P.S. for Doreen

thought of you
this night
computer light
looking at me
straight in the eye
TV off to the right
Channel 8, PBS
caught my ear

P.S. was on
and Doreen knows
I had to stop
the channel surfing
to sing along
sing song
go along
with the tide
of waves waving
wild my stride
giving me again
a place to hide
in my heart
as the tunes
of the troubadour
roll along

the poet's song
gave sing-a-long
I am a Rock
I am an Island

and the Baileys
in my coffee
says "no pain"

and he sings
"no pain"

and how I miss
the daily of him
on the radio
every time the
glow of a memory
comes by
Sounds of Silence
creep in…

P.S. - Doreen
he went to new!
new songs and
new belongings
to newer times
and he morphs
along
still the troubadour
of my youth
bringing you
along to greet me
on the road

what do you think
his inspiration is
and where does
it come from
for him, DP?

Just listen…
he makes it sound
so easy…
and you and I
could do it…
well, you can
do it…

and I listen and
I see Doreen
writing all
the words
she writes
like he
sings
it
rings
she
rocks!

You are young
I am older
and we find
truly listening we
find
P.S. in
our uncommon
minds….
makes me smile

Doreen has better
chance to make
P.S. proud,
and I will be
happy just to know
the two of them

one a little bit
better than the
other…

my good fortune
for sending a
message of
P.S. to Doreen

...over troubled water.....

karilea- you honor me more than i can put in words.... i have loved paul simon all of my life and would marry him if he were available...ROFL... could you let him know that please? lol.... this is a wonderful poem and i am truly blown out of the water, still, that in my writing, you see something of one of my most treasured and admired lyricists..... his work is truly genius and i have been known to play his cds until they get handled so much, i have to replace them... that's how it was with "graceland" especially, and now with the new one... god, it's a fabulous album!!!! and as far as me being younger and you being older, well, paul said it best....

"The world is old.!
The Bible's old.
God is old, he made the mold!
But we're not old......"

..... please do yourself a favor and go out and buy the new album... it's a treat in both music, lyrics, and wisdom..... and check out the Lorraine song... lol... "you're not the woman i married! give me back my bathrobe, i'm going back to bed... i''m sick to death of you, Lorraine!" rofl.... see? i'm wearing the darn thing out.. i've listened to it at least once a day since i bought it a couple of weeks ago...

oh, geez...i'm sorry, i'm on a paul simon ramble... *sigh*....

THANK YOU for this poem, my dear friend.... i am truly honored and you are a wonderful poet and special person.....

- all you can ever really ask out of life is a sincere apology and some decent poetry -

You three!  too much fun...

'Deer, thanks for reading...I can't think of Paul Simon anymore without Doreen coming to mind, and vice versa...she is one talented lady as we all know...

Nan, right on!...

Doreen...if I should ever meet him, he shall know where YOU live...bread and butter, wine and cheese...Paul and Doreen....yep!  And if I get some $$$ for Christmas, I'm off to buy the album!
