Cake.

By the time I got to see him
He was an old man grey hair
Thinly combed across his head
Still loquacious, bending over
Stewed apples gathered from
A wind swept garden of falls.

A proud collector of knowledge
Across boundaries and wisdom
Stretching age ‘youthfully ‘at gate,
City centre and poetry recitals
With copies of books for selling.

Love Maryxxx

Awake

I don't recall
But I know I was somewhere before this
Somewhere warm and bright
Alone or perhaps surrounded
I felt enveloped in contentment
Eyes closed but keenly aware
That time did not pass at all
Either forward or backward
A kind of active stasis
Waiting only a moment forever
I was at peace beyond measure
I knew neither hunger or want
Nor who or what I was
Only that soon I would awake

Marry Me

Love, will you grow with me
As we become who were supposed to be
Will you follow close always at my side
Despite life's waves and turning tides
Will you be the partner that I don't deserve
The one to guide me and calm my nerves
Will you Love, with your heart and soul
Be with me and make me whole
You're the only one I see
Love will you marry me

Drop off

We are the leaves falling off the tree
We are dying
To be reborn

Streams of Gold

Streams of gold
Flow around
My wounded eyes
Down to the ground
A gift bestowed
A melted crown
Too much to bear
In darkness drowned
My vision blurred
Soon now to fade
I rest my head
Beneath the shade
Please remember
What still can be
Don't waste the world
On saving me

Can You Name The River? (Riddle Poem)

numerous books and songs
have been written about it
and when spelling it you'll
require oodles of wit

its location is in
the northern hemisphere
and cotton and corn are grown
within its very sphere

it is seen to branch
into feeder streams
at the end of its long
interstate traveling gleams

slaves were transported on ships
to toil near the river's banks
and their colonial masters gave
them such meager thanks

the I's and the S's
get much mention in its name
so are any of you able
to figure out its game
