drifts from bright to grey to black
A storm approaching

Poem – Caffeine with Sugar and Cream
I see you sitting there,
brewing, stewing, hot.
Acting like you’re something,
something in that pot.
♠
You are a constant,
an always endless need.
A sudden caffeine warning,
whose advice you better heed.
♣
One cup, two cups
three cups, four.
Lusting, lusting,
always needing more.
♦
An addiction,
passing through my veins.
Driving me along,
holding all the reigns.

Sunlight trapped behind the grey
Four miles, legs felt great

Haiku – Midnight
Midnight is calling
Just outside my window pane
In a star filled night
§
The night marches on
Midnight taps on my shoulder
Need to get some sleep
§
A tough wake up call
Baby is teething early
Midnight got here quick

Haiku – Today’s Run – (1/03/2013)
Cold gray gloomy day
Two point five miles – led like legs
Rattle, clang, and clink
This kind of sums me up.

Poem – Take It To The Limit
Listening to music
with my wife and son
Nostalgia
Rushes over me
in a musical wave
I almost can’t take the flow
the speed
as it rushes
washing me down
I’m caught in the undertow
I give in
I let it take me
I float
I drift
On a sea of Time
Thinking back
Memories
cruising days
What happened?
Where’s that magic track?
The one that will take us back
When music was –
friends
buds
and
suds
Records
Tapes
CD’s
my youth
rushed by so fast
I hope my son
will have memories
like mine
Oh Nostalgia
I love you so
Yes,
Take it to the limit one more time
Now it’s your turn. Flood my comment section below with bands or songs that take you back. Give me a reason why if you want. You don’t have to though. Sometimes the artist or song alone will tell the tale.

Poem – Rough Hands and Gentle Skin
A father holds his son
Comfort in his daddy’s arms
Precious one
Your eyes tell me what I need to know
Love I see
Happiness
I just want to give you the world
I just want to hand it to you on a silver platter
I just want to let you know it will always be okay
Just stay in my arms
Rock with me in this chair
Fall asleep in peace
Dream in slumber
I’ve got you
Feel safe
Feel warm
Heart to heart
Beat to beat
Nothing greater than this love
Holly Dunn – Daddy’s Hands

Haiku – Carolina Day 3
My shoulder, nap time
Son’s gentle breath in my ear
Secure, safe, and warm
Carolina Day 1
Blue skies and no clouds
A warm, bright, and beautiful
Carolina day
Carolina Day 2
Sun filled, light blue sky
Casual white clouds drifting
Lazy hammock day

Haiku – News
What happened to fun?
Just a lot of gloom and doom –
on the T.V. set
Is there any good news left to report?
Every time I watch the local news or national news all I see are horrible stories. Can’t they report something other than that?
Maybe that should be their New Years resolution.

Poem – Behind The Wooden Cross
In
your
shadow I
will stand
Behind
the
wooden
cross
The world needs to see just how great you’re love is
Because
even
in your
shadow
I still
feel
safe
and
warm
thank
you
for all
that you
do
I have wanted to try a shape poem for some time. Can you guess what it is? I hope to do more of these in the future.

Christmas Eve – first snow
Detective picks up the trail
Killer has no clue

Eyes for just the prize
Dressed out in a Santa suit
The detective waits

Hidden by shadow
Watching the seasonal beat
of twinkling white lights

Killer makes his move
Detective saves this Christmas for
one lucky victim
—
The white lights sparkle
Detective arrives at home
Christmastime is safe
Merry Christmas everyone!
I hope you guys have a great holiday.
