Hand Talk
Drab Aug 26
I wash them when I come inside.
I wrap them with gauze the wounds won’t hide.
I seem to be on my way.
To rhyming everything my hand doth say.
Monday?, August 2th, 2024.

At least it rhymes....

Pathologist or Cops?
Drab Aug 30
The cops were lots, but the docs won out.
They took me and my mum in for years.
The families, the friends, the memories are still here I know...
That’s what matters to me.
August 30th, 2024 – Dedicated to my Uncle Bob (aka “the Doctor Quincy of Orange County”….and Trev and Georgy, three fine people in blue suits), some of the most influential individuals in my life. For those who have strong experiences contrary to on these vocations, my father used to say, “Life is not a bowl of cherries”. (You can finish it if you want)….8<

One winter's day.

Call me a nephew, and I was there.
Look at a mountain, and I was there.
The streams of tears, and I was there.
Humanity, and it was there?
Oh. Hark, I must pause...

The compromise, and it was there?

or here?

The news, ban those butheads.

All of them!

Amen

On yonder dawn,
I see the light.
I go towards it.
It's flight of fight
But I step through,
And see my fate.
So i can just do something.

Perhaps I'll remember later..

The Spider's View
Drab Sep 3
I killed a spider just today.
He was walking by, as if to say
Here I am, I’m big and free.
The freedom’s gone.
What about me?
I left him there.
So he can see.
Me on the throne.
Of infinity.

The boy was new,
He didn’t know,
There was a conspiracy,
About to throw.

He went along, a dreary trail,
Flanked by his friends, the car was pale.

The very old and the very young.

He sat behind me,
In what was paradise.
In a French Cafe in PR.
I thought it was nice.

And then he did something.
I noticed about he.
The anger was boiling.
The things that might be

Another human being(s)
Wasted on earth.
However it happened
She/he were never heard.

Dab’s Dilemma
Drab Aug 31
You take me for granted.
I can tell every day.
It’s not that I’m complaining.
It feels normal in every  way.
I sometimes feel alone.
But then you come around.
And remind me of my humanness
A surprise not so profound
08/31/24 – I really need to stop whining. I call these last few poems “The Depressive  Series”.  All due respect to mr. lars von trier, or however you spell it. I’ll cut it out - 😊. “Sorry about that chief”

Oh dear.
Please forgive me.
I read the most soaring poem.

Yet my outstretched hands.
Can’t quite grasp the prize.
Of making sense.
Of my mind’s eyes.

I’m not really cruel,
I’m not really nice.
But my inner self.
Is as cold as ice.
No(te):  ice – Neat please…..

Kali's Eyes
Drab Sep 9
The girl that came in with the aqua blue eyes,
And took my heart without any lies,
A perpetual love that I have just for her,
She’s an uncorrupt one that has an innocent allure.

She has a father who is loving, and caring though straight
Right to your gut and I love him as a mate
And her mum is a flower that will never decay
The girl like I’m thinking of in every which way

I would like to know her better but she’s so much aloof
She pretends to know me but I am not a goof
All I know is that I love her even though she is three
My precious one granddaughter who's name is Kali.
Thursday, May 8, 2008 - She is my granddaughter and is a beautiful young woman now. Her eyes aren't aqua blue any more but I'll take what the world got. Fledgling poet though i still am and always have been.

Two pounds came out later.

Prayer, Lost or Poem?
Drab Sep 6
You know you have indigestion.
When your stomach growls
And you think it’s someone.
Trying to break into the front door.

These are things that must be explored.
Not abhorred?
Or all aboard!

You mustn’t fret.
It’s just your ears.
They turn to dust,
Inside your fears.

Amen

It was held open with toothpicks.
A valve in its womb.
Held on by threads.
Seen by everyone in the room.
A time when I looked,
From within, from just five.
It’s not as good as being dead,
But it’s great being alive!

NOTES – Hmmmm, another name would be Pathology Blues. Changed my mind.
