Under two silences
our laughter stays suspended
like a golden drop
even if your voice has changed
I always recognise you
Remembering the long walK of MinnesotA
Even in silence, our stEps fleed from HelL
Nothing was said, sInging just like a beE
Each loss taught me how To love without refleX
Eternally, I will listen to you Heartfelt in every step
With two compasses,
I navigate the waters,
asking myself why
my friendship compass points North,
while my lovers piece points South.
To be authentic
is so very difficult.
Why do I accept
impostures and substitutes
in both myself and others?
After two marriages,
a lifetime of reflection,
alas, to be here,
admitting that I'm clueless,
or I'm just afraid of love.
friendship can be great
looking when will I find you
will that be today
are you now looking for me
will our search go on and on
there you stood looking
oh you came out of no where
what a big surprise
our friendship is a flower
fun and laughs are everywhere
our fun and laughs turn
it all goes so very wrong
hurt and pain from words
tears running like a river
why did our friendship go bad
Live life not alone,
Friendship is essential
To the soul in need:-
Live in wonderful oneness
Of the onement of God’s love:-
Misery picks all;
We all have our time for it,
And its survival:-
Praise God for his healing grace,
And divine wisdom and guidance:-
You are a Simon
Of Cyrene; a supporting
Shoulder of crosses
I bear in this testing life;
You, a laborer of love:-
Inspired by life tree
The Christmas tree, fir or pine
Garden of Eden
Decor, mix of new and old
Tradition is evergreen
A star at the top
Sing along to Jingle Bells
Glitter reflects light
Wish you a Merry Christmas
celebrate with love and joy
A tree stands alone
in a forest, full and green
bare branches twisted
Reach out ye blessed, fruitful...
Cultivate love and friendship
For once, I will be
The one who waits for those of
Whom want my friendship
More than anything else or
At least want to have some fun.
heartfelt gratitude
gift was unnecessary
thankful for her friend
there is a genuine hug
true friendship is the top prize
Rekindled, our bond,
Years lost, now paths interlace,
Laughter blooms anew,
Memories, like stars, align,
Warmth in the cold space between.
That sheepish smile
disarming a gruff poet
coyly offer hope
my Bridgewater seraphim
kick back wine like a sailor
for K.C.
Aquamarine waves
lap pristine rugged shorelines
casting call for beat
bohemic coral ballets
hip sandy beach applause
(This poem made the first PS Anthology, but disappeared
from my list.)
Whenever you think
Of me as ray of sunshine,
Filled with glowing glee…
Remember you’re all as bright,
Likes millions rays of sunshine.
Ice cream cornet sounds
Ottowa freedom lovers
Human sleeping warm
