Simple Poems

A chill ...
Not on skin - to marrow
If but for the frigid air
A horrid pattern would trace my cheek
Though not nearly as horrid
As the one that faces me upon the glass
It is quite beautiful in shape
Hemmed with frost crystals, like...Read More

Bosom friend’s bean feast.
Delightfully enjoying fun filled jamboree.

Graceful tall laddie appearing darkly menacing.                           ...Read More

I Know Some Of Life's Sorrows, Fate Decrees Everlasting

I saw seven dying newborn white horses
I stumbled upon seventeen darken courses
I ran through twenty-seven ancient burnt temples
I found love may be hard, even when life is simple.

I sat at thirty-seven broken...Read More

The art of what? Never heard one?
You will soon if you read on.
A fugue is a musical form,
in times past quite the norm,
more so in the time of Bach
who raised it to a mighty art.
Here, then, is how to write
a...Read More

People were in bondage, and so He came.
Rescuing people from the devil’s game.
He came casting out demons, and healing every manner of disease.
But His time on earth, wasn’t a simple breeze.
For He would be falsely accused.
Beaten, battered, and badly bruised.

Two days ago, my friend and I were talking about the weather and how it relates to his business. He said,  "This time of the year, my life is all about leaves".  I said, "That would make a...Read More

(While reading this try to fit the melody
and rhyming rhythm with parts of Don 
McLean's song "American Pie")

the book of rocks
just looking at the

and dinosaurs were here 
and every

on the wings
of waking hours
adrift in thoughts 
he’s the only one 
that can fill
the vacancies 
of this mind

lingering
in the essence
that he has become 
i tremble
from depths 
within my soul

i can feel
his fingers
tracing 
the edges
of my existence

his every breath 
rising with...Read More

December

In this bedroom I type out
“Amazon” where are the socks,
And then, and then, a press,
And “chocolate” and a dog leash,
And oh, yes, the simple things 
To remember,

Here on this day of rain,
Emails of pain, will they make the grade,
So many...Read More

Imagine if you noticed a deterioration in your sight
How would that suddenly and forever change your life
Happily, if it's just cataracts
A simple procedure corrects
Laser treatment is worth the inconvenience at any price

Mother and Angel

What thoughts gather in your mind, Mary,
 Eyes looking down in the morning light?
Do you still hear the sound of an angel’s voice –
 Can you hear the sound of angel wings?

God’s light shines through you, simple handmaiden;...Read More

The Gift

Some people say Christmas in this present day
Wanders lost
In ads and tinsel carelessly strung
Upon an artificial bough;
Some people say the Christmas spirit
Lives no more -
The simple Christ Child’s birth
Coldly mocked by glittering ads
For diamond rings and robot toys;
Some say...Read More

do me the honor
of being my wife
love me forever
us together
as man and wife

together
us together
in a union of love

who knows what tomorrow brings
it's more than the weather
you and I together
making our way thru the days
we can be apart
and have things
go some...Read More

A bird blares in the garden,
he creates the gorgeous world.
when the peom stayed 
in a lonely dewy twig,
he turned pale face to mourn
for those withered dream.
Oh,winter comes,he doesn't fly,
He just want to be a quietist

If Dad were here to view our nature programs
His appreciation of things simple was very well-known
A misunderstood man
His ideas were panned
His ideas were questioned but they're basically my own

Judgement
You light the fire, then play the victim.
It's not my fire, yet you let it burn.
Rage and pain drive you insane,
creating a parody of hypocritical lies.
Judgemental eyes ignite in fumes,
ignorant to another man's shoes.

Silent emotions
They say he shows no emotions,
yet...Read More

"You don't have to say you love me"* -
It is quite unnecessary,
For your love for me lies
In the depths of your eyes,
It suffuses your face
Every time we embrace,
In the softness of speech 
Only my ears can reach:
I gain more satisfaction
From...Read More

You Shut My Crazy Out

You shut my crazy out,
and something in my chest slips.
Something in my chest tightens,
Something eerie sweeps my brain
and tickles me in the back of my neck. 

Who are you?
I start to question our relationship,
my existence,
my purpose....Read More

Onion is crying
For-itself
Without peeling
Without cutting
Only sitting 
On the shelf
Prices to soar
Without uproar
Maximum this year
Minimum next year
Unable to know
Why prices grow?
Sometimes to throw
Sometimes to borrow
So much confusion
Or the market's illusion
Farmer in delusion
Customer's suffocation
Problem to solve
Still unsolved
Of simple pricing
Without price hiking
Of the...Read More

Dear Santa,

How you doing,
hope this message finds you well
I know it’s almost Christmas
and you’re busier than hell

I really hate to ask you
but I know I have been nice
Except for just a couple things
and maybe something twice

But if you could be...Read More
