic finish. 

Yet sadly, 
the build-up...
was the part we savored, 
on the perfect path
to the right...
final, 
and everlasting
word(s).

The beginning....

In the cold space,
between the ceiling and the rafters, 
angels drift like butterflies, 
ever answering the calls, 
of both hope and sorrow! 

A mother's song, 
a father's whisper. 
A loved one lost, and one born.
Close to heaven and ever nearer to hell....

The Map Undrawn

Written in the snow, 
by angels...
made from the bodies,
of the innocent. 

The way to heaven... 
is seen, 
fleeting in its passing, 
like a dream. 

Unquestioned,
by the faithful.
Celebrated,
by the hopeful, 
ever thankful.

His mercy!
Prayerful,
and diligent
the remnant remain....

Filial Child 

Halfway to heaven, 
so thrilled to be saved.
My life, 
changed forever.
Filled with your spirit,
wrestles to serve. 

On fire…
in the night,
running through the streets, 
until I fall… before You.

Dancing for My Lord, 
To a music that has always been, 
and will forever be, 
echoed in all men’s souls....

Your plump love I can't wait to 
see 
It's decadent.. And always, 
lustfully waiting for me 
Hug me and hold me close 
against your bodacious body. 
Big and round. That's why I call 
you my hotty 
It is Your plump love I 
can't wait to see
When you arrive home tonight 
I'll be waiting, 
with a ring, 
patiently on one knee.

I
Think - but don't make THINKING "your aim" -
"Don't look too good ... or lose common touch"
I learned from past masters, one name
Is Kipling. Khalil Gibran. Thanks. Much!

II
He called defeat his "bold companion," 
To be understood "is to be leveled," without
"Defeat, My Defeat," he owned loss & gain;
Life & death. Prepared to dig graves within...

Distance Squared

The speed of light
is exactly how fast
my heart sends;
every prayer, 
every good thought, 
every perfect wish! 

The bright candle between us, 
it is the sun itself. 
 
The solar wind fills the sails
of my forever ship, 
longing to journey to you. 

Mermaid, 
sunfish, 
nova
eclipse, 
the moon is full, 
and I am lost in space....

Butterflies around,                                                                                  
angels surround.
Fly little butterfly,
did you just go by.
Fly to the angels near you,
with your wings of blue.
Come near to me,
please do not flee.

Fading Paper Dolls

Slowly leaving things out, 
important and then, 
not so much. 

Angry people that believe 
they are slighted, 
or given less value, 
found wrong...
as those closer
get lost as well. 

Getting older, 
accidents or fate...
our memory, 
our remembrances,
our lives, 
the sum of...

Taken to heaven,
 in our hearts,
 if not fully remembered,
 in our minds....

Oh gossip where is your sting,
you are here today and hurting others for days to come.
Oh gossip how shy you are,
pretending to say nothing to anyone.
Oh gossip to say and to hear can't you just go away,
go away and don't hurt others anymore any day.
