Baby Come Chill

come to my loft
when you get off
had a long work day
now come lets lay
for awhile stay
take a lover pill

BABY COME CHILL

Day In, Day Out

Red sun wake up from night's bed
Wash and lit up his bright head
When will he gets an off day?
Day in, day out he works dead.

To be kind

Premium Member Distance

I can still taste your lips 
with a cigarette after bite 
and smell the work day 
on your shirt 
of diesel and grime 
I miss the touch of your hand 
against mine 
worn by the years 
this distance is killing me 
till you return

Digger From Oyster Bay

Digger from Oyster Bay

There once was a digger from old Oyster Bay
Who did the right thing on a very wrong day
While taking a hike down a long winding trail
Saw his daughter and mailman delivering mail
Surprisingly on take your daughter to work day

Work day
Time slays


Learn how
Feel now


Words come
Poise sums


Sense here
New cheer


Bear strain
Flip pain


Dream thrills
Warm fill


Go then
Move trend


Heed call
Live all

Premium Member Tick Tock

Tick Tock goes my clock.
I'm getting closer to another work day.
Another long day awaits me full of heavy labor activity.
Why must I make a living this way?
I'd much rather be home letting my mind roam
as my creative pen flows with more poetry.
Tick Tock goes my clock.
Time to go. My job awaits me.

Premium Member The Mother of Mother Teresa

The sweetest, most special thing I've ever heard--
(though as a kid, Mother Teresa thought it absurd)

Was her mother's primping before her father returned
Every work day evening, after their bread was earned

She always wanted to welcome him home with love
& their shared mission was to lead their kids Above

Premium Member Loyal Dogs

Dogs 
Are 
One of 
The most cute
And loyal pets that 
Exist between the domestic 
And tamed animals that you can find in your sweet home 
Wagging the tail and barking to give a warm welcome when arriving from a work day

Its Coming

Future times stare even in dark times
The real deal happens on every deal
The poor live unsatisfied
The rich live unhappy
We walk day and night
We work day and Night
Our success is our legend
Our legend is our success
The eyes shine even in the unshine
We see and don't see
But he sees
Seems God is the Earth till the sea

Premium Member The Value of Clocks

Clocks
Remind us
How fast
Our lives pass

Clocks
Throw numbers
In our faces
Seconds and minutes

Clocks
We glance at them
In the beginning of the day
And often at the end of our work day

Clocks
Always keeping track
Re-arranging our day
Without fail

Clocks
Always watching
Keeping time
Reminding us
Our constant

What Do You Do With Your Day and Night

I live the day to dream the night
As I dream the night to live the day
I work the day to rest the night
As I rest the night to work the day
I pay the day to gain the night
As I gain the night to pay the day
I give the day to earn the night
As I earn the night to give the day
Life is all about time
As time is all about day and night...

(c) 2011

Spa Night

evening in the hot tub beneath a full moon
the MP3 on speaker playing our tune
the stress of the work day now over and done
the pleasures of this night have just begun

jets tickle and tease the kinks from my body
you pour white wine from the uncorked bottle
the stars wink at all the things they can see
as slowly you show your love for me

Bigtoys

Every day is bring you daughter to work day
When you don't have daycare 
and its the graveyard shift at BigToys

I go to see his cubicle where he made models 
of playgrounds I might get to play on one day
He rescued me and put me in a warehouse

Atop a pile of rubber covered chains he said
I was important, take these chains 
and try to see if they will bend

There I loose my life's plea

I found every day,
Three retirees on the bay,
While going on duty of day,
good bye to me They say, 

They smile with half teeth,
Peeping out from their mouth,
As they are laughing at my mirth,
Of doing work day and night,

They waive their hands to show me,
My destination, to recall me, 
My real place after last knee,
There I loose my life's plea

Premium Member Just Ask

Last light here
Closure steers


Sad moods touch
Nothing much


Close the door
Empty core


Work day fades
Ending trade


Hard times call
Bolster gall


Touch brings hurts
Messy dirt


Such sad waste
Bitter taste


No one comes
Broken sums


In the end
Dying trends


Work brief pain
Start again


Why not ask
Beyond bask

Color Blind

You seem to live in black and white
Never smile
Never laugh
You work day and night

Can't you see the world around you?
Or are you blind to the brilliant color
The yellow of the sunshine
The vibrant green of life

Happiness is bright
And sadness solemn blues
But you show no emotion
A boring life you choose

Why don't you see what I see
Why can't you genuinely smile?
I do not understand your mind
Are you color blind?

Premium Member Sunday

My day of rest has turned into a work day
I don't like missing out on my church routine
and interacting with friends who build me up,
not tear me down, but I am making it work
I do like sharing Sundays with those I work with
making a small part of their world better with kindness
and care, but I feel like my own world is disrupted
But sometimes compromise is needed
and right now, my choice has been taken away

Another Work Day

I arose early with 
   the sound of Public radio(which I left on all night)
 in my ears 
   got dressed
tried to 
    started to shave 
but none of my razors were any good 
    Called car service 
to get to work 
   I told him 
to take me over to barber school 
   so I could 
take a shave 
$7 - a young Spanish woman gave me
    a trim and a razor shave 
with the towels!! 
   I was ready to go over and teach ESL!

Premium Member Keyboard Sunday

who ever said sunday isn't a work day
didn't have a park nearby for sundays soap-boxers
academia, politics, sociology, philosophy, religion, you name it
they brought lecturns, stepladders, boxes and chairs to stand on
while passers-by slowed to the gather-round for lecture and debate
it was wonderful...take a book...watch the different ball games...now
it's a desk piled with books and cd's...and a keyboard to say as i please
