Jock

Jocks real name was John
Obstacles, many he overcame
Complaining zero, he was my hero
Kinship with Scotland never strayed

I am Fine

I am fine.
I am well.

Do not ask,
So I won't tell,

How I've strayed,
How far I fell,
From my home,
Where all is well.

Premium Member Lost and Strayed

I am lost
In Microsoft Word
My passion
Lost within
All the technical jargon
I’ve strayed beyond hope

On the Bench

On the bench he cries
The crowds roar did mesmerize
Eyes strayed from his prize

memory joins the dots in time
akin to illusions replayed
within heart resounds bliss beat’s chime
reminding us that we have strayed

Premium Member Long Ago

Seems like long ago

Things were different

Unnoticed we let them slip away

Victim of loneliness, we strayed

How could we let it happen?

The Faded Family

We all seem delayed.
We all dissuade.
We all seem afraid.
We all seem strayed.
And then in a decade,
We all evade.
And then in another decade,
We all fade.

Fryer Tuck

There once was a monk named Cur Plunk
Who frequently strayed from his bunk
He claimed he was drunk
And stunk like a skunk
'til his hunk of a trunk had shrunk

Angels

Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love,
Learning of people needing their aid,
They come to rescue sinners that strayed.

Saw Sheep As They Strayed

Saw Sheep As They Strayed

We would see sheep as they strayed,
While Jesus in His crib in a barn laid;
Was living;
Gifts giving;
As a young child played and played.

Resolution

Ready to embrace change
Relinquish the old self 
Remember to be firm
Reach for the lofty goals
Resound the steps to take 
Rewrite any strayed goal
Rekindle dim embers

Random Abc

Alone, barricaded can disrupt everyone for great, hours instantly jacking killers lives moving near openings, people questioning; resistance, strayed, torn. Universe versus war, x-raying yonder zest.

April

Your strayed eyes are blurred with tears
And famished heart, 
So smothered with fears,
You don’t see 
The lush green of the park
And the pink blossoming tree.

Premium Member Can-be Beach, Fourth of July

Dear, get me a cocktail, ... those fruity ones,
Me with no glasses, ... No miss, errs or runs,
saluting sounds of conscience
smoking fumes are obnoxious
he strayed, two sunbathed girls, "Dears, it's the guns."

The Lost Treasure

Escaped from pain
Brains flying trying
To define myself
Now and again rewind
to a time where you 
raged like a fire 
a burning desire 
trapped but the animal
encaged strayed away
please my lost treasure 
come back to me

Premium Member Miracle Dinner

 Miracle dinner

Benny had gambled away his last buck
Hungry and couldn't believe his ill luck
He fell down and prayed
His neighbour's bird strayed
For dinner, he had a dish of roast duck!

Promenade and Parade

Promenade and Parade 

What they did was dance and promenade
All over entire town in a big parade
After of them had taken many views
Decided that they were all bad news
And as usual off course they strayed.

Premium Member Reflections Ii

Sunlight,backlit through glass
Raindrops,glistening on grass
Faces,smiling in a crowd
Words of love ,said aloud.
Thoughts on paper,strayed
Thankfulness,in prayers made
Mirror images,truth portend
Poetry in stanzas,penned

Backslide Into

lapses in judgement 
lost footing 
slipped up 
fell backwards
backslide downwards
strayed away from
path that had 
been lead out 
reverted within 
became old version
of self momentarily 
happens whenever 
your around

We meet
  so sweet

First kiss

Vows said
  he's dead

He strayed
  I flayed

Days

Mornings gone strayed
all I see is you still
in my head, on my sheet, in my arm

Nights crawl away,
the longing more than real
my heart weeps, in a cage, of your charm

*for someone i cant seem to diminish from my mind
