Quarantine


Quarantine like a Benedictine.
There’s plenty of time,
For wondering what could have bēēn.

Coronavision in the dark,
Zoom screens. Little screams from the start.
I’d hate to be seventeen.
Give me caffeine and amphetamine,
Get me out of this in-between.

Now I am so lost, from me.
always had a need to be alone, for me.
What is the cost, to me.
Who are the ones who have condone, for me.
Isolation from one another, you see.
Now it’s all too much, to me
and for everyone else.

Looking forward to the deliveryman to Intervene,
Its another person acknowledging me.
How They’re getting us out of this pandemic scene; its so Byzantine!
When will it end; we all need our friends.
Forgotten all about hygiene, sleepin’ in my jeans.

One day is like another.
She can’t even visit her mother.
Just read another magazine.
Magdeline puts on her Maybelline to go nowhere.
Christine discovers new reasons to care.
The heretics still doing the Tridentine.
The Alt-right are toting the opposing line.

Now I am so lost, from me.
always had a need to be alone, for me.
What is the cost, to me.
Who are the ones who have condone, for me.
Isolation from one another, you see.
Now it’s all too much, to me
and for everyone else.

Travelling to the store is fearful to the core
Few are wearing masks, it isn’t a difficult task.
Quarantine like a Benedictine.
There’s plenty of time,
For wondering what could have been.

Clean are they all, those Florentines.
Brazil is returning to be a thrill.
Not so united but with new leadership
The act is coming together in the States.
Saved by Sacred Lips has got to be our fates.

Now I am so lost, from me.
always had a need to be alone, for me.
What is the cost, to me.
Who are the ones who have condone, for me.
Isolation from one another, you see.

Now it’s all too much, to me
and for everyone else.
It’s like fire and kerosene.
Hope there’s never again
A Quarantine!

Is There Nothing More?

Dinner is on the wall Children crying, infant screaming Fear freezes her when he calls Between them there is silence peeling Its the way they only know Its how love they struggle to show He knows nothing more She can’t bear the blood and sores She understands she must flea But how else can she Be? _______________ Copyright © 2020 HeardWords America

His Love for Her

Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say? Who was it that carried me on the bier? Well, will you pray for me? Or can't you wait to see another man, if only you can?  Life with you was never,  the kind I wanted.  You called me "friend" That was after you put an end to our coupling. That was after you had my ring  cut off your finger. I can hear you singing after that. You had your own definition for being a swinger. A woman, free and unattached. Since then we've never been intimate. No matter the many times I had to wait. You would love me  Only by cleaning and laundrying for me. Still you'd never give me a bath. We had a life together you never let last. Don't leave me here!  Don't you leave me here this way!  What will all my friends say?     "She buried him, with his love for her.      She's not so demur."  _________ copyright ©️ 2023 SDKilmer, LLC All Rights Reserved www SDKi

Colours of My Life

Once my life was as bright as the golden sun. During those days, I thought you and I were one. You made me very blue when you told me to leave you. Eventually I became use to it. Until years later, I thought I might have a chance. We became good friends, again. Better than before. I just couldn't leap over your new boundaries that kept us as only friends, nothing more. You possessed a strange manner In relation to your "ex's". Remaining friends with them with whom you arrived at an end? What man can have a former lover as a friend? Suddenly they were wandering around. Fixing things or seeking to be fixed! How does an "ex" trust another "ex"? What man can have a former lover as a friend? That night I must have glowed as light green was my apprehension, fear and terror to loss of you whom apparently were not mine to possess. Turning deep green, my jealousy &  envy; that ran blood red in my annoyance unto rage. Days gone past when Deep
