What if you slept
And what if
In your sleep
You dreamed
And what if
In your dream
You went to Heaven
And there you plucked a strange and beautiful flower
And what if
When you awoke
You had that flower in your hand
What then?
To my dearest friend,
Who broke my shells with patience,
For the warmth, trust and loving care,
And the spring of joy
That's gushing from my heart,
I have no words to express
My gratitude.
27-02-2015; 1987 From "Attempts In Poetry Writing".
And I scream out to the Gods pleading for help from above
It’s in here
My happiness
Even if you can’t tell me it’s alright
And I’m asking you
Is it really alright for you?

I know your pain
Because it’s dying inside of you
That’s why you feel so bad
But living means you feel everything
And dying is letting it all go

It’s in here
Your happiness
I want to give it all to you
But you have to win the battle
Because your life must be your own

I know your pain
Because I see you crying
The flowers are bursting forth
Every thorn raking your soul
So they can let the sun inside

It’s in here
Our happiness
If we can just forget everything
Except to kiss each another when it rains
And hold each other until the skies clear

I know your pain
My heart finally learned to love
I no longer have to wait
It’s happening to me now
Because you taught me how to pray
The verse may be gentle and Kind
But you find its Terse, when you read between the lines
The moonlight so Full Falls on an Embrace
But some have the Idea that its a Race
The Kiss so tender lips soft Lingering...
But they stab you in the back if the think they can win
Words so sweet, and its known in the End its Only a Poem
Its only a Poem.....JMF 2/26/2015
walk in to the room
a circle of souls
transcribed
to be seated beneath the tapestry
beat beat, strum strum
where are you from
here is where I am from
beat beat,strum strum
carry on as always
business as usual
always
downtown for a pint
sip sip, ** hum
let's get out of this town
let's do something with our lives
shall we?

I retreat to beneath the mountain
here is a home
Only in the hands of infinite creation
does man find comfort
When we were nine, you left your mother's home and told
the world you were going travelling. I still wait—
Hoping that maybe one day you will return with your sanity.

I have been waiting twelve years for you—and nineteen years from now,
I will be nineteen—because today is the day I start living,
sanely.

If home is where the heart is, build me a home in your arms. Make the walls out of your smile and the roof will be your eyes. The sound of the doorbell is the sound of you saying "I miss you darling." The furniture is as comfortable as your hugs. The only downfall is that this home is currently twenty seven miles away.
