Love Songs and Wishes

Love songs and wishes;
A ride at the fair;
A menu nutritious;
He floated on air
    Searching for chances;
    As hope comes to fade
    Like a windup he dances;
    But no one will trade.
There on the stairway
Going up going down;
Love on the airways;
Was the act of a clown?

Unborn Song

The robin's egg rolled far away from haven tree.
A wee devil's hole in its side.
I took a one eyed peak...nothing left inside.

What to do with such a perfect shade of broken blue.
Feed it to the trash heap hag.
To spend its final days with rotting fruit and metal rags...

So, I placed it gently on a nightstand.
Aside a windup clock.
Now I'm playing mother bird. 
To caged time and unborn songs.

These Hallowed Fields

The crack of the bat,
The roar of the crowd,
The smell of the earth,
In these hallowed fields.

The taste of the hotdog,
The sun in my face,
The warm gentle breeze,
In these hallowed fields.

The windup of the pitcher,
The call of the ump,
The anger of the batter,
In these hallowed fields. 

The cheer of good friends,
The closeness of family,
The kiss of my spouse,
In these hallowed fields.

Night Eyes

In the darkest night Glowing rounds creep across fields; Creature called Night Eyes. Mother Moon singing; Ethereal notes riding Silent silky breeze. Colored tapestry; Brightly painted planets dance In black lacquered sky. Flickering bright lights Air dancing across the grass; Fireflies in the night. Weaving fingers play Among windup dragonflies; Cattails by a pond.

What Do They Think About You

What do they think about you…….
Hey! Man
Let's take a short gap,
To your beautiful nap.
Stop dreaming, like a kid  
And think about you,
Have a look at you.

Think about the things 
which Tweak your brain, 
Which is a deprived strain.
What do u think about you,
Will you be reborn after death.

Raised from the ash,
Like a phoenix…..
But people think that,
You are a zombie…..
So let's windup the dreams.

Six Feet Above

Today the earth is pleasant 
Last night, I slept with the half-moon 
Looking down to a wary peasant 
Working so to grab a spoon 

Today the earth is spherical 
Tomorrow, I'd be buried six feet above 
It's a nasty place, but not cynical 
We always pray to the one above 

Forever, the earth is generous
To contain the living amongst the dead 
Killing for a plot is dangerous 
We only get six feet, when we windup dead.

Toys

I came upon a windup toy.
He danced a jig to bring me joy
because I was feeling low.
My name is Pinocchio. 
I'm no ordinary boy.

I told him I was made of wood,
He said that he understood.
The pleasure he could bring 
radiated from a spring.
Soon, I was feeling good.

The sadness that his jig belies,
which I detected in his eyes,
was eased as friendship brings
a boy with puppet strings
in a plaything's disguise.

Crack of the Bat

Bat, ball, and glove, a sacred rite of spring Timeless afternoons of joy shared by all Everyone gets a chance to give a swing To meet the challenge: putting bat on ball. Stretch, windup, and pitch, a flaming fastball Hitter gives it flight with resounding crack Outfielder’s eyes wide, then pedaling back Jubilant bat toss, he breaks into run Pitcher’s shoulders droop, his jaw going slack Outfielder against fence, it’s a home run! 4/10/16
