The Speed of Loneliness
The speed of loneliness;
leaves you gasping.
One minute, the one you love is near;
the next no longer there.
Then the speed of loneliness;
hits you hard.
You’re in shards, drowning in pain;
fighting to stay alive.
‘Tho dead inside.

Cabbaged clothing;
stain sautéed;
coil around the clothesline;
to save the wrinkles from the wind.

We can be old, yet young in mind;
or old in mind, and be young.
What matters is how we live, love;
the attitude with which; we live our lives,
and how we treat others.

Blood Sugar Slalom
I feeli like I’m skiing;
through a slalom course.
Fortunately I know why.
An amazing meal;
for me, that gives it its appeal.
In spite of a high blood sugar
Excercise, and insulin together
will bring it bring it back down.
Catch you later, gator :-)

Poem June 10th 2015
In the Name of Peace
Diplomats dabble;
trying to unravel;
difficulties
by talking, and travel.
Often looking for a common ground;
where there is none to be found.
They do it because they want a peaceful world
and don’t want our world fall into war’s swirl.

Poem June 9th 2015
Sickness, illness, and disease
are a part of life.
It is important;
that you do not let it;
be used to take away your rights.
Nor stop you from doing;
what you want to do;
with your life.
You might have to fight;
against sickness, illness or disease;
every step of the way.
Never give up.
You must live your life every day.

Poem June 8th 2015
A Form of Hope
Tiring myself out;
to the point of exhaustion;
so I can sleep.
Otherwise I would be kept awake;
by thoughts that refuse to retreat.
Only brings sadness and pain
and a sleepless night again.

Sadness’ Catacombs
Catacombed in sadness;
have to get out of its maze;
before you’re ablaze with madness;
leaving you a wrecked husk.

Water
Water is necessary for life;
Looks like it will be a cause for strife;
Between people, countries,
and corporations.
We need to find a way to share;
so that people get it
instead of dying.
