Ripped sleeves

As I heard from across the room in 8th grade that he wants to be a police officer in the Future, I immedietly changed my mind to my second plan, working in the ambulance. 

**3rd May, 2014**
,,Broadway 4th street 7, alright."
The siren rang.
As I wore my suit I asked one of my collegues: ,,What happend?"
,,I

Tangled up

How much my wish is for you to believe. 
        Your place in my heart that those eyes couldn't see. 
        Predestined obsession of hurts, hopes, and dreams.

Greenest Sleeves

A Chest there did inter a King
Her grave was never marked –

A body packed as Arrows – Down –
In worse – A Common Bark

No Greener Sleeves – than Envy
Where ripped apart by Dogs

Owned masquerading Saviors
With faces meant for Frogs.

Roll Up Those Shirk Sleeves

For my family members
    Holidays over
    It's back to work
  Duties, tasks, orders no more to shirk  

  As for me, I reckon
    More retirement beckons
    Yawns, naps, googling away
      ~ Wasting every precious day

Roll Up My Sleeves

I got to roll up my sleeves 
And go to work
Even though at times I simply don’t want to
There is no choice
Says a voice
I got to do what I got to do 
For work pays bills and keeps you alive
I have rolled up my sleeves 
And got to work
I am staring a new life
On a

Butterfly Sleeves

Sam’s butterfly sleeves, in pastel hurry,
Gently billow like seagulls over feet.
Indulgent, salted drops of sea, so sweet.
Tan sand across her sandal straps, run free.

Featherbell Sleeves

By train, plane, by wings,
I hear the angels sing.

Their featherbell sleeves,
golden flutterbies weave

in mind-blowing confection.
I remember the affection

for long distance kin and kith —
missing links that make me writhe,

and Niagara Falls - its plunging
neckline, of psychedelic rainbows, lunging

catapult of sentiment and mist.
The kiss of sunflowers on smiling lips,

cruising excursions, explorations then kips.
The reward of sleep

Sunbeam Sleeves

Winter leaves us shivering, and leaves trees bare
 As we await the cherished spring
 Snow is everywhere
 And upon the branches snowflakes cling
 As silence becomes frozen on the wing

 Spring brings to trees their leaves of green
 And brings all the blooms we see
 The landscape becomes a beautiful scene
 And squirrels chatter with

Green Sleeves - Bawdy Limerick Edited

Val’s daughter was picking her nose
Then wiping snot on Val’s new clothes
When Val finds sticky mess
Of green slime on her dress
The distress in her quickly rose

Green bogeys all over her sleeve
So slimy they make poor Val heave
To resolve this issue
Hands daughter a tissue
But bogeys on dress will not leave!

Val’s outfit that once was pristine
Is covered

Sleeves of the Soul

our hearts were once joined,
 
now apart the degrees
 
of separation are burning,
 
my wounds are weeping 
 
there is no other day
 
 
 
judgment came yesterday
 
Autumn leaves began their journey
 
as my night was laid to rest
 
the walls started falling down
 
scattering the Rose of Sharon 
 
 
 
a bed

Green Sleeves

Jack Daniels could grow very mellow;
They called him a jolly, good fellow.
But, strange as it seems,
The good fellow turned green,
When he fell in a tub of lime Jell-o.
