Days turn into nights.
You're not here with me.
I'm a little child lost.
Frightened by all I see.
Angry words were said.
Our love is not in vain.
We must look ahead for now.
Outside I hear the rain.
Come back Into my arms.
Whisper that you care.
Make me feel the world is ours.
Kiss me if you dare.

Before my coffee
Poured juice on my cereal
Newspaper blurry.

Think about someone
That you're like a stranger to
Then you've thought of me

Social butterfly
Late for wedding bouquet toss
Caught by early bird.

Falling for you
Torn and vulnerable,
the reasons I'm blue.

Take me to "somewhere".
Heard it's the in place to be.
I've seen the billboards.

Roses they are red
Violets pretty and blue
Why did I start this poem
Hell,  I haven't got a clue

You never loved me
The words l so longed to hear
You said them in jest
Now you say you've someone new
Go your way with you know who.

The darkness is split
The glow of my cigarette,
casts an eerie light.

It's always the same
We want summer's beach ball fun,
when winter is here
In summer's sweltering heat,
we want winter's cold wind chill

Lonely days and nights
Lead to barren months and years
To a future, bleak

Lady on my screen
Says my laundry isn't clean
Judging sight unseen.

Your names in the clouds
Written there by an angel
Hoped she'd get her wings.

I really don't know
Whether I'm living this life,
or just existing.

Went for a fast food meal.
Told the kid behind the counter
I'd like the chicken and a large
green beans . He said the green beans
only come in small and medium.
I said okay I'd like the medium
He said we're out of green beans.

My feelings are hurt
You say I can't take a joke
Truth masquerading.

Wisdom comes in blurbs
One minute I'm spitting facts
The next I'm dry mouthed.

In myself, I'm free
I'll hide in here forever
World will go away

I hate decisions
I don't think they're my strong suit
Can't make up my mind.

Fear not little one
Everything in the darkness
Is found in the light

That's just how it goes
Sorry it's not in the cards
Can't fight city hall
My resolve even greater
After getting these answers.

There once lived a snail
Who hurried, to no avail
Slugs close on his tail.

May your dreams come true
and bring great prosperity
And not love in vain
May love be your charity.

A skosh of allure,
will always do in a pinch,
when charms not handy.

Pills were on my tongue
Life still had great harmony
I didn't have the ear.

Why is the sky blue?
Why not, gods into pastels
If you're wondering
why the chicken crossed the road
Ask Col. Sanders fry cook.

Can't say I love you
Too afraid to say those words
Yet, they haunt my thoughts

Beauty walks away
It really enjoyed its stay
Face now a new day.

A 911 call
Victim is so blue
Bleeding from the heart
Died while enroute to reconciliation
Buried in a deep and painful longing

On dark days like these
When dreams seem out of your reach
Stretch a little more.

My life just moved here
Fulfillment lives down the street
Around the corner,
misgivings are packing up
Evicted by certainty

Kindness, like a can
Return and recycle it
Good for the planet.

I'd bet anything
If our leaders had to fight
Wars would not exist.

When I was nine years old,
and if the truth be told
My best friend was a German Shepherd
with a heart of gold.
We spent our days together
in any kind of weather
Around his neck a bandana
his collar made of leather .
Possum was his name
And we played every game
From fetch the ball to tug of war
Days were never the same.

We can't reconcile
You've put distance between us
Miles I cannot walk.

There's silence for days
Then we're painfully polite
Unkind words hurt less.

Love, a priceless ring
A diamond or emerald
In a classic setting

The haunting sound
The distant song of the whale
They're beseeching us

Deja Vu moments
Did I already write this
Deja Vu moment?

You're ambivalent
Your mouth says you don't want me
Your eyes say I'm loved.

Does anyone else
Build walls to keep the world out
Or is it just me

I hold grudges
Where they're due
Hate to admit that
but it's so true.
As long as there's
breath in me,
there's a chance
to get even you see.

Friends break your heart's door
Do you prop the door open?
Or just leave It be.

It's star light, star bright
First star I see tonight dims
So much for the rhyme

Thinking for yourself
Straying from the status quo
Free in thought and mind

Tossed in my sleep
Morning feels like Monday blues
Gagged on black coffee.

I struggle with fears
Fear of life, for whats to come.
Of a death unseen.

If I closed my eyes
Or even died in my sleep
You I would still see.

On the radio
A too friendly voice tells me,
I need hearing aids
