Things Poems

People, Places, Things

   People, places, and things.
   All of which catch my eye,
   The world as I see it travel by.

   People who catch my view.
   Caught in pictures,
   Expressions I knew.

   Places of interest.
   Seen while visiting,
   Areas

Broken Things

Broken mugs 

And broken promises 

A broken lamp 

And broken knuckles

A broken TV 

And a broken stack of plates 

Broken drywall 

And broken glasses 

Broken bottles

And a broken door 

This is a broken home

And my heart cannot break anymore

Tangibles

What’s hiding in the attic
Nothing but dusty boxes of sentimental relics
~ past I can’t let go

THINGS YOU NEVER TOUCHED

I stitched my silence with threads of things I couldn’t say.
I yearned with the last pieces I had stored away.

The moon watched me unravel, but never turned away.
The sea heard my cries, but never bothered to ask me "why?".

I carved poems on the inside of my ribs just to feel alive.
And the lines suffocated me

Getting things done

I wake up fully psyched
On track full charge toward my goals
~ My vision couldn’t be clearer

THREE THINGS

May we be blessed to give our children three things
as we help them to discover and develop their wings:

The confidence to always know their worth
The strength to chase their dreams…no matter how far
and the ability to understand…
how deeply loved they are.

Wish we could slow things down

September just around the corner
summer indulgences so quickly come and gone
~ time slips through our fingers

TRICKY THINGS

TRICKY THINGS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘Thank yous’ are such tricky, delicate things
          like small birds with hollow bones
                    or the first breath of sharp air 
     

Stranger things have happened song version

Stranger things have happened

Lightening strikes a man twice,
and he lives to tell
Said he never thought twice,
about the tolling bells

Refrain
Oh yeah, Oh yeah,
Stranger things have happened

The world watched as a child,
was pulled out... alive
Three days under the rubble,
with no way ...to survive

Refrain
Oh yeah, Oh yeah,
Stranger things have happened

Chorus
I know you told me, last year,
you were still

All Of The Little Things Our Little Brains Choose To Remember For A Short Little While

Isn’t it odd?
All of the little things
that remain in our
little brains?

One day, you’ll
be walking down the
street, just minding your
own business, when suddenly
you’ll stop.

A sight,
A sound,
A scent,
A memory,

Something you have
never seen, heard, smelt,
or even experienced before
will catch your incomplete attention
so completely.

And send you to
the most magical of
places.

Something from your
childhood,

Something from the
small town you drove through
last autumn.

Things that Make you say, Hmmm

There are instances in nature that imitate the nature of some humans.
Tis sad but true that...

a mockingbird makes fun of another bird who sings more beautifully

a thorn pricks until it draws blood, but it never injures the rose

a moth thinks it has beautiful wings, until a butterfly emerges

a crow takes pleasure in taunting others until

Moving Things Forward

to create meaningful forward motion on an ideal, add focus

THINK OF HAPPY THINGS

As the pendulum of life toward sorrow and sadness swings…
I find it’s beneficial take a moment…and think of happy things. 

Rainbows, ladybugs, traveling….buying a magazine from an old newsstand
balloons, sunsets, picnics…walking barefoot in the sand.

Lunch with friends, a starry night…the beauty of a flower
walking in the rain, a picnic…singing in the shower.

Sharing a kiss a

5 Things

Come to me baby
You're much too far away
Come, let me hold you 
These five things I must say:
1. I want you, and 2. I need you 
3. I dream about you too
4. I long to be together 
Love you? 5. Yes, I do

INSTIGATING

In my country 
For you to make sense 
You need to have money
For you to be respected 
You have to throw money around
For you to find love
You need to have money.

Every effect 
A cause 
 A man's wife may either 
"Make" or "break" him
Everyone has their 
own style of expressing things.

Forgetting we're souls
Not the body
