THE WAYS OF THE STOMACH

Lucy was walking across the yard

She was feeling kinda dreary

Then a rush of fog swept in and

She found she couldn’t see clearly

She shut her eyes tight

And waved the fog away

She opened her eyes and jumped for joy

As she saw an ice cream sundae!

She began to run so she could engulf

That very large ice cream

But then she shot out of bed

It was only just a dream

So the moral of this poem

Is as clear as it can be

Make sure before you head to bed

You’re not feeling hungry!

Chocolate and roses (minus the roses)

Walks along the beach

While the sun bursts into a mosaic

Of orange, red, and pink.

Dinner on the top of the Eiffel tower

With the full moon up ahead

Shining so bright that no other source of light we need

Violins painting notes across the wind

To create a canvas of beauty

PA-LEASEE….

Love is a scam from the wedding business

Just a way to steal your wallet

Without you even noticing

Love is a way to diminish your brain cells

So that you could no longer think for yourself

When the diamond store tells you

She needs that 3 caret ring

Love is a big waste of time

Better spent eating cake

Drizzled in chocolate sauce

And topped off with a scoop of ice cream

Cause now that love is out of the way

You don’t need to watch your waistline

6:30 AM

A pool of silver

Shimmering in the white sunlight

I am blanketed by a frothy layer

Of dallops of whipped cream on a crystal blue plate

As soft as a mountain of rose petals

That brush along my cheek

Filling my skin with its subtle aroma

But then something hard and sharp

Pricks my skin

OW!

A thorn!

BANG BANG

The angels are angry

Banging their drums

CLASH BANG DONG DONG DONG

It’s a war

Between the moment and the future ahead

Only one action exists

That will end this dilemma

A button!

It lies so close beside me

Yet seems so far away

BANG DONG BEEP BEEP BEEP

Just a little farther…

CLASH DONG BEEP BEEP BEEP

I just have to STRETCH

CLASH DONG BEEP BEEP BEEP

And I hit it as hard as I can!

CLASH DONG BEEP-

All is quite in the room

Filled with mountains of homework and books

My eyes flutter shut

As weightless as a feather

That flew off the raven that soared over the horizon

As I am allowed just 5 more minutes

Of serenity

Thank god one invented the snooze button

The Sandbox

I am from miles
and miles of sand
which was only three meters really

And enclosed like a picture
but it was there I sat
alone
my hands submerged
in coins, leaves, keys, little soldiers
and miles
and miles of sand.

I couldn't go on the playground
'cause I'd have to run
to horribly have to huff hysterically
while the cats raced to the other end

Snickering under their breath

As I tried to run behind

To join in the world of happiness and belonging

they knew I would never keep up
my face was wet even when the sun smiled.

We were a population of a gazillion
and one
all the same, except me
the one
human
who's only friends
were the gazillion grains of sand.

It must be true
that opposites attract
for all the sand and I had in common
was the rain be our foe.

And all those who were like me
would never come near me.

I am from miles

And miles of sand

And although I have broken the gates

Sometimes I have to return

Home.

The Second Sunday of May

It was a cacophony of three dimensional forms
held together by an absurd jelly
that looked to be secreted from an alien.

Colours splashing from every corner I touched
as if I sat in the wig of the circus clown
that came for Lily's birthday
perhaps nothing stranger has ever been made.

The hands who crafted such a gift
stared at me with deep blue irises
waiting with anticipation
for a joyful reaction.

At most instances
I would have stared in disgust
with nothing more than a nod
and a clunk as it flew in the garbage
a smile grew thusly
on my visage.

For the every words that spoke "I love you Mommy"
Rested in my hands.

It’s all for the love…L-O-V-E (a lyric poem composed of MJ lyrics)

People always told me be careful what you do

When it’s close to midnight

They told me if you wanna be tough

You better do what you can

Because they don’t really care about us

I told them that I aint second to none

That the world is a better place for you and for me

But they are tired of injustice

Tired of the schemes

And they have not a clue when it’s all gonna end

But you can beat me, hate me

Cause you can never break me

And four walls won’t hold me tonight

So just show your face

In broad daylight

So I can get the message across

That yet you haven’t heard

I’m gonna make a change

For once in my life

But I can’t do it by myself

Love is a feeling

And since we are all a part of

God’s great big family

You know love is all we need

ON MY MOTORCYCLE

Time for moving on

I just gotta hold on

To the speed

Of the silver black phantom scooter

It’s my time

For the taste of freedom

To experience the roaring

I’m just gonna ride in style

Fast and furious

To get away

From all the pain

That walked by my side

I ride to beat all

Gaining speed as I go farther and farther

It tries to run behind

But it cannot catch up to me

Since I’m going many miles an hour

Im just going forward

Never looking back

Just heading for the future

Leaving the past behind

One block at a time
