‎'Mother me out!'

The alley ended in the night
You were going too fast
And the child...his words...couldn’t keep instep with you
Those days..... up there.....in place of the moon
a woman......sat squatting.....holding a pie

These days, Mother! ....I take it out on the apple
And each day I leave the house to fall in love
but to no avail

The alley ended in me

and tonight of the house I wanted to buy her
just the image of a small window remains open
See! I’m closed down
I have thrown out the windows of the house
Going to buy some salt for the wound I have
and matched some jigsaw pieces of the sea
so you come back from afar

Gone from our mother’s hand,
following the end of the thread that passes through your
sewing machine we are …Fate!

we have not walked at all
we have only trampled up
these footpaths

Exotic Birds

One of my favorite quotes...

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”~Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Beautiful Kiddos

quote

"The only place where God's time (eternity) intersects with ours (linear time) is in the PRESENT MOMENT. ACIM Quotes: "The past is over; it can touch me not." "Give me your past so I can change your mind about it for you." And "I place the future in the hands of God." To "live in eternity" is to live one moment of peace, followed by another moment of peace, followed by another moment of peace, followed by another moment of peace, ad infinitum..."~Marianne Williamson

Save the Whales

There be whales!
Beautiful, wondrous pods of whales!
They frolic, breach, slap the sea with their tails
Through dense fog and stormy gales,
We Shepherds seek to protect the whales
Ahhh there be whales!
May there always be whales!

Socialite, a poem

Socialite
Rum-raisoned socialite stumbled
Gucci footed first into a puddle of promises.
Lifting herself from obscurity
she puckered up but missed the mouth of opportunity.

Waging war on ascots and aristocrats
stuck up her nose into the stale stagnant boardroom
of deals dealt on false fiscal dreams.
Dow Jonsing it up and down down and up
like a sorry spinning wheel of fortune
spreading herself thin till she was well spent.

Lesia

One of my dearest most precious friends has passed away. Lesia was our son's Godmother. We shared so many wonderful moments raising our children together, sharing our dreams, exchanging ideas about art , life , religion, politics. She bravely fought cancer with all her energy never giving up, never losing her optimism and positive outlook on life. She will always be in my heart and will always be my hero. Love her always! God bless Lesia and her family during this very difficult time. Vichnaya pamyat dorohenka Lesia.
