The beauty of you
Erasing ugly in me
Like fresh falling rain

A lone mourning dove
High upon the roof
next door
Singing my sad song

Disco light so bright
Still shining in the Night sky
Planets dancing by

Death is but
A breath away
Waiting to catch you
As you fall
Into the abyss
Life holds on strong
To moments more
Precious than gold
A treasure not to Bury
But rather to enjoy

I wander for words
Through hallways of
Humanity
Where words are
Easily found
And sadly displaced
A dictionary cannot
Describe
But perhaps feelings
Can

Letters when combined
Can make words that come alive
Dance upon paper

Read between the lines
What is really being said
And what is written

Can't express in words
What I know I want to say
Thus begins my poem

The man in the moon
Why a man not a lady
The woman's a star

You are a minute
In the hours of my Life
Sixty beats per second

Poetry we shared
Over the phone at night time
For a good night's sleep

Oh how a child
Can teach us
To grow up

Fall  is all around
Brilliant Oranges and yellows
And shh mum's the word

Such a lovely day
Such a peacefulness
Around
The world stands so still

Fingers growing weary
Waiting to hold
A pen
Flowing with words
Paper patiently waiting
For scratching of words
Making a sentence
Someone
Out there
Waiting to be told
Words
So a poem
Can begin
Its' journey

Skin made of Porcelain
Cracked in a million pieces
Too broken to fix

I write when I'm sad
Just chasing my blues away
Waiting for the sun

Take a deep breath in
Claiming the moment
of Life
Quiet and listen

A little boy
Runs to
I run  from

You could not bother
Just to say it all out loud
So you wrote it down

A New day is here
Colors splash across the sky
Glad to be alive

Felt oh so empty
With Your Love I am
Fulfilled
I have been made whole

Fall is drawing near
Oranges and bronze appearing
Time again for change

All there is
To share
All there is
To do
Let's complete today
Tomorrow may
Not come

Not served for desert
And sometimes hard to
swallow
Slice of humble pie

I just cried so hard
You just smiled and laughed
It was all over

Moon shining brightly
On a poster board of
black
Checks in with the world

Night draws to a close
The moon kisses me
Goodnight
Peeking through the blinds

Oh warmth of the sun
Casting shadows on the ground
One of them is me

Need to fly away
High above the barren trees
Leaving not a trace

A Haiku a day
Taking time to gather thoughts
Keeps the angst away

New moon or full moon
Blue moon or just quarter moon
What phase are you in

Flying high the sky
Winged creatures soar
Twisting and turning
Freedom all about
Over roof tipped houses
Cluttered streets
Littered with garbage
And debris
Circling over rivers
And streams
Blanketed mountain tops
Welcoming trees
Oh to fly
High above and over
The majestic sights
All around

Dog ate my poem
Or could it be bad gateway
Poem non existent

Moonlight on the wall
Dancing creatures all around
Scared of my shadow

How precious the sound
The laughter of a child
Just enjoying Life

Silence can be loud
Noises can be magnified
Heard for the first time

Taking a giant leap
From the muck and mire
Called Life.
Ready to wipe clean
The sludge and the mud
Of yesterday's mistakes.
The sun is appearing
Will it harden or soften
This thing called Life

Friends of sort
Sharing
Ideas
A dream
Or two
Maybe even
Three
Laughter tears
From yesterday
And today
Food to share
Places to go
Books to Read
Games to play
Nothing like having
A friend
To share
A thing
Or two

Something about the
Word Care
Care package
Care bear
Care notes
I Care
Someone steps out
Of comfort zone
To bring comfort to
Someone else
Though it feels
Nice to be cared for
It's nicer to Care

Seasons of the moon
How I stare at you
in awe
Wondering what's next

Today I take pause
For all the people who died
Always remember

You are orbits away
Circling my universe
Spinning around
And never stopping
Leaving ashes of
Residue
From unsung words

Life is all around
A worm wiggles on the ground
A boy scoops him up

Lollipops across
Love down
Reminds me that
This is no longer
A game
But a thing
Called
Life

Morning has come
Hot tea
Milk No sugar
Afternoon following
Chai tea
Warm milk No sugar
Evening comes
Mint tea
Warm milk No sugar

Sun atop my head
Warming me fromhead
to toe
It makes me smile

Breeze whistling through
My sleeves
Sending chills up
My spine
Bringing a warm
Smile
Upon my face
Transporting me to
A time
Not too long ago
Where leaves of
Golden color
Gaily spun in
A whirlwind of
Flashy clothing
Leaving behind
An aroma of
Woody smoke
And a reminder
For some
Apple cider tea

My heart is ready
Amidst it's fault and
It's pain
Waiting for Gado

Oh the things
That we shared
Toys to play with
And fight over
Games to play
Win or lose
Tops and sweaters
A tear or two
Tissues for blowing
Straight from the box
Tickets to movies
Listening to songs
Sharing stories
From books
And friends
Writing letters
Sharing news
Hellos and goodbyes
Somehow knowing
Nothing could end
