New

A year has come to a close
Another petal off this rose
Hoping for far more bliss
All the heartache won't be missed.

Looking forward

When will I feel like myself again?
When will it all clear up again?
Is this the future I must face?
The progression that leave a subtle trace?
I'll bear it, yes, if I must
But in better days I have to trust

Brunch

Having brunch with everyone
Is always just loads of fun
As we sit and chat about
We all give thanks and never doubt
That it's been a very good year
And it's time to face the new without fear!

Thoughts

What do you do when the spark is gone?
What do you do when the day is long?
No one to hear a thing you say
No one to take the pain away
Only thoughts to pass the time
And make you feel its worth your dime

Merry Christmas

No inspiration tonight
Just lots of love and laughter bright

Gratefulness

So here we are one year gone by
And so much has changed in our lives
For the better we all agree
Despite our lows and occassional misery
We've been blessed far more than most
So for our comforts we raise up a toast!

Anticipation

The lights are low and the candles burn
The tree is lit, the presents packed
And the little ones yearn

A magical night for one and all
Filled with joy, we're guaranteed a ball!

90

Wow, a milestone few can reach
In life you've now got a lot to teach
You've seen more than we'll ever know
You've earned the right to choose the show

Light bulb

An idea is a funny thing
It can grow and wither
All in the same day
But those that flourish
You know were meant to stay

Just a thought

Just a post is all it takes
A few choice words
To raise the stakes
Let's just hope the sun never sets
A brazen wish in view of it all
Just not wise to place any bets

Silly haiku

Awake too long already
The blue jay told me
Why did I crave that sly worm?

Count down to Christmas

Gathered about the tree of light
Such a sparkly, pretty sight!
Let's all join hands like in the book
And sing together with a catchy hook
The best time's coming around the bend
When joy & pleasure never seem to end

Spark

Fill your heart with joy
Smile and be free
Never bend to sorrow
And you'll always carry Me

Getting closer

Another day closer to the end
It's been greater knowing you, friend
But maybe we'll make it through
And help to start this world anew

Fine line

Insanity is a state of mind
In which genius can reign
But so too can evil and finding balance
Is the ultimate game

20 + 7 + 1

Far too much sadness
For the heart to survive
May they rest in peace

Yul-tide

A dusting of snow to set the stage
Bows and tinsel are all the rage
A drink or two to break the ice
And colleagues talk of all that's nice

Get over it!

Your anger is a joke you know
To world it's a farcical show
To rant because of entitlement
Is the curse of advancement
Thinking the world revolves your way
Is the saddest thing to say

Too bad

The tying up of strings
So many years along
Doesn't really make sense
And seems so very wrong

An attempt to regain the world
When it's clear that you have slipped
A fallen angel now walking around
With burnished wings that have been clipped

Go back to what you were
And give us what we crave
Then all the adulation
Will come crashing down like waves

More thoughts

Again the question begs
Did we witness something grand
Was the dot a star, a friend or foe?
Or was it merely something bland?
Maybe one day we'll know
Maybe the dark will start to glow
Or maybe we won't care
Because we'll finally see what's there.

Alone?

Are they really here
Or is it all just fear?
Do MIB save our hides
Or is it something more contrived
One day we might know
For now the seeds of doubt we'll Sow

Reflections in

What does it feel like to watch your body decay
Knowing that your best is slowly slipping away
Feeling youth's vigor diminshing with each blazing dawn
And knowing that your strength is now more pen than might and brawn
We'll all feel that approach far quicker than we know
Since a lifetime is but a blink in graxious gaia's shadow

Starry skies

Beautiful star gazer, what do you see?
A starlit sky or more of me?
Alone with your thoughts, your eyes far away
Wish you'd voice your heart and make my day

Looking back

I never really wanted
To be the way I am
But maybe long ago I chose this
A quest to learn everything I can

I know for me it's not the end
No matter where I go
I've several lifetimes yet
I assimilate all I need to know

I felt the decision early on
When I chose a different path
If I had stayed on the spiritual
I may have not needed to come back

As it stands I'm sure
That the future of my soul
Needs to mature greatly
Before being considered whole

New tech

Brand new toys are so much fun
They seem to fly for everyone
No more squinting down at you
A larger screen displays true
And now another three years I'll be
Making the the best use of you and me

Careless

Ungratefulness is a serious trait
One that builds resentment slowly over time
Think before you act, because your double standards
Are seriously affecting your shine

When people would talk, dream and sing

Sick

Ah the roiling sensation
Of your guts all coming up
Nothing short of disgusting

Crutch

Only constant love cures any crutch

Cloak & dagger

Coded words, shrouded words
Cloak and dagger stuff
The kind of existence suffered
When enlightened minds weren't enough

Now we've swung the other way
To extremes both good and bad
Flaunting our sheer openness
Whether appripriate or sad

In the shadows the wheels still spin
Working throught the grain
Knowing that in years to come
It'll all go down the drain

Valley of Fire

Away from all the noise
In the stillness of the air
You can still imagine beings
Who once walked and ruled there

Displaying the earth's magnificence
A tremendous coloured land
Of power, grace and beauty
All carved from rock and sand

Visiting was a privilege
Walking there a gift
Of soul and prayer and rememberance
A momentous ancestral lift

Thank you for the brilliance
Of unending natural change
The creation of a bastion
Far beyond our meager range

Spirit walk

If rocks could talk what stories they'd tell
Of water, movement & the spirits they knew so well
The ancient traces of their strength
Enduring through this awesome length
Shattering the nearby vanity
Of those who look but do not see
Maybe one day we'll stop and feel
How so much more than this is what's truly real

Red path

Reds, greens and shades of grey
Blues, yellows stretching a long, long way
A well-used path for newer feet
A spirit guide waiting for you to meet
The call above speaks to your soul
As the eons clash making you whole

Temporary Absence

For anyone reading...

I'll be away for the next few days (until Monday). As I'm not sure what kind of coverage I'll have, I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep posting while I'm gone. However, I will most certainly try! Rest assured (for those who care), that I'll be writing while I'm there and I'll post them all when I get back!

Cheerio!

Break!

Heading out along the trail
No end in sight, we cannot fail
Our minds bereft of work and need
The only though left for us to feed
Is time to lounge, relax & unwind
For our inner peace we came to find

Trouble shooting

Okay. Step back and take a breath
The only thing happening is we're out of our depth
No longer sure of each step we had to look away
To feel along the edges and hope to have our say

Relativity

Crisis is a relative term
Used for death & bad perms
But overall we tend to see
Life's true gravity

Anticipation

Oh the anticipation that once used to be
It's sad not knowing your sweet anxiety
Now the days fly by and never do I feel
That if it was that day, it would be more real
Gone the rush of fun, of waiting and excitement
Of knowing that the wait would not bring disappointment
But that's reserved for youth, the nectar of the new
Since with each first expression those remaining are but few

Mall

Drop those coins they don't mean a thing
They won't make you smile like that brand new bling
Shop, shop, shop until you drop
And then cry and cry when you can't stop

Good hair

Good hair. We all have it
Even if we don't see it
All the rest
Just won't pass the test
But it's what we face
As part of this race

No smile

It never fails
It's late, so start the wails
No quiet ever after
Long ago was the laughter
Now it's all faded
As we're all jaded

Snowstorm!!!

Get off that horse
And look outside
There's a damn good reason
Why you can't ride
Unless you want
To be swallowed whole
You stem that flow
Of insane vitriole

Clarity

It's funny how little it takes
For life to affirm itself anew
To see again the beauty
That had escaped from you

Each tiny little turn
Can make things crystal clear
And help you through the cycle
Started with each new frozen year

Illusion

I pour myself into
Something that looks so good
But knowing that inside
You won't react as I would
The outer shell is what
I like to see and touch
But the inside is far
From what I like so much
I guess its harder to feel
When the mind gets shut down
But its also much harder to see
Through the creases of a frown

Last Dance?

Can a house contain
All the energy of falling rain?
The noise, the clutter, the unending clamour
Of those who chose to wander
Down this road as a family
Learning the lessons we cannot see
Hoping that it'll be the last dance
Around this world we stupidly call chance

I'm 5 now

You looked at us and said
I'm five! I don't have to go to bed
In the morning you chide
I'm five! So, what I wear I decide!
At the table you declare
I'm five! I'll brush my own hair!
Little lady growing up so fast
Wish childhood a little longer would last!

Saturday night

How to ruin a real good time
Just keep talking of an imagined crime
Hang on to your assumed guilt
And weave yourself a righteous quilt
A tapestry of fear and suspicion
That everyone wants to create division
The rest of us will step back and sigh
Knowing that well will soon run dry

Lil Bro

All grown up with nowhere to go
For you've already seen the very late show
Your handsome face is much older now
Yet still you've got us wondering how
You want to live and choose to act
And all of this despite the fact
That the aches tend to linger these days
The noise creates a lasting haze
We wish you well and pray for you
Since to your nature you'll remain true

Real cheer...

G&T
Great for you and me
Over ice
Real nice
Yup, weekend's here
Let's all cheer ;)

Look inside

What's going on little brother?
Are you trying to run from your other?
No matter where you go
You'll always tag along, you know
So best to come to terms with it
Accept that you don't have to split
Stay and give yourself a chance
Instead of turning in this downward dance

The beat

Someone said we kneel at the alter
But it's so much more than that
Hearing the notes that bring us joy
Move our souls and with our emotions toy
Returns us to that forgotten place
That paradise we all come from
It reminds of where we're heading
And helps pace our steps as we're going

Simmer

A dollar a day
Should very well pay
For all the things you want

For at your age

That you should have to turn

Yet of that share
You have to bear
A small amount of blame

Since all we do
Simply angers you
When from it you could learn

80s punk

It's gonna be loud
It's gonna be proud
Inside we'll shout
We'll pummel and jump about
Rage to the stage
No one acting their age
Singing in the heat
Feet stamping to the beat
In the end we'll all sway
To the breaking of day

Little nursery rhyme

Little light shining brightly
Through the clouds way up so high
Watch over us morning, noon & nightly
As our lives drift slowly by

Destined choices

Clad in feathers head to toe
Put on your mask & then let's go

But we don't care for it's very near

We're all booked and waiting now
Everyone has told us how
It's a dream made real for us
In illusions we've come to trust
But we will see now with our eyes
If it's solid or like fireflies
A wave of excitement & indifference too
A fantasy both old and new

Happy, Happy!

Tiptoe

Little mist fall over us
Create that shield we crave
Caress our skin with softness
Envelope us in a gentle wave

As we fall into that dream
In which we all are grand
Guide us softly so we don't fall
In fact, please hold our hand

Brightness

Fall to your knees
You know why
You want to touch
But you're too shy

Smile nervously back
Despite the nerves
You've got to act
It's a future of curves

This is all brand new
The world feels thin
Like shattering ice
If you don't win

So give it your all
Let the magic begin
Make that call
And you might be let in

ER

Three hours later we're all fine
So happy to hear baby boy of mine
Watch your step and look sideways too
As running about is too draining to do!

Dandy

A mess of hair with
A perfect curl pointing in
Speaking of sensitivity
But with a rakish grin
A soft and soulful gaze
From beautiful & deep, deep brown eyes
With a sparkle of mischief
Which tells us it's a bunch of lies
A modern dandy
With Yankee flaire
Bespoke strides, cuffs, hems
Wearing what others would not dare


This hasn't really turned out, but I'm too tired to try and fix it tonight!

Sigh

Let me fall into you
Lose this dream
This rose coloured hue
If I could know reality

And I'd return to normality

Still a sucker

A rising tide floods my soul
Discordant notes still make me whole
Your voice cuts through the fog and rain
Causing me such bittersweet pain
Tantalizing peeks of what you are
Glimpsed from here, so very far
But still I feel a connection there
Riding the sound waves through the air
I've waited now and the wait's been good
As it's brought freshness as it should



- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

F-you!

Don't talk to me that way
You can have nothing more to say
Your vile, mean spirit eats away
At your soul, now turned to grey

Before too long you find
That you'll be left behind
Chipping away at the grind
Learning that it's better to be kind

Don't believe the hype?

Are we all being watched
From the morning to the night?
Are our movements tracked
Is there just cause for fright?

Looking all around us
It sometimes seems too real
That monsters are in control
And our fire our ignorant zeal

What a big fat lie

Well, would it?

Skin as white as snow
Lips as red as the rose
We all know the words
We know how the story goes

But what if the snow was tainted
Touched by a mortal hand?
Beauty only skin deep
Underneath nothing too grand

Would it take away the fable
Leave us wanting more
To know the heroine human
And not a legend of lore

To Dan & Lou!

A burst of white

For dancing, clapping

Everyone is so easy to please
When two become one

Reflections

Reflecting on this world of mine

Watching diamonds as they shine

Remembering friends lost in time

Wondering what will clear this grime

Pondering why people mime

The joys they sell on a dime

Savoring the taste of homemade wine

And feeling that sometimes we're all fine

And as questioned by Tam... 

Why do these words all rhyme? ;)

Creak, creak

Feel the burn when the joints do bend
Another relay of pain to send
Coursing through nerves of old
Fearing sweat and severe cold
Every drop of rain that's not
Lodges in bones that are shot
Never understanding why
Only knowing we can't fly

Dirt

Here we go let's search the store
For all those things we've bought before
Another helping of less than best
Another suit to reflect the rest
We've made our choices and now we're stuck
We simply have to clean up the muck

Apples

The ripened fruit looked oh so good
Just gleaming in the sun
An autumn breeze caressed the trees
As we were having fun
The children's faces gleamed with joy
As sweetness filled their mouths
A constant chirp of crunching leaves
Joined by effervescent shouts
No better day to join the bands
Of families joining in
Going about a special day
With faces showing grins

C'est vrai que j'pense souvent à toi

Red moon

V for vicktory

And so the truth will out
Through tears we kvetch and shout
But in the end we all can see

Strength pulled from within

Sweet song

And wondered why you left
Those sweet, sweet words are heaven sent
And always leave me so bereft

Rapid race

Running to catch up
Running to slow down
Hoping for a rush

Where tranquility abounds
And around us only grace

Temudgin

From steppe to steppe, I ruled the world
With blue-sky God watching over me
I gave my life to a greater cause
To unite my people, to set them free

My path in life writ in the stars
Now my name might be revered
But in my time when I walked the earth
I made men tremble, my name was feared

I strove through hurt, cold and pain
Enduring hunger, frost and rain
Through blackest night to earliest dawn
I rose from nothing to legend's mightiest Khan

Screamers

Value the silence
It's become so very rare
But when its more common
Will we miss the noise-filled air?

We tell ourselves no
But time will only tell
As now the fulfilling quiet
Is constantly shattered by a yell

We'll know quicker than ever
Just how much it means to us
When the nest is empty
And no one's left to fuss

Alter

Take me on a joy ride
One just meant for two
Under constantly moving skies
A veritable panoply of blue

Try to figure out why
I crave this crazy song
Longing for your verses
From dusk through night 'till dawn

Chase away the dew drops
So that our knees stay dry
While we silently worship
The melodies that made us cry

Let's give in to love
Let's find out all we can
That heady dance of devoted bliss
Uniting God and man

From ancient times to present days
We've brought this melding down
So let's indulge our lives a bit
Before we all just drown

Step 1

Now the desks are placed
And now the books are shelved
Maybe we can begin
To finally allow all thoughts to meld?

About time

For what it's worth
You've found your life
Now give in to rebirth

Stop messing around
You've past that line
And at night you'll sleep sound

Anger me

Why the anger at your lot
Was it the break from home?
The constant, every day reminder
That you were left alone?

Now it's gone, it's in the past
But you have never left
Dictating how we ought to act
Lest you find yourself bereft

Of all the hopes you've ever dreamed
And wondered along the way
Why anyone could every have
What you could never pay

But maybe its buried inside
A scared and frightened soul
Who tries their best to anger
To fill that very dark hole

Entitled

If we could fly among the clouds
How great would that feeling be?
Oh wait! We can - in big steel cans
Yet we're unimpressed with our ability,
To soar through the air
Without a care
Essentially defying gravity!

Retro

Take me back in time
To a place where sensations were new
A world of promise and one of hope
Where we felt pure and true

The party that never ended
The week-long social with friends
Posing with the best
In too-cool, had-to-know dens 

Time has flown yes, it's a fact
No regrets, no turning back
Live now and make the most
Or sigh inside and fade to black

Truant Blue

Your presence makes me weak
It fires dreams both lush and bleak
At least the fantasy's real
The one where I can talk and touch and feel
Know that as long as your music flows
I'll be haunting all your shows
And for making my knees go week
With your saucy, playful cheek
This mind I give to you
You'll find it's a true yet truant blue

Provinicials

Another vote was cast
No different than the past
A slippery slope for some
Hard to undo what's done
Can folk truly believe
The lies meant to deceive
And think their very best
Will do for all the rest?
Now we watch and wait
Guessing our coming fate.

First leaves

The first leaves hit the ground today
And left us so bereft
Of all the joys that summer holds
As now there's little left
Only cold awaits us in the frozen months to come
So, those little leaves reminded us that we should enjoy this sun

Dark heart?

Once you've been there can you ever go back?
When the heart is dark and the soul is black?
Gone the springs of gold and green
When thoughts of love cast a sun-filled sheen
Where youth might see but an honest path
The harden mind twists through a maze of math

Will win out in the end.

Listen

They whisper all around us
And yet we fail to hear
Those quiet voices calling
Warning destruction's near

Maybe one day we'll remember
What our souls used to know
And bring back those ways
Where all was allowed to grow

We r clown

To have the gift of laughter
Is to see the face of God
To see yourself not seriously
Is not so very odd
Knowing that our actions
Just don't amount to much
Unless we've brought the laughter
We've really missed thr bus

Full

Let us rock the world tonight
And gaze upon the stars
The moon is a full and big delight
Challenging even the angry mars
No wind can blow us over now
Since we chose to soar up and free
Flying through the air is how
We from now shall forever be

They're Back!

Yes, we'll miss you when you're gone
We missed you now and you're back already
But it truly felt like an eternity

Mashing your words together we know the game
The ruddy cheeks and balanced frame
All part of the fun that we expect

Now sing for us our modern bard
Bring the magic, let run down your spine
And carry us away on that brilliant rhyme


Yes, it's a nod and an wink to a band away for too long. Doesn't come close to matching the brilliant lyrics of their lyricist - but if you read carefully, you'll know who it is!

Tipping

What are the tides that brought us here
Those stranger waves that showed no fear
Now looking back the horizon's bleak
As we notice now we're hitting that peak
That turning point where we must choose
Or risk forever a mighty bruise

Red Crow Warning

Never a moment to feel let down
Never a moment to wear a crown
Leave it behind and hope for the best
Knowing inside your apart from the rest
Hoping one day that others will see
What inside you know just wants to be free
Maybe we'll wake and know from the score
That we might have chosen a very wrong door
But late it's not until the end
For all the rules we can certainly bend

Late August

Reaching high among the leaves
The towering birches the shading trees
A touch of color brimming now
A hint of rouge to cheer each bough
Autumn's chill still far ahead
No rustic foliage has yet been shed
But just that hint of what's in store
Of frosted eaves and winter's roar
Is more than enough to make us steal
Enough sunshine to spin this wheel

Back

As you may have noticed, I've been rather quiet this week... I was away on a camping trip. There was no wifi and the roaming charges would have seriously dented my wallet, so there were no daily updates. As we just got back, I'm not ready to post any rhymes tonight, but I promise to be back as of tomorrow! Good night...

To the Wee Free Men!

The words all run together in a flurry of the best
A merry round of banter so different from the rest
No greater force than what a mind produces when given a chance
No purer art or character than those in this crazy dance

The northern wind is blowing now
Gentle yet but cold somehow
Reminding us that the cycles change
And pushing us to expand our range
For winter's frost is future dust

Two weeks

Let's kick this off with a whoop and holler
We're released from the chains, the noose & collar
A mere two weeks of ease and life
No running around, stress or strife
We've made this choice and now we stand
Enjoying fruits of heart and hand

Wine

My blood ran hot and I must say
That I'm feeling really pretty good today
No longer held by worry's noose
I feel happy, free and loose
The music served to free my brain
The wine washed away that constant strain
That drags and drags and drags on me
While I just long to be set free
I hope to revel in this blissful state
Until I slip through this mortal gate

Not so good

This body ours but for a while
Is maleable and tough, made to slog for miles
But this very short time
We've got on earth
Is made to learn right from our birth

So the title says it all... The idea was there but not the time for a proper execution.

A see of red in front of me
Anger coursing unchained and free

But these cards seem permanently stacked
Sometimes it wells and wants to burst
And in those times I think the worst

Back home

Just three days is all it took
Just three days and the walls they shook
Now I wish for calmer days
Of going about in gentle ways
But this rocky path we have to tread
Cringing each day with caustic dread
Until these years have flown past
As we truly hope this stage won't last

Bankers

Let's fix the rates and laugh
If we're caught, we'll call it a gaff
We'll excuse our greed and plead our case
Saying that it made this a better place
The most we'll get Is a slap
We all know we'll beat the rap!
So our pockets we'll line
With your dime

Bang, bang go the guns

Then just deny as we all fall

Not Again!

Slip sliding down a slope
Clinging to every ray of hope
Dragging down that caustic wit
Knowing in the end you'll split
But in your wake this trail of dread
Will haunt your days and dreams in bed
For as you reap so you will sow
All I wish is that you'd grow

With mortar and bricks

The blood is flowing freely and the red wine as well
When summer's heat rises it causes hearts to swell
With voices ringing sweetly as we sway to the beat

Before returning eventually to the lives that we all make

Lament

Walk with me for a while
I'll tell you tales to make you smile
Love and hope, what was and is

Go back we can't so all we are
Is held in close on even par

Lullaby

Close your eyes my little one

Flu

A day when nothing stayed down
A day of fear wondering what's going around
Once or twice we go through this rot
Hoping to heaven 24 is all we've got

As whatever we eat we're likely to throw

Bend

We're starting all again
A new found lively friend
Never thinking of when
We had a straw to bend

"It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory"

Your tears will wash the dust
And Casablanca will come calling
As all newer versions rust

Velvet

Let me sink into your skin

Passing dream

Lost in a candy coated dream
Where no one is exactly who they seem

They seem to have all ended up there

If we try we can spend time pleasantly

Where we'll display for everyone

Carrying the ball across the way

How many arrows can you dodge
Before one finds its mark

And breathe a relieved sigh
While healing all her wounds
Under a bright and cloudless sky

Green is what makes the world go round
But red is where the heart is found
Greenbacks push you to the top
While love is where the heart will stop

Scales

Trying to find a balance
Between the earth and sky
A meadow full of wishes
Of hopes both bold and shy

A twilight world of beauty
Where friend and foe alike
Feel the twist of irony
As convictions melt from sight

Is this what they talked about
When we were but floor high?
Believing all they sold us
Living the greatest lie?

Now the scales are falling
Not just for you and me
But for the world around us
Waking to stark reality

A Toast

Today is quite a special day. I have actually reached the one year mark. I posted my first poem on May 3, 2011. I have had a great time doing this. It has basically become a habit and I don't really want to stop. So, I am going to continue this thread because I have enjoyed it so much. It's true that most of the poems were terrible. Some were good (or at least I thought so!) but mostly they were a reflection of something I either saw that day, thought of, felt or heard. In any case, I hope you have enjoyed the ride as much as I have. Here's to letting the words out - come what may!!

 A toast to a year of saying it in rhyme
A toast to a fun way of keeping time
A toast in the morning with my cup of tea
A toast for the birds singing in our tree


    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One More Day

Yes, just one more day
Never knew there was so much to say
If every word was not ideal
Who cares? It was never part of the deal
All I know is that I'm having fun
And I may continue even after this run

Countdown

The countdown has begun,
I'm surely the only one,
In just a short three,
It will be done wonderfully,
And then it will all be just for fun!

Words

Gossip, gossip, gossip
No one wants to stop it
The nasty kind
Is not hard to find
But any gentle words
Must fight to be heard

Dinner

Above a bright romantic moon
A roots ska beat to make lovers swoon
A heady night amongst like kin
Means an easier time letting others in
A well oiled meal to ease the flow
With fermented drinks brought from below
Laugh now and later we all said
As the errant night has got in our heads

Issue

Issued from the skin But nowhere near to begin Apart in every way A shame we hide away

Mist

Why can't we know those secret things
Hidden from our eyes
Those truths so long forgotten
That they're now considered lies
It hurts my brain when I try to see
Beyond what we all can
But some day the veil will lift
And it will be better for every man

Are the words all left unsaid
And the memory of those things
That should have been said instead
But now the cares are over
Except for those now left behind
As they must gather the pieces
And continue with this grind

Hope

Again the sun's gone down And I've yet to erase this miserable frown I've never quite managed yet To win each and every hand I bet But in the end I hope and pray That every sunrise sees a blissful day

MIB

Let's step back and face the truth
That we are definitely not alone
Whether in spirit or in flesh
ET needs no telephone
Young and dumb we are
Believing so strongly that we can be
The only living beings
Found in our galaxy
We are but these tiny specks
Little more than dust
Striving for all that's wrong
While letting our souls turn to rust

Se-ren-di-pi-ty

Even when the hill
Is such a bitter pill
Providence comes through
To turn pink what once was blue

Icy, icy

To the darling ice princess
You had such a beautiful dress
But your reception was very chilly
It laid bare your wanting personality
And so we stare at the wall
In your frozen-over hall
Knowing that bell had a ring of finality

Whistling

A dream come true, or is it?
No errant friend to visit
An itch to change
A call to range
The possibilities are vast
And the future is coming fast
Holding true is old
And former dreams are cold
My hazy visions
Hold fast the seasons

???

Now that the warmth is here
People will break out the beer
The barbeque will blaze
In the balmy summer haze
And we'll all enjoy a cup of good cheer

Not quite a limerick, not quite a poem, not quite good, but all I've got for tonight!

Not long

The count down has began
It sped by as this was so much fun
A year seems nothing now
Not really a mighty vow
Less than a month to have my say
I'm nearly done - hip-hip hooray!

Why?

Two births, two deaths
Two camps, two mind sets
Which one to follow
Which one rings true
Which one is hollow
Which one's for you?
Is there a better example
Of our divide
When the same faith
Can have two sides?

Cleaner

A floral scent to soothe the mind

So I can wing myself away
Give me the wind
For my troubles to alay

Feel all that it is worth

Yes

Can His blood wash our sins
When we shed these mortal skins
Can His name take us home
When this earth we've seized to roam
Can His breath give us life
When we're done with this endless strife
Let His name be our guide
When in distress we want to hide
Let His path be our own
Until in love we have grown
Let His spirit be our light
In the darkness of our strangling night

Stuck

What to do? What to do?
Who can tell me, I'd love to know

Every decision fraught with woe
If I could see around the bend
I'd sleep far sounder on my pillow

Wilted

Your bloom was fierce

And now it's just the
Softly lingering scent
Of your perfume...Rose...anne

Wisp

Another day to earn my keep
Another day from work to sleep
Another song left unsung
Another hour of hands being wrung
Now look back and shake your head
Over words all left unsaid

Too early did you end your show

Dance

Dance right into the song
Dance until the sadness is gone
Dance until you lose your fear
Dance until you neither see nor hear
Dance until you are the light
And dance until it's all alright
Dance when it shines and harder in the rain
Dance 'til the beat drains all your pain
Dance with the music in your soul
Dance until the rythm makes you whole
Dance until the colours set you free
And dance in the wind and beneath the trees
Dance while this world spins around
And dance until the earth is drained of sound

Rose

Five petals on the rose
Holding firm to life and love
Witnessing together all that was
There even at the close

Another day

Yes, another day has ended
One minute I did not waste
Although I sometimes feel
That there's no reason for this haste
And then I look around
Remembering all the things forgot
Turn around and shake my head
Oh yeah, that's why our parents fought

The call

The stars were out tonight
Along with all of us
The warmth calling sweetly
Telling us all to trust
The days of bliss are nearing
If only for a while
With sun and summer to herald
It is but natural for us to smile

No worries

I don't want to look
But a have to anyway

Trapped

Trapped. With no hope of breaking free
Trapped. Feeling alive in spite of me
Trapped. But no one seems to see
Trapped. What we are meant to be

Walking around without a clue
Really not knowing what to do
Leaving behind just a shell
So obvious that I want to yell

Knowing very few can hear
As it means leaving everything dear
Even I cannot given in
As I'm addicted to this sin

Another one

It's a two-for weekend
As I was too zapped to submit
A rhyme intended for yesterday
Given that fatigue had blocked my wit

Sunny day

All the flights are cancelled
On this sunny day
No one going anywhere
Regardless of what they say
No fault of mine I swear
It's all beyond my sphere
Even though I really care
You're still not going anywhere

Mist

Seeing the mist hang o're the trees
Brings to mind forgotten memories
Of days when we used to laugh
Of days when all our cares were half
Of sweet smiles that could never be
As they lived where no one could ever see
But those rays of hope we had for tomorrow
All now seem to end in sorrow
The languid twists and hairpin turns
Have brought some joy and caused some burns
In the end we all must pray
That before our maker we'll have our say

Work song

To work might be a divine thing
But sometimes I dream of relaxing
Maybe it was too much in the past
Maybe it I knew it would never last

Not enough time haiku

My head is hurting
The world is spinning 'round
The day is too short

B. K.Live

A blinding light hit my eyes
Exposing secrets, revealing lies
Is this the same pair I saw
With beats alive and rhythm so raw?
A sweet falsetto contrasts the base
While a savage drum sets the pace
Let's all turn in before we're through
As moments like these are far and few

Let's go

Let's solve all our problems
By blowing each other up

By poisoning our own cup

And curse our brothers and sisters
While singing saintly praises in the same breath

Chugging along

Oh, how we punish ourselves
To do all that we must do
Knowing our limits is not enough
When work is long and hours are few
Maybe one day we'll finally have
A chance to make it right
Until then we'll have to find
Ways to keep going without a fight

Winding

No path you take is ever straight
They all start out the very same way
But quickly veer based on each step
In directions almost never clear
In time your journey does make sense
But sometimes along the path
You can't help wonder what's going on
When you just can't read the map

NY haiku

Bright lights, big city
Feel the rush of energy
There's nothing better!

Sorry for the miss yesterday - in NY for the w/end and I don't have constant wifi access. I promise to make up for it on Wednesday! I'm still working on the poems while here.

Quiet

Oh, the corridor of quiet
That runs the soul's length
Can get quite dusty
As years are slowly spent
The silence that we miss
Is really very dear
But sadly hardly found
When young ones are near
We have lost the art of loving
That idle passing shower
Enveloped in our mind
Enjoying each escaping hour

Insincerity

Let's all hang about and feed each other lies
We all know the score and hope the BS flies

Or try your fibs to disguise?

Trip?

Heading to the lights
To experience ever-wakeful nights
With little ones in tow
Want to share every where we go
To see the sparkle in their faces
When visiting new and far-off places
No better time to be had
To pull it off will make me glad

Grind

I missed you two and three and four
I understand why you run at the door
It must be hard for you each day
To hang around with each delay
It's rough for you and us as well
But we'll get through this tough, tough spell

ARRRGGGHHH!

Running from here and then to there
It's crazy how this race can grey your hair
I've never wanted such terrible haste
But it seems anything else is merely a waste
We're off now and we can't turn back
We've seen the horizon and it's banishing the black
So, for a year or two we'll run and run
And then wind it down for more relaxed fun

Trite but true

Choices, choices, choices
So many things to decide
But although we are not alone
It seems we have to hide
For few are the happy ones
Who smile when you are up
Instead they prefer to see
You trip and spill your cup


- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Ha!

Let me swim in that icy bath
Where waterfalls plead a lover's path
Mint green swirls of heaven and earth
I've known this way ever since birth
A wild-eyed dream, this may be true
But one that is not out-of-the-blue
A wish sincere to show our faith
Just hope it arrives before very late
For in passing streams you'll see the mist
Where from the depths will emerge the list

Slipping

Okay - twice this week I've missed a post. Not good. I'll try to keep up better from now...

One, two, three, four
Let's all walk out the door
Five, six, seven, eight
Let's not sigh and please no hate
Nine and ten
Let's start again
After all you are more than friends

Wondering about the hours that seem to almost fly
Never understanding the whys, the hows, the whens

Wile away

Sitting here wondering
Where do the hours go?

Uninspired lymeric

I needed another verse for the day
Since yesterday I had nothing to say
But today is no better
I'm grasping for letters
And hoping that this will suffice as a delay!

The boy from Brome

There was a boy from our home
Who wanted far away to roam
He went near and far
Then came back in his car
Saying I prefer a quiet farm near Lake Brome

We must all be strong

Song

What happens to a voice
When the throat is raw and red
Can one carry on
Saying the things that need be said?
To find a song lacking
Is a most unfortunate thing
But being unable to follow the notes
Is worse than not knowing how to sing

Round and round

Only smiles at the end of a long day
Curiously enough no tykes want to stay
To spend some time is more than they can take
All so we some money can make
One day we'll all be grown
And all such cares will have flown

Stuck

Where did my muse go?
I cannot tell
A continent of land between us
A never imagined thought
I shall find that muse again
One day soon, I know
For unless I catch that errant rogue
I'll have to remain below

Rush, rush

Hurry up it's already late
You won't have enough time
We are rushing can't you see
We will miss all that's prime

Joy

Sitting here soaked in wine
Feeling effervescent and terribly fine
Music rushing through my soul
Burning up with thoughts of every fantasy goal
Knowing that some things might never be
But the images alone are enough for me
As long as I have my imagination
Life will be one long fascination
I will again experience the crazy thrill of a random glance
Wondering if I still stood a chance
Basking in the warmth of a beautiful voice
Knowing that I've made the right choice

What was

Once very long ago
There used to be so much time
To sit around and dream away
Of all the thoughts you'd rhyme
But now the moments are precious and few
Weaving together only what we can
Cherishing only what we know we should do
And omitting all else from our plan

For you

I've come a real long way, it's true
But there's still so much more for me to do
I've nearly done and been all I ever dreamed
But every fantasy was not all that it seemed
So here I am realizing at last what was meant
To use each hour wisely and to watch how life was spent

Cycles

Teenage hopes and youthful dreams
Are full of promises and crazy schemes
Some will be fulfilled while others fade from sight
Some will be revised and others will keep you up at night
When we were young we had it all
Now we're just happy not to fall
We see our bodies age and grey
And realize that youth was never meant to stay
The sad lessons that we learned
Can hopefully stop our issues from getting burned

Yes we are one world
But again we are not
Not in the sense you think

White toes skimming the pavement
In a dance only the wind can create

As they sway breezily to the frozen band

Ah, to roll in green like some
Would really make my day!
Just for an hour to have that ease
Would be enough to pay
For all those things that cost too much
And require us to use a crutch
For we are the 99
For us there's just no cutting in line
