Common Sense

A world at peace, perhaps a dream,
with goals shared as a team.
A future bright for one and all,
tomorrows fears then are small.
~
Common ills conquered without bloodshed,
pessimism starved when all are fed.
Optimism shines brightening our days,
nights restful when worry strays.
~
Children are joyful when parents secure.
Generations prosper when time is sure.
Growth’s insured without need,
when the common good we all heed.

A New Day

Sunday awakened the very best way,
cool and sunny the rest of the day.
Alone I rise but with joy in my eyes.
For goodnights I’ll share but never goodbyes.
.
My darling awaits our quiet afternoon.
Impassioned am I to see her soon.
Lunch we’ll share after a scenic drive.
Fulfillment we’ll have, feeling alive.
.
Our time today short, but tomorrows there’ll be.
When awakened are we and each other we see.

Effervesce

Life is for the tasting.
Time is not for wasting.
Joy is what is found.
When tomorrow’s we are bound.
~
Escape the path of wrath.
The proof is in the math.
The more love that you share,
the more you are aware.
~
The more things that you see,
the more you’ll feel free.
The more things that you feel,
the more your life is real.
~
Though hardships get us down,
the winners wear the crown.
They toast the end of day,
tasting dreams there to stay.

Swearing

I woke today without a thought.
I tried to write as I ought.
The hours past, the writing naught,
perhaps a blockage I have caught.
~
But tomorrow is another day.
Will I write, I cannot say.
Will the blockage have its way?
Or will the rhymes come out to play.
~
Questions asked but answer’s few.
If not to write what will I do?
Will I feel sad and blue?
Or will tomorrow shed a clue?
~
I’ll let you know, wait right here.
I’ll try my hardest, this I swear.
Long or short, I don’t care.
Because it’s always best to share.

All Right

The day is gray, my mood is bright.
The air is cold but I’ve seen the light.
My darling slumbers, cozy and warm.
Together we’re safe, surviving the storm.
~
With a kiss she’ll awake from a dream.
Our eyes meet and our faces will beam.
The hugging continues meshed as one.
Another day for us has now begun.
~
Time will pass, eventually we’ll rise.
The future’s now clear in our loving eyes.
The dreams of day become the dreams of night.
Our tomorrows the same and that’s all right.

Well Thought Of

.
All this thinking may take its toll.
But why stop now, I’m on a roll.
As I ponder forever tomorrows,
the feelings flow, the writing follows.
.
Though forever a long time away,
my thoughts of you are sure to stay.
I dream of our future when I’m awake.
I feel you near with each breath I take.
.
I feel your heartbeat when mine is still.
I think I love you and always will.

Sun & Clouds

A sunrise missed and my mind’s askew.
Coffee and pencil’s here, but I know not what to do.

My darling sleeps while this morning I write.
And this world awakens from dreams of last night.

I’ve thoughts of love and work, the when and past.
But now the coffee’s cold, cos our time goes fast.

Then scribbled words on the page appear.
Or some cloudy premonitions clearly I fear.

This day’s unsure and maybe more rain.
Thought always we know the sun rises again.
