Home Sweet Home
ran, toiled, tumbled, bled
my sacred bid to return to thee
whence i was spawned
and drawn to peace in thee.

dear friends ~
believe me when I say
retirement feels well earned
when you have toiled and
worked hard every day

God To Us An Angel Sent

God to Us An Angel Sent

God to us an elegant angel sent;
Wherever we went were diligent;
Tilled and toiled;
Became spoiled;
Improve lives had been His intent.

A Corny Limerick

A farmer owned a farm in Iowa.
In vain, he toiled and labored every day.
He'd pick his corn and shuck it,
And pour it into buckets;
Then crows would steal the corn and fly away.

In Emotion Embroiled

In Emotion Embroiled

In much emotion, we were embroiled;
Some with sin who are so badly soiled;
By God now seen,
In pasture green;
In flowing fields, they toiled and tarried.

Goodbye Again

Goodbye, mine of gold of the east 
Where my soul was bound through the years 
Where my hands have toiled for the need 
Where her beauty charmed the lobes of my brain

Prairie Graveyard

Reckless tumbleweed
hurries across forgotten graves
of those who toiled through despair
and anguish
fighting drought and famine
depression and unemployment
heat and cold
locusts and dust storms
daily uncertainty...

All's Vanity

Behold we toiled
Soiling our skins
expending our strength
Breaking our bones
Sweating like covers of hot pots
Toiling, soiling, expending,breaking and sweating
Yet all was vanity and yet would be
Where God toils not with us

Ordinary

When you pass me by
Remember me 
Ordinary I may well be
But please - remember me

For I toiled each day
And did my best
Provided for my family 
But now I’m old
Time continues on
So remember me please.

Returning Home

RETURNING HOME

Two years now
Have toiled in this garden
Searching for her
Waiting and wailing for her return
With tears and thorns tumbling my knuckles
With agonies growing daily
With hope masquerading
I shall return home
I shall wait no longer
For the stolen ribs.

Awoh Kingsley.

The Dying Slave

Slumped in his nakedness,
His loose...left hand, 
Runs its shaky fingers through his hair.

With his eyes closed,
His subordinate dreams
Are shackled across his chest,
As he struggles with his toiled reality.

Dungeon Of Memories

Goodbye again dungeon of memories 
where youngster self has bloomed 
In no time I'll be back again
Like an echo in a song 

Bless the one who toiled for you
Whose sweat and blood laid your foundation 
May her sunshine rise again
In golden shades, her silver moon

Dna In Your Jeans

Family history
Is mostly a mystery
To those researching their genes

Your DNA tree
Does not seem to be
Worth more than an hill of beans

Women toiled in the clover
With Neil Down and Ben Dover
And though it could be a bother

Despite every fear
DNA makes it clear
Someone had it in for your father!

Premium Member Gratitude

They lived and toiled when
The living was not easy
Weather and soil yielded no
Grace nor bountiful
Harvest to nurture body
Providence however reign
A long hard day ends
For the family of four
Potatoes and tea
Baked and boiled for all to share
Grateful expressions of care

Soldier of Tin

He took apart
his soldier of tin
to see for himself
what lay within
expecting honour, strength
valour and pride
he eagerly toiled
to get inside
with soldier now 
cleaved in two
he saw what he thought 
could not be true
half of his warrior 
now cupped in each hand
he gazed at an emptiness 
he could not understand.

Inventory

Long day did finally pass;
toiled along vexing its morass.
Arrived back home to rest and retire;
energy and inspirations soon to expire.
Debrief my conceptions and thoughts;
queery my moves and those aught nots.
Lay at ease to stargazes and dreams;
job well done for me it seems.

Premium Member Neal and Bob

Meet Bob:
Bob just lost his job!
Toiled twenty years.
Poor pitiful slob.

Meet Neal:
He cut a better deal!
Foiled his pension,
When he ratted out Bob.

Back to Bob:
Heard about Neal!
Heard about the deal,
Neal got robbed by Bob.

Neal shot Bob!
Bob bled on Neal!
Aah, who cares?
Anybody got time for Neal and Bob?

A New Beginning

It came to Earth
In a firestorm
Yet, it barely reach the ground
It came in the twinkling of an eye
It barely made a sound
To summons' 
Gods' people directly to the sky
And as the world tinkered and
Toiled along it's very merry way
Their wasn't a Soul to be found
For the Lord had carried the day
Come this Judgement Day!

Toil

Digital clock bomb ticking silence lower right angled forever is eight point five 
hours a day there toiled kempt invisible spent walking rigid funk robot wired 
loose framed shut felt mutt waste like glimpse circular window goldfish and city’s 
outline swept through wander inhale adjust inhale time square one infinite mess

Premium Member My Brother

I cried many dreams
a cloud of clown
a mask of liars

but me a true arrow
will hit the target
off who loved me

my brother calling me
repeat the rescue messages
not to answer the $

but the money in your hand many times

i toiled for that from morning and night
and you tell me i am do not remember as it was cruel
to call me lourde

All In Days Work

Gripped by toiled hand,
Hissing sound I hear everywhere
Reverberating the youthfulness of my days,
Where lullaby and executioner's fierce reign
Echoing my ego to whisper in solitude,
Where I used to be.

This is where I'm in now,
Blow torch, leads and thy might,
Oblivion everyday I'm here
Replete of my memorabilia haunting
In my relinquished mind.

Premium Member The End of Time

My father’s hands
Toiled in time
Red lines and scars
Left a story to be told
A life of sorrow 
Or perhaps of glory
Only the man 
Can tell the story
But he is gone now
And I can’t read his palms
He lies in rest
Or so they say
A body that carried the soul
Is but an empty shell
To be put to rest
Six feet under
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
In that grave 
We do trust
