Never again
25 June 2021

Breaking rules of life inhuman,
There’s always evil doing.
Vowing stay this evil plight,
Truly terrible, common frights,
We moan, speak the game,
Never, never, weak again.
History, context set the bar.
Action of change and war!
Back then, we knew best,
Today still, some hearts rest.
Feel the pain of our past,
Damages forever last.
Once again, new in news,
Injustice, power choose.
I doubt we can truly change.
Stand up, hmm, feel the pain,
Is it ever, “Never again”,?

23 June 2021

Somedays I fill with wishes,
Winning lottery, youth and yacht.
When I put dishes in to dry,
I ought no lie,
To be more grateful.
For what I got,
Before I die.

So much dangled on display,
That will never come my way.
Grateful that I'm still free,
Don't need those things controlling me.

Life amazing every day,
Think I like it just this way.
Family, friends, smiling faces,
Everywhere in my favorite places.

Still once in an ever while,
I'd like to try that lovely style.
Wishes keep me in the aisle.

Strange.
20 June 2021

Science fiction?
Rain is forecast today,
Strange for the future already here.
My plans changed for it is Father’s Day,
Event that was certain in the past.
Books between book ends fail the tale,
Human time altered by expectation.
How much of what is yet to come is unalterable?
Tomorrow my birthday.
How many candles should be on the cake?

Upside Down
27 May 2021

Today.
My world seems upside down.
Like being on the wrong side of town.
I can find my way home, but not in a dream,
Stopping for ice cream and peace.
Deep breaths thru my skin to my soul.
Noises, sounds, you - strange,
Hold me.
My world, upside down.

When truth exceeds your reality,
Your are living last stage of life.
Acting fool for an ardent audience.
Deceived by frailty.

Yet applaud your effort for they too,
No longer fit the breadth of their shoes.  
Staggering  tracks on a wandered path,
Follow a dimming light that cannot last.

Discontinuity cues the final moment of the play.
How did i lose the way?

Simplicity
20 June 2021

Enough.
Give me the simple life.
No more can I handle.
Complexity and strife.
That is your beauty,
My wife.

When you are away
19 June 2021

I see you in every rainbow.
Taste you in each summer shower.
Immersed in sweet wet flow of you,
Falling from your tower.
