UPBEAT INSPIRATIONAL POEM

… the blank pages
in your book
as a newborn,
first entries made
were not yours alone,
that part of life
is written in stone..
through chapters of times
and lifestyles of ages,
some enter our lives
like actors on stages,
we title the chapters
and fill the blank pages..
the key to writing
in the book of life,
is not chiseled regret
with hammers of strife,
it’s not even with
the ink of the pen,
it’s using soft lead pencils,
with good erasers on the end.

… little eyes
innocent and caring,
they really see more,
those big little eyes,
that walk
through our core,
they skip through
our minds,
and push open the doors,
so behind your smiles
or inside your frowns,
those little bitty eyes,
are wandering around.

… pressure for measure
just five pounds
is all it takes,
to end a life,
to make hearts break,
from life to death
is the measure,
with five pounds,
of index pressure.
is all it takes,
to end a life,
to make hearts break,
from life to death

.. burn of the flame
knew you were fire
from the very start,
getting to close
you would seng my heart
smoldering flesh,
the addictive part,
not like i’m dumb
actually pretty smart,
but passion rules
with two in the dark,
a single spell
and before i knew,
flames from the heat
had melted my shoes,
now time to choose
can i win and lose,
completely sane
and purposely plain,
heat of passion
and burn of the flame,
i’ll plead insanity, ...

… of flesh and bone
the pedals froze
and fell off the rose,
is this a sign,
anxiety grows,
they’re on the ground
stirring all around,
wind is blowing,
but making no sound,
gathered them up
covered in muck,
searching for glue,
in my prayer cup
tried to be quick,
but they wouldn’t stick,
i should have known...
she wasn’t plastic.

Prelude: the soulmate
i’m your cure,
medicine you need,
a spice of love,
i am that seed,
i’ll love you pure,
deep to the core,
massage your heart,
kiss where it’s sore,
relax your thoughts,
and cry no more,
in an oceans
of tears,
i am your shore.

… crossroads: respect
hold the door open
not just for a friend,
charge like a boar
to be the first in..
hold hands tightly
to show where you
stand,
view of affection
not in the partner’s
plan..
pardon me
works any given day,
...

… guide in the mirror
which pride is your guide,
or that feeling you belong,
does your pride reside
in humanity’s zone,
are you sharing,
caring, nice and kind,
or eaten bare
like a melon rined
is love and peace
a spiritual tone,
or spite everyone
and be left alone,
which do hang
your proud hat on..
a guild that
is not really you,
dis-information is
contagious as the flu,
if you actually sat,
read a book or two, ...

… jason hawk (red tail)
red-tail gliding low,
lands on a wire,
cue the screeching,
from the bluejay choir,
cardinals and sparrows
screech chirp and peep
hawk on the wire,
starts cleaning its beak,
the chipmunks scurry,
gettin buried in deep,
squirrels jet thur the grass,
jump into a tree..
crow is in the sky
hawk springs on its trail,
then sparrows dart out
like breaking out of jail,
there’s no more squawkings
gone is the red tail,
now..
all the small...

.. seat in the back
no trophies as a father
they were denied,
no awards as a husband
she would testify,
no ribbons as a friend
at times we collide,
employee on the month
really not that guy,
done my best
came real close,
but big successes
garners the boast,
i celebrate when
i don’t burn the toast,

otherwise a ghost,

an east coast with the most
from Daytona to Miami
the great party hosts,
with Savannah, the Carolinas
and Virginia Beach’s to boast,
“New York Highs”
a big “Boston Toast”
and don’t forget DC
it’s history and ghosts,
If it’s partying, history or
relaxation for most,
there is no place on earth
like the US East Coast.
