I have always enjoyed writing poetry, but since poetry.com lost them all I decided to share some of them with you.  I hope you like them!

Pretty pictures in the window

tree leaves and sunshine

showing early signs of fall

as it casts dark shadows

the picture taunts me

like a disorganized monster

dancing in mockery

there is nothing I can do

but admire the beauty

and accept a flat embrace

from long abstracts

and blurry originals.

 

Untitled

Once I lived a short death

twice I almost died

three times I fell in love

an infinite number I cried

yesterday was a timed event

today is time given

tomorrow waits impatiently

for someone too well driven

there lies the eternal query

of faith into thy wonder

if I stumble into the light

dreams shall not fall asunder.

 

Old School

Onward ye brothers and sisters!

Mach toward they divine trinity

Dare ye cast thine head

into worldly wisdom

Only to seek Thou’s forgiveness

but thy heart is forgiven

and thy soul is healed

Oh ye trample and stagger

o’er hills and into ditches

straddle thine beast

and heave upright into the heavens

only to tumble end over end

until Thou signs can not be identified

and thy will has no interpretation

attempts finding temptation

vile and profane

all in vain

but thy heart is forgiven

and they soul is healed

Thou hast prepared a place

for His followers.

 

Between The Eyes

Wind blowing across the ridge

Swerving back and forth on the bridge

I am trying to keep it steady

dividing fog and dirty confetti

you are painfully on my mind

to love distance is unkind

four days until we are together still

yet our eyes flow freely at will

I wonder of those whom disagree

displeased with the time in between

should they see us now in goodbye

and fully comprehend the meaning of our cry

or halfheartedly smile with a double wink

cultural relativism on the brink

our desire paves the narrow way

for the narrow minds of today.

 

Monsters

Shall I join the demons in a moonlit lair?

The harvest moon and its wretched glare

consoles me in haunting manner

I feel my soul disperse

as random candy from

a torn bag with reversed decoration

a daunting task to breathe

or to see two different directions

in the same way

I limp, I roll

I glide, I stroll

I fall, I wreck

I sleep or burn

whatever I select

with all that is evident

but unseen to the negligible

black and orange is all that appears

as I feel less and less.

 

Stupor Man

A brain so scattered

the next minute is questionable A

brain lapse is most certain

like a blotchy, tentative outline

or an equation lacking formula

He is always the last

one to get the joke

always

He goes on binges of locking his keys

in the car, and while extras are made

they are eventually lost

as his need to remember is his drug;

his endorphines, if you will

However, this unnatural nonphenomenon

baffles the rest of us; even me.

 

Well, that is it for right now.  My wife wants me to spend time with her, and who am I to say no.  Have a great night, and I will get back to this later!

Take care and God bless!
