Goodnight

 

Pillow calling

Dream time has come

Pleasant dreams

Moonlight beams

Until morning 

The wolf

The wolf stalks through the woods

Ears twitching at every sound

It stops

It looks

Up just ahead a deer

The wold cruches

Knowing every second counts

Steady 

Steady

Like a shot from a gun

The wolf takes off

The deer noticed it and runs

The race is on

Hearts pounding

Blood pumping

As they run through the forest

Zigzaging around trees

Leaping over fallen trees and large rock

Blood rushing

Hearts pounding

Still the chase continues 

Fainally the deer stumbles

The wolf gose in for the attack

The deed is done

The deer is no more

The wolf has food for his den

Sleeping

 

My pillow calls

I must answer 

What adventures await

The forest

 The forest

Quiet and calm

The forest

I could stay all day long

Meditate while sitting on a log

Listening to the birds singing their song

Our just watch time and nature go by

The breeze in the trees

Animals here and there

A perfect time

A perfect day

Hippie

 

Peace spread it

Love show it

Memories make them

Brothers and sisters

Friends and family 

Travel the country 

To the hippie beat

Making music

Writing poems

Doing odd jobs

So much more

Life on the go

Travelers are we

Spreading peace wherever we go

Spreading harmony 

Peace spread it

Love show it

Memories make them

Writing

 

Taking pen to paper 

Or

Fingers to keyboard 

I start

One word

Two 

Three

Soon they start pouring out of me

First a creek

A stream

A river

An ocean of words

 File onto the page

Pouring faster and faster

Word after word

Line after line

Until finally 

There is nothing left in me

Goodnight

 

Goodnight sweetheart 

Peaceful dreams 

Follow the moonbeam 

Goodnight sweetheart 

As your dreams my roam

And in the morning 

Bring you back home

Poetry is

 

Poetry is the word spoken through heart and soul

Every joy

Every pain

Every heartache 

Every love

Poetry is

Laughter

Crying

Bloodshed

Nightmare 

Dream

Poetry is

Poetry is truth

Poetry is story telling

Poetry is life

The old barn

 

The musty old Barn

The smell of decay

But

Full of memories

Climbing into the hay loft to throw out hay

Getting kicked by cows

Bottle feeding calves

Tagging and banding calves

Putting cows in the head gate to be doctored

The list of memories could go on and on

The musty old Barn

The smell of decay

But

Full of memories

Danger from afar

 

Midnight comes time to feed

Suck the life blood out of thee

With passion and a haunted touch

Fangs in the neck 

Your life drains

Danger from afar

On fluttering bat wrings

With my bite

I set you free

Released from all bonds

To live eternally 

A child of the night

You shall be

Danger from afar 

On fluttering bat wings

Kiddy pool fools

 Where is my phone when I need it

This should be posted to Facebook 

Teach them to steal our pool

My friends and I were looking forward to a dip

Dad took our pool with a couple of drips

Old fellers you look like fools

Sitting in a kiddy pool

Color by number

 

Wall of stubbornness

 

Separated

But both longing for each other

She knows he loves her

He won't admit it

Even though it's true

It is this wall 

A wall of stubbornness 

That keeps them apart 

Life's journey

 

May peace grow along your way

As you journey life's pathways today

Peaceful sleep

 

Peaceful dreams I wish for you

Float with the stars and the moon

Dream of adventure far ang wide

Just return to Earth before daylight 

Growing old together

 

Many years have past Since we said :I Do"

Not a day goes by without me loving you

We've our fights

We always made up

We always made right

Our kids grew up

Had kids of their own

Grandma and Grandpa are we

Fun visiting family and friends 

Keep us on the go

Down the road

To who knows

Through it all

We still remain

Through it all

We still remain

Country Church

 Sang to the tune of "Heartbreak Hotel' by Elvis Presley 

Since I found my savior 

I found a new place to dwell

All the way down at a country church

In Humansville

Food trucks

 

I was traveling Down with my family 

We were going on vacation to Florida 

Going down the interstate highway 

What do we see?

A Wonder bread truck being followed by the Oscar Meyer hotdog mobile.   Not odd in itself, but I kept looking out for a ketchup truck and a relish truck to follow, but they never did

Rollercoaster weight

 

Up

Down

Up

Down

Like a rollercoaster

So is my weight 

I try to eat right

I try to exercise 

By my weight stays the same

Up

Down

Up

Down

Like a rollercoaster

So is my weight

What is truth

 I wander in a fog

A fog of mental thought

What I thought was true

I question 

Religion 

School 

Society 

Is there truth

Or just lies

Who wins

Who loses

Does money get earn

In shady ways

Who gets hurt

Are the people at large

The same ones who puts trust in such things

The fog thickens

I move on

While I can still see straight 

Good morning

 

Sunshine and warm breeze 

Hreen grass tickles your feet

Dandelions 

Sunflowers 

Roses to

May the day be as beautiful as you

Sleep

 

Sleep

Dream upon the starlight 

Comfy pillow 

Sift bed

Sleep 

Dream upon the moonbeam 

Drift away

And Dream what may

Shipwrecked

Shipwrecked upon the shore of some far off island

Alone 

Helpless 

Hungry 

Tired

They light a small fire for warmth 

Against the cool ocean breeze 

And take stock of what they have

The dog sirs quietly and watches the forest behind them

As night falls

Still on the beach

They eat light

As they drift off to sleep

The dog thinks of how lucky that the cat was left with a family member

 

KFC Dream

 

He runs from the mob

No matter how he runs

They always seem close

He turns a corner

He spots his enemy 

Millions upon millions of

Chickens

Red eyed

Demon birds

The chickens charge at the man

Pecking at his skin

Clawing

Feathers flying everywhere 

Huffing and puffing

Colonel Sanders wakes in a cold sweat

Puff of smoke

 

The smoke drifts and dancing Whiff 

Twisting this way and that

Higher and higher

Above the Earth

Then poof

It's gone

Childhood friends

 Friends 

Friends to the end

Best Friends forever

Laughing 

Joking 

Having fun

Sharing joys

Comforting each other in pain

Side by side

Down life's road

Driving in the rain

 

Tap

Tap

Tap

Rain on the windshield 

As I drive endless miles yet to go

Tap

Tap

Tap

The ever falling rain

Is almost eno6to drive me insane 

Tap

Tap

Tap

A light drizzle turned to down pour

River banks are rising

The roads are getting  flooded

And still

Tap

Tap

Tap

For what seems like eternity 

The rain on windshield 

The droning noise as I drive

The Alligator

 

I protect the bridge you see

Not a person gets past me

I eat them if they try

Or knock them over the side

How brave are you

Will you become my lunch to

"BURP" sorry about that, excuse me

Mirror

 

I look in a mirror  and wonder 

Who is the real me

The one standing there

Or the one in the mirror 

Also, what happens to the one in the mirror  when I leave?

Does he live a life like mine

Does he still exist on some other plain of existence 

I look in a mirror  and wonder 

Who is the real me

The one standing there

Or the one in the mirror

At the edge

 

I stand upon the edge

And peer down into the abyss 

I stand at the edge

And look down into darkness
