tony haynes Poems

Somebody close to you suddenly dies
Then it makes you wonder
Is there a God above our cloudy skies?
Real hell
...

God is in control
And God observes
The will, heart & nerves
He understands in our quest
...

In pain a mighty lion roared
There was a toothpick in his claw

He turned and spied a church mouse
...

Useful it is to love you
So my heart is in the right place
Enamored
Festive
...

Baby if I were a bluebird
Up there perched where eagles flew
Then I would share my nest egg…
...

Pain is spelled P-A-I-N
As it pricks & sticks you find P-I-N, pin
Inside there’s N-I-P to help you
Nip pain in the bud again
...

When famine roams the land
Hate takes hold of man
And life slips out of hand
Through disobeying…
...

Feather lives on the street
It fell off the wing of a bird
Gets dusty but still it can float
Hard habit
...

Fragments of our former selves
Ignore the scattered pieces of our current situation
Gravitating closer to a prior incarnation
However disdainful
...

Falling in love with you
Ain’t always a no-brainer
Love of self is an empty container
Loosely based on a concept called “let it pour”
...
