Possessions - Mini Poem 3

You gave me a ring that I might wear upon a finger.
A commitment of the highest order, asking
that I pledge all my remaining years.

Seriously?

Put it down to a grey-haired obsession;
Participles are a vexed question.
Even though it sounds quaint,
Elegant it ain't,
Robbing gerunds of their possessions!

Possessions - Mini Poem 5

I will lie on a bed breathing shallowly, then suddenly depart.
In an instant all of my possessions will be yours.
Only then will you see what a slob I was.

Losing Things

Thoughts and possessions
Boxes in my mind
Empty recollections
Going back in time

Memories forever
as long as I exist
Who should I will them to?
Should I make a list?

Swine

You said your, heart and love, was mine.
I know now, that was just a line.
Since you stole my adorations,
Along with all my possessions,
From now on, you are known as swine.

this friendship

until i hold your hand
if or when i spit up butterflies
from being trapped

soaked by heavy rains

weighed down by my most prized possessions

Premium Member The Wise and the Fool

A wise man may be happy, even if his possessions amount to nothing,
 
While an unwise one, can't be happy even if he possesses many a thing!

Give Them What They Want

Give them what they want,
This is a good maxim to live by in these times,
Because if you do they will leave you alone,
Do not hold on to possessions or notions of what is right,
Otherwise fight, fight, fight.

Premium Member Death

Death prances close to my door. While I sleep blissfully in sweet repose, It may sneak into my room without warning. How foolish I am to gloat over my possessions As it comes to take me empty handed

Premium Member Levels and Levels

Worldly possessions
So solid so fragile
Allow success please
In my life be measured
By what death
Can not take nor end
Levels and Levels
Of consciousness
For well you know
The timeless can only 
Be fed with the timeless

Dahlias

The house on the hill
with its magical spell
has shed the years
possessions they mount
collecting memories
cause the Sun follows us
and the dahlias 
with its daydream quality
makes us happy
with all the things we could do

Possessions and Jeff Sessions

Possessions and Jeff Sessions

Brain lost it possessions,
When they approved Jeff Sessions;
Then flipped my noodle. 

Drew Up A Blank

Played with a full tank
And deck so who should I thank?
Mind drew up a blank.

Premium Member Greed

About all your possessions, you blab
You’re trying to dream up a need ~~
Scooping up everything you can grab
I call that, unquestionably, GREED!

Yesterday

An old lady in my apartment building died yesterday
 The Salvation Army truck was out front 
 Her worldly possessions stacked high
 Strangers will soon find them a new home
 as the cycle of life and death perpetuates
 and mutates together as one
