TINY TOKENS

TINY TOKENS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a smile exchanged
a lingering glance
a gentle touch
a note subtly slipped
a warm embrace
tiny tokens of love

Tokens

A flag draped box on titanium stand
Bears all that remains of a noble man
A father’s pride, a mother’s grief
A widow’s tears without relief
A son whose memories begin to fade
As the soldier is solemnly laid
The torment a brief eternity
Brought by war infernally
Driven by other men’s desires
We raise yet more funeral pyres
And watch again our young men

Tokens

Got a bag of old tokens I keep near to hand
They have served me well when travelling through this land
Never gets turned down, it's money in their banks
Each one is labelled and just simply says "Thanks"

As I move along this ol' road that I'm upon
I may visit with you but soon I will be gone
I

Tokens of love
Can be big or small
But remember that
They count when from the heart

Give with the best intentions
Give with light and healing
Give with love and kindness
Give with everything

Remember that you love them
Remember that you care
Show them how much they mean to you
Show them with consideration and sharing

Tokens of love

Just Tokens-

You’ve misspoken my heart is broken;
You’ve insist you’ve witness;
A winked eye, a blown kiss;
Most of all these things are just tokens;

Tokens In Exile

Seconds hunger
 days unweaned
compression fracture
broken dreams

Minutes uncounted
hours unnamed
 Humptiest Dumpty
in pieces again

Yahweh once spoken
reason besieged
tokens in exile
pagans to grieve

One for the money
two when it’s shown
oracle harlot
—cursed and dethroned

(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)

Tokens

I used to think of tokens 
in terms of appreciation
Until someone mentioned 
something in passing 
they said they had grown weary 
of being a token 
What a curious thing to say 
is what I thought at the time 
But I soon got to see it all 
for what it really was 
It often starts off

Tokens of Love

A sparkling web with pearls of morning dew,
Sweet-scented rose or rainbow up above,
Will make me pause remembering God's love
As nature's free delights bring joy anew.

Tokens

Apt aim arts
Set swift start
Prize poise parts


Tough times tell
Spice sure sell
Words work well


Glimpse good gloom
Bright blogs boom
Reap rich rooms


Craft clear cuts
Bright bold buts
Grace grand guts

Little Tokens of Love

Little Tokens of Love

Each day for wisdom I pray
To lead them in the right way
For strength and grace from above
Wonderful little tokens of Love

You make my world bright
Amazing little lights
That kindle love's fire
You are all I desire

Sweet little tokens of Love
Amazing gifts from above
My world of wonder and delights
All through my days and nights

You show

And we have become
so cool     so   cool
collectible tokens

bike courier
popping up everywhere
selling pills
selling time
ambiance
reality
through the TV screen
strategic
comedic relief

character conflict

bike courier heroes
saving the world

and can we admit
we are so cool
when we feel it
know it to be true
no more just 
a job exists
we will always be
just
the messenger

Love Tokens

wilted flowers and candy
that's well past its sell by date
are the tokens of your love...
the trash can is mine!

Tokens

Jolly works best
This funny zest
In playground fest


Laughter greets fun
Here on the run
With blazing guns


Entertain that flow
With games that show
A stress-free blows


One by one see
Sheer fun crazy
As poise can be


Luck of the draw
In frame and flaw
In fighting raw


Be beyond blame
Games thrill bold flame
To crave a name


By this fun world
Let play unfurl
Raw nerves that swirl


Playtime now gains

Spring Tokens

Music now fills the fragrant air,
Yes sing and dance to greet fresh spring.
Stillness reveals a waking flair,
Play with the chance of bright greening;
Reach state of mind that nurtures health,
Instinct frames poise in surge of act;
Note what you find in waves of wealth,
Gather calm voice to frame deep tact.
Think upon ways of quest that styles,
