Mother of Michelle

05 March 2006


Mother of Michelle
heart and soul
This girl who
it was God stole

Taken if not borrowed
a new angel sent forth
Her happiness a heart - gifted
to heaven on road to course

Mother of Michelle
she will never forget
Her daughter’s love
those tears she has wept

Taken by - never from a heart
Mother of Michelle
to death do thy
truly depart


Michelle, ma belle ,These are words that go together well
My Michelle, Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont tre's bien ensemble
Tre's bien ensemble
I love you, I love you, I love you
that's all I want to say, Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know you'll understand
Beatles—Michelle (John Lennon/ Paul McCartney)

the line

"Taken by never from a heart"

may have been a typo on my part
only I choose not to correct it
to read instead as

"Taken but never from a heart"

even if that maybe unpoetic of me

It am still amazed how a poem can write itself in two minutes, yet last forever
and even after 5000 pages, (and 10 years, yet I had composed but 150 by April 1999) that never appears to change.

This is why I call my works, fireproof memories

When those memories may not all be good to keep. You never know what the poet was thinking of or the outcome of such serenity

As to 12 months ago - here is such an example of time. If anyone wants to do the maths.

Loving Someone Too

05 March 2005


Loving someone is just about the
scariest thing - one will ever do
But do you realize - it is also
the most precious too

In thought - in answer
in truth as well
Sure certainly
love is hell

Him and her
she and he
Left and right
and what loving
is meant to be

To give - to take
to borrow but not to steal
Yes loving someone
does have a wonderful appeal

“for Christina”

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the
love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by
the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
Romans 5: 5 KJV

I set out to write a poem about California
I think I tripped up in way of the outcome
Of words that came into my mind,
I knew were in need to be written down

Who was the Poet, God or ME
