You all have gone, well more or less,
Though... always growing is the mess,
And for what's left behind, I'd guess,
We'll ship it up... by UPS.

I hate it when we have to part,
So ere you get too big a start...
Like thieves, you've practiced well your art...
And once again, you've stole... my heart!

[Written just as my daughter, son-in-law, and grandsons left after their Easter visit.]

This poem was inspired by a young woman's wish concerning her cheating boyfriend:

Mariah

Oh… hot, dry wind… you blow right through
My cold and empty heart;
There’s nothing left to slow your gales
From tearing me apart.

All my emotions, you’ve blown out…
And my mercies, too.
So, lover… now I hope the wind
Will blow a tree on you!

Reading through all of these, there are SO many good ones that I just love. =~)
I thought I'd share one of my own with you.

Of Three
I want to quell your haunting fears;
My dear, I hear you loud and clear.
Here, softly whisper in your ear,
Three words I mean sincere.

Side by side, our hands enfold,
As we enter this storm of old.
Struggling in the bitter cold,
Holding close the three words told.

Silence keeps the storm at bay,
But only for a short delay.
More we enter this petulant fray.
Three words once again we say.

The sun extends a vibrant light
Out of the clouds, and in plain sight.
The storm scurries away in fright
Three words said now with delight.

The nature of a harsh reality
Combined with sad irrationality
Bring upon these storms, you see.
The words we wield, said in three.

Filling Your World

by Cigam_mai -- June 29, 2014

The past was filled with:
...Excitement,
......Exploration,
.........Discovery,
............Accomplishment.

The present is filled with:
...Being still,
......Knowing yourself,
.........Seeking support,
............Evolving.

The future can be filled with:
...Developing a vision,
......Creating a new reality,
.........Being passionately alive,
............Bringing and experiencing joy.

You are the light in your:
...Past,
......Present,
.........And… future,

Shine God’s presence into all of it!

[Written to encourage my father on his 85th birthday.]

Another limerick; this one was an invitation to join our weekly poker tournament.

Velinda’s Invitation

by Cigam_mai -- August 14, 2014

I know that your husband’s not here.
He’s out of the country, I fear.
…Delay your home journey
…Come play in our tourney,
And make due with pizza… no beer!

Limerick – For the Want of a LIKE

by Cigam_mai -- September 2, 2014

First, Gary, I need a quick look
On computer, phone, or a nook.
---And I’m not being mean;
---I won’t bless it, unseen,
I still haven’t proofed your new book!
