Down Time’s Up

Counting days when days count.
No seconds, our minutes mount.
A peak’s seen when vision’s clear.
Future’s felt, what’s where.
Question answers, dare to dare.

Buzzed

Out for more coffee for our first meet,
I was typically late, she saved a seat.
I had a bit of the jitters when we did greet.
Her smile sent tingles from my head to feet.
We nibbled on goodies, but she’s the treat.
My cup of tea found and oh so sweet.

It’s Time

Time ticks forward and never reverse.
The future’s here. No time to rehearse.
Friendships await behind every smile.
Love can be found, but may be awhile.

T.G.I.M.

The weekend is upon us.
But we’re to be apart.
It will be the first time,
since our fateful start.

Time will pass more slowly,
until again we meet.
And a kiss will be our just dessert,
just all the more sweet.

Drive

It’s time now for a ride, delightful it’ll be.
Because it’s my love I’m going to soon see.
Our night spent close, as they always are.
Now driven by passion, nothing’s too far.

Flow

In a poet’s eyes future’s seen.
And the hands of time will pen.
Your kiss inspires another poem.
It’s not how but when.

So it’s time for another tomorrow poem,
because I’ll to see you then.
Our evening will be the most delightful.
Until we meet again.

Spaceshots

A coal fired space force; I hear is in the works.
A test flight’s needed, let’s send some jerks.
It can be its creator with lil Mikey by his side.
I’ll gladly pack lunch for their long ride.
Cozy in their ark, endlessly they’ll float.
Lost in space, the pair can forever gloat.

Never Too Late

My darling works early today.
I think of her smiling when on her way.
But I woke up late without a rhyme.
Her alarm will ring and I’m out of time.
.
But those wheels will turn.
And pencils I’ll burn.
Words will appear from the blue,
then rearranged to say “I love you”.
.
I send her a text, her phone will beep.
She’ll reach for it, fresh from sleep.
Her day then starts knowing I care.
And in my heart she’ll always be there.

Reality

I woke today without a brain
Could be the heat or the rain
Could be the chill or maybe I’m old
Could be work and getting things sold

But as I ponder with coffee nearby
I can see the blue that hides in the sky
It makes me realize all we don’t see
It makes me happy someone loves me

My sweetheart slumbers miles away
But together we’ll be later today
My brain needn’t function to love or feel
And when we kiss these feelings are real

Divine Creation

The weekend’s begun with a cloudy start.
My love is away, I alone with my art.
The evening will come and laughter we’ll share.
Our time we’ve created with passion and care.

Memorable Hues

A night alone but I’m not blue.
Another day and I’ll be with you.
Now I’ve time to ponder and appreciate,
our time together since our first date.
.
A cup of coffee in a winter chill,
I was greeted with warmth, remembered still.
Seasons have past and love’s grown for you.
Our autumn awaits, never again blue.

Shared Rhythms

Though our timing maybe late.
Our meeting feels like fate.
Now together we have found,
the future we are bound.

The rhythm of our ways,
sure to brighten our days.
And cheek to cheek every night,
we’ll slow dance into our twilight.

Sleep or Dream

When I close my eyes and my mind rests free,
I see my love smiling back at me.
I feel her touch and hear her soothing voice.
Now to sleep or dream is my nightly choice.

No Falls in Sight

Our summer’s now near to end.
Joy’s found with a new best friend.
Autumns turn we’re soon to see.
And together closer we will be.

The winter warmed when we did meet.
Spring blossomed, our feelings grew sweet.
The future’s unknown.
But seasons have shown.

Our time’s vibrant, never gray.
And our love shines brighter each new day.

Little Pricks

A little critique of critics;
their last line the next predicts.
With none to explain,
they poke and complain.
But the hardened unfazed by pricks.

Morning Triku #173 ~ Occasional Hubrisity

Just an Expression

At last old enough
for age to be an excuse
to freely express
~

Heads or Tails

With age comes wisdom
but all things are relative
so wise up not ass
~

Poetic License

Deep down a dipshit
lying in wait to squirt forth
and conquer an ode
~

Earth, Wind and Fire

It’s the last haiku
till syllables dance with lines
in three dimensions

Virtually Touching

A touch of a button and on its way,
it’s a virtual kiss to start your day.
I can feel your lips while you read.
A feeling I know and will always need.

Graduating Gradually

We make mistakes to make things better.
We write the story then change a letter.
Life’s a test and a game.
Perspectives vary, results the same.

We give our all and then some more.
Still the loses many, that’s for sure.
Time does grade you and me.
Be your best and the best you’ll be.

Fearless

The week is long, our night is near.
Just hours from now I’ll hold my dear.
I’ll whisper I love you in her ear.
She’ll hold me closer, our feelings clear.

The time is now, we both are here.
Smiles soon from both appear.
Her lips part, its love I hear.
Bound together, we have no fear.

Scaredy Cat

Found a scarred baby kitty near my house.
I snuck up from behind, quiet as a mouse.
With the speed of a rabbit I swooped to snatch.
Firmly grasped this beast was no match.

I wrestled it home then in a box placed.
But out it jumped and off it raced.
Hours passed, they’re nowhere in sight.
Darkness brought hunger, I turned on the light.

Heading to the kitchen to sharpen my knives,
a delicacy awaits, best of our lives.
The table now set but the cat still unfound.
My stomach growled with a roaring sound.

A smell overwhelmed one I knew well.
The cat had pooped, I slipped and fell.
Hitting the floor my head hit hard.
Waking much later, the kitten stood guard.

Rolling over I grabbed the fury beast.
Then back to the kitchen to prepare this feast.
With pepper, mayo and onions diced my way.
Our sandwiches gobbled then together we play.

Love Notes

This morning’s note to say all’s well.
Our love rings true, clear as a bell.
The past’s behind and some was hell.
Our flip-side sounds sweet. No need to dwell.
