He thumb is green
He grows a lot.
Wether it's in age or flowers
Or weeding pots.
His dog is about as as gray as he
And they shuffle around outside
Shuffling.
He keeps his time well to himself.
No use for material wealth.
Keeps up his ride
Each Saturday at noon
Goes to church every Sunday with his wife
How cute.
Picks out the litter outside my porch
With his quiet little stroll and cane
While I smoke and watch.
We had a conversation about music once
About Simon and Garfunkel, Skeeter Davis, and the Beatles.
He has some ink on his arms from youth
Back when he was fighting wars too.
Military vet
I know cause his wife likes to brag.
He's always asking how my day was met.
And I asking to help
To carry his bags back to his house.
No thanks, I'm fine.
You're so kind to ask.
You don't hear those kind of words from my generation class.
I saw his kids visit only once.
Like gran Torino, he just tolerates the bunch.
Get off my lawn!
With a shotgun in hand.
He'd be so badass had he done that, man.
Always first with his helping hands
Trying to spruce up the surrounding land.
Maybe I would too if he
Showed me how to plant some seed.
My garden is imaginary
But real flowers grow on his side of the street.
The elderly gent in 608
Is someone I look for on a daily rate.
I wrote of him because he's entitled to
Being heard of and remembered too.
But don't tell him you heard it from the chick who lives in 702.

Afraid! Of whom am I afraid?
Not Death—for who is He?
The Porter of my Father’s Lodge
As much abasheth me!

Of Life? ’Twere odd I fear [a] thing
That comprehendeth me
In one or two existences—
As Deity decree—

Of Resurrection? Is the East
Afraid to trust the Morn
With her fastidious forehead?
As soon impeach my Crown!

Connection to the past

There is a generosity in your eyes
You give what can't be given
To heal the past, to heal your friends
A childlike innocence keeps you driven

Before it heals, it haunts you
Your life is stiff and without play
To forget you must forgive
I feel nostalgia for today
A poem every day.

I noticed a lady sitting across from me today.

See, she had a worn face from living hard, and tough hands from working harder.

And her piercing eyes, they screamed five words:

Don't let me be forgotten.
Just a short thought.

I want to be a
Hunter
Looking for
The evil
And to capture it
And lock it
In the darkness
Where no man can go
And release it
Wanna lock the evil in me
So no one can release it

Daniel, you are
My perfect boyfriend.
You listen well
And play guitar
You let me rant
And never ignore me
You talk to me
Before anyone else
You laugh at
My dumb jokes
You tell me my poetry
Is the best in the world
You make me feel
Beautiful
You come back to me
Even though I was the one
Who got you in trouble
And forced you to leave
You never forget
A special event
Or anniversary.
You give me
The most thoughtful gifts
You love me
And even though we're
1,608 miles apart
You fell in love
With me.
In responce to a challenge I recently reposted... Forget who it's by. Anyway, this is a poem about DANIEL, my internet Boyfriend, and the best boyfriend I could ever hope for

Love,
           does never die
But,
           like the setting sun
It,
           slowly sets and fades
Then,
            it just moves on

People come into your life for a reason
Some are for the better while others a mystery
I think of those words that made me better
Or the people who helped along the way
Life might have more struggle than victories
Life lessons have concepts that are hard to grasp
Don't take the day for granted live life to the fullest
Make the most of things make them happen
The pain let's up in the heart of love
Sometimes it's physical take care of your body

He was old when I was young.
Now I’m old, and he’s long gone.

Owner of a small-town store.
Plier of all those knick knacks
and delicious snacks that
a young boy desires and adores,
tiny fifty cent to a dollar toys,
a handful of penny tootsie rolls
and five cent laffy taffy,
with silly jokes on the wrapper
that brought a little lighthearted laughter.

Small brick building
and in the back was
his home.

Now the burnt red bricks
have lightened and cracked a bit,
like the memories of him,
fuzzing up while slowly fading,

till he is the foggiest of impressions.

I try to recapture any ****** expressions
but only recall vagaries.

The building falls behind the sun,
but his family has not yet moved on.

Soon the night will descend
consuming me as it has devoured
my memories of him.

Who you is
And why I go
Gotta purr at first
About that line

Who you is
   Heard you say so
Heard us get back
         Get back
Two less keys end my pain
          Get bad,  Get bad

We lean? Enough
In time wire me that
     Enough, checked in about
Who you purr? Defend that line

My works haven't faltered
Upon the change
Upon my name
Wild plays the days the rent

That jazzed I'm paid get gone

It stole your ears out your eyes snoop

Newsom and aoc have law as democracy in their possession as it may be written until another round of funding fraud may travel in campaign of free speech today.


I am a journalist
Y'all literate
That's Diplomacy
You best when they ain't a teacher
Bye byes
You ain't have no rights woman
That's a warden looking at all legs and happy eyes

I answer that question
Black lives matter ain't nothing to re energize
They got you on the battery
Your next moves is he as glad as me
We in a civil war
To no me is to be free
The answer is yes I'm Irish
All along the inner side of inner space
And your ? Gone

The fifth the Georgia
The hurt done heard ya
To report
1. General assembly of interpol in order
2. Peaceful assembly of ink, in time
