Janes Poems june 262019

We parted after I'd paid you court
And I entered my lonely transport
so vacant with you not in the seat
At home alone beneath your sheet

As I headed into the dark abyss
I was strengthen by your embrace
I was also strengthen by your kiss 
and the memory of your face. 

I love all things about you

I am your greatest fan

You are far too modest

We need a master plan

To publicize your painting

And your lovely art

Because it really is you

And sets you apart

From the many things that we’ve discussed

I can see you built your life on trust

I can also see that you’ve been dismayed

Yet you do not seem to be afraid

I hope you know you own my soul

And I’m convinced your heart I’ve stole

Last night you showed me you care

I’m BERRY happy that we are a pair.

The Cloud ©2019TonyFallon0703

As I looked up to the mountain
I saw a cloud not seen before
As we sat there at the fountain
I was not lonely anymore

So we stayed and watched that cloud
Until it was gone afar
Still so all alone unbowed
So we bid it au revoir

The wind can blow a cloud away
We have roots so we will not stray
We are like birds of a feather
We will always be together\

Theres one thing I have to say you're consistent
You are rarely in a bad mood and act distant
You are always prepared to have a discussion
Withan Irishman a China man or a Russian

She was coming down the mountan in her little red truck
I'd like to see a picture of thisI guess I'm out of luck

Lost©2019tONYfALLON0705

I'm walking a little slower
There's no more spring in my step
My energy level is lower
I seem to have lost my pep

I'm lacking motivation
Or any great desire
I'm struggling with creation
I can not create satire

I can't create short stories
Long prose or short odes
Or any other categories
Lest my aching head explodes

I feel so isolated
So helpless and unsure
No way motivated
Your love is the only cure

When I am with you I do not lament or fret

And the troubles of the world I quickly forget

When I’m at a low I’m glad that you’re involved

With your wise answers seem to get the problem solved

I hope you’ll forgive me because I never realized

How much to you your privacy is so richly prized

Getting into another culture can be so involved

I love you like no other this will not be dissolved

It must be a busy intersection there within your brain

I wish the world had more like you my lovely sweet Jane

Counting©2019TonyFallon0707

It’s you I’m thinking of

And I can’t go back to sleep

I’ve tried eye exercises

I tried counting sheep

I blew into a paper bag

And what did that produce

A rather raging headache

Sleep it did not induce

It deprived my lungs of oxygen

Filled then with fumes

I could have wound up

In many emergency rooms

There’s a longing in my heart

But I guess it’ll have to keep

It’s 4.30 in the morning

And you’re probably asleep

When the door bell rings

Or the computer pings

God I hope it’s you

I haven’t heard you in a while

And I miss your smile

It must be an hour or two

That’s far too long to sustain

The pangs of lonely pain

Being apart from you.

My heart is bursting with pride

And I have this great feeling inside

To be in the company of such a great gal

I hope some day she’s more than my pal

A poem a day for her that was my promise

I think I can do it I’m no doubting Thomas

#1 Ode to Jane©2019Tony Fallon0723

Oh how long in the wind have I twisted
When I didn't even know you existed
It is like my life is split up in two
Before and after I met up with you
I am so enjoying this second half
I cherish the many moments you laugh
Forever it's only you I will spoil
At my silly antics I hope you'll smile
In my dreams you are enshrouded in mist
As if I am just on your waiting list
You realize some love seeds have been sowed
And I'm telling the world in this short ode
I can't imagine how much I would wail
If our brief romance should suddenly fail
Then my past seems so trivial and trite
Will you one day consider me your Knight?
The warm Hand©2019TonyFallon1014

The warm Hand©2019TonyFallon1014

I want to hold a warm hand
And I want it to be yours
If the holding is unplanned
I will know our love endures

Sometimes a touch can surprise
When it is not expected
With real love in your eyes
The same in mine reflected

So long I've waited for you
But it was worth that long wait
Because your love is so true
As we blend we conjugate

The 73rdAngel ©TonyFallon1015

In a day for all of the angels there's just seventy two
I checked the list over twice that can't really be true
Three special angels are given twenty minutes of each hour
And in those twenty minutes they have angelic power
I checked once more all those seventy two names on the list
I shouted up to heaven “there is someone you have missed”
For there is one human angel residing on our street
The one of a kind angel I had always hoped to meet
People who heard me shouting must have thought I was insane
Because I was shouting up to God "you forgot about Jane"

Confused(C) 2017TonyFallon0623

I woke up and realized this is close to fraud

Will you make it clear to me in the name of God?

You said not to say I love you especially today

But if I said I liked you would that be ok

You said that you are confused and you can’t pretend

But you said you still loved me but only as a friend

I really am confused this I must confess

I think you’d love me more if I say I love you less

On My Own©TonyFallon0622

On My Own©TonyFallon0622

I hope somebody loves you as much as I did

When you blew away like a leaf in the wind

And left me alone not caring if I lived or died

Alone all alone like a small child in the wild

I never will forget when the news arrived

I have to admit I really was surprised

I had to accept my lucky stars were not aligned

Your exit from my mind was badly timed

I though you were going to be my lifetime lover

That we’d be together winter and summer

Thinking of life without you was not within my scope

For days I aimlessly moped as if I was doped

As weeks went by and reality started to penetrate

And I knew there would be no great reunion

Oh how my well planned life started to unravel

I realized forever I’d be all alone on my own

You and me and Jane©2019TonyFallon0619

You and me and Jane©2019TonyFallon0619

I met Jane again on the mountain on a craggy shelf

When you were far over the sea trying to find yourself

You weren’t sure about me and you wanted a pause

And now you realize too late I haven’t many flaws

I was tired ascending and stopped for a bit of a chat

She said she still had feelings for me and that was that

I have known her all my life she is not artificial

And I suddenly realized that you are very fickle

Why I was all on my own Jane was a little curious

Told about your trip she said you were being spurious

You went to the Himalayas to talk about me

With a lonely hermit out of his mind on booze and LSD

You should have known better when they refused to reimburse

Now you have no silver in your pocket or gold in your purse

Like all true believers you thought he was a deep thinker

And you believed all their holy bullshit hook line and sinker

When I asked about her status she said she’d not interfere

She said she’d not date me unless you disappear

With this new information I held my excitement in check

And decided to cancel more than my upward trek

I was new at climbing and she was well mountain trained

My mistakes slowed her down but she never complained

So I have decided on a change and a new direction

Realizing I don’t meet your standard of perfection

I was afraid to voice my opinion and afraid to exhale

I realized there’s a better way to live, right there on the trail

Rossie©2019TonyFallon0617

I’ve been in America now for more than fifty years
Yesterday in front of my computer I shed happy tears
In my head this morning I can still hear the Salthill roar
But I still want to sit there again and cry a little more

At half time Roscommon was acting far from superior
Another day for their loyal fans to once more feel inferior
Even the most loyal thought we had backed a dead horse
But little David beat that brute Goliath and did it with force
How were we to know the dead horse was not yet buried?
And that by full time it would be Galway who would feel harried

Did Cunningham remind them of that glorious game in sixty two?
I though of it often as their confidence grew and grew
This day will be more remembered than the races in Castlebar
Which must have been on many minds passing through Ballygar

This can be a lesson to those you are facing obvious despair
It would have been so easy to fold up beneath the national glare
The constant Heart was there on display no one can deny
Facing other adversity “Remember Salthill” must be the rallying cry

Openness©2019TonyFallon0614

Openness©2019TonyFallon0614

Openness means you are both honest and frank
Prepared to listen to the moderate and the crank
Tolerate the well meaning but loudly outspoken
And give solace to the ones who are heartbroken

One of your important ingredients is imagination
And the willingness to gather vital information
Then post on Face book what you have just found
To show one and all that you are still profound
You don’t get into quarrels with all knowing males
Happy in your knowledge you have the right details

You have already shown interest in culture and art
And even classical music and the top ten chart
For the poor and downtrodden you show passion
Not like the Kardashians and their latest fashion

Sometimes adventures you have to undertake
You don’t have to fight a big lion or a snake
Explaining instead of talking down that makes a friend
That’s another broken fence you do not have to mend

You’ll share freely with others with time you’re not mean
You tend to be outgoing you are not dull or routine
Openness goes hand in hand with your visibility
You may have a little ego but little sign of hostility.

With all your fine qualities I just think you’re divine
And I am just so thrilled that you’re a friend of mine.

Ode to You© 2019TonyFallon0610

Ode to You© 2019TonyFallon0610

To go search for love and happiness most people feel justified

More than half the world is happy yet many others are denied

I’ll not forget the day we met or the days we spent together

My love will last forever because my heart is in your tether

You aroused my idle passions and my heart in delight did soar

The love of Keats for Fanny was minor because I loved you more

*The Blur©2019TonyFallon0609

*The Blur©2019TonyFallon0609

One night I had the weirdest dream
In which there was a woman grand
I was speaking to her 
But I could not see her face

In the corner in a moon beam
She held out her right hand
Her face was still a blur
So close she was in my space

We held each other close
And so tightly embraced
There was hot blood in my veins
And I felt at once so thrilled

I was tingling to my toes
As I held her by the waist
I felt like I was clad in chains
Yet my wishes were fulfilled.

*Within 24 hours I met HER for the first time.

It was weird. We have only one common friend.

Lisa, who is such a special person in my life and of

whom I have written so many poems.

XFriends©2019TonyFallon0608

There was a period in life
When on you I could still depend
Especially if I had strife
And was trying boldly to fend

We were close as peas in a pod
I your ally you my booster
Success we would loudly applaud
And my wife you introduced her

Now you say it's you who loves her
That for myself she does not care
To my wishes you won't defer
And you are having an affair

I valued your advice greatly
And mostly everything you've done
But you have been moody lately
Won't you please put away that gun

Mixed-up© 2019TonyFallon0607

For many months now I have been feeling somewhat up and down
I had in my head many little hammers that were pounding
There's not much anyone can do when your brain has gone to town
The frightful thoughts were erratic often downright confounding

But I persevered persisted and finally over came
The urge to throw in the towel and just lie in bed all day
When I finally admitted there was no one else to blame
Then the only solution was to get back into the fray

My Dreams©2019TonyFallon0605

My Dreams©2019TonyFallon0605

In many of my poems I dream
When I do it happens sparely

It just fits into my theme

I might say it only happens rarely

If it happens it’s in the wee hours

Just before the alarm bells ring

Then when I get into my trousers

I don’t remember a thing
