For Long

Reckoning a day without end,

in fear of what will begin,

filled with fright and over-wrought,

a mind of nimble sin.

Count your days of all you lend,

to others for account.

It's not for you,

to slop for Two,

if all you do is stay so cool.

What happens now,

might be loud,

so, you may wear a shroud.

Easy does it,

you may love it,

you could heal straight through.

Put down the spears.

Raise a shield,

if you feel like you may yield.

It's O.k. for today,

to be yourself for long.

All I Know

The depth of day,

the length of life,

the only breath time owns.

The distant call,

might be small,

a simple, gentle, voice

I hear.

A tiny mirror,

of life long pain,

shows memories on tape.

A tickering sound,

of the playing show,

is sometimes all I know.

Making My Day

You are my beach,

when my Ocean Waves.

You are my wings,

when I need to fly.

You are my air,

when I need to breath.

You are my thought,

when I need to smile.

You are my friend,

when I need to cry.

You are my health,

when I am weak.

You are my sunshine,

when skies are gray.

You are the voice I hear,

when I am in pain.

You are my laughter,

when I feel fear.

You are my everything,

when I am nothing.

You are the best of me,

when I am at my worst.

You are the man of my dreams,

and you make all my days interesting.

Cruising

Roads of our lives,

can be our

"Highways to Happiness".

You may get tickets,

on the way

But, you are doing all the driving.

If you have an accident,

and you are feeling totaled,

go into a local body shop,

and get back on your way.

Speeding may get you there faster,

but the wear and tear,

will show.

So, don't be so anxious,

to do all that blow.

A bi-way or Two,

you may be dual,

it's just a safer way.

So, relax, feel the sun on your face, 

fuel-up and set your cruise control.

Mornings Day

My thoughts on an overcast start.

Remind yourself of life!

No matter how,

no matter why,

it always is, free of strife.

A birth of an a.m. air,

is fresh and tall up there.

A Heavens gaze,

can often stay,

when you appreciate and play.

Twinkling minds of daily chores.

A day of you not board.

A free thought of this you trot,

throughout your life don't rot!

Fraught with anxious noise,

turn down the height of toys,

it's time to say and not just play.

Hello! to the mornings day.

Dear Me

Fear invokes me to fright,

will I run or will I fight?

I can't know, it's often night,

for everything that comes to take.

Life is hard and causes fear,

to rear an ugly head, "oh, dear".

I am here filled with dread,

mounting high a top my head.

No one helps, but that's O.K.,

I'll be out and seem alright.

Close my eyes and find my rest,

my body lies in depth tonight.

I listened hard, heard what they say,

been to long since it was May.

I'll have help of this is clear,

can you see this?

'cause I'm not Dear,

and I might tear.

Know It All

Anxious longing over past days,

I think that I may have to stray.

Hard work, all day,

we always stick upon today.

Present past, daily future,

our eyes in need of healing.

Gently take the time to be,

and do not do this kneeling.

Sunshine soaks our skin and minds,

a vitamin degree.

Heat up your thought,

and do not talk,

you may find that you might balk.

Stars will shine,

and never fall,

if all you do is call,

a simple name I doth proclaim,

who says they know it all!

New Day

Delightful child,

eloquent and wild.

This is about Me!

What to do?

The sunny days,

blow gray away,

the warmth will always shine.

Top to bottom,

left to right,

we all have duty,

every night.

Truth be known,

lies held at bay.

I find I often stay.

I think it's a new day.

Free

I saw a crime,

done on a dime,

and no one believes me;

in this cause or sin.

I was a kid,

when did; did, did;

and now I cannot trust,

or I will bust from deep within,

and see this sin again.

I see the need,

to never please.

Can you help me? Please!

(I really would like to be free)

Seems so much,

I cannot touch,

a court room or a judge.

It always seems to smudge!

All I do is trudge.

One day soon,

there'll be a boom,

my head will finally be,

my sister said it to me.

Neat!!

The morning shine of the glass dare,

an open door to song.

A small bird sings,

a tone of love,

of peace and willful rhyme.

A large tree stands,

a branch attached,

a resting, likely place.

A nest of wonder,

I said, "no plunder".

Enjoying as I went.

The green grass wet,

with Dew of Night,

my footprints I do see.

The dampness felt,

between my toes,

and all I think,

is that this is,

pretty fucking neat!

Simple Prayer

My love alas,

is in my class,

of day begin, no end.

A Tale of Woe,

cannot be foe,

I learned to aim my bow.

An arrow pierce,

a heart of gold,

and platinum, I do grace.

He is no face,

I doth find faith,

in stories of the Old.

A soul mate true,

of this I knew.

Can he hear me cry?

....may this bring my source?

and put him back on course?

A simple prayer.

Gently Moving

I wish to scream "I am",

I cannot want to scram.

Not what I need, but want.

Trouble that does not taunt.

My man, he is so Far!

He lingers in his car.

Love for us is all I trust,

because I do, I must.

Freedom from hypocrisy,

is all I really want to see.

He is so kind and real to me,

this man I rarely feel; intimacy.

Today, a fresh cut rose,

I do not feel hosed.

I will not still propose,

a life-long of compose.

Gently moving in repose.

Won

Never can I truly know,

the pain within my heart.

Each time I brace,

to see the past,

I find I barely last.

My breath draws short,

my beating sides,

are aching with much fear.

My pulse is banging,

I am draining,

my blood from my mind.

Terror lasts,

then I blast,

a ray of hope and joy.

I am me,

and always be,

the bright

out lasting

one!
