I think I write almost all of my poetry when thoughts are initiated by someone else. It is in response to others or events that cranks my poetic mind.
Today, I wrote a response to a blog that I truly enjoyed. The blog was about politics and I know many of you don't read such trash talk. But I liked my response and wanted to save it on my blog and share it.
I threw a tea party
and everyone came
bright colored clothes
with shoes not the same
So I asked the question
about the shoes on their feet
and learned a valuable lesson
about the people I meet
"Someone once told us
to walk in another shoe.
So to avoid all the fuss
wore a different one too."
I pondered the answer
and what was the gain.
If shoes protect bright dresses
from avoiding a tea stain!

Man created time
Explaining beginning to end
For only in his lifetime
can time depend
Do we presume to know
an ant's brief lifetime
His time's deception
or his time's perception
The galapogos turtle
Does he know time well?
Does he think of man
housed in a time shell
The time we had,
The time we have left
is just a mirage
Of those time bereft
Reality's perception
created in the mind
attempts to justify
each moment of time
For in the moment
when time doesn't exist
Can one really know
the reality of time bliss.

Took the reigns of expectation
to ride the biways of life
Roadblocks to my destination
unyielding and strife
Abandoned the reins
Lost the will
Escaped the stress
just standing still....
Took the reins of life
Emancipated without regret
Found a I could ride
and rode into the sunset

An insignificant grain of sand
An hourglass that never ends
Yet, through time upon a man
Significance depends

Worded Wings

Another repost from Cariad blog. My favorite, I need save.
She came to me on worded wings
That lit upon my soul.
Revealing things that could be
Things that make me whole.
She took me to a distant shore
A place of "should have been"
Her magic kept me mesmerized
With dreams she'd come again
She departed without a fond adeiu
Her words painted on my mind
I wonder if she ever knew
She left her art behind.

Today, I was going through some of the poems I wrote in response to Cariad's blog, for fear they could be lost I want to keep them close on my own blog.
If stars and moonbeams could enthrall
I'd gather them up, one and all
And build a bridge across the sea
to light a way, for you and me
Oh, to build such a glorious span
to shorten the distances, if I can
Yet how to pluck them from the sky
To create a bridge for you and I
Each day can pluck, a moonbeam and star.
Using magic coming from heart to mind
Someday to gather all that there are
Each star and moonbeam of every kind
And a glorious bridge could be made
of stars and moonbeams, Magic given
Upon a light that will never fade
O'er bridges, heart driven

Moonlight's Woo

I wrote this poem to Cariad, just wanted to save it on my blog.
It was written in response to one of her many terrific poems.
In the still of night
He hears the coo
of wanderlust
and moonlight's woo
The scent of her sweet perfume
She wears the black night dress
Her cascades of hair and silky touch
Enhances her warm caress
He sees the flower of moonlight
Which blossoms in the sky
For those who ask why not
instead of asking....why
A simple remembrance to dream
that love, need not be strewn
When magic's stars dance in step
All's well, above the moon

Turn out the Lights

I wrote my first poem a few years back after a divorce, It's was wordy and lenghty, After reading it today I decided to rewrite it more concise, yet say the same thing.
You could make my heart smile
With The light in your eyes,
The gifts that you gave
An unexpected surprise
A youthful view of love
flawed, but not seen
Not caring where it's going
Not understanding where it's been
It happened in a moment
Changed our life forever.
You saw, that other's see
Love's an incomplete endeavor
For is it not true,
about what others see
If they're not envious of you,
why would you need me
You stopped saying I love you
Yet I never thought, I was bad
Until the day you expected better of me.
And me was all I had.

Getting Old 101

Time goes by faster so it seems
Sleeping only in past dreams
Tomorrow is just another day
Thinking of yesterday your chosen way
Twist off caps are getting tighter
Nothing seems to get lighter
Just reaching for something on the top shelf
Can only result in hurting yourself
People you care about, don't care enough
The phone only rings, for soliciting stuff
Finding love is what you want to do
But can't find someone to give it to
Money isn't something to build upon
Just to worry about when it's gone
As others judge your life's worth amount
They just look into your bank account
New electronics are hard to figure out
Much too much, to think about
Things were easier in the past
And those were even built to last
Heath isn't determined by your ills
But by the number of prescription pills
Sitting on the pot becomes a science
Discovering the meaning of incontinence
Protection granted by the size of your car
Finding yourself lost, the normal par
The middle of the road too hard to find
And other drivers aren't very kind
Remembering what happened on your wedding day
But forgetting what happened yesterday
Living in the rear view mirror, so you don't see
The crash up ahead, that's to be.

Mine and Mind

I walk away in stillness
Stillness of the heart
Just a flutter of emotion
From the beating part
Once a raging drumbeat
Discovered with surprise
The results of a deep feat
In the sparkling of your eyes
So easily to get lost
The sparkle and the shine
New pennies always rake the cost
Of the tarnishment of mind
As I peer from the shadow
and wonder why it's gone
The only responsibility, I know
is mine and mind alone
.
