Gentle breezes blow

As the darkness hugs us all

As the day falls down

Moonlit sky above it all

Whispers of the night so tall

Bamm-Bamm: Artwork & Poem

Bamm Bamm with his strength untold,
From the Flintstones, a heart of gold.
With a club in hand, and a joyful shout,
He’s always ready to help out.

A child of stone, so mighty and tough,
But deep down inside, he’s gentle enough.
With Pebbles, his love is clear to see,
A friendship that’s as strong as can be.

M.A.D.

Gumball Machine

Oh, gumball machine,
Colors bright, pure delight.
Twist, clink, candy land,
Children’s smiles at your command.

Colors of you

Within you, a vibrant hue,
Each color whispers a tale true.
A dash of red, bold and fierce,
With passion burning, never to pierce.
Blue like the sea, calm and deep,
Hiding emotions, secrets they keep.
Yellow shines, a ray of cheer,
Spreading warmth, dispelling fear.
Green like the earth, ever serene,
Nurturing life, a tranquil scene.
In every soul, this vibrant blend,
A rainbow of colors, without end.

-M.A.D.

People lean on me

Their burdens become my own

Being needed, love,

is all I have ever known

Yet somehow I do not mind…

Broken Promises 

Hopes dashed against the harsh rocks

Disappointment reigns

None of our horses came in

Life can be a cruel mistress…

In the water’s embrace

Effortless strokes propel forth

Swimmers find their peace

Singular motions move them 

Swiftly through the cool water…

BOTHER

NUISANCE

Bothered by the infest of thoughts

A nuisance that never seems to fade

Chasing peace, but it cannot be caught

These worries, in my mind, have made a trade

He was going to build a plane

To leave this planet and head to Pluto

A daring journey, he was determined to go

In graceful motion

Bodies twist and soar through air

Gymnasts defy bounds

All contorting as they move 

In a synchronized ballet…

Tranquil state of mind

Enveloping me in peace…

Cute Olaf

In the land of snow and frost,
Olaf the snowman is never lost.
With his bright smile and carrot nose,
Through icy hills and frozen throes.

He loves warm hugs and sunny days,
But never melts in the sun’s rays.
Olaf’s heart is big and true,
Bringing laughter to me and you.

-M.A.D.

Poetry

Frustrate

Words unspoken,
Emotions buried deep,
Frustration simmers.
With you, I feel lost.
Communication fails,
Broken promises hurt.

Yearning for Purpose

Yearning for purpose

To be relied upon brings

Fulfillment and joy

And all of its pressures too

I’m caught in its paradox…
