| Ramblin....
Posted: 7/15/2008 3:21:24 PM | Even in your silence
I heard your lies,
as your mind whispers
and your heart cries....
even in your kiss
I feel your pain,
for it wasn't me
you danced in the rain.
Even though your gone
I feel you still,
deep within me,
and always will! | |
|
| Ramblin....
Posted: 7/15/2008 3:40:09 PM | Stir not my slumber,
let me dream of you,
that I shall count the ways
of love to thee,
that I shall touch of you
that silken softness,
and hear lyrics of your beauty
played by minstrels wandering!
Stir not my slumber,
let me think of you,
and when the battle is over
I shall make my way home again. | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 2:42:36 PM | Twenty years
and twenty roses,
nineteen red and one white,
on this day, you were born,
the second daughter,
the second miracle of life,
and a single white rose marked your birth!
Today, that single white rose
is a reminder among the others
of your first cry,
your first breath,
your first hug,
and the first time you were kissed,
and now you enjoy one of your dreams
as you are off in the Limo,
touring the city,
your friends riding shotgun
right beside you
and I have my moment
to cry, tears of joy for the
blessing you are in my life
and always will be,
you are my baby,
then,
now,
and forever!
Happy Birthday to the most wonderful daughter in the world!

Posted: 7/16/2008 3:27:52 PM | | Thank you Ash! But where the heck does the time go?? | |
|
| Ramblin....
Posted: 7/16/2008 5:28:34 PM | Time has left the building
only leaving the tick, tock, tocking
to echo in the space between
bouncing off at the strike of twelve
Music to my ears
But, ya say what if its a cookoo clock?.....stay with me...lol
The bird will come out of its hole
Chirp, chirp, chirping
Sounding off its glorious sound
Mellowing the echo's bounce
Slightly keep'n count!!!

Posted: 7/16/2008 5:34:18 PM | well, howdy stranger!! What a pleasant surprise Hammy. Thanks for dropping in, I appreciate it.
One flew over the cuckoos nest
tick, tock, tocking,
another on guitar,
rock, rock, rocking. | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 6:04:12 PM | Mandrake I hope you dont mind me stopn in and sokin up some of this moisture
Tick, tock
Why must we all watch the clock
Its gonna run
And doesnt care about your vanity
Or even your sanity
Age is going to come
No matter how fast we run
There is no flipin over the glass
No free pass
Age
Is the price we pay to be
Wisdom, and love
Should be the prize we seek
Like crutches
For the weak
Your as_ is gona get old
So I say , leave it be.......
Live........
Love................
And grow Wise....
To understand
Its quality
Over quantity
Is the prize | |

Posted: 7/16/2008 7:04:15 PM | Time
Time with short passage grieves
all dimensions of eternity
For in our ignorance we shall be
But one drop in the cosmic sea
Seek that place of stately grace
Where the soul shall not be effaced
Then light the way for all to see
For time will seize in perpetuity

Posted: 7/16/2008 9:21:40 PM | Happy Birthday, Babygirl
Once a tiny pink jewel
adorning a tiny quilt
eyes shining like the stars
learning laughing
fufilling dreams
Another passage gone through time
Rearranging times
laughter echos
as years pass
her daddy standing guard
never far
deep in his babygirl's heart. | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 3:04:34 AM | not watching the clock
time quickly slips by
waking up one night
i find that i cry
not out of anger
or pain
but the love
that remains
for my babes
are all grown
and have found
their own homes
it brings such delight
to my eyes
when i realize
thru all the struggle
and pain
what has remained
is the joy in my heart
and that i am a part
of this miracle on earth
and that we gave birth
both their father and me
for this i agree
and now realize
gave them what
money cannot buy
love
unconditionally
which has given them
confidence to see
life
is to embrace
and to be lived
at their own pace
respect
themselves and others
and the world all around
thru my children
this is what i have found
(aww manny...miss you!!...
congrats to you and your daughter for sharing the past twenty years together...
sweetheart, it only gets better and better!!) | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 3:34:23 AM | The full moon rises in mist borne hues
Ranges swift cross an iron grey sky
Briefly whole, she whispers to me
"Can you see me? Did you chance to stop by?"
The energy's wild and the creatures all smile
For there's magic there yet to behold
So I'm taking myself out of this ol chair again
Under her, I'm still young....nerry old
[something amazing about that ol moon I can never quite capture...but am ever grateful for**] | |

thank you all for the wonderful words and for sharing this space with me. It's so nice to come here and see that my friends have been busy brightening up this place.
My daughter came home last night after the Limo ride and was beaming from ear to ear! | |

'i missed you so much'
-i know granny, missed you too
(i said with a twinge of guilt
realizing i hadn't even thought of her
while i was gone)
'and no one came to visit me'
-oh....i said with irritation..
(knowing that my kids both agreed
to check in on her)
(holding her hands
they felt sooo cold)
-ok..time for our blood pressure
(i get out the cuff and put it on my wrist
122/66..nothing seems to rile me much anymore)
-now it's your turn
(she's is in the safety range...
needn't make the phone call today)
'she is sooo smart'
-who's so smart granny
'you're little girl...
she's so smart and pretty'
(she continues to talk
about
my son and his family
visiting...
having lunch...
olivia so well behaved
(i secretly smile...
my son did come thru)
showing off the little family
she must've felt
like
the belle of the ball)
-well granny
i'm pooped...
running on fumes here...
no more gas in this tank..
gotta go
-please, i don't want
you to go
(her eyes are hazy
but her voice still pleads
knowing i had neglected her
i agreed to have supper tomorrow
in the dining hall....)
(satisfied she smiles
and
dreams of being
the belle of the ball) | |

rolls over
and slowly pulls back
the hollow shell
with timeless reminder
that nothing
and everything
can be forgiven. | |

Posted: 7/19/2008 6:11:33 AM | Hi Rose....love the write....such flattery!
The diabolic wizards
unleashed their holy lust,
a tempest fit for royalty
praying, in God we trust,
The heavens split assunder
by the wave of wizards hand,
bringing rain, the wind and thunder
and lightening cross the land. | |

Posted: 7/19/2008 8:36:32 AM | Brought home from "The Naked Truth"
The problem with truth
is that it is never naked,
it lies , hidden in twisted colors,
distorted, mangled, beyond
recognition, a conspiracy
of blood thirst's greed
never to reveal the
souls benediction,
the truth is out there
somewhere! | |

Posted: 7/19/2008 8:38:45 AM | Brought home from "Ghosts of Past".
I am the fence post,
long and worn,
a singular i,
dotted by the sun,
my wire may be gone,
but here I stand,
bent, but not broken,
my eyes have seen it all,
the rustlers, who got away,
stealing cattle and sheep
by night,
and those who didn't......
get away!
the ghosts at the end of the rope
still haunt the old oak
as she stands alone in the dark
of the moon,
while her corpse laden branches
still sway to the ground below,
bearing the fruits of both,
justice and injustice,
and i, have seen it all,
the fence post long forgotten,
still lining the fields
of dreams. | |

Posted: 7/19/2008 3:21:15 PM | the sax man...
(gary bartz quartet)
red hat, plaid jacket, light lavendar pants
he greets us with song...
'bad thoughts, leave this room
evil, leave this room...'
he blows the sweetest sax
think i smell burnt sage
from backstage
we are now ready
to receive magic
from the blues man
he moves me
grooves me
tickles my soul
with sensual sounds
ever so sweetly he sails
and then
intensely he wails
chills run thru
my body
he puts rhythm
to langston hughes'
'i've known rivers'
overwhelmed
i cry
he joins cables
'for heaven's sake'
ethereal experience
in their cathedral
the vein
of coltrane
so pure
so spiritual
touching me so
deeply
i weep
in the presence
of genuis
