Minion love

Maniacal minions

Make much merriment

With madcap moves

Made to amuse

Summers Past

The summer's here and so are we
Gazing at the youth we see
Remembering hazy days gone past
Those crazy moments we thought would last
Now we relive every line
Of that lovely by-gone time
Through the young eyes near our hearts
Watching fondly all their starts
Knowing only that this too will fade
Leaving only an intangible shade

Eyes Open

Long ago I looked
At what I might turn out to be
And there I saw a shadow
Of a person just like me

A watery silhouette
Of potential coalescing
A smokey, hazy being
On the edge of slowly morphing

Today I looked again
And quite to my dismay
The shadow had solidified
Into a deeper shade of grey

Potential had seeped away
Into the apathy of youth
And with sudden understanding
I witnessed the naked truth

Cracker-jack!

I love the way you make me laugh
A song, a dance, a whine
You voice a cracker-jack whirly-gig
Your spirit transcendent and sublime
Watching you skip along the path
A joy for all to see
As through your freedom we find our joy
A release from anxiety

Arthur Art

A stroke of genius flowing from your brush
A twisted beauty with heaving bust
Blended well with a crimson tide
A saucy air, locks untamed and wild
Blushed cheeks, with challenging eyes
A gorgeous gal and a vaulted prize
No better mind for works of gold
Than that a master painter breaking the mold

Fun Rhyme!

A game of words is what it is
A fun way to pass the time
Looking at life and figuring it out
Is worth more than a dime

Cabin Fever

Despite the warmth coming in
The days are growing long
Confined together this way
We fight to remain strong
With habits grating on nerves
The volume tends to rise
As we find ways to endure
Our many varied cries

Testify

Stony cold and grey are we
When called to testify
We have our thoughts about the world
A fount that won't run dry
But through it all we twist and shake
When the road is rough
Yet in the end we should realize
That our best is more than enough

External heart

Come close to me my little heart
And beat inside my hand
As you once did inside of me
Which was so very grand
Now you're part of this bigger world
And we just tag along
To shelter you from showers and rain
So you can see & live no wrong

Heart & mind

I've never understood

The workings of the mind

When the heart overrules

The logical results you find

Now I understand the benefit

Of listening to your head

Of not giving everything over

To flowery words that are said
