Courageous to the end,
He enriched our lives with kindness,
We should all know such a friend.
Athlete, musician and dancer,
“Three months…” they said you’ve got,
The cursed word was “cancer”,
Precious time, but not a lot.
It visited me before you,
I felt the anguish and the pain,
Four years makes me a survivor,
If it never comes back again.
Unbeknown we played our music,
My banjo and your guitar,
Unaware our silent duet,
Would take you where you are.
If you read this bit of poetry,
From your place up in the sky,
Add yourself a verse or three,
We both can sing on high! | |

My piano, your lyric intensity
My voice, your sweet harmony
Our chorus now is heavenly | |

its hard for me to find good slumber

Rowed their boats onto wave driven shores
White water mixes with blues and greens
As mariners nets fill with sweet sardines | |

Posted: 7/2/2012 6:22:03 AM | If I could be a Bubble Boy
I'd take a walk in that toy
Across Monet's reflecting pond
Float animas' images so fond
I should be a Bad Boy
Get me a Big Toy
Maybe a motorcyckle
or jest a dill pickle
Drunken Monkeys play the fool
Sun Tzu tells them it's a tool
A way to count from 1 to 3

I'm a modern dinosaur,
A rectal cancer sore-ass,
A painful metaphor | |

she slept feeling safe and later consented agreed even wanted
He turned around and kept around some
when she asked one question
....
Lets go play on the slide
fly a kite as we lie
lets go get our prizes
before we get to shy
...
after sunrise
we are calm
during sunset
we grow calm
....
to little to late
not enough to much to little
no more no less
is enlightenment the only way

Four some, escape pleasure appears the whole of sum
For sooth, known not telephone poles count swift past
For tunes, perhaps, music forescore symphonic last | |

Posted: 7/9/2012 11:12:08 PM | twas for you all for
I bled & cried & did much for
I heard & held back & opened & came
I didn't complain Until I knew pain
....
Nightmares don't shame me
cruelty you promised to be kind not insane
life you were to forgoe accidents
and let the water flow home to ashore
....
If I wished to pick up all matters that hurt
if you promised to see my beauty
but you were blind & I was lame
who would hear the sounds
....
wisdom what are you
are you man or woman or a child
wisdom we climbed for you
but you circled around for us to gain more
....
choose which orb the water is stored
would you drink of one
you can have only the one
the rules..are not always clarity's finest to know

you are selfish hiding
run off with bags
I cant follow you

I need to heal
again again I end
there is much variables to ado
you do what you do I say what I cant

Posted: 7/20/2012 9:48:19 AM | Without full sight & full aware I still was there
I saw & held life
I held & saw death
I wished I could cremate that little fast bird
..
Is life regular to you'
seeing through your window pane
living souls become still
dazed at first then never more
..
Little sparrow testing your freedom testing your wings testing your singing
trying the sky going to fast on your breath watch for the fright you cause
can someone stop you with a word
before you dropped to the cement ground
..
placed you by the tree
gazing at you with mix of emotions
and thoughts
I said my words, in a thought
..
is it enough
I should have been wiser
let me have magic
so you wouldnt have died nor be pained, alone
..
where is your mother has she already flew
why didn't you learn anything new
how can you not see the clearness of your path the clarity of the present
now you are just someone's food..or waste
..
I dont want you to be studied coldly
dont want to think you acted badly
now that you are gone'
I dreamed of past when I didnt save was it you in those forms too
..
karma & or signs
to note on what may be
if it is bad or good
I hope you all will be heavenly..
..
holy temple was warm I felt or believed I knew your heartbeat still
but I felt the coolness already come
an as I set you down
Im already cleaning my hands away from you
..
I am sorry
I am not better
my fears have me quit
loving an growing
..
father & siblings & other blood too
sworn & worn even when worn
how could you not have been here
were you at all existing created at all
..
saw your shadows meld to shade an the light was tea crystals in healing..
is perfection continuing is the darkness worse or indifferent
it kills that we pass by
even when we are passed
..
Cat in the rain fur being dry
can I keep you past time an angels crying sighs
high or low you kept me from sickness
tis for us I want to
..
I dont understand
I heard you hit & fall the presence of pain
an misguided direction
energy not strong I would have given mine if I was any good am I

Ms asianpeachteaqTea:
Hon, the idea of any thread that suggests in it's title acertain number of lines, means that authors would submit writing, without making personal attacks of course, within the structure outlined. In other words, the Original Poster(OP) had a theme in mind, for whatever reason.
Your creative spirit is encouraged, but for goodness sake! FOUR LINES, MEANS FOUR LINES.
It's the same as SIX LINES MEANS SIX LINES.
If you wish to write more, please do so, but on the many threads inviting you to do so, or create your own, and only one thread.
It's just four lines, Hon. Not six, forescore eighteen, because the beer store ran out of beer at fourteen thirty two, and the boyfriend is high on crack cocaine, because his Mother abandoned him at an orphanage, and he was shipped in a basket down the river, which wildly spilled into a ravive, narrowed by years of pestulance, perhaps, because Father time had a watch that stopped ticking, bewcause restrictions were placed long ago, fought against, then embrace once again, considered, reconsidered, looking at the sunset through binoculours, sothat it might be clearer, though hurting mine eyes, to slumber led etc, etc, etc.. (to be con't)
Fore! The ball is struck!
For some, takes four
Four lines driven for
For fourscore score | |
