On Giving and Receiving

I am a woman who
has bestowed much love
dispensed much joy

It Ain’t Good Living

I know it’s ten a.m.,
no need to tell me.
I need a jukebox and some booze
enough to drown.

I’m not here for free advice,

Gallant is thee – haiku

Oh, gallant warrior

of the sea…

Give To Others

People seem to have lost sight
Of common courtesy and respect
Is it something they learn by life
Or is it due a parent’s neglect.

COOL

It’s cool to be a giver
To share your bounteous feast
It’s right to relegate yourself
Your most becoming least
To offer up the things you have
And ease another’s plight
For everything belongs to God
He wants the balance right

Hope for the Hopeless

Hurry hurry it is that time of year, buying presents planning meals, Christmas is drawing near. Tinsel, fairies, Santa’s everywhere, tiny lights twinkle. Hurry past her, close your eyes, tell yourself she’s okay it is so easy to believe convenient lies and hope she will go away.

Don’t ever give her  a second thought. What were the circumstances that, her to this corner brought. How old is she? she does look young but some of them play on that they work in gangs….Scum.

That Girl

 

I’m watching myself do

All the things I said I’d never

Holding too tightly

Wanting too much

Losing me in dreams

Giving away in hope

Bending my own will

Breaking

Over

Your blue-eyed shine
