One day

I know I need the rest
But really couldn't care
I know I can't keep going
One day I'll stop, I swear
For now just let me be
As I'm happy and carefree

No stop

Rush, rush, don't dare stop
There is no need
Being at rest is unproductive
It's not written in our creed

Words

Some words are sour
Like regret and grief
Some words are bitter
Like anger and thief
Some words are cruel
Like yes and no
Some words are sad
Like never and go

Wilted

Your bloom was fierce
Your fragrance bright
Your beauty filled the room
Your petals soft
Your stem firm
But your time was brief
You began to wilt
And now it's just the
Softly lingering scent
Of your perfume...Rose...anne

Wait, wait

Waiting is so hard
Biding time a trying thing
Patience is a virtue
But keeping it
Is a teetering swing

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
Your presence felt from years ago
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

Writing anything was very hard today. RK, thinking of you, regretting days past and asking for blessings on you and those you've left behind.

Time-lines

15 minutes to change the world
But it's much longer for thoughts to unfurl
When time is short you must decide
If you will run or you will hide

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


- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

No worries

I don't want to look
But a have to anyway
A dwindling pocket book
Can really ruin a day!

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

Tough guy

Hey you, with the big, big head
What's that arrogant thing you said?
No one small in this area code
We all operate in power-saver mode
Next time pick a lesser battle
'Cause we ain't shaking off this rattle


- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Let's go

Let's solve all our problems
By blowing each other up
Let's decimate our future
By poisoning our own cup
Let's believe that God's our guide
Through this valley of death
And curse our brothers and sisters
While singing saintly praises in the same breath

Blank

Blank. I've nothing to fill this empty page
No thoughts, emotions, no love, no rage
With these few lines I must be sated
For this evening, no brilliance is fated

Glass

Trying to keep track of everything I do
Hoping that this luck wil always see me through
Knowing deep inside that the only certainty
Is that I'm breaking down but face it gallantly

Too much

Frozen fingers and reddened nose
Icicle lashes and ice-cubed toes
Oh winter wind won't you blow yourself out?
As we now long to see bluejays flying about

Miss J

A bit of persuasion is never remiss
Especially in matters of pride and prejudice
And in distinguishing between sense and sensibility
It is best to employ a little humility

WWK

Watching time
There is no rhyme
Wondering if
I'll fall off that cliff
Knowing why
I'll never fly

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

Winter haiku

Icy pellets fall
Bruising nose, cheeks and eyelids
Winter joys are great
