Something isn't Right

A motor won't go without gas

A Puzzle missing pieces isn't done

You can add a little spice

To make our food taste nice

And my mind isn't right without you

Fish can't swim out of water

A plane cant fly without wings

The chef can't cook the meat

without a little heat

And I can't live without you. 

We miss the sun when it's cloudy

Can't howl at the moon when it's day

In the stars we're told 

There's a big black hole 

And those stars know exactly how I feel. 

Worth the Pain

Looking on a wintry scene

I saw a couple trying to meet

But the ice had something different in mind

And they both went off their feet

The landing sure looked painful

But when I stood up to help

they were holding each other laughing

Not a bit of pain was felt

Sometimes when we slip

It's painful when we fall

we just hold each other laughing

And we don't care at all

Now slipping may seem bad

It makes us look like fools

But when everything's surreal

You and I are cool...

Role play

Along the way

The rolls we'd play

The king and queen

the naves were preened 

The blacksmith's cars

Fans and stars

Love professed

Who's the best

That's how it went

To school we're sent

On our own 

Seeds are sown

Should conform

Loyalties torn

Get the feel

Chase ideals

Party break

Tough to wake

Hard knocks teach

School and streets

With two began

The bliss plan

In work we wallow

Children follow

Can it last?

It goes too fast

Rolls will change

Hearts are pained

Nothing keeps 

Who needs sleep?

Lost a role

Empty soul

Living great

Truth comes late

Holding passion

Different fashion 

There's still time

More to find

Less to bear

We're Halfway there

Work is done

The spirit's won

The flesh is weak

A home we seek

To house the soul

Without the roles

A closing sigh

Loved ones cry

A spirit's flight

Toward the light. 

 

Presence

Does presence have boundaries?

The atmosphere becomes charged 

When I feel your presence

Joy, security, and goodness

I can't help but smile

Everything is right. 

Flesh has unfortunate boundaries

But spirit is endless and eternal

Love is found in the eternal realm

It is discovered and held there

This treasure is too great 

For flesh to contain.

My heart races when I am alone

And you interrupt my thoughts 

I Hear the sound of your voice

In the depths of my soul 

We are spirit and flesh

A delightful combination

A Modern Harvest

Back in the day we would write 

Of harvest time, the sounds and the sights

Today we pack all our gear to explore

Adventures and sights at a big box store

Wagons are circling around the big letters

They jostle each other, the closer the better 

We push iron carts instead of the plow

No time for growing, we want it now

Veggies and fruit just days from the pickin

Shaved all the hams and roasted the chickens

There's a variety of beasts in the isles we share

Stretch pants, pajamas; style's not a care

A checkout for woman; the shortest line yet

The meaning is different for men I would bet

If the goal is accomplished with nerves still intact

The bags on the counter will all be unpacked

This never changes springtime or fall

Let's start a garden when we're back from the mall. 

Pondering

I pondered for a while

impossibilities

No matter how I write it

The ending turns out well

I tried to reason out

Compatibility

I rearrange the letters

Together's what it spells

My understandings clear

Availability 

No matter where life goes

We'll forever dwell
