Moon Waxes Lyrical

Listen to poem:
moon plays in phases
with its wax and wane cycle
from slack, lax and lame
to wanton wax lyrical
inspired lunar conundrum

Showers

Lovely is the rain
Streaming down on my lanai
Quickly starts to wane
Trees perk up and flowers sigh
Never even knowing why

Release the Tarnished Sun

The silver sky 
Released the 
Tarnished sun, 
At dusk,
For me
To wane 
Into that 
Dark  eternal
night in the
Land of Tunisia

Disappearing Moon

Disappeared?  Moon on the wane - by...a shroud?
just a cloud... and some rain.
I know I'll see her again
on this sylvan, country lane.

When Our Life Will Wane

when our life will wane
(How is that for W's?)
COVID will drive us insane
no longer here remain

This is the story of many lives sadly.

Life After 1980

try and tell today
that life is under a veil...
we are not many
historical on the wane
the need for poetic bait.

Just Loving Life


My wind chimes entertain me as I write
of bright blooms and cool rain,
nearby fields of golden grain,
and life’s joys that never wane.

Mystic Shore

Take my hand forevermore

Lead me to the Mystic Shore

Mystery unfading

Memories wane

United to the core

Minds entwined

Poetic Justice

A pickpocket named Dodger
lived to become an old codger,
alas a walking stick and heaps of pain
his getaway speed sadly on the wane.

Moonsong

The moon sat, plunked in a cobalt sky
punctuating the stratus
a wane full note on a blank scale
resonating, pulsating, pregnant in it’s fullness
and the string was plucked.

As He Rests On My Shoulder

As I held him close aboard this morning's earliest train,
I had an epiphany that my love for him will never wane
And I will be with him through all of life's pleasure and pain.

Double Fences

95
I feel my 
Power wane
Behind these
Double fences
And concrete walls
I need the freshness
Of the air
I need mother
Earth to care
Then I can
Protect her
With a prayer

Paradise

Desert island dreams.
   Wind and surf with golden sands.
   Sunshine steals my heart.
   Paradise begins to wane.
   Hell on Earth shipwrecked alone

Mood Indigo Ii

Smiling, I cross the facade.
Mottled, the evening violets
wane -- into a subtle fusion
of smoothly muted grays.
A thin sheen of water lies
fallow Upon stone cobbles.

If She Knew Would She Run

if she understood his full evilness
in his utter selfishness
would her love for him wane

if she discerned his mysterious self
hidden away quite nicely
would she take love and run?

Recollections

Thinking about a close friend who died a long time ago:

The days pile up
And the seasons come and go,
The moons wax and wane,
Years continuously flow,
How long will I remember . . .

Forget-Me-Nots

I lie here in mourning exposed by dawn Spring’s forget-me-nots wither and wane like dwindling dreams of you

Winter

Whiteness falling whirling white
in the crisp hushed winter's bite.
Nipping flakes light the dark night
that gathers on window pane.
Evening's moon begin to wane,
relaxing by candlelight.

Impetus Penury

Government wish
Poverty wane
This afternoon.

Run out of rice
I put bucket
Enough to eat.

Spring come must
Thrift amount food
Live within week.

Wish the debtor
Not come and lift
Pass usury.

Goodbye John Mccain

Goodbye John McCain

Trump whole government with us did gobble;
We became poor  and around have to hobble;
All time would wane;
Goodbye John McCain,
Trump stayed fat and should see him wobble.

A Day

The sun rises, a glorious dawn,
The day progresses, it always will,
Too soon the warmth begins to wane,
The Moon now rises to end the day,
The eternal cycle never changing,
All Creation enjoying a blessing.
