Fire

Long after the fire
The embers are too hot to touch

My Dream

No money
No war
No hatred
No more
No color or creed
No taking
No greed
No left and no right
No reason to fight

Just love

Was thinking that we will never be truly civilized until we embrace love. The Beatles had it right

Fleeting

I'm living on a Bubble

Floating, flying free

Each wind I change direction

High above the sea

Colors burst around me

Just rainbows you'll agree

Loving my existence

Fleeting

as it may be

The older I get the faster time flies. Trying to pack in as much happiness as I can

Epiphany

The entire universe is a fantasy

Except for

Is real

Never write poetry after 8 beers

Michael Murphy Nov 2023

Writers Block

It's Blank

                   My heart

It's Blank

                   My mind

It's Blank

                       My words

It's Blank

                                         The canvas of my life

Sorry!

It Was Me

If ever there was a man
Who sought to understand

The trouble in your heart

It was me

To apply a healing touch
To comfort and as such

To curb the flood of tears

It was me

Now the time I fear has come
My work complete, must run

Just remember as you smile

It was me

I have been the turnkey in many a life, with no regrets

Snapshot

There was a moment
There was a time
You in my arms
Your heart beat with mine

I thought that I knew
I thought you were mine
I thought it was true
But only to find

It was only a moment
A snapshot in time
I look to that moment
To see I was blind

What you believe to be true might only be true in that moment
