"fnd" poems
A wise man once said "I have a dream."
I dream in black and white,
and for me, my future doesn't look too bright.
A newspaper reporter,
and even if they're failing,
my bream boat never stopped sailing.
I dream that no matter how many doors are slammed in my face,
and no matter how many long I must chase,
I will conquer this dream.
A famous man did said "Dreaming is where the impossible happen."
Another wise man once said "Hope for a better future."
I hope that one day there will be world peace,
human cooperation,
and a bond of unbreakable love between every nation that expands across every ocean.
Blacks, white, yellow, tan.
I hope one day all wars and fighting will be ended and resolved.
I hope that every family and every friend will fnd that true happiness,
which is the reason for living.
And I hope one day to help take a step towards all of that. I hope for a greener world.
But a frog once said "It ain't easy being green."
A third wise man once said "Wish for a better tomorrow."
I wish that tomorrow when I wake up that I'll be able to make someone's day.
Fix a mistake I've made.
And work towards a new beginning.
I wish for the future to be able to be a new me.
To roll over each morning and kiss my loving husband,
make breakfast for my kids,
and I wish for a happy life.
But hey...A famous rock star said "You can't always get what you want."

A river that moves swiftly, yet harsh. No matter where you are, no matter how close you get, you may be able to hear the roaring river, but you will never be able to fnd it. You hear the loud beating of the roaring river, it beats louder and louder until the end of my time. And that roaring river is none other than, my lonesome beating heart........

When you live with someone who has Alzheimer’s
your house feels haunted
Mostly at night
Only ghosts wander like that
So aimlessly
It is metal pounding in the garage
a knife in my hand
and the deep breathed fear of
What’s behind door number 2
It is him halfway inside a dryer
Trying to get out
I sleep with my door open
listen carefully like a ghost hunter
for the way he haunts the halls
for the soft pat of skin on tile collapse
fnd the moaning
I carry him to the bathroom
He is the heaviest ghost ever
A different kind of dead weight
I light him a cigarette
The cherry glows red in the dark
The tobacco crackles with each puff
He calls me nurse
calls me some other name
one I’ve never heard before
He is just practicing
It is hard to be good at being so lost
Even now that I am a man
he still scares me
scares me differently
Startles me in the dark
comes around corners
crawls on the floor towards me
I am not always ready for that
Before
He scared me
the way a feral dog scares living food
A certain kind of animal inside of him
Now he isn’t so wild
Taming takes so much away
He is dark spots on tan paper
crusted blood on nose and head
yellow ET cigarette stained fingertips
He is me in thirty years
He is barbiturate slack jaw
Forward lean balance struggle
And at night he is so much a ghost
I forget about his good days and wonder
What’s the point?
My house is haunted
by a man who has never not gone
Bump in the night

how many years since we
heard from joe
a curious combo combing
hurt
and happy..
some inspired bass
some real *******
sensitive lyrics..
he was 6 foot 6..
his piano composition
is further inspiration
i felt
jealous and sick..
stepping out
i glowed inside
and howled along..!
into the light
young old
tv gone
fnd..
he made too
a song called cancer..
everything
gives you cancer..
listen now..
never hear live
a lively rumbo
or something..
and don´ t played
that piano..
good on yer
joe..
iv
not unlike
alladin sane
kind of
a bit
bowie
not so
formulaic
less structured..
he rambles
along
like tottering
on a cliff
a bit more
melancholic
there is a
lack of direction
and a child like
frustation
the genius
tired by genius..
the whole thing
lacking any kind
of melody
but quite melodic..
some of the single notes
might have been aliens..
lol..
and the pianist
was his first and only
cut..and saved the day
when we are
to plummet
into insanity..
there comes
the saxaphone
which purrs
and loves us
into breath..
and that first
boing!!!!
astrix joe jackson
a real songwriter..
