Wrinkled brow… large tears
Simple words, “What’s wrong my dear?”
Makes them disappear

Bit of monkey business

Winter …cold as sin
He’s made of brass, not tin….sooooo
Bring your monkey in! ! ! ! ! !

Tilt back your head and
Raise your face…close your eyes…feel
The grace… of warm skies

Gifts and Needs

Don’t give me gifts
For I have no need

Give me, in their stead

Warm hugs…your love
your trust…And Godspeed…

Ears

No person is worth your tears
No one should make you sigh

The one who is truly… worth your tears
Would never make you cry

What word comes to mind?

A gentle word on the summer wind
Subtle sigh in forlorn surrender

Uttered softly, in voice so thin
Be gentle…be kind…remember

Irony in two verses

My momma was a good person
But could also be a dumb ol’ witch

She never saw the irony in…
callin’ me a “son of a @^&$#”

Eyes of the Earth

Clouded ponds…
Emerald lakes…

Lens to enlarge
To magnify

To look far without
From deep within

Eyes of the earth
To study the sky

Dear One

Take note:
That none of my wants
Require currency grand

But in it's stead:
Only friendly words, kind gestures
And caring touch of hand

Always Something To Be Thankful For

On this day of thanksgiving
When our future may seem murky.

We always have something to be thankful for.
Mine is that I’m not a turkey! !
