Dreamstate

Poem...Dreamstate

I want to do it
My better self says no
Know that I shouldn't
My Ego self says go

But there it lies
Chocolatey and sweet
Just this once
Deserving this treat

Or going to the tavern
In my new shoes
Those interesting glances
Which do I chose

Stopping at convenience store
This time to win
My lucky number
The Lottery again

On to the spirit store
That bottle to buy
To render me dreamstate
I need not know why

The Letter

Poem ... The Letter

Marks on paper
Folded and inserted
Into other paper
Put into a metal box
With metal flag raised
Picked up by a human
In a vehicle with wheels
And taken to a sorting faclity
Where the marks are interpreted
And delivered to the intention
Of those marks
Another human
Takes the folded paper
Unfolds and deciphers
And smiles.

Poem ... Abstractions

I want to hold it

But I can't
I want to possess it
But I can't
It flies just out of reach
Numbers on a checkbook
Messages on a Smartphone
Words spoken in haste
Tomorrow's promises
Yesterday's regrets
So what is reality
That knowing look
That other half
That move beyond physical
To what feels right

Evermore

Poem .... Evermore

Breathe in
A deep blue sky
A snow covered mountain
A dove flying by
Breathe out
Those things to do
Those with needs
That never are through
Life flies by but once
To give you that ride
Breathe in the joy
Good choices provide
That road in life
Passing fields of joy
Is yours for the taking
Is yours evermore

Into the Past

Poem... Into the Past

Inward I breathe
That vision I see
Of possiblities ahead
Of what can be
Of food we plant
To grow in Sun
And bring inside
When growings done
Of walks on dusty roads
Beside a friend
Of cutting firewood
For winter's begin
Of grandma's biscuits
Rising in the pan
Soon in the oven
And soon in my hand
When things become simple
Obvious to see
Our journey to the future
Into the past will be

Reds and Purples

Poem.... Reds and Purples

Reds and Purples
Make my days
Shining out
From dark gray haze
That path I follow
The one defined
By best intentions
Are thus aligned
Will I emerge
Into the two
Those Reds and Purples
To see me through
There are distractions
I must admit
But toward my intentions
I never quit

Sea to Shining Sea

Poem..... Sea to Shining Sea

We have the knowledge
To walk on the Moon
But lack the wisdom
To sing Earth's tune
To love the land
From Sea to Shining Sea
To keep the air clean
For beautiful faces soon to be
New cars to buy
New homes to build
New mines to dig
New stores to fill
Robed people on hilltops
Changing what is to be
Singing Earth's song
Sea to shining Sea

Thousand times more

Poem....Thousand times more

I could say I love you
A thousand times
And it wouldn't be enough
For that time must come
When our conversations
Must be with memories
When those words
From our hearts
Race across Galaxies
In desperate search
Of what once was
But until then
I say a thousand times more
I love you

Colour Distraction

Poem....Colour Distraction

Moving toward red
Move over I said
I am moving through
Don't want to see Blue
But I can't get red
Out of my head
Maybe if I stop
And takes break
Seeing purple
A distraction I take
Changing my path
From colour of red
And land me on
My true colour instead
