You should call right now
They are ringing in your heart
Before it's too late

It's so lovely here
Want to stay here all
the day
Tomorrow will come

Today I'm grumpy
Don't know the reason it is
Let me in my cave

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

And hard I travel
In this journey called Life
Searching for respite

Don't sugar coat
Your words
For me
Just give me
The rotten
Truth
Something to
Chew on
And throw away

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

We laugh we grieve
Of times together
Shared
Sadness Joy
Appearing on the surface
Disappearing into our hearts
Memories we shared
Are gone forever
Buried into the soil
All we share now
Is a glimpse of the heart
A whisper of a Prayer
What was
Is Gone
What is
Here to stay

Oh puppy in the park
Making a ferocious
Bark
Like a tiger
Waiting to get out
Chasing your shadow
Tripping on your paws
Making a ferocious
Bark
Like a tiger

Waiting to get out
Chasing Butterflies
Catching flies
Making a ferocious
Bark
Like a tiger
Waiting to get out
Oh we like the puppy
Chasing shadows
And tripping on our feet
Making a ferocious
Cry
Like a tiger
Waiting to get out
Chasing butterflies
Swatting flies
Making a ferocious
Cry
Like a tiger
Waiting to get out

Give me a big Gulp
Fresh from Your living water
Just to quench my thirst

Couldn't get on
Long time coming
Poems scattered
Lost forever
In the ashes
Of my heart
Where my poetic
Muses
Lay scattered
Round the world
I'm back
Hopefully to stay
Lest the technology
Of time
Destroys me
Once again
Hello poets

Don't compare drama
Mine worse
Than yours
For we are all
Lost souls
Struggling in
Our grief

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

As we remember
To shop for
A special bargain
Let us not forget
To remember
Our Veterans
Who fought and
Died for us

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

It looks like a
Moody Blues kind
Of day
Thoughts spinning
Through my head
Waiting to be released
Blues needing to be
Swept away
Not hidden in a
Corner deep within
Voices to hear with
Strong vocal sound
Relaxing your mind
With the rhythm of
Music
And words to
Ponder
Music that makes you
Escape to another
World
Other than your own
Oh it feels like
A Moody Blues Day
Need to
Turn it on

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

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

Darkness is coming
Pull the cord and shut the blinds
Let the moon dance through

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

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

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

Such a lovely
Peaceful time
The sun waking
From night's travel
Birds singing
Morning's song
Squirrels scampering
About
Fresh smells of
Neighbors breakfast
Time to grab paper
And pen
And write

Most times I don't  know
The words just pop through my head
I just write them down

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

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

You below the ground
And me I stand above ground
Waiting just for you

Funny how our memories
Are recovered through
Nature
Graveled trail to echo
The beat of your step
While birds chatter
From hanging branch
Sun peaks through trees
Leaving shadows to chase
On the chalky ground
Smells fresh as the
Beginning of time
A bubbling creek
Renews the senses
And plants new memories
Oh for the continous
Repetition
Of a symphony
Cascading with Life

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

Nighttime is coming
Did I finish my to do's
Tomorrow will come

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

I am not alone
My God is walking with me
And holding my hand

Song too sad to sing
Words too broken to
write down
Nothing can be sung

Lost my page
Lost my words
Pen can't write
Thoughts won't come
Emptiness takes over
Goes deeper then this
Clear the mind
Start again
Once was lost
But now I'm found.

Today my song
Goes out to.you
With tones of
Deep reflection
Echoing the pain
You may have
Of annual memories
You wish to keep
Deep within
Or toss heavily out
Memories over time
Resurfaced each year
Painful loving destructive
Depending
Some taken away
By a bullet a deal
Gone wrong
A quarrel
Drunk driver
Sickness
Others by choice
Never to return
May you reach
A high note
And be covered
In love
That will fill
A breaking heart
And cover the void
Blessed Father's Day
To you

Oh how a child
Can teach us
To grow up

Oh how I like
    Poetry
The rhythm of
The words
Tap tapping out
Sounds
Deep from the
Heart
Words of heartbreak
Tender words of love
Wrapped in memories
Of days gone by
Oh how I like
The sound of poetry
Refreshing words
A babbling brook
Of sounds
Immense pain
Healing and redemption
Confessions and
Lessons learned
Strength and glory
Thanks and praise
Words colored with
Nature and love
Rhyming sounds
Roving thoughts
A collector's smorgasbord
Buried deep within
And ready for release

Over the rainbow
Just over in the meadow
And over the moon

It's peaceful outside
Snow has landed on the ground
Whiteness everywhere

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

Words are piling up
Enough to build
A kingdom
When a moat
Will do

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

Words spinning around
Never ending in my head
You can't force a poem

Can't say them out loud
Memories stored in the heart
So I'll write a poem

Quiet is so loud
Silencing the world around
Be still and listen

Sprinkling upon me
Leaving Droplets on my
Nose
Time to dry off

Just started raining
Like the smell of wet concrete
Keep the rain coming

A little boy
Runs to
I run  from

Leaves crisp to the crunch
New aromas fill the air
New season dawning

Storms in my Life
Come booming into
My Life
Usually without warning
When it hits
Hits hard
Knocking down the
Calmness of the day
Darkening clouds
Overshadowing the light
Of happiness going on
But the light
Will shine through
Once again
Bringing sunshine
