My Dear Poet

My Dear Poet Feb 2022

Will our love be strong
and stronger still
and never know till we love
and love till we do
will our hate destroy
and destroy the will
no doubt it may
and may indeed ****
so love me now
and hold me forever
and never leave me
You and me and ever.

My Dear Poet Feb 2022

You can do this

Sleep,
you deserve some rest
Tomorrow
You’ll be stronger
You’ll stand proud
You’ll even smile
And laughter…it will come

So sleep, be at peace
Have some rest
It’s been a long day
A tough day
But you were brilliant
You were beautiful
you can do this
And you will do this

Dream a Valentine

I fell asleep
on Valentine’s Day
I’m sorry
I didn’t write you
I was choosing a card
in my dreams,
sorry
I slept right through
Dreaming of a pen
to write
I woke the day after
too late to be my valentine
I sign
‘Your sleepy admirer’.

Oh Dear

Oh my
I’m going to die

Oh no
I don’t want to go

Oh dear
It’s goodbye from here

Though death is as certain as life
It always comes as a surprise

Sunlight Moonlight

Sunlight, moonlight
Come with their own greeting
Sun says, “good morning”
Moon replies, “good evening”.

Clockwork shift change
Little conversation on the horizon
Clocking in, clocking out
Leaving and arriving

My Dear Poet Feb 2022

Hanging by a thread

I lost my button
off a thread
on the day when I wed
left with a half open tux
Though it hung for awhile
it fell, rolling down the isle
and down dropped my trunks
The people ‘woo’
and applaud
My future wife
was appalled
“Do you realise it’s all about you?”
I pulled up my pants
bowing at the chance
I smile, replying “I do”

Holes

There are jailbirds who dig holes
to secure an escape

There are gardeners who shape holes
to plant a treescape

There are pirates that make holes
to bury a chest

There are gravediggers who fill holes
to lay souls to rest

There are thieves that drive holes
into banks kept shut

just like lovers (like you)
that leave a hole in my heart
