An Old Friend

An old friend

Was always familiar

So much so

That I could swear

That we had met before

In some other life

But in a similar realm

How quickly

Life can change

From sustained to lost

Living

To holding on

I love my old friend

As he transitions

Making his way from one life to

Another

And we will me again

My friend and I

Thanks for Saturday

Thanks for Saturday

A refreshing idea

Thanks for Saturday

Slow yet productive

Saturdays the world ebbs

Easy until a new week arrives

It’s been a good day

This Saturday

When Form Fails Function

what is left

when the form

has killed the function

creativity gone

in it’s distant form

rusted burned and abandoned

when the snow falls

on burning embers

when form kills function

what are we left with

but a hollow

reminder

of what we were

 

 

Voraciously Free

Take it all in

The sense of free

One man free

Doesn’t have to be

Yours

In hours and moments

We define freedom

Consume freedom and spread

The letters tied

Down

In my head

 

The Medical Scatter

The medical scatter

Over the mountains and

Through the woods

Holding our health

While they could

Medical scatter

From denial chatter

Hope reservoirs pumped with dreams

It is true

Nothing is quite

As it seems

The Bitter End

Hold on until the bitter end

Take all you can get

Don’t give in

Desire crept into evening dreams

Fills you up with evil things

Bird sing

While a dove flies

Hold on to the bitter end

Friends

While we are all alive

Forgiveness Roulette

Forgive and forget

Forgiveness roulette

Fire burns

Water kills

Spin the wheel

Take the pills

So quickly we forget

How fast we move on

Sinide moments

Don’t love

What you can’t get

Hold hope

In a forgiveness roulette

 

 

New York View

A grey off colored late morning

The pendulum of metronome

Clanks from within the construction walls

The paisley building stand

Juxtaposed to billboards and lights

The creamy paleness of the Queensboro Bridge

Speckles with lights and cars

Crawling slowly over

And crimson and white lines smoke

Stacks litter the sky

Industrious

Illustrious

The east river is covered from sight

The land filled with energy

Motion

Magnificient architecture

Glistens well into the night

A New York view

New to me in a way

But still the same

And true
