Poem.... Everything's quiet
The snows came
Endless white
Following humans
No longer in sight
Like a white ornament
On a tree
A very long Christmas
This will be
Some will survive
These endless snows
Huddled in caves
Where nothing grows
Most things have died
Not much to eat
That struggling deer
Soon to be meat
Hard to tell
Day from night
Looking out of cave
Nothing but white
But peaceful it is
This planet of white
Humans now gone
Everything's quiet
OCD Poem
I will take time
To stop this rhyme
That sounds the same
Like a refrain
Stop it I say
No rhymes today
Maybe OCD
Has me in sway
Can't stop the rhyme
Trying one more time
To no avail
What the Hell
Poem.... Homage to Pay
We push ahead
And mask our dread
With Lollypops dancing
In our head
But some of us do
See as untrue
Those intentions
That hold us like glue
We see the sunrise
A small tear in our eyes
Getting ourselves ready
For that unknown surprise
But love for what was
Has now passed us by
And beauty of life
Now written in the sky
We look at each other
Not running this day
But facing each other
Our homage to pay
Poem.... Screwed
Am I here
Or am I there
On the ground
Or in the air
Will I answer
Or just be still
Up a mountain
Or down a hill
Are they listening
Or just polite
In the daylight
Or late at night
I know this for certain
Or maybe not at all
I can walk this tightrope
Or maybe fall
Don't be concerned
If this seems skewed
For all the promises made
We will be screwed
Poem..... $Promises
Funny about money
It can be
Ink on paper
From chopped down tree
Or bits in a computer
How much you desire?
There is no limit
Can go much higher
A trillion here
A trillion there
Need a zillion
Not a care
At the end of the day
When we sleep
The computer keeps on
$Promises to keep
Desolution
Your hard winds blow
Rusty gates abangin
And dark skies show
We knew you were acomin
Just a matter of time
Those fast days of liven
Days so sublime
Now you come to claim us
To put us away
A new start acomin
A new day your way
Your dark face now ashowin
Your winds screamin by
You did try to warn us
Now children huddle and cry
Poem.... Flower Dream
Sleepy was I
Dark was the sky
Head on a pillow
Heard geese fly by
Was thinking of purple
Or maybe blue
Dreaming toward colour
Even red will do
But brown creeped in
Followed by black
Eruptions of green
Flowers in back
Startled and awake
What did it mean?
Colours of abstraction
Now a garden scene
Drifting off slowly
Back to the scene
Those colours I love
Now a flower dream
Poem....Long Time Ago
I breathe the air
Always there
Plants always giving
For us to be living
For we are one
Gift of the Sun
Always emitting
Never quitting
Awareness of beauty
Never a duty
Ours to know
This wonderful show
Can it be a pleasure?
That life is a treasure
Prepared for this show
A long time ago
Poem....This Colorful Day
Purple mist
Rolling over red
Swirling, twirling
Images in my head
Sienna hovering
Just above blue
Fading dots defining
An image brand new
Black running down
Stonewalls of gray
Love where I sit
This colorful day
Poem....Kind Words
To say a kind word
In midst of anger
Will it be heard
Or become a stranger
It lies there unnoticed
That kind utterance
But it glows and grows
With new exuberance
It gets larger
Message gets clear
I'm here to help you
To take on this fear
Anger changes
Takes on a new face
Distrust displaces
Kindness takes place
We move forward
Leave fear behind
Words that were spoken
Words that were kind
Poem....Boyfriend
I threw paint on his car
In disgust
The girl he was with
I don't trust
Soon he will come here
All whiny
A new paint job
Bright and shiny
He thinks those roses
Will do it
News for him
You blew it
Poem....It's OK, just another day
To fix my criticisms
Nailed over them
An old piece of tin
Still rattles in the wind
It's OK, just another day
To fix my pride
Spray painted it
With an old rusted can
Of what looks like gray
It's OK, just another day
To fix my superiority
Took a hand full of glitter
Sprinkled it head to toe
A new me to know
It's OK, just another day
To fix my insecurity
Got some duct tape
Left a slit for out to peer
Now nothing left to fear
It's OK, just another day
Poem....The Spinning Wheel
Spinning wheel
Goin round
Never stopping
Never down
Dreams we have
Always there
Spinning visions
That we care
Will they stay
In our dream
Or become reality
A spinning theme
Either way
Dream or real
Life goes on
The spinning wheel
Red Bull and Weed
Just what I need
To start this day
In a usual way
They say I look fine
Like a glass of aged wine
But I know the truth
In my state of uncouth
Things to do today
Will be put off to play
That game I do
The one never through
But the colours are brighter
The sidewalk is whiter
What was I supposed to do?
I haven't a clue
Poem.....Unknown Games
The day's go by
In flickering images
As hard as I try
As sure as geese fly
My head says stop
To slow the pace
But on they roll
An unknown chase
A proud flower near
And soon on the ground
And winter's snows
Soon to come round
The images repeat
Who runs the frames?
That guide my life
To unknown games
Delusion
Sweet Delusion
You make my life possible
You give me visions
Of what can be
You take those dire predictions
And scatter them like dust in the wind
You fill me with joy
And wash dread down the drain
Some call you spin
Some call you pretend
I call you friend
Poem.....Ponder
The door is locked
There is no key
No blue skies
For me to see
The thing I did
With much thought
It never occured
I would get caught
How to stop
That drilling rig
Piercing the Earth
Enriching the big
How to save
Migrating geese
Their graceful landing
Into pools of grease
I pulled the drill tower
Flat to the ground
Set fire to the trucks
Parked all around
My intentions were good
Save this green Earth
I now have to ponder
This Cause I gave birth
