Ghostly question

Is the veil really thinnest on this one night of the year?
Can the other side be waiting just to heighten our fear?
Or is it more than a fancy, a flight beyond our dreams?
To feel this closeness as the year begins to fray around the seams?

Let us blend into the sunset,and reach between the worlds
To touch the hands that beckon,while our fright dissipates like mist as the sun unfurls

Birthday time!

Noise, commotion, happiness and fun
Watching kids yell, laugh, jump and run
No better way to celebrate another year
Than to fill it with family, friends and good cheer!

Green hands

Green hands really show your age
When every line looks like ground-in sage
But it is also a sign of things done well
A satisfaction that starts to swell
And drowns out the nattering chatter
That can drive us madder than a hatter

Jjjjjj!

Jolly juniper juggled gems
While doing a jig on a jiggly fig
She jumbled the job
While taking a jog
And ended up jangled in jasmine fens

A silly rhyme for all the kiddies out there!

Time

It's always the same for each of us
The same one always deals with the fuss
One gets to unwind
While the other must find
Pockets of time to cleanse their mind
Or let resentment grow
Until the next explosive show

Not so real, please

Let us swing down from the stars
And head out to the smoky bars
Where fame will get you far indeed
But where destruction comes at high speed
To remain the way we were
Is a fate more real and far more sure
So can we all just agree
That from now we'll all bathe in the open sea
And eat from vines the lushest fruit
And leave behind this constraining suit
That binds us while luring us in
With promises of pleasure and our grandest win

Samhain

All Hallow's eve is approaching soon
A time to howl up at the moon
And drape yourself in fancy dress
Be it ghoul or little princess
Let's celebrate the season's close
As the cold withers the rose
Knowing that for one night the veil will thin
And all the spirits will be let in

Soaring

Let's take to the friendly skies
To lighten all of our lives
To fly beyond the wisps of white
Into a moonlit, starry night
On wings of steel
We'll find what's real
And finally end this crazy
Round of less than plenty

A pirate's life

A mermaid's tears can give you life
But only on stranger tides
With a witty Jack to cross your path
A scally wag's hat and flask to match
No direction but what you seek
Is magic wound beyond skin deep
So a yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum
We've all heard the tales, now watch us run!

Outnumbered

Let's hit close to the truth
And hammer out the laughs
While we go back to our roots
Outnumbered we are, yes, it's true
But it's way better than just feeling blue

Past tense

I've left it behind
Because it was too heavy
And now I hope to find
Something light and airy
A new beginning to mend the old
A stronger bond
To have and hold
For of all of this I've grown too fond

Light

Let us be still and listen to the truth.

That intangible wisp of clarity that can light our way
Is so hard to grasp and will hardly ever stay
Unless we take a moment to stop and let it flow
Through us so we truly feel its glow

Fork in the road

So much is about to change
I never imagined going back to the start
And yet here I sit
With a much happier heart
Knowing what I do
I can imagine away the rest
And in my spare time
I will continue to strive towards that crest
One day it will all be different
And we'll have all we desire
Until then this new road
Is what will take us higher

Dharma

A happy home is all you need
The only fire you have to feed
Without it you will fall from grace
And lose your spot, your hard-fought place
On this ladder that we all must climb
The one getting higher from the dawn of time
For we've pushed heaven far out of reach
By sucking the beauty like a greedy leach
Now our only sure route back
Is a faith that so many of us lack

Out of tune

In heaven's name we were sent
Around the corner until we got bent
A smoking bullet through eyes wide shut
A constant roiling in our gut
Now more than ever the song's all wrong
I hope it doesn't last too long
This discordant tune is hard to take
When there is so much now at stake

What do you see?

Reality is more than what you see
No two people will share the same mentality
Your ears will hear one thing
But a different set will hear another ring
Your eyes a tranquil paradise behold
To others a social gathering before the cold
So, to insist your way be true
Is to claim you have a better clue
Than all the rest who share this space
And strive to keep up with this race

Choices

Hindsight is always clear
Especially when it is free from fear
The road not taken calls from the past
But would it have been a choice to last?

Hmph!

No faith in me
Of what I can be
Even though I've been solid for you
Because you can't see it through
I must now switch my path
And believe me you'll now feel my wrath

On hold

Waiting! Is there anyone on the line?
'Cause I'm just sitting here wasting time
My call's important or so I'm told
But in the meantime I'm growing old
Hurry up and answer me
'Cause this wait feels like an eternity!

Believe!!

Knowing when to cut the string
Can be a very empowering thing
A leap of faith that resonates
Through the universe and with the fates
To jump not knowing if you can fly
Will provoke destiny to reply
And more often than not
You'll soar - as long as you gave it your best shot

Red delicious

Cinnamon wafting in the air
Butter and sugar add some flair
Vanilla melting on an oatmeal crumble
Enough to make a belly rumble
It's apple season, that glorious fruit
So ripe and sweet and oh, so good
Once a year we eat them up
While draining the cider from our cup

The optimists

A tingle went down my spine
When you said that you'd be mine
The fates had clearly heard my plea
And altered my otherwise lonely destiny
Now I pray that time will stand still
So I can enjoy this loving thrill
For longer than the time I've got left
Before I depart, leaving you bereft
So for now let the moon be our guide
As we glide over the dance floor side-by-side

Congrats to Sir P and to the Duchess of A - both of whom still believe in love.

Thanksgiving

Another day of thanks
Gathering from all the ranks
Young and old, family and friends
Where tradition never ends
To celebrate our bountiful year
And thank those we hold most dear

COME ON!!!

Another day, another dollar
And it makes me want to holler
When I'm ripped off at the bank
Because security has gone lank
I pay you not to let my money out
Until I give you a shout
For if you can't keep it snug
I'll just store it under my rug!!!

Yes, my bank card was compromised - AGAIN. And money was taken out account AGAIN.

Politics

Are they really all the same?
Can this really be the game?
It's sad to think we've sunk to a space
Where loyalty and integrity are no longer common place
Where egos and strife rule the world
While wrong is slowly allowed to unfurl

Timing is off

A race is being run
A nightmare become real
When you want to move
But your feet are encased in steel
The motives are all right
The time is completely wrong
And when you realize it
You're very late for the song
The choir has started
The fun is being had
The one you love
Is sitting behind you looking sad
All you can do
Is promise that you
Will never again let this happen
And try for the next week your mind to sharpen

Golden Apple

An apple a day
Was the holy way
From time immemorial

In recent years past
This adage amassed
A new and devoted following

The message was clear
A new day was here
This fruit was much more than it seemed

A miracle cure
In a casing so pure
That anyone could enjoy it with pleasure

Now a daily part of our lives
The messenger dies
For completed was his Job

Angel song

A little angel sang to me
A haunting, bittersweet melody
A lament of all that the world used to be
When men and beasts all roamed free

Now the pattern has been changed
Gaia's bounty constantly being rearranged
Men and beasts now all deranged
For our ambitions are all too far out of range

Maybe one day we'll find our way back
Maybe when resources we begin to lack
And our drive starts going slack
Then we'll return to the path to retrace our tracks

Buy and hold... Or not

Rising up against the man
That old notion has a new fan
Who's joining now to bring them down
To smash that old and glittering crown
Out with the old, let's bring on the new
Where the many are fed not just the few
Maybe it's time to change our views
Since market capitalization is now old news

Time

Once upon a time
When we were all so young
When the world was not so complicated
And we lived for games and fun
I believed we had forever
To run this grand old race
Now I know much better
As evidenced by the lines on my face

Waiting room

Standing room only
What a way to spend my time
But if there's any trouble
Then it will surely be worth my dime
Better safe than sorry
Is what parents breathe
For nothing's more dear to us
Than our precious seed
