"BABY COME HOME" (26th in a series of my poetry and prose)

"Baby Come Home"

Sun is shining, a new day has started.

But no day is bright, when you feel broken-hearted.

Sun is shining, plenty of light,

But my days are all dark, as if it were night.

Now that you’ve left me, crying and blue,

Nothing but grey skies have come into my view.

Everything should be cheerful and gay,

But I can’t be happy when you’re so far away.

Losing my hope and faith in myself,

Putting my heart back up on a shelf,

Can’t seem to shake it, this feeling of doubt.

How can I go on when my love light’s gone out?

I pray every morning you’ll come home today.

Don’t you know that I need you in my life to stay?

Everything I am and do is a reflection from before...

A shadow dangles over me

‘til you’re in my arms once more.

"SAME OLD SONG" (25th is my series of poems)

"Same Old Song"

Tomorrow is today in the darkness of the night.

Yesterday’s the day before,

But something’s just not right.

We’ve spent the whole night crying;

It can’t go on like this.

Where did we get off the track

When we started with a kiss?

One word led to another,

Then you turned on the light.

We spent the whole night sighing...

We didn’t mean to fight.

Come on now, let’s close our eyes,

We’ll work it out tomorrow.

Come on now, our love will keep.

And the dawn will fade our sorrow.

Dry those tears, no need to weep.

We’re on the straight and narrow.

There’s no problem we can’t solve...

We’re shot with Cupid’s arrow!

Let’s make love and hold on close...

Let’s just kiss and say goodnight.

Our special love is stronger than most.

I’ll see you in the morning light...goodnight.

"LETTER HOME" (24th in my series of poems)

"Letter Home"

Everything here remains the same.

Except, the sun eternally shines.

Palm trees still sway in the breeze,

Reigning forever over lights and seas.

The planets are magnificent

From the highest hilltops.

And the stars sparkle plenty

From the warm tile rooftops.

Jupiter and Saturn aligned last week...

And the full moon had a lunar shadow.

Two weeks ago, eclipse of the sun...

I think it was July sixteenth or so.

The ocean is endless and undulating...

Blue then white, blue then white.

Best beach time is when it’s forsaken...

Almost always late at the night.

The mountains pop up amid beaches and valleys.

Too far to walk, you hike or drive it.

There’s a cozy place by a tall pine tree...

Made for a quilt and grapes and tapes and we.

That’s how it is here still...

Of course, I dearly miss you

But I don’t often get lonely or bored, 

I'm surrounded by the art of Our Lord!

"BECAUSE OF YOU" (23rd in a series of my poems)

"Because of You"

It’s a new day and a new way

Now that You’re in my life.

Paranoia is gone...insecurity too

And it’s all because of You.

You showed me how to have faith...

In You, in God, and in myself.

You touched my hand and taught me pride...

You made me feel it deep inside.

After all, You’re right, you know…

I really do deserve the best.

The best is You, and in the end.

You're my Savior, my Healer, my Friend.
