Short Waiving Poems

Total humiliation
Finally hit rock bottom
Knew it was time to ask for help
Waiving the white flag in desperation

Rehab crew, take me I’m yours

a sestet

Looking for that place beyond his memory, 
he scans time and space within the room's debris 
waiving the embrace requiring energy.
Twisting in the settee, he finds it in his lap 
clicking uselessly  - alas! it has no zap 
Lacking battery!  how will he take his nap?...

THE KIND HEARTED VAMPIRE

A vampire once pledged to abstain
From his normal beverage in vein
Virgins’ white necks full waiving 
He sated his craving
Gathering taxes, although less humane

He worked hard and his skill he refined
But his conscience troubled his mind
So returned to the virgins
Didn’t need too much urgin
On the whole it was not so unkind

Now springtime going on of the wrinkled forehead
Has been rubbed out the lucky lines of scientific vest
Soaring eagles flying away high and falcons eyes in dirge chorus
Drowning the risen sun in the sprouting hungry necropolis

No rainy tears in the warmest weather cheering to sun
Dancing waists waiving in the salty foods of eyes
Embroidered feathers of peacocks in ravens wings
White crows in the shrouds of wayward trapped earth

I awake my night with a 
dream,
and set at the day to go and 
let go,
here I am once again sliding 
back to life.

A better rebirth of 
tomorrow's morrows I pray,
for years back I wanted to 
escalate  the thwart wands 
away,
and now am waiving bye-
bye to my yester-went.

Farewell yesterday-
the knock has come to my 
door,
the rain is falling in my door
and to my Lord belongs the 
Glory..
today here I am and so..
what I am

smiling and glorify Him...

You blankly stated, 
On which I write my thoughts 
Some of them are strong and bold 
While others are soft and polite.

You are my canvas, 
Landing tall at ten fleeting doves
I splash colored oiled pigments
Here and there and down our halls
You can see it down on our walls. 

The brush strokes it on through, 
The pigmented oils of 
The hair hues of blue
They've painted. 

Hair waiving through line after line. 
With shade after shade
As if the ink was there.

"Dreams do this, Catcher" 

mystery in the heart
misleads the kiss
the kiss bleeds 
like a somersault
backwards 
into the comfort
of the dream

we find hidden notes 
written in the music 
we miss the heart’s 
true translation 
we turn the page
we get down 
on our knees

too late the prayers 
are taken in the plate
alms waiving 
backstop 
out of the park 
the soft fall 
shot hard 

left field
right field

catcher
