Whispers of innocence


Echoing words from some distant film,

I remember the look

As I finished the book

And I kissed you with my eyes.



Your red dress filled the entire room

I want to fill you now

And I will show you how

Your love is my winners prize.



Dreamers kissed but not in dreams

They wonder what’s in store

As they see the unlocked door

Of youths vast enterprise



Hold me in untouched innocence

In that dress you always wore

I will love you deep and more

With the truth that never dies
Good Day


I woke up and I felt good today

Something might be “going my way”

The milk wasn’t sour

And the bread wasn’t old

The trees were “in flower”

And my tea wasn’t cold



I couldn’t believe my fortune or luck

So I relaxed awhile to read a book

But the eyes couldn’t see

The print was too small

Where could my “specs” be?

They’re not here at all



I panicked as I searched like three kings

Inside drawers, cupboards and things

I hunted low and hunted high

Everywhere, that has to be known

I was beat and started to sigh

These glass things had surely flown.



I gave up then and thought of my tea

And to live my whole life unable to see

My tea was now cold

And the book was unread

But was I then so old

I found my “specs” on my head
