Sending You Love

Poem....Sending You Love

Get off your knees
Get above the trees
Float with butterfies
See the blue skies
See the whale's spout
It's what Life's about
Hear your Inner voice
Beauty in the choice
Words of a dove
Sending you love

Shot a Tweet

I shot a Tweet
Into the air
and it landed
I know not where
maybe some Smartphone
to be proud
Or to die
In some computer cloud

Restart

Poem...... Restart

Vines climbing tall buildings
Grass filled Cracks on highways
Rusting cars in parking lots
Houses with collapsed roofs
Deer roaming vacant shopping malls
A chimpanzee bangs a stick
On a bent iron gate
We are in Restart
Will we get it right?

In Us You Can Trust

Poem... In us you can trust

Move along now
This they say
Nightsticks in hand
evacuate today

Cities not fit to live
Not much more to say
Board the buses
Must go today

Forget loved ones
Attach this ID
You will be told what to do
And who to see

Constitution suspended
Military we see
Police nationalized
We're told where to be

Highways nationalized
Abandoned cars
Streetlights darkened
Buildings with iron bars

Move along now
Our actions are just
We will take care of you
In us you can trust

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.

Abstractions

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

Rush to Nothing

Poem... Rush to Nothing

Seeking answers
To Life's riddle
Go here
Or go there
For this
Or against that
Things I do
A difference make
A world changed
Or simply another rotation
Another frame in the film strip
This movie seen before
The Sun waiting patiently
For darkness to fade
And I plan my grand scheme
In a rush to nothing

Suits and Ties

Poem.....Suits and Ties

I judged a guy
With cardboard sign
Beside the road
Taking his time

Why can't he be
More like me
A banker's job
Nine to three

Pension fund
Straight ahead
He just sits there
Hanging his head

All it takes
Is little white lies
And of course
These suits and ties

The Knowing

Poem...... The Knowing

That road we choose
Past trees of green
Past rivers of blue
Past words well said
It will remain
After we move on
For those who sing
A different song
And stars glide past
With increasing speed
Our need for knowing
All inside a seed

Arranged Reality

Poem....Arranged Reality

Is it real?
Or something I feel
An interpretation
Or Ego's zeal
Layers of opinion
Arranged in familiar ways
To create this bouquet
Of personal plays
Is it the same?
As others can see
Or just my arrangings
My own reality

Paint it Black

Poem....Paint it Black

Rolling Purple streaked with Red
Playful visions in my head
Dark shadows in my view
Streaks of White becoming few
Reality is just a game
Another truth for us to tame
To spin our interpretaion as true
And with a spray can paint it Blue
Or if that seems to be of lack
We can always paint it Black

Rush toward Uncertainty

Poem...Rush toward Uncertainty

We know love is near
Only a touch away
Only a glance and a smile
But there are things to do
There are places to go
Those things taken for granted
Assumed to always be there
While we amble in our distractions
Love takes flight
Like a darting butterfly
And we rush toward uncertainty

Limitations

Poem.....Limitations

Those things I would like to do
Pushing beyond what I should do
What power do I have
That steel glove of restraint
Pushing a palm in my face
There are consequences to pay
For you to have you way
But that illusion of control
Is no match for my impulse
And I go my merry way
Addressing limitations another day
