Short Laugh Away Poems

Forget your dreams
and wash away feelings
and put all hope
to eternal rest.
Erase happy memories,
learn to not remember,
and think no more
of sun filled days.
Laugh away tears,
lose your sane ideas,
and stop wishing for
lack luster fun....

friend cracks a naughty joke
our overgrown tummies split and burst in laughter
cannot poke

laugh away blues
godsend happiness thereafter
pink hues

let go
be a rafter
ho!!

friend cracks a naughty joke
godsend happiness thereafter
ho!!...

I remembered being on a bus with my dad today
Passing an old decrepit man out jogging and I began to giggle
To which my father retorted laugh away 
At least he is competing whereas you are merely commentating
Glued to the bench last out the trench...

Engulfed in whispers
spoken by the wind,
we sought to answer.
The sky laughed at us
and pulled up our words.

These long ropes hang
from silver stars,
contain our love,
and light the night.

Laugh away
frigid sky
while you freeze.

We are
more than

words......

I am still awake
Before the break of dawn

Cause I’ve got a light
Even when the sun is gone

I share it with a friend
Who has not a clue

That while the city sleeps
We should be too

Instead we laugh away
Till the morning will come

And so I ask myself
Am I manic or dumb?...

Love is a distant silence;
Engulfing all in its guidance,
A paradise lost in subsidence.

As the will of the stars,
Enlightening each on whom it befalls, 
Enticing one as it calls.

Bestowing life along sensually, 
Two to laugh away carelessly,
To fall without care unconditionally.

Sunrise across the river, laughter going through my head, 
I don't know what become of you, just a laugh away from, 
Some of the things you said. I can hear the river roar. 
Rocky mountain river, saw through a vocal score. 
Late mournings hours with only the days heat to gain, 
Watching, listening to Mother Earth play her games. 
Seeing the day before me, remembering you this way, 
Calms my upset unsettled thoughts that started my day....

Peace and quiet and dignity.


Bring me peace, tranquillity
With seagulls skimming silent sea
Lapping waves that softly flap
I will have a piece of that

Not for me the noise of town
But rocks of grey and sand of brown
Soft breeze that blows through petticoat
And pushes gently sail boat

To sit and speak and laugh away
I will take this any day
It will be time to go home soon
Back to the drudginous and gloom

Of City life....

hush! my little child, be patient don't behave so wild
destroy those negativity from your mind,
remember the word compassionate
be kind,
perish your faith from fears
diminish your heart-breaking eyes from tears
you are loved
surely, there is someone who cares
laugh away with joy
imagine that baby boy, playing with his toy 
forget that you are nervous
stay calm,
stay humble,
demolish your lost hope
close your mouth, don't grumble.

Live a little laugh sometimes
Fall into the summertime
Brush it off laugh away
Tears and fears and smears of blood
Dreaming hoping waiting wishing
Make it stretch a little more
Make it through another day
Pinch and poke and primp and stretch
Separate not and enough
Listen but don't speak your mind
Smile always smile girl
Don’t look so sad all the time
They don’t understand
You aren’t the sum of your parts
The geometric anomaly of life...
