A Poem ... She Understands

She Understands

The mirror lied
To her face
Showing lines
In empty space

Countless smiles
Wrinkles set
Love Lost
Let her forget

Grey hairs
Majestic crown
Wisdom's cloak
Encapsulated frown

Wind blows
From the east
Evil portend
Unruly beast

Summer drifts
Distant lands
Tears flow
She understands.

A Poem ... Until We Meet

Until We Meet

Pines dance
Gentle breeze
Bird chorus
Fills the trees

Warmth fills
Empty place
Love radiates
Golden grace

Brief smile
Treasure trove
Full awareness
Garden grove

Trip across
River Styx
Delayed again
Endless tricks

Death cheated
Empty seat
Reaper waits
Until we meet

A Poem ... To the Sea

To the Sea

Moon shines
Unmade bed
Still shadows
Black and red

Sleep hides
Beyond sight
Time slows
Eternal Night

Thoughts wander
Erratic  road
Focus lost
Heavy load

Dawn splendor
Lost again
Sleep comes
After pain

Days drag
Tired haze
Zombie walk
Modern days

Warm winds
Call to me
Come home
To the sea

A Poem ... Priorities

Priorities

Soaked to the bone
Drenched by rain
Hypothermia certain
Body bathed with pain

Slip into the lecture
I knew I was late
I want to succeed
Failure is my fate

Ponder my cause
The hand I've been dealt
I curse my luck
The fortune I melt

Then I remember
Our friendship so dear
My life  looks better
When priorities are clear

A Poem ... Collateral Damage

Collateral Damage

We've had some Collateral Damage
It's not so bad

A few innocents have died
That's so sad

We will hunt the enemies
Of our state
Into their cities
To their back gate

Those that threaten us
Have to pay
Our oil is safe
We are happy to say

A Poem ... I Am Undone

I Am Undone

Inkjet, Inkjet 

You make me cry
I bought you yesterday

Now you are dry

I have a thousand copies to run
I am undone, I am undone

Windows, Windows

You make me cry
You worked yesterday

Now you die

My presentation was going to stun
I am undone, I am undone

Chrome, Chrome

You make me cry
I found out yesterday 

You are a spy

The sites I visit I should really shun
I am undone, I am undone

Technology, Technology

You make me cry
You will not work 

No matter how I try

The changes happen so fast that it's no longer fun
I am undone, I am undone

A Poem ... Mysterious Magic

Mysterious Magic

Portal to another time
Mysterious magic so sublime

Content in my golden cage
Patient silence age upon age

Single smile treasure sweet
Secret place our souls meet

Not together or alone
Lonely vigil to atone

Seat of stone, purple skies
Life blooms and finally dies

Life reborn, spring arrives
Sunshine saving countless lives

Solitary statue, stiff and straight
Waits in silence for heaven’s gate
