Girlrinth: Favorites

Valentine bleeds inside my shirt.
Mother's day celebrate kids' hurt.
Saint Pat's day just ****** Sunday.
July 4 fireworks scare us to pray.

Erosional Ebbing

Erosional Ebbing

My almost grown grandsons
see only a stooped withered
old man when they look at me,
no clue of the young man I used
to be. Or where I have been, the
things I've done. They've only
known me like this. Even 20
years ago, when they were born
I was already a senior citizen.

In my mirror I also see what they
see and can barely recall that
once upon a time younger me.

Time and the elements move
on leaving erosion behind upon
mountains and people too.

Erosion on mountains is
a slow process, we humans
are not that fortunate.

Brevity of the Autumn Light

May 12 Girlrinth

Marshal Gebbie

Brevity of the Autumn Light

Calm, the eventide is calling,
Soft, the tendency to smile,
Knowing well that good friends linger
Knowingly, to share awhile.
Greens and golds, the leaves are falling
Carpeting my path again,
Golden light of sunset calling
Rendering our view, aflame.
Would that we, this moment harbour,
Would that I, your smile retain,
Radiance in sunbeams falling
Intermingling love's refrain.
Fast, the moment softly dwindles
Shadows interceding light
Swiftly now the curtain falling
Bringing us unknown, and night.

Lost

Lost

Piano notes drift in the
rainy evening,
like sadness from a
clock.
You were the color
in my dreams.
The paint on my
canvas.

Check out my you tube channel where I read my poetry from my recent book, Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems.

Blood Bank Guy

Maybe Dracula

was a phlebotomist.

In which case,

he was only doing his job,

and pretty well, at that!

Gravity

Gravity

Whoop's!
I fell back to sleep
I let the gravity take me
And knock me off my feet

It happens to the best of us
The lower self prevails
Stumbles back upon one foot
Face to face with hell!

This time Divinity awoke me
And saved me from my pride
Now I’m not afraid too live
And I’m not afraid to die!

Dependence

May 10 Girlrinth

S R Mats

Dependence

I defiantly said,
"I don't need anyone
Or anything!"

Then took
A deep breath
And said, "I see."

We are all dependent, i.e. on things like the air, we breathe. Therefore, we have to recognize our dependance on one another.

My Little Friend

My Little Friend

She is only 3ft 4,
I could not adore her more,
That smiling face is always talking,
She is a little miracle walking,
Hide and seek,
She loves to play nurse,
Then...her treatment,
First things first,
So many challenges,
Each day is a test,
and when she is with us,
We are blessed

I work with a lot of special children. You're not supposed to have favorites but I can't help it this one is mine

CRAZY?

CRAZY?

I just can't take it!
I am crying out for help,
No one helps a stranger,
I don't even know myself...
I know that I am 'WEIRD"
I'd be happy just to "stop"
I wish it was that easy!
Believe me...it is not!
They've changed my prescription,
The new color is cute,
I "must take with food",
I don't wanna puke.....
Imagine a pill that helps me to "stop",
Makes me *****,
Thanks a lot!

Just musing on a friend who went crazy. He said the whole time, he knew he was nuts. He just couldn't stop.
