I didn’t get to say goodbye
I didn’t get to hold your hand
I didn’t get to see your face
Just one more time
Before my end
And you know I’ll be waiting
Here on the other side
God still has big plans for you
Yes, it’s okay to cry
I hope that you were proud of me
I hope my memories make you smile
I hope you never lose your faith
Sometimes it’s tempting
Just for awhile
And as you travel through your life
Please, always understand
We are temporary dwellers
Just dreamers in a fairyland
When the glamour faded
So did he
One moment there
The next – absentee
Why does this happen
All of the time
Will I ever find love
As myself – divine
Creating illusions
To capture the eye
Only to lose
Walk away and cry
Life isn’t fair
My mother always said
Yet I still find myself
Alone in this bed
But, maybe tomorrow
I’ll not wear the mask
Go out in the world
Take on the task
And maybe, if I’m lucky,
I’ll finally catch the eye
Of the love of my life
Well, at least it’s worth a try
Happy, happy everyday
Minnie helps me find my grace
Goofy, he’s a silly one
Loping ’round and having fun
Donald is a funny fowl
His voice is strange
My bill a scowl
And, Tootles keeps us on our toes
Solving riddles
With tools he knows
But, you all know this house of play
The name is, Mickey
Have a nice day
Be who you are
The power is inside
Reach for the stars
Have faith and not pride
Give voice to the voice
That resides in your heart
The words that you say
Can mend a soul torn apart
Speak kindness and love
And lead the right way
Smile and laugh often
Everyday
Time will soon come
And your ship will sail
Stay true in your faith
Live inside the pale
If I fall, I know the kiss of a thousand angel’s wings will catch me and set me upon the solid ground with a reassurance that can only come from God. If I lose a friend, my heart may break, but time will heal the heart and soul as our paths have been forever laid out before us in the book of life. We may not know what is written on those pages until we have ventured beyond them, but if we have faith in God, then it really doesn’t matter. Have faith and be well my friends!
Oh, wistful wind
How you tease me so
Gentle as the summer breeze
You cause dancing of the snow
Twisted and destructive
Typhoons and cyclones too
Heartbreak you leave in your path
To settle in the gloom
You can ease the heat of August
Or crash the waves of the seas
Dry the tears from a baby’s eyes
Blowing as you please
A love or hate relationship
Mother Nature’s deadly wrath
Sailors curse or praise you
Are you a psychopath
Where once there fell
A crusty piece
Of savory flavored
Ripened beast
With all the sides
One does adore
Gaseous swamp
And frost of hoar
Gelatinous moss
From north of tree
Bullfrog throat
With pitch – high C
Once stroked in pot
With hellfire’s heat
Now blades of grass
Thou must eat
Deliciousness
None can compare
Lest ye hath had
Burnt paw of bear
Subservient threads tighten around the ilk of my shadowed memories
Where darkness embraces silence like a lover
And I lay suffering – floundering in foul dreams
My soundless cries echo
While I walk alone with spectres
Who take pleasure as they caress my very soul
Hello my wonderful, talented WordPress family!
As I have continued my struggle to write on any kind of regular basis I had a thought… Start a contest! I will post a couple of my abstract paintings and see what kind of response I get with micro-fiction or poetry using one of the paintings below as the subject.
As an added bonus I will give away each painting to the winner that I and my small team choose. (Any ideas or volunteers to help judge would be great. You would obviously not be in the contest.)
Rules:
Good luck to all and happy writing!
Kev
Hello my sweet and precious WordPress family peeps!
I hope you are all happy, safe, healthy and doing well!
I am contemplating placing some of my paintings out here to see what kind of microfiction stories or poetry they might glean…
I dabble in abstract acrylic pourings, and I am always fascinated by the interpretations of what people see in these paintings.
So, with that in mind, and in lieu of my muse making me wait like a good, innocent, loving couple for their eventual wedding night, I think I like this idea.
I was in my new painting area (basement) while flooring is being installed upstairs and I was looking at several of my paintings and thinking of what I was seeing… Then, in a flash, I wondered if this might be an opportunity to see what inspiration some of them might bring to my WP peeps…
I like this idea and may start a new posting for microfiction or poetry contest… Maybe, I’ll even consider giving the painting to the best entry…
Please let me know your thoughts!
A work in progress… Stay tuned!!!
Kev
