Timmy's Journal - 36. A Foursome of Poems
Poem 1
Still
So still and silent
No sweet eyes at the door
My knee cooler without you
Quiet dinners; no pleading whines
I miss your humour
Home still doesn’t feel quite right
Some things I cannot change
Yet your nose prints remain
On the kitchen window
reminders of you
still
Poem 2
Hearts like china
break easy as glass.
For this wound
there is no glue.
Poem 3
Welcome Home
Jeremy thought long and hard
before he entered the yard.
The house stood in awkward silence,
but he knew it’s chosen parlance.
It didn’t just speak to any one,
Jeremy knew what was to be done.
He washed the sills and its windows
cleaned until the house chose.
Jeremy ever the perfect host
rose to welcome his fellow ghosts.
Poem 4
Of death I be not afraid
tis life that I fear
I hide my heart
safe
from
the love you
offer
