A Don't Blame Yourself Poem

Upside down life

plans go astray

 

don't blame yourself

 

Fast moving mistakes

backtracking seems pointless

 

don't blame yourself

 

Guilty conscious asking

was I wrong?

 

don't blame yourself

 

Talk it over

someone who knows

 

don't blame yourself

 

Asking for guidance

their opinion counts

 

don't blame yourself

 

Helpful ...

Contact means everything

Born to Die

Medical investigation reveals

infants taken unnecessary

life itself stolen

can forgiveness accept?

moral understanding only

starts a beginning

when stressful grief

has time for

tolerance to heal.

Thoughtful Changes

Blaming others

backward thinking

positive turnaround

lies waiting

perhaps inside

thoughtful changes

ourselves can

make happen

if only

certain people

it can.

My Goodbye Letter

To

The Last Hello and The Last Goodbye

 

Sorry I can't

hug and hold

 

Whispering gentle words

that really matter

 

Sudden empty heart

will never understand

 

Bless you eyes

faith filled prayers

 

Tears of grief

ink well full

 

Broken spirit writes

I love you

 

Have lost count

how many times

 

If no reply

I know that

Sadness holds a photograph

bombed out ruins

once a home, once a boy

but they say

a brave soldier did not return

but we say

instead of medals showing courage

we wanted our boy.

Faith says Keep

You're Dead Meat

Strapped up tight

bandit style white mask

blue sweaty gloves

keeping safe distance

 

Extremely upset Granny

flying into wild rage

Next time you

wait outside the bathroom

dressed like that

you're dead meat!

Why are You not Wearing Your Scarf ?

Too tight

Neck complaining

feeling warm

Body warning

 

Taking off

hanging loose

draping over

comfortable chair

 

Speak Easy

night ended

homeward bound

forgetting scarf

 

Both Neck

and Body

said together

Never mind

 

Only when

freezing cold

antarctic wind

they say

 

Why are

You not - - -

Wearing your scarf ?

A Tall Glass of Yesterday

Bottled up tight

blanked out regrets

bitter taste

hard to swallow

that lingers longer

than it should

dark memories

stand tall again.
