Night Kiss – A Haiku
Pause. Stay close to me.
In the still of the night, I
Want to kiss your lips.

Shifting Sands
2014 Albert Moyer, Jr.
For the sands are shifting
In an incomprehensible way.
Our moral fabric stripped away.
People talk, walk, and wonder,
” Why are people suffering?”
They cry in agony from the pain.
Their salaries are low,
And the violence is high.
Yet they fail to look up,
And humble themselves to the most high.
For the reprobate mind,
Their eyes are blind.
For they will never see the signs.
They run crazy like ants,
From a mound that has been kicked,
Listening to false prophets,
Only to be tricked.
For their pain is real,
It cannot be denied.
Yet it could all change,
If they ask the Lord,
To be on their side.
Vanity
In her 20’s she was quite the flame
Her black book had many men’s names
She ate the finest food and caviar
And traveled to lands very far
She tossed her friends about like dirty laundry
And many left because they didn’t think it was funny
But one day all things started to change
She realized she was 40 and had no game.
Now as time passed her value declined
Because she had no more looks
And not much in her mind
Love she wanted so desperately
But it was killed by her vanity

Frenemies
A party is available. They are sure to come.
They want what you have, but share with no one.
They want your ear, as if you’re Dr. Phil,
Yet they will not help you, even if you are ill.
Their time bank is full, so full of themselves,
That when you ask for a little, you get shelved.
They smile and say, ” How wonderful you are.”
Yet privately describe you, as if you are tar.
They do their best to zap the good from you,
And leave your feeling, as if you have the flu.
You need their help, but when the time comes,
They leave you dry, so they can have fun.
When you confront them about how you feel,
These people will scream, ” No big deal. “
So when they fail to listen, it is time to break.
There is no need for toxic relations for heaven’s sake.

I Wonder
Sometimes I wonder,
Where you are?
Sometimes I remember,
How you felt.
Sometimes I long,
To kiss you again.
Sometimes I see you,
In my dreams.
Sometimes I ask myself,
Why did we part?
Sometimes I think,
Will our paths cross again?
Sometimes the mind wanders,
And while it wanders,
I wonder.
