The house whispers
as I awaken
and a dream plays.
My loft breathes as I get up.
The block on the hill
still after the night’s
storm, and a story
plays in my head
remnants of a love
I once had. The cat
rumbling on my chest.
shares the moment.
…
Tires sing as I drive
along the river
as it takes in reflections
of sun. I’ve viewed
the scene many times.
I’m seeing it again.
Public Radio plays
a feature on psychology
and the triumphs and trials
of life, and I cry out
This is me. This is me.
‘’’
In a diner, dishes clink
and patrons laugh
while elderly cajole
their granddaughters
voices filled with promise
about the lives that lie
ahead.
…
I walk away
from old conversations
the pain felt
after someone left for good
and unanswered questions.
…
I stay true
to one thousand voices
in my head.
A new poem I seek.
terms and phrases with
wordds that amazes
sparkling and shining bright
what a marvelous site
what a beautiful day
In love is a
joyous way to be
in love
we're in love
I'm in love with you
Everyday is our specail day
everyway is our specail way
the details are never confussed
In love I'm the winner
how many guys come home
and say whats for dinner
I don't feel exploited
or misused
I'm in love with you
Even when folks try to trick us
we stand stong nothing
comes between us
when it's humorous
we say we're amused
but when i's time to stick together
we hunker down
hey we're clever
look around
and I got you
chapel's choirboys ...chime!
A desperate gasp
explosion damp and muffled
march of the pebbles
the transition between sound and silence contains the sounds of silence
Its so obvious. Ah fool in love sets themselves up
Its very clear to. For disappointment
me. Ah broken heart needs more
If you know what. assurance
Love is. If you really really love me
You could hear it's. Find ah way to show me
Sweet melody
Harmonized for
The ages
A celebration of
You and me
Love keep us
Together
You know I am gonna
Do my part
Trust in me
This comes straight
From MI heart
But if you still
Need that assurance
I'll dedicate my love
You do the same
It's for us
Tell me you love me
If you really mean it
I'll buy the ring
You all ready seen it
Take my hand
Love me forever
Promise I
I'll leave you never
Silent Sounds
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
From The Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
We speak in sentences that
have no meaning
Empty words flow from the mouths of
fatuous politicians, but who listens.
Earbuds drown out the cacophony of crowded streets
as we hurry to the safety of our silent home.
We sit in silence hoping our years of love
will drown out the noise of the supper television.
Shrill voices, meaningless words spill from flapping lips
fall on deaf ears.
Real silence is refreshing when nothing is said
and human voices are stilled.
He spoke to Atoms in the night.
"Come together and let there be light!
Neutrons and protons "Bond for Me!
Electrons come, make Me the Sea!"
He sprinkled stars into the night.
To fill His children with delight!
He reached into the rich earth sand.
And there created His first child Man.
"Just one child!" He said "Won't do!
I desire to have a daughter too!"
I made a Garden where you can play.
From there you can talk to me everyday!
No matter what you say or do.
I am you Father and won't forsake you!
You will suffer from a disease called Sin.
Our Father and child relationship will end.
Hang in there my children, I'll make away.
For us to be together again someday!
My Son from heaven will sacrifice.
He'll shed his blood and give his life.
The only thing you have to do,
Is believe and admit he did it for you!
If you choose to ignore Him and deny.
You will not be with me, once you die.
There is no love greater than Mine.
I will forgive you, no matter the crime.
Talk to Me on that "Spiritual Phone"
The one called "Prayer" I'm always Home!
Empty ears hear
broken memories on replay
Or was it
Broken ears hear
empty memories all the day long?
Either way
these ears have forgotten
the use of beautiful music,
and the tunes that once gave
its master vigor in the beginning
I love you
Sounds like candy
When it rolls off your tongue
So sweet
It's bound to fill my mouth
With cavities
I imagine you talking to me
I go word by word
Visualizing the eye contact
Dreaming of the way
Your voice sounds
I listen to your audio messages
Basking in the bliss
Smiling like the first time I heard them
Euphoric in the way
I can hear your smile
When you speak
I pop your words
Like sugar pills
Paul Frederick Simon
who is nicknamed rhymin’
for a while on Art Garfunkel was reliant
and gave us The Sounds of Silence
quiver across limbs
perching mockingbird mimic
a sound that last forever in our memory
The sky is falling quietly down
The evening starts to glow
You let her out in the garden
Commanding off you go
The dusk is growing deeper
And through the shift of time
I hear you calling “Pippa!”
And she comes back, and I
Hear your “good girl” to her
And Pippa wags her tail
She licks your face, the image blurs
You smile, the sounds fail.
Who hears the song
of the rivers running
incessantly towards
the sea...?
The sounds of the sun's rays
opening the morning curtains...?
Who hears the murmur
of the colors when
they are surprised
on the screens...?
Who notices the
natural whisper of the dew at the foot
of the mountain...?
And the clouds in the
sky sliding...?
Who hears the mystical song
of the autumn leaves falling... and
the mysterious music
of the night as it arrives...?
Who hears all this:
knows how to listen to the silence,
hears the calls of time
and the cries of life
passing...!
POETRY...!
Now, a year has turned, a joyful sight,
Embraced by warmth and radiant light.
Sunshine smiles, as memories gleam,
Today you savor, a happy dream.
One page again leads to another's call,
Rivers of blessings flow once and for all.
