May Our Words
May our words;
be like an inextinguishable candle;
sharing warmth love and light.
Now and always.

Commentary
If attention was an ounce
of prevention;
we’d still have too much
balderdash; masking
as political parties,
future trends and entertainment .

Poem Nov 28th 2015

Stress Sandwiched Mind
Stress sandwiched mind;
tries to lighten the extraneous,
and the unimportant;
instead of piling it on.

Poem Nov 27th 2015

Together
Leaning into one another;
as they wait.
Slightly dozing in their place.
They hear a noise;
jolted awake.
Arm in arm getting on the train;
finding a seat;
falling asleep;
together again.

Poem Nov 26th 2015

Drifting
Drifting out of tiredness’ net;
I hear the radio;
cackling news.

Poem Nov 25th 2015

In Memory of A Departed Friend
Mirror’s tears;
make me weep.
Knowing you and your reflection;
have suddenly passed on.
Depriving us of your funny jokes,
and funky songs
You are loved and missed.
We’ll do our best;
that in our thoughts ‘n’ memories;
sketches ‘n’ songs;
you’ll live on.

Mack’s Snack
Mack musing;
over marinated meatballs;
filled with mascarponed marmalde

Moonlight’s Fuel
Moonlight fuels smiles;
‘n’ glowing eyes.
Laughing arm in arm;
strolling off into the night

Poem Nov 22nd 2015

Snow Popcorned Windows
Snow popcorned windows;
shriven with scornful frost.

Erotic is a legal narcotic.

Poem Nov 20th 2015

En Route to the Theatre
Lack of sleep.
Feelin’ like an iceberg;
floating in the ocean;
enjoying the peaceful motion.
Need some coffee to
perk up,
and regrettably dispel this notion.
Need energy for the stage;
an audience to entertain;
looking forward to our play!

Poem Nov 19th 2015

Painfully Powerless
Seeing and feeling your sadness;
makes me wish and want;
to take it away.
Being powerless hurts profoundly.

Poem Nov 18th 2015

Gear Shift
Wind shifts gears;
as things start;
flying around everywhere.

Poem Nov 17th 2015

Terrorists
You who have created many pieces;
by your actions;
think the remaining ones
will cut each other up;
creating a bigger mess than before.
A new picture is emerging;
all the pieces are converging;
forming anew in unexpected ways.
We are entering a phase;
these are the days;
our world will never be the same.
Your diverse acts of death
‘n’ destruction in many names,
and places;
violates all beliefs;
hurts and shames this world.
Humanity has seen it before.
Peace will come,
but not in the way;
you want or expect.
(C)BJG(Blair Gaulton)Nov 2015

Poem Nov 16th 2015

The Love of Music
Eyes, faces, bodies, minds,
souls aflame;
in the love of music.
Humming, singing and dancing;
each one unique;
yet united at this moment.
(C)BJG(Blair Gaulton)Nov 2015

Poem Nov 14th 2015

We Must Not Be Silent
We must not remain silent.
Those who kill;
are not doing God’s will,
but their own.
They need to be caught;
fairly tried, punished and jailed.
We all must stand up;
raise our voices,
and show the world.
They ‘ve failed.

Living Candles
We are all living candles.

Poem Nov 13th 2015

Blood Sugar Butterfly’s Hope
Blood sugar bananas;
as I flap through the leaves.
Will the butterfly make it back;
to the home field?
Hopefully.

Poem Nov 12th 2015

A Wish
Words pull in many ways,
and directions.
Change lives,
and alter perceptions;
as well as our conceptions.
May our words;
open our own, 
and others’ eyes, hearts and minds.
