A twisted lullaby, maybe?
A twisted lullaby, maybe?
A Poem byCoyote Poetry
June poetry number eighteen. Came to me in my dream. A twisted lullaby.
A twisted lullaby, maybe?
Was the first of June and Johnnie and Lucy wanted a adventure. Johnnie told his dear Lucy, I have loved you yesterday and today I love you more. She laughed at his words. She smiled and she told him. You American boys can whisper sweet words seeking kiss and a slow dance. But us London gals, we need more than words. We need evidence and great proof. You promise me a adventure and place of mystery. You can take my hand and I will walk with you to the city of wonder and madness. Do not try to steal a kiss till we can make me smile.
He told her. A Gypsy carnival in the valley. Known for food of wonder and sweets of…

Folly…
Folly…
Dead men don’t weep no more,
stagnant life lead to deluded ending,
Pretty things can hide the hidden truth,
nothing gain-nothing lost.
We can ascend and we can fall,
the echoes of today and the echoes of yesterday are what we become,
we can be consumed or be condemned.
The old man logic is. Men will rise and men will fall, we will cry and we shall know laughter. Each of us will walk upon the floor of rice paper, believing we are invincible.
The folly of men is, death will call one day.
We will be the witness to life. Remembering old faces, old words and the good days. Life is lessons. Some lessons written deep and hard into our mind and heart.
I am sixty-two years old and I have learned.
Pay attention to your family and your friends. Lead with concern, kindness and love. The world…

Lady of the lakes…
Lady of the lake
——————————————————————————————-
We loved the weeping willows trees by the lake, we loved the month of July and August. Once I wanted death and my lady of the lake, whispered a sweet song to me.
“Do words matter?
What are we? Maybe we are just, here for a second, maybe we are just dancers upon the wind, waiting for a reason to be alive. Dear Poet, dance with me near the weeping willow tree, Lets, become like the free and wild dandelions, reaching for the sky, fearless and strong.”
I brought the Lady of the lake near and I whispered. Please Lady of the lake, love me today, love me tomorrow, love me forever, with you near. I want to live forever in your arms.

Value of Knowledge
The true potential of knowledge is unleashed when it leaves the boundaries of limitations to the world of unknown

Blind to ourselves
Many of us do not even notice
When our behavior
Through words, gestures and deeds
Hurt the feelings of others
In such a way we are blind to ourselves…

Because we all live in the same boat
We all feel pain
Laugh or cry
Are serious or joyful
Are fearful or courageous
Are strong or weak
Are normal citizens of the world
Skin color does not change laughter
Religion does not change crying
Feelings are not state bound
For we are what we are
People of the same color
Who understands this
Overcomes racism
Nationality, skin color
Different creeds
Because we all live in the same boat…

So I Stood Still – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon
“Who runs in circles never gets far.” Thornton Burgess
So I Stood Still The air was so faded, absent, but I ran and ran in tired circles, even then the kite had no life in it and would not rise upwards, it wasn't heavy, in fact quite light, but it would not stir its papered joy for a mere frivol, a sacrifice of delight, and remained firmly rooted to the ground so I stood still until the the air moved the kite and my heart sang.
