Yesterday 2:50am
Yesterday 2:50am
And Thus They Must Go
I am the past and they are tomorrow,
I am the east therefore they are my west,
I am the yesterday fading away,
For they are the morning to my sunset.
They are the arrows and I am the bow,
And so they go from me, forward and forth,
Launched into the future with projection,
To a time and a place I call True North.
They are a part but don’t belong to me,
A present bestowed upon me and so,
As time goes by they move going onward,
Tomorrow awaits and thus they must go.
They’ll be renewed over and over again,
Working on...
I am the east therefore they are my west,

For they are the morning to my sunset.

Launched into the future with projection,
To a time and a place I call True North.
They are a part but don’t belong to me,
A present bestowed upon me and so,
As time goes by they move going onward,
Tomorrow awaits and thus they must go.
They’ll be renewed over and over again,
Working on...

I was amazed today
Old and young nothing to say
No happy kids laughing trying to play
Touch tap beep on their way
Have we left humanity behind
Acts of kindness and love we are blind
Destroying whats left one day at a time
Avoid one another such a horrible crime
Such a pitiful sight
Getting away from the loving light
Creating fake hiding our true might
Loosing our trueselves is a new strife
Ill take the rest of the day with my kids
To make wonderful memories we did
To show the compassion isnt hid
I...

She Is A Life
She is your seed
She needs you to nurture her growth
To bloom into a beautiful flower
If you neglect her
Or stomp her into the ground
She’ll only wilt
Incapable of standing on her own
She is a life
You brought into this world
She needs positive interaction with you
To build her self confidence
If you ignore her difficulties
And destroy her self esteem
She’ll become troubled
Searching elsewhere for validation for beauty
She is your daughter
You should treat her as such
In her eyes you are...
She needs you to nurture her growth
To bloom into a beautiful flower
If you neglect her
Or stomp her into the ground
She’ll only wilt
Incapable of standing on her own
She is a life
You brought into this world
She needs positive interaction with you
To build her self confidence
If you ignore her difficulties
And destroy her self esteem
She’ll become troubled
Searching elsewhere for validation for beauty
She is your daughter
You should treat her as such
In her eyes you are...

Love Got YOU This Far
I'm alive, alive
I'm barely functioning, I'm
falling apart, internally dying
To the outside perception
standing strong
always a grin
I'm alive, alive
I'm crying inside, I'm
depleted, drained but
Somehow keep moving
on, I am my daughter
This story is for her
She is me
the next chapter
as my pages inevitably end
Just as she is her mother
who forever
holds a piece of my heart
Contained in our child
she a masterpiece
created from the best of both us
I'm barely functioning, I'm
falling apart, internally dying
To the outside perception
standing strong
always a grin
I'm alive, alive
I'm crying inside, I'm
depleted, drained but
Somehow keep moving
on, I am my daughter
This story is for her
She is me
the next chapter
as my pages inevitably end
Just as she is her mother
who forever
holds a piece of my heart
Contained in our child
she a masterpiece
created from the best of both us

A girl from Quadring
A young girl from Quadring
To her parents
she meant the earth
There would be only one
Alison Joyce Papworth
Young Joyce, attended
young farmers club
She met the man of
Her dreams
A bright young man
By the name of
John Hargreaves
Those two found love
And with that
Became wed
I do take thee
Alison Joyce
Were the words
Young John

Morning flow
It’s not a contest, except that it is. / Captain Crunch, / Snapping punch, / Crap for lunch. / Bragging on a hunch, / Snapdragon munch, / Cro-magnon of the bunch, / Caveman gangster, loincloth sagging to the ground, / Stop dragging my heart around, / Don’t start, / It’s a feeble fart who holds an easily broken heart; / means those shards / didn’t open up enough to get hard / When left alone. / Pardon the tone, / but when you settle into the zone, / evidence shows, / and developments grow / Mapping what shows / Making you wary and quick / when it gets precarious and slick. / A gentleman rogue...

The chimes
The chimes ring!
Vibrating echoes
in the early light
or, in the depths
of the darkest night.
The chimes ring.
Shivers taking
to the living,
prayers to the dead;
wasted dreams
of unforfilled passions,
mockery upon
weary heads.
To sign a day
of rejoice
upon announcement
of an awaited birth.
To signify a union
of souls, acclamatory
exultation amongst
the communities,
bringing cups of inebriation
to their lips.
Be it to ordain
a new consacration,

Fathers and Sons: Love Redux
My dad wasn't wordy
I can't remember affection
He never told me he loved me
If he did, I don't remember it
Strong silent type he was
I grew up quiet
Till I started to speak more
Then everyone wished I'd shut the fuck up
My mom told me my dad loved us very much
I wanted to hear it from him
On my wedding day he said it
Collectively in a toast he pronounced his love grandly
I always wanted more from him
I wanted his knowledge, his craft
He's gone 20 years now
I'm still trying ......
I can't remember affection

360's
like a top
you spin
around
and around
awkwardly
graceful
gentlest
of souls
precious boy
dancing
to alternative
music
scary faces
you laugh
with them
and shake
never dizzy
doing 360’s
for fun
beautiful son
watching
from afar
i love you
beautiful son
circles
are positive
just like
360’s
you spin
around
and around
awkwardly
graceful
gentlest

precious boy

-A Song for My Sons-
This day, I see through the Sun's golden light, my sons throughout the years. They've stayed by my side; to them unobserved, though I now watch with tear-glimmered eyes. There but go I, for always will be in the heart of a father's true love. I've watched them play and grow all their days with such love, no one could share. For, within my heart all that is good came from you, my beautiful sons. And I wish, forever, we could stay as one, together as family. But, Time has Its way and forever's too soon, and this wish will not always be. Though, if you don't mind from time-to-time, I'll look...

Fatherhood
Helping to provide genuine smiles to our children, while also planting the seeds that are not only needed, but also required to help our children grow into the adults they are destined to be, is not only one of the greatest responsibilities of fatherhood, but it also is one of the greatest joys of fatherhood.

paternal footprints
They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it.
Death cannot kill what never dies.” William Penn
In Memory of my Late Father, E. A. B., 1908 March-2007 March
if i could hear him whistle once again,
beneath the sweetwood tree, and smell the rain
before it drizzles softly on the grass;
if i could hear him hum amazing grace,
while searching for the book he has misplaced;
or catch the donkey’s bray along the pass
as he comes home, his dunlop water boots
tiptoeing past the tall banana shoots
