DEPRESSED
In this hospital I have no will
I'm semi human and holding still
I'm neither hot... I'm neither cold
Just acting cool in position hold
The day rolls by in holding pace
I'm just a face in certain place
Not much identity... not much spunk
Another name... another bunk
To bear the day and pass the time
I write these words in awkward rhyme
Some day to come in future time
I kick the bucket and feel just fine
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
DIET
The dietitian believe it or not
Takes in my life a favored spot
Her eyes are stern and wide awake
She has dark hair and beautiful shape
And every day... come rain or shine
She comes to this humble room of mine
And every thing that is marked in red
I eat and swallow in this stupid bed
The best solution for me however
Is wish my wife goodbye forever
And marry her... quick and fast
With her as cook I might just last
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
DOUBT
There is always this tiny bit of doubt
Our mind just cannot do without
We seem to be never completely sure
And that's the lot we must endure
But if we really think enough
The conclusion surely is not tough
Doubt is a belief we hold and fear
But the simple truth is always here
So please relax and do surrender
For truth just is... and has no bender
Before we know it... we feel at ease
With mind and soul at equal peace
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
DOOM
In this dorren and forsaken place
No people live of any race
The ground is scarred and completely bare
And even water is very rare
Once there was a better time
When this habitat was just sublime
With water and flowers and the greenest grass
With people and children of joy and class
The strife... the greed... the wars galore
Destroyed this place and it is no more
Maybe in a million years again
We'll see some folks with soul and brain
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
DUST
Down the stairs in this deep hole
There is a spot that is my soul
In this dark and dungy place
There is a tiny ray of grace
In the ceiling and in the roof
Hidden deep and quite aloof
Is this tiny bit of slack
The rest of it completely black
Through this opening... oh so small
Peeks the light from a fiery ball
The dust is playing just for fun
In this brilliant ray of sun
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
FASTER THAN LIGHT
If I had a son I would tell him why
I sometimes gaze at bluest sky
For somewhere out there in infinite space
There is the beginning of human race
If I could travel faster than light
I could just prove who is right
For I could look back at Adam and Eve
At the tree and the apple and its retrieve
I could listen to the prophets and their tales
And see the Goddess with her golden scales
There would be no guessing or believing in
The answer would be in pictures thick and thin
But since I have no son and cannot travel fast
I just have to study the books of the past
Actually though... it's just as well
For knowing the answers... makes life hell
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
FEATHER FLIGHT
I feel like a feather and float just then
Everytime I see her and meet eyes again
I feel so small... so infinitely tiny
In this flight of happiness so light and shiny
Never in this life have I felt this before
It's terrific... splendid... too great to ignore
Please let me fly from here and this earth
Because I do love you for all that I'm worth
When I do land... please let me be brave
For loving just you has made me your slave
I just cannot serve you and stay as I am
Because my dear love I'm not yet your man
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
FLEETING MOMENTS
In this great eternal space
There is this earth in air embrace
With you and I... and hare and deer
Just for a while we are but here
Sailing forth between the stars
Aching from the many scars
She's full of pain of bad pollution
Hoping for a quick solution
And by the time we'd realize
To solve our problem smart and wise
This earth... our very living space
Might not survive and kill our race
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
FLOWERS IN WILDERNESS
In this joyful and vibrant mind
There are no thoughts of lower kind
Only thoughts of love and easing charm
So darn right pleasing... cozy and warm
Even on a cold and wintery day
I feel the joy of spring or May
Full of light and full of bliss
Like blooming flowers in wilderness
And never ever... ever again
Will this mind be just the same
As if a storm in blinding rage
Has changed this mind page by page
And all the thinking done afore
Never produced such thoughts before
To make this graceful mind and soul
So jubilant and Godly whole
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
FLYING
There is a girl I know so well
Who sometimes feels worse than hell
But when she bounces back... oh boy
She is a pleasure full of joy
She is then... oh so free and high
Way up yonder in the sky
Wherever you just might have been
A girl like her you've never seen
No wonder I fell in love so fast
And completely forgot about my past
Side by side we sometimes fly
This lovely girl... just her and I
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
GASTRO - STAR
Doctor Sherbaniuk is as noble as gold
And it's hard to know what his brain might hold
The tremendous dedication and working at night
Must be his pleasure and also his plight
Never in my life have I met a human
With such a mind and sharp acumen
So this little poem with pure dedication
Is written for him in sincere appreciation
Knowing a man so humble and stern
Enriched my life... and made me learn
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
GENTLEMAN - STAR
Doctor Marien as we all know
Lifts our spirits to a radiant glow
He's like a magician and does it well
He is a man that I call swell
A gentle touch of joyfulness
With dedication and friendliness
Gives his patients an inner glow
That's make them either leave or go
So please dear doctor do not be shy
And let your touch just multiply
For in this life so full of strife
You are enlightening the dullest life
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
GIFT
What for and how and why
Fell this clumsy dumb old guy
From his sturdy solid base
Into this floating mess and maze
Every thought and every blush
Turns his feelings into mush
Tell him soon my dearest dear
Are your thoughts just as unclear
To him... to him you lovely love
You are the favored from above
And never on this earthly plain
Be his mind and soul the same
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
SILENCE
Since words are but a useless token
They meet and glance... and none is spoken
Because their gleams from eye to eye
Are the witness of their hello - goodbye
Containing the wisdom and the pure
Of the torture they endure
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
RHYME
I always could but never did
For it is not brains or guts or wit
Just a flow of words in rhyme
To tell my love and pass the time
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
GIRL
In this great big hospital
I wander from corridor to hall
And sometimes what I see
Can not really exist or be
It is a girl so tiny and fine
I wish by God that she was mine
And although I had four of my own
This one I want for me alone
Beautiful eyes and a ready smile
It keeps me going mile by mile
Dear unknown... please never grow up
You are adored just as a pup
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
GOING PLACES
You thought that all I could afford
Is this crummy damn old Ford
Well let me tell you dear Hortense
The driveway stalls a gleaming Benz
And if you ever want to go
To the nearest town or latest show
It will get you there pound for pound
To any place or all around
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
