Rebirth
Leaves turn – time to go
Slowly green morphs to yellow
A new tomorrow
Learning
Seasons come and go
Thanks for the wonderful show
Something new to know
The End
I hear the truck roar
Destruction’s outside my door
But trash is no more

Without our parents
We would all just be two halves
Somewhere else, maybe

Grays are Lies
To write with the dawn,
sky’s to rise to brilliant eyes.
To her I am drawn.

Tests Are
Sunday mornings are:
times of quiet and peaceful rest,
shared zest, feeling best.
~
We Are We
We are as we are.
We’re at the place that we are.
We choose who we are.

Our world awakens
Sunlight shines on green through white
Balmy days, nights bright

If not for the pen
There would be nothing to hold
Treading sheets unknown

The rain has fallen
A new day’s blossoms begun
Together as one

Conservatism:
Cons, ex-cons and conned trumping
the Constitution.

It must be love when
passions can’t be expressed in
haiku’s of amore
~
It must be love when
our hearts beat faster by a
footstep at the door
~
It must be love when
broken hearts are aching yet
we love all the more
~
It must be love when
burning hearts blaze hotter than
science can measure
~
It must be love when
our hearts are left shattered yet
chests still hold treasure
~
It must be love when
all life appears inspired
and our hearts feel pure
`
It must be love when
only a greater failure
seems to reassure
`
It must be love when
our hurting hearts are healed with
love – the only cure
~
It must be love when
hearts and minds know not, but it
Must Be Love – for sure

A Nervous System
A pain in the neck
can be caused stepping on toes
of another’s heel
~
More Parties
The only answer
to this two party system
is to party more
~
Symptomatic
A system failure
is when a failing system
is systemic

Only Reflection
Depression is when
the fog passes and the dark
is only more clear
*
What’s Right
When optimism writ
Pessimism can be erased
Realism then left
*
Libra-tions
Balance achieved when
heavy hearts and weighty souls
meet a mind on point

Factors
Division added
when negatives multiplied
equaling sum mess.
~
Simplicity
One and one is two
And when the two’s me and you
No more math’s to do
~
Why
The numbers don’t lie
There’s too many ways to die
But more if we try

A shadow we share,
people stand frozen to stare.
But groundhogs don’t care.

Rings True

Mutually daring
Quintessentially caring
Lovingly sharing

Howling

Up before sunrise
Down by noon, dreading blue skies
Awaiting the moon

Dimensionally Stable

Having thought outside
The box for so long, I’ve now
Become Tripolar

Loopy –
The more time is spent
In the mirror, the more time
Reflection’s needed
~
Focus –
Poets see the world
Through a fish-eye and themselves
Through two-way mirrors
~
Good Luck –
Broken mirror shards
Though unfortunate leaves much
To reflect upon

Too Little Rhyme ~
Life is Poetry
Some is good and some is bad
Most we’ll never see
*
Forever’s Never Last ~
Our writing is the
Exercise that forces us
To live fitfully

Con-Tent ~
Home’s where our stuff’s stored
A store is where our stuff’s bought
Bought’s where our heart’s sold

Speaking Volume
.
Writing in peace is
When screams are muffled by the
Voices in your head
~
Cell-less Cell
.
Lonely is having
An imaginary friend
That won’t return calls
~
Chewed not Deterred
.
To write is using
Skeletons in your closet
To appease the wolves

My Love
A look, touch – A kiss
Hands, bodies – Tactile bliss
Love – Nothing’s amiss

My Friend
Heart strings stroked feel heat
Neck caressed long and sweet
Rhythm head to feet

Begin’d
How humans learned
They died for knowledge yearned
Trial and error’d

Be
Belief in karma
Is a real bitch sometime
Non-belief always

Always
The love never had
Is love never forgotten
Heart always broken

Thanksgiving
Rainbow on a plate
Sharing the diversity
Thankfully giving

Taxing Tax Free
The nice thing about
being an author is you
wrote your own paycheck.

More or Less
If you try sometime
you do find you get what you
tried for but no more.

Dueling Wits, I Coulda Had a G8
If a sum’s greater
than its parts, then parts lacking
must be a summit.

Birthday Cake-
Candles blaze, wax pools.
Sugar glazed time on a dish.
Slices of life shared.
Familiar Paths-
Life’s familiar path:
Birth, growth, love, toil and refresh,
relax and recall.
Birthday Wish-
They said “Make a wish”
I wish it not my birthday.
WAIT! – Nope! – didn’t work.
