Choices

Slowly
The eyes
Move
Across
The heart,
Back
And forth
Until
A decision.
And then
The eyes
close.

Bouncing Balls

Posted in Poetry on September 13, 2010| Leave a Comment »

The
Sun
grazes
the
brown
hilltops
And
the
blue
sky
is
interrupted
by
the unnatural
sounds
of
a
bouncing
ball
bouncing
where
no one
plays
and
the spirit
is
dampened

Walls

Dirty
faces
in a

surrounded
by dirty
faces
on the
perimeter
streets
both
yearning
for peace.

Parenthood

Tired,
Overweight
And angry.
Life gives
Us
A full

And we
Spill
Our cups
Again
and
Again.

Happy Birthday

The
glasses
are
full
and
raised
with
heroes
absent
and
others
present;
drinking,
remembering
and
forgetting;
carrying
on
’till
others
raise
their
glasses
for
them
