Short Maynard Poems

John Maynard Keynes 
told us the means 
to flourish our economy.  
So, hurry up; somebody, please, hire me....

Common nature born in we share
our teeth become the spear
we all put her in that chair

He never left, for she was considered like Job

All our sins we sing
like carnal lies, only sorrow
can ignorance bring


Inspired by Maynard James Keenan...

There are drops on the grass,
each one blue green,
like the sea,
with light moving,
the way a song takes you over,
plays words on your Soul like spring rain,
bending the blades,
in tune, 
in time,
like the one I love,
unfolded and discovered. 

E.G. Maynard.

That frightened Child
With the woman's eyes 
Felt a dread
She could not disguise; 
She asked, "Oh Lord,
What have I done
For you to beckon
One so young?"
The Lord answered,
"You have no sin. 
A special place lies within
My arms for you. 
I gave you wings
My cherished one;
Spread them now...
And come. "...

The Poet was wasted. 
Like leftovers after lunch.  

A plate of wilted salad. 
A half eaten burger, soggy with ketchup.
A cold limp fry. 

He wanted someone to pay attention. 
Savor, digest and appreciate him.  

But they spat him out, 
cleared the plates, 
and threw him in the dumpster. 

E.G. Maynard. 
46 & 2.

Wasted rays from a sun cast in August
Wasted blessing if i am honest
Wasted thoughts delusions of grandeur 
Wasted words on good moral manner
Wasted shelter found in my arms
Wasted love i meant you no harm
Wasted stitches this heart will not mend
It's always been broken why pretend
I wasted a lot
Almost wasted away
Your heart so jaded 
I thought love would sway

The poets muse 
Is a whispered lie
Grains of sand
Fragments of time
Lingering love
Fateful kiss
Love once true 
Soon will be missed
This tattered heart bleeds 
Broken it's torn
From woman's anger 
To hatreds scorn
One mindful moment 
An empty soul
The part that's played 
A walk-on role
Love once showered 
Now lies in wait
Held in silence 
For no one to take

There was a time when Movie
and Star went together: “Grand Old Flag”,
“Yankee Doodle Dandy” and so on. 
Hollywood, at the time, far less Commie – 
not entirely overrun by Political Bias, 
Social Snobbery. About the same time, 
a child lost or in trouble could safely approach
most any adult – every cop and fireman 
was Tom Mix and Ken Maynard combined…
and Abortion 
wasn't 
fashionable.......

Hot summer day
Beautiful time to visit the island
Ferry to Schwartz Bay 
Then to Salt Spring
BC Transit takes you downtown to Ganges
Nice little village
Had coffee at Salt Spring Coffee Bean Cafe 

Then bus to Long Harbour
Ferrying back to Tswassen
Via Maynard, Pender, Galiano islands

Another summer day
To reminisce another
Warm dry day

Before the winter winds and rain
Start again....

THE CLOUDS

I LOOK AT THE CLOUDS,
AND I SEE YOUR FACE..
YOU LEFT TO SOON,
WITHOUT A TRACE.
I'M LEFT TO WONDER,
IF YOUR HAPPY AND FREE,
AND IF YOU;LL EVER LOOK BACK AT ME.
I'LL MISS OUR TALKS,
AND YOU JUST BEING THERE,
NOW YOUR GONE, 
IT JUST ISN'T FAIR.
I NEED YOU TO KNOW,
THAT I LOVE YOU,
AND KNOW THAT I CARE,

WHEN I LOOK AT THE CLOUDS...
Please Be There...

In Loving Memory
Of My Loving FATHER,
MAYNARD L. HEFT Sr

Love Always,
Your Daughter,...
