Short Reverentially Poems

Pulling chairs and holding doors
are gestures of respect
I cling to reverentially,
emotion, that beggars intellect.
 
In times long gone I'd doff my hat
and dress in spats and bow-tie

a wink, a nod, to catch her eye.
 
Nowadays, old-fashioned graces
often meet with glares askance,
with worried and suspicious faces
I don't get a second glance!...

IF HUMANLY CREATED
A HEAVENLY FATHER
JESUS'S EARTHLY MOTHER
HE USED "ABBA"
INTIMACY INDICATED THEREBY
if only humans
Will go, quietly
To talk intimately
With the Universe
Though HUMANLY perverse
Barriers we'd traverse
Healed we converse...
