empath opens hers...

Nothing
I ever saw
that wasn't like
that open door
so clear cut
it made my heart
ache....

On Saturday, the L A Rams
Encountered the Monterey Clams
With no and, if, or but
It was open and shut
The Sopranos limped home like lambs!...

When at home its often fast food I crave,
might even be leftovers that I saved,
always in a race,
open and shut case,
thank God for my nuke everything microwave!

A mockingbird sits on my windowsill,
Eyeing the shelly beans I am cooking
He snaps open and shut his sturdy bill
So intent is he in his window peeking,
He fails to see the black cat sneaking.

a poem is a puzzlebox open and shut
with a chimeraean key. and fay-like
are the enterings it delves, where
a moment is all had. now
and then clinking to the sides. turn
slowly. it will change as if time passed.

Foot Caught

Down path to door did race;
Was an open and shut case;
Foot in door had been caught
And whole farm he had bought;
Did do it with style and grace.

hey,y'know what?
there's always a but
life's never clear cut 
nor open and shut
no matter what -
there's always a but
whenever you feel
you have a done deal
9 times out of 10
someone will then-
admonish tut,tut
which simply means but
it is without fail
as plain as the tail
on a boardinghouse mutt-
there's always a butt!...

There’s light in my room
But nobody's there
A shade over the window
To hide what I bare

Strange noises at night 
But nobody's there
There’s a picture on the bed stand
Doors open and shut
A candle burnt out
And clothes scattered about

There’s a mirror in the corner
But the reflection is bare
There's a light in my room 
But nobody's there...

The sound of your voice made me shake inside
Your mouth never opened yet my ears heard your words
You reached out and touched me without using your arms
As I looked upon your lips I was kissed
My mind was open and shut by your very present
I was deeply moved 


How Beautiful My Love 


Dedicated to my wonderful husband  Yalma for Valentine"s Day...

Birds at your window
Are irresistibly fair
Tempest in my hair

       ****

Gusto in the dust
Blue windows open and shut
Birds come out in lust

     ****

Two blooms hold a bird
A starry moment of trance
My doors are in dance

    ****

Birds keep pecking on
Purple stress of restlessness
Till the verse is born

pieces that fell into my

beard but

turned and looked in a
mirror and saw somebody i

Truth has the power 
to unlock under the carpet of lies 
hidden agendas covered up secrets
 
Open and shut case proof behind scenes 
we are drip fed day by day by media 
controlled by its source rubbish 

Issues to corrupt peoples vision creating demons 
within reality and moral thinking a world can see 
as one body in a whole circle of good living souls...

A Mother's Home Cements A Family


Foundations laid in early years,	
Walls protecting.				
Wood, Brick, Stone,
Pillars of wisdom and inner strength.

Structure contains compassion, love,
Unconditional support.
Occasional putty filling cracks,
Intimacy granting shelter.

Doors swinging open and shut,
Always welcoming, forgiving.
Keys open countless memories,
This is not a house... but a home....

All In A Day

All in a day I can feel all types of ways.
Never feeling happy, looking forward to better days.
All in a day I go from one mood to another
Praying to God I’ll always be a great mother
How can this be when he’s taking me down?
Never does he want to fix my frown.
Usually the cause, it’s his words that cut 
All in a day many doors open and shut.

Worldly care and friendship
House of happiness and hope
Acting friendships complex and diversified
Teachers of patience and virtue

Invincible and awe inspiring
Songs of praise and worship

Love that parents and children share guided by God
Open and shut books of excellence and philosophy
Visible signs of caring for your neighbour and good friends
Experiences of excellence personified by God

Two wiener dogs meet
Each yap loudly, strangely greet
Oddly on the street

Hounds bite other's butt 
Owner blames the other's mutt
Not open and shut

I note discreetly,
"Both were gone quick and neatly, 
Devoured completely"

Another witness 
Says, "'twas one, not two or none 
Lucky to remain"

Judge asked the witness,
"If each pooch ate the other  
Which was out, which in?"

A surprise witness
Loudly shouts, "there were two, they
Switched identities"...
