Pandora’s Box Blues Chaser

Pandora’s Box Blues Chaser

Old buckets of engine grease,

mouse droppings, shredded books

are swept up and tossed away

along with seven years rough roads

and some of the most turbulent seas

of small business woes

boxed, packed away amongst

dishes, books, coffee cups

with sincere hopes of

pandora’s box of shitty luck

be gone! no more!

next time you come knockin

peekin round our doors

there will be a deaf ear turned

almost guaranteed to your

all too familiar rappin and tappin

of bad luck blues  

upon our door.

Haiku For Breakfast

Haiku for breakfast

Steaming hot haiku

your words before me are spread

butter melting on

my first slice of warm baked bread

haunts me of his last moist kiss.

Stone Cold Train Wreck

Stone Cold Train Wreck

In what seemed like a

lightning bolt that flashed quicker

then the speed of light

with the startling discovery

of what you made

a deliberate choice to do

which pierced her to the core

yet you seem amazed

even arrogantly shocked

foolishly assuming

she was made of stone

but even stone can crack

if the conditions are right

and from every concrete slab

of internal thought

you obviously never

even minutely considered this

so guess what?

those are just the

hard facts, stone cold

of love and broken hearts

for you have become

someone who derailed yourself

out of her train of thought

she is now chugging forward

all engines thrusting

full steam ahead

in search of another

passenger of passionate

interest to sit by her

on the rebound train ride

who isn’t anything

remotely close

to the likes of you

ever, ever again.

Your Moment In The Sun...

“Your moment in the sun”

---©g.a.meeder,2013®

 Sparkle, razzle, dazzle & shine when it is your time & when you find your moment in the sun, just remember all the bright & shiny stars that lighted your paths & be grateful for them, the black holes you fell into but spun back out of, forgive yourself & others & learn from those choices that dragged you into those black holes & forgive the people who aided & abetted w/kicking you in there because they have to live w/ themselves, you will need to shine brighter in order to truly feel the warmth of your moment in the sun. 

So, don't give them the satisfaction of stealing a moment of your sunshine. ---©g.a.meeder,2013®

Spring Fashion Show

white diamond studded blossoms

sparkle their budding presence

bursting against

“I miss my baby blues” skies

with leaves of spring’s promise

as she unfolds her beauty

right before our

love of color

hungry eyes.

Satisfying us with sweet reprieve

winter has finally

released us of her

incredible infinite grasp…

Life's Hard Luck lesson Plan

a view from the bus

Life’s Hard Luck Lesson Plan…

People walk by me every day

some sneer and complain

“He brought this all on himself”

in their politically self-righteous,

judgmental tone

while others politely smirk

“Thank God, that’s him, not me.”

continuing on their way to work

sipping their latte’s,

fancy mochas

and freshly brewed coffees

puffing on cigarettes

exchanging small talk

unaffected by the fact

that I once taught

took pride in that fact

I knew all my students

by their first names

now I only see their faces

in the people who in turn

look down upon me

with pained expressions

never knowing what quite to say

to the old man surrounded by bags

on the park bench today

but I’ll continue to remind them

surrounded by the only evidence

i exist, therefore I am

just like you,

this wasn’t my life lesson plan

i too had dreams, loved hard,

often and well

played frequent, took risks

but fell harder then ever

and it hurt like hell.

Now I’ve fallen off the radar,

choosing to snuff out

all the bright lights

but I shall remain vigilant

to the bitter end teaching you

another cold, hard fact of life.

Sadie...

Sadie…

    Sadie, lays crouched in a steaming puddle of golden piss

    grumbles, mumbles which turns to cursing out loud,

    white mists rising with every  bitch, swear and cuss

    from weather chapped, bleeding cuts on her pale lips

    nostrils flare in and out as she screams and shouts

    no way, no how, did I sign up for this!

    to people who walk right by her in her puddle of piss

    whom could care less about her that honestly believe

    she got herself into this homeless mess

    let her crawl out of it, all on her own

    they want no part of the seeds she has sown

    they fear what she is living like is somehow contagious

    a shiver from the bitter wind runs from head to toe

    her frail body trembles, shakes and shivers worse

    then from any lover she has ever known

    weather has now become her greatest foe

    using the sleeve of her tattered, black & white,

   

    checkered tweed second hand coat

    she wipes her incessant faucet dripping nose

    rolls herself up beside the buildings

    pulling in the mess of crumpled up newspapers

    closer to her in a vain attempt to block out

    any more of the cold winter winds that will blow

    burrowing up in between an overflowing dumpster

    and three battered, lidless trash cans

    in the alley she now calls home. ---©g.a.meeder, 2013®
