My daughter’s dream

May 9, 2021May 9, 2021 phillister2 Comments

My little girl

4 years is she

Wants to be an astronaught

Would make her happy

I thought to say no

But what do I know?

One day it’s possible

How can we know?

Maybe for now

It is just a dream

I will not take it away

Pull at its seams

Such beautiful innocence

I wait for the next

My daughter’s dreams

They are the best

New work

If you only had a day

April 8, 2021April 8, 2021 phillisterLeave a comment

If you only had a day

To live on this earth

I would cherish every moment

For all it is worth

24 hours

That’s all the time left

It’s counting down so fast

Ordered behest

I can’t waste a minute

What do you want to do?

I will do anything

My true love for you

Should we make love?

Hold each other tight?

Never let go?

Glued with all our might

Why should I have to let go?

My selfishness powers through

I can not give up

My love forever true

Now the tears are coming

A breathing waterfall

I cannot stop myself

Cannot stop at all

Why has it got to be like this?

I am so distraught

It could of been so different

If only you had fought

Don’t you love me?

How could you give up?

Is our love not good enough?

Was it just too much?

Now it eats your body

Nothing but a shell

Watching you in agony

Your pain cannot be quelled

I’m sorry that’s unfair

What have I become?

But when I will lose you

My life will come undone

Please don’t go

Beep… beep… beep………………

Goodbye my darling

You can go to sleep

Searching for you

Is this love?

April 7, 2021April 7, 2021 phillisterLeave a comment

Perfection may never come

Maybe it does not exist

The most important thing in love

Is knowing love exists

Pass time together

No matter what you do

Talk often and listen too

Let the warmth shine through

Watch the sunset

Feel the rays warm your skin

Take a deep breath

Let that oxygen in

Picnic in the park

Glass of wine a treat

Look into her eyes

Like the first ever meet

A stroll in the park

Hand in hand sheer bliss

Hours pass by walking

Finished by a single kiss

Let your heart take flight

Forget insecurities passed

Embrace that chance given

And know it will be the last

It started with a cough

April 5, 2021April 5, 2021 phillister5 Comments

He started his day

As he always would

He laced his shoes

And ran through the woods

He listened to music

And felt the breeze

Passing through

The towering trees

On returning home

He panted much

He couldn’t understand

Why it hurt so much?

He thought nothing of it

And shrugged it off

He ran a bath

And washed the sweat off

Kissing his wife

Then his two kids

Not to wake them

God forbid

Ready for work

He got in the car

He coughed hard

And saw stars

He arrived at work

Feeling weird

Dazed and tired

He started to fear

He collapsed on the floor

The others came

Call an ambulance

He is in pain

The ambulance arrived

In their gear

Spaceman suits

Ordering people clear

Took away

Everybody out

Cordoned off

People shout

To the hospital

This poor guy

Can hardly breathe

He can only lie

Put in a bed

Examined, scared

No one close

To love or care

Feeling weak

He can hardly move

Crying now

What can he do?

Put on oxygen

Case getting worse

Family told

They have been cursed

He slips away

To a final sleep

Forgetting family

As they weep

Searching for you

I missed you

April 5, 2021April 5, 2021 phillister2 Comments

I missed you while you were away

I’m waiting to see you today

I’m looking forward to hugging you

Because 3 days really hasn’t flew

It’s been quiet here, alone in bed

Quiet each time I lie down my head

Coffee for one each morning just for me

No extra spoon of coffee, not to be.

It won’t be long, you’ll be here soon

I’m at the door, my heart going BOOM!

Searching for you

That first love…maybe

April 4, 2021April 4, 2021 phillisterLeave a comment

That first time when you’re young and you see a girl

Her beauty overwhelms you, and it hurts like hell

She’s so beautiful in your eyes

You steal glances, you’re magnetized

Wait till she’s not looking, looking away now

That innocent smile, oh my God, wow!

Do you dare talk to her? What do you say?

Go on, take your chance, maybe today?

He he hello how are you is what you could say?

But how would she react, would she stay?

Your eternal shyness is getting to you

Come on, just once, try and follow through

That first magical love could be right now

If you don’t try once, you’ll never know how.

Goodbye my father

March 22, 2021March 22, 2021 phillister2 Comments

Goodbye my father

I got a call, I remember, I thought it was a stroke

I left that day, to the hospital, my heart broke

I arrived there to see you there lying still

I hoped it untrue, it was my only will

Then I was there, at your side hoping you might wake

“Oh god, wake up, please, for goodness sake”

Suddenly you sat up and you looked to me

“Who are you?” that feeling still sickens me

Then you laid back down, back into a sleep

We were shocked, we started to weep

Time passed by, agonizingly slow

Just waiting, waiting for time to go

I knew, what was coming, to me it was clear

Your heart, your soul, about to disappear

The final moments came, you left us for good

My father, I love you and I always would.

The immigrant

5. For my son

March 16, 2021March 16, 2021 phillister1 Comment

Sometimes I wish i could continue walking for an eternity

Searching forever for light

But knowing even if I crossed chasms

Seas and mountains

To the furthest reach of the world

I would never again find light

Because light has left me

And darkness will surround me

Forever

My son

I have only a photo

And the memories in my mind

If I was to ever lose them

Every time I close my eyes

I see him playing with his marbles

Eating his favourite food

Kissing his mother

Itching his arm when he wanted something

I still remember his voice

His sweet voice

His laugh when I told him a joke

I even miss seeing how he cried

When we comforted him

My god, you will decide for me

When it will be time

When I can hold my son’s hand again

I remember seeing those bastards

How they laughed

Down by the river bank

Pissing in the water

I took a discarded rifle

And I took aim

There were three of them

I could feel the air

Whistling ever so softly

I laid down on my chest

Out of their view

But close enough

I positioned myself

My breath faint

My eyes dry from the tears

I will make you suffer you fucks

And it won’t be quick

I had lost my family

My son

My reason to live

I focused on the one with his gun

For my family you fuck

Bang
