Sea mist
Palm trees
Sand in between
My toes
Oh how do I leave?
Those Florida, souls
Cascading waves
Foaming seams of nature’s salt waters dreams
Oh
Oh my
Oh when will the sky look upon me
Bright enough for just one last time
Sea Mist wetting my cragged tired face
Palm trees to say, HEY friend!
Sand enough between my toes to fill a broken hearts woes
Sea mist washing away my tired days
Sea mist
Untitled:
Come quickly
My dear-
Come sit with me
As we had in yester year
Listen, now is the not Santa
Santa’s reindeer
Hooves clawing on our roof for all to hear?
Oh how I wish
This was still back when
When you and your brother fought
And then were friends, again and again
And I/we would hear
You’re ripping open brightly colored packages
Till you were surrounded
In a sea of tissue and wrapping
For Mom to clean up after, again and again
My lost little friend
And now I know it’s time for you to go
And turn from you to clear bright light
Oh how I wish you could stay, for a whole day?!
And play on the floor, amongst toys’ galore
-Sigh-
Oh I wish you could come back
I miss you always, more and more
Everyday
Why should
I wait
To escape
My fate tis on meadows horizon
And there I lay
Amongst the hay
Rich in red
Bleeding dead
Some say why
I ask not
And so it tis that
Ends make it only once
Or twice
And that’s enough
To suffice
Is that you?
Is that me?
There was a time
My love
When all was right
And all was wrong
But in the end the life sailed on
My love
And so within
This makeshift box do sing
Is a life well spent?
Where reason and love had repent
And in the life’s end
Did more of you and me did expend
To say . HI!
My name is Nigel’s
And I don’t lie
So write your list
Of Christmas lesson learned and missed
For there I will and do roam
Until I do pass
All
Alone
What fell
from the shelf
Onto the floor
Of
Nevermore
Oh..amI reeling unto and into
the times lost amongst
us
All I say
Tis
A another brilliant day and
to that end
is the dread that
Will always END!!
Yesterday came and went
Like a great rail train spewing smoke in vent
You were 4
I was 2
We fought like mad man
Until
The night flew
And then it was 5 and 8 and beyond
Our lives as brothers were lost, oh, lost for all
And now I think and say this my brother
Without our scraps and scrapes to one another
I wouldn’t think
There was a another time
I would
Spend
That could be happier than that then
And now you sleep
For evermore
I guess I’ll soon too
Greet you in the great
Nevermore
Where ghosts of time
Hide beyond the lines
And there we, I hope we, thee
Will see one another
Another we’ll see
As if we were once
Just you and me
And there she was
A girl of girls
Wrapped in blue Jeans and flowing curls
Her father said; had I known better
I’d named her Tom
Instead of Stephanie
A tom-boy she was
And none better
Could pitch she could
Her grandad made sure
Hung out with all the boys
One especially she knew would
Malcolm he was
And to her mighty cute
The romance began
Where nothing else could
The years passed
Most were quick
One day she changed
From Tom to peanut butter
Because all the boys said
She made them feel like jelly
When she smiled at them. Oh brother!
Don’t worry Lass
Rest and awake
At your new place
Don’t worry Lass
I’ll take care of your lawn
Under the stars of your own
Where you’ll see your dreams
of when, and then….
That had come
and gone
….And now will take you
to where you are to go…
Don’t worry, dear
You’ll soon pass to a place held fast
Don’t worry Lass
And you’ll be around
In a new place
Still in all
Where you last held
Space
Don’t worry Lass
Don’t worry
Every minute lays awake
For times
Unsung, to make
Their break
Soar….
A shadow ran
Across my face
And left its mark
Without a trace, Except for
A line or two
Of years denied
But also suffered through
In that lane
Of remorseful purposes
Hide times
So lost before us…
And what about you?
