Space Needed

Contemplating space…

   Space Needed

When both feeling blue
Have to give the space needed
Would rather hold you

Bitter Sweet

Contemplating life…

   Bitter Sweet

Family gathers round
Circle of life bitter sweet
New connections found

Could Do

Contemplating life…

   Could Do

Not really a gaffe
Worried about our babies
We forget to laugh

But still sometimes all
Could do with a laugh it’s free
And might lift the pall

Gentle Side

Contemplating the heart…

   Gentle Side

He’s a brooding brute
But he has a gentle side
She thinks that he’s cute

A Man Is A Fool

Contemplating stupidity…

   A Man Is A Fool

A man is a fool
And must needs apologize
Praying he doesn’t bring forward the demise
Of her love for him ever knowing his for her rules

His heart
For she is the center of his life
Yes there are other responsibilities

And day to day life full of difficulties
Crowding out moments meant for his wife
His part

Is to hold her tight and think, so not thoughtlessly cruel
Seems so simple how could he do otherwise?
Yet again he must apologize
Such a fool

Happy Anniversary My Love…

Looks Like

Contemplating travail…

   Looks Like

When you work too hard
Burn out looks like depression
Don’t play that last card

   -gl-

The last card being whatever desperation brings…

Mists Of Forever

Contemplating love and loss…

   Mists Of Forever

My love’s been forlorn
Lost in mists of forever
Of hope I’ve been shorn

Then again reborn
When thought it would be never
I have been reborn

The Killing Shot

Courage, sacrifice, and getting the job done…

   The Killing Shot

He shoved the bad guy
Deflecting the killing shot
Job done. As he died…

A tribute to a best friend I never met…

Heroism should be celebrated. Pass it on…

About Justice

Contemplating loss…

   About Justice

A baby passes
I wonder about justice
And the randomness of how the fates will press
Themselves in upon the quiet lives of the masses

These are not questions
That will bear any good fruit
Only descending into dark depression

Or maybe worse spiraling off into delusion
Chosen for higher pursuit
Is a temptation

Dangerous clashes
Driven by those called to test
The limits of fate then forgetting about justice
No, it is just sad when a baby passes
