Short Valance Poems

I went to my bank yesterday
As I went to work, it’s on my way
I said to the cashier Miss Valance
“Hello can you check my balance”
She replied “yes certainly Mr. Dover”
Then walked round and pushed me over...

Striving for balance
Walking that valance
Instead of making
A large mess
I suggest you invest
A little time to recognize
The importance of being civilized
Then it’s time to react
In a muncher calmer tact...

my hope hangs
with these stars
lost somewhere
beneath darkness
in the valance
of clouds
that hang
overhead
in the somberness
of january's wrath
as it rains down
its icy tears

beyond the hill
the moon hangs still...

Listen to poem:

What we found in each other;
Was never difficult to uncover;
Transparent; is my perception to view
Undeniably, it's given; because of you
My scales, finally feel complete balance
Curtains drawn back, as too the valance
Once we felt it become authentically real;
It has never been hard to enjoy; or truly feel
Our physical distance negated with a short trip in the car;
Emotional distance doesn't exist; I just recall who you are!...

It is never too late to sustain a difference.
Leave the cocoon of unhappiness.
Learn the labyrinth of facets of your life's mess.
Restore your broken appearance.
Rewrite your story with a new face.
The breeze carries your broken voice.
With mysteries hidden in its lances
Your tears have dried after sun incipience. 
Its early radiance entices.
Please, love, display the valance.
It is never too late to enhance.

Dust laden window grilles, 
Lime scales on the shower door.
Detritus below the fragmented doors,
Commiserating the saudade and furor. 

Blackened cushions besmirched with dirt,
dusty sheath peeping thru sleek curtain pleats.
Scalloped valance swaying and bewailing in silent grief. 
Scattered around are the pages of the brief.

Culaccino marks on the table,
Shriveled up and dried plants silently standing in a row,
A zestful soiree, which took away all the glow long ago!
