Short Theif Poems

I had some money, was it taken by some ghost,
Wanted pancakes but now can only afford toast.
Was it the notorious kid next-door,
Or some theif who was getting bored.
It's not even near the lamp post, my money lost!...

As Jimmy rode his broomstick pony
I'm Roy Rogers he would yell
With silver pistols at the ready 
He was the good guy you could tell
No horse theif dared to face him
As he galloped across the kitchen floor
Roy Rogers is my hero
Even if he's ony four...

I'm going broke!
My jeans must have holes in all the pockets
No, don't turn my cell phone off 
Wait, that's my tv 
Broke! Broke! Broke! 
No teacher, I still don't have my textbook
I must have a toillet paper theif 
Where is all the food
Broke! Broke! Broke! 
All I have is me!...

No matter what time and space
I can not forget your face!

Your laugh is theif in disguise
That steals my soul by surprise!

I can see love for me in your every move –
Please don’t say I am wrong cause it’s so hard to prove! 

I long to hold you in my arms –
I seek in you all of my charms!...

What do I write about?
Who do I tell?
They've taken my reason
To rant and to yell.

My package delivered 
I feel a relief
They've taken my poetry
That darned little theif.

I should feel joyful,
I should feel swell, 
But I tell you with candor
I feel just like .....

Like a theif in the night 
Never trust any one 
To make you usefull 

Never depend on any one
To make you responsible 

Believe in your ability 
Believe in your self 
By your self to make 
Your self who you want 
Yourself to be 

If not by the time 
You realise by yourself 
That you never live 
To build your life 
By yourself 
It will be 
Like the thief in the night...

You Thief

you thief
who stole my
simple dreams and
hopes
and dashed them
to pieces on the floor of our lives
while I watched
helpless in my efforts
to save them

you stole a piece of
my life and
ran away a
thief in the night
who kept looking over
his shoulder to see
if he’s been caught

the difference here
is this thief has
no profit
because we both
end up
empty handed

A MERE-HUMAN IS BORN,
YET NO MERE-HUMAN KNOWS WHERE HIS BREATH COMES FROM,
NEWS PEOP[LE TRY TO PREDICT WEATHER BY THE CLOUDS,
BUT NO MAN CAN PREDICT WHEN GOD IS COMING BACK,
HE'S GOING TO COME LIKE A THEIF IN THE NIGHT,
NOW DAYS YOU CAN'T TELL THE WINTER FROM THE SUMMER,
OR,
SPRING FROM FALL,
THEY TRY TO BUILD ROBOTS IN THE IMAGE OF MAN,
BUT TWO THINGS THEY CANNOT DO,
IS GIVE LIFE OR BREATH.

"Time is the thief you cannot banish."

                                   Phyllis McGinley, Writer,  1905 - 1978


Time 
Is but, 
A theif too
Sly for its age, 
Stealing away all the seconds in one's
Life, Making it shorter by each day, time
With stealth, begets
Eden in, 
It's own, 
Nest.

Breaking red rabbit tail rock rolls
On course to find water's relief
Recieved splash on entry consoles
Cracked river banks scary belief 
Drought had claimed rain, abhorrant theif
Tortoise rise islands of today 
Spy submarines just yesterday 
Sponge edges flake, sandskrit their rage
Scathing hastens stainless foray
Kernels fall, popcorn covers stage

Do not Prey But do Pray

Be as You wish to be
Seen as one of light
Be Human Not a Predator
Love above is near Us

I want Us to Thrive in Life
Not to Live under a Knife
Freedom for one and all
And be Who We can Be

Love of money is not right
It is like a Theif in the night
A smile is free as a Bird
Give it away everyday

Show You care about this World 
It is all We have to share
Be a wonder to another Soul
Let Our Love be Our goal...
