Aaron Sorkin by Summer Breeze

by

the final rub is always here
to stay and witness the jackals emplode
or leave
before the towers topple
“the phalic Washington monument
fits nicely on it’s side
inside the gigantic cathedral”
where is Aaron Sorkin the brilliant
writer of our dreams
of a compassionate West Wing
the logical
ethical
my jake grows weary
of arrows pinging
from other men’s insecurities
seeing their own reflection
there is shelter from the storm
‘they’ get their fry day
we have our mon day
mon o mon
give jake back to jake
and to us

Death Relieved Poem by Rachael Gleeson

by

For S.P:

Death, tears, honour, pain
Throwing, hurting, beating heart, breaking heart
Shows me why, why
She wanted to relieve
Relieve her pain, her suffering
Psychological pain, ache
Beating down, pouring down,
Cannot think
I cannot say I know how she
Feels I want to understand
To have felt her pain, to feel her pain.
The extremity of hurt,
No human should exceed,
I want to help, it”s too late,
Long before my time, she went
She left, she thought,
She pushed down the barrier,
She got through the barrier.

One Loyalty Poem — Maybe More
___________________________________

Loyalty: by Rachael Gleeson

Sat.
My eye line deterred
from the material
yet my mind still drawn
to be there the want
to lie, to do, to wait
and see what lies ahead
what happens, the return
owed to me, the whisper
and secrets, the discretion
and hurt,
no, I just want
to break.

Loyalty by David Michael Jackson

Loyalty means little without love
Loyalty always requires
review
unfortunantly sometimes
for
loyalty.
Loyalty is the ring on the finger
it is the vow,
it
is never
it is never
ever free
without
love.

45 and Alive Poem by Andy Derryberry

by

45 and alive
45 and alive
too young to stop
too old to worry

45 and alive
can still be angry
just not all the time

45 and alive
got places to go
know where I”ve been

45 and alive
still finding who I am
know a lot about me

45 and alive
can do a lot
have done a lot

45 and alive
know happy and sad
had plenty of both

45 and alive
like to compete
in competition with none

45 and alive
miss the yesterdays
can”t wait for tomorrows
