Poetry by Tim WindischUghUgh Galloping madly across the devils playground Swooshing down the slide deep into the ground Down where the fires burn both night and day A reversal of fortune because you’ll never play All of the glitter that made me dream of this place Horrific images replayed daily I wish I could erase I’m enslaved by the dream that one day all will be well Till then I’m trapped in this prison living alone in hell Tim Windisch 10/25/202 2022-10-2601 min

Poetry by Tim WindischA Heart AgesA heart ages Who do I turn to, and what would I say? This is best kept inside Might be broke but I got pride See what can happen when your heart’s in play?

Poetry by Tim WindischGetting closer to homeGetting closer to home I finally set sail, I hit the cruise And I’m through singing the blues No more wandering, no time to roam Baby you know I’m getting closer to home Broke down the walls, I put out the fires Fed up with the promises peddled by liars Washed out of my hair, untangled with a comb Letting it fly in the breeze as I’m getting closer to home Too many days spent pulling at it and screa...2022-09-2601 min

Poetry by Tim WindischFall thoughtsFall thoughts Starting to take a little longer for the lights to come on Songbirds are saying soon the flowers will be gone Time to fly to a warmer spot and count the days until spring Had a great time again and when I see you next year I’ll sing I’m getting colder as the sun sets, I know that bird tells true Soon the pretty landscape will no longer grace my view Leaves drop, nuts and petals and the squirrels hustle to bury...2022-09-1701 min

Poetry by Tim WindischI’m almost thereI’m almost there Been a little more more than crazy, been doing my best trying to hide A once clear window looks so hazy, is that spot on the out or the inside The view can be altered depending, it’s only a question of mood Are my spirits rising or descending, pays to have the proper attitude She said I know I’m speaking in circles but I’m shooting you straight The time to love is now, it’s our future, honey I swear it’s not t...2022-09-1302 min

Poetry by Tim WindischSome daysSome days Some days are diamonds, while some are dogs Some have it all in alignment, some lack a few cogs Just when you get to the denouement, you find yourself alone But you’ve done nothing wrong you say, she won’t answer the phone A passion play without compassion, a love story for one Life’s catwalk in my latest fashion, another heartache begun But the wrinkle in this romantic mystery, story plays in continual loop Promised love will prevail throughout history...2022-09-1102 min

Poetry by Tim WindischStressStress Strutting along with a whistle, stubbed my brain on a thistle one that I thought I weeded Aimed to get to the lodge, get myself the hell out of dodge and I thought that I succeeded Yet it turns out I’m weighed down by bags, my mind constantly drags brings out another mess Lost and I’m spilling out pain while I’m just trying to contain the never-ending mind-numbing stress Check your ego near the door, don’t drag your dirty feet on my floor, we want to...2022-05-1301 min

Poetry by Tim WindischEtched upon my mindEtched upon my mind I go to lay my head on my pillow at night A glance to my side and everything is alright There’s a glow inside, makes everything better than it seems I’m a lucky man who falls asleep with the woman of his dreams You needn’t ask me who I’ve dreamt about It’s not too hard cause baby there isn’t a doubt I could close my eyes, check what I’d sketch you would find A perfect po...2022-05-1301 min

Poetry by Tim WindischWhispering your nameWhispering your name Long before you were part of my yesterdays, I would close my eyes And picture tomorrows where the sun shines lying under cloudless skies Then a voice called out and shook me from my slumber saying I feel the same Like a fairy tale story, ever since that night I go to sleep whispering her name Wounds of times that we pray to God never have a chance to return Healed by the magic salve of our love, your touch can heal my burn 2022-05-0401 min

Poetry by Tim WindischI love my babyI love my baby The clock’s too slow But it’s time to go Yet for some damn reason I still must wait another hour The day has been long I need a fresh bong And a minute to chill before I go stand underneath a hot shower My baby’s waiting My teeth are grating Nerves are frayed, I would just leave if I had a choice Soon things will slow down Always have my baby a...2022-04-2700 min

Poetry by Tim WindischPoliticking time bombPoliticking time bomb Donny says there’s fraud everywhere, keep those frivolous lawsuits and slanted investigations going But then just like everything else he says, falsities and flat-out lies spoken by a blowhard not knowing Believed by the true Americans, not the phony RINO’s; collaborated by some spineless Republican nom As long as the MAGA man gives a nod, everybody take cover here comes another politicking time bomb Coasted in on the red carpet of work by a man who really did make America great again, and shit all o...2022-04-2701 min

Poetry by Tim WindischChristina knowsChristina knows You remember the tale of the beauty lost in a time of indecision? Stymied by love that multiplied yet somehow got lost in bad division But the woe didn’t last too long, then friends, what do you suppose? After another petal fell from her rose, now finally Christina knows Not going to be made to sit in the dark for the rest of her days Marriage blotted out the sun, bad relationships added to the haze But love when it’s real make...2022-04-1901 min

Poetry by Tim WindischEarth day 22Earth day 22 52 years ago, a junior senator from Wisconsin saw an oil spill Standing on the shores of Santa Barbara watching oil covered birds Flew home thinking there’s a job to do and I won’t rest until We find a way to fix the problem, we need action more than words He stood up tall and said “There’s no issue more critical to mankind than the quality of the environment in which we live” Keeping our earth healthy was forever on his mind 2022-04-1601 min

Poetry by Tim WindischForever Hello’sForever Hello’s Come a little closer, please sit down let me tell my tale A story of success when it seemed like it would fail First glance two lovers saw tomorrow in their eyes No matter how many hurdles overcame goodbyes Swapped for forever hello’s Easy was never even something in the discussion The rhythm of love backed by our heartbeat's percussion Days she couldn’t seem to start, just wanted to end Gone from the day her lover became...2022-04-1601 min

Poetry by Tim WindischSnapshot of a dreamSnapshot of a dream The sun is shining bright, breeze is light, not even a cloud in the sky It’s a day for one man to be treated like a king and it turns out I’m the guy You might think I’m just crazy and imagining things, but as silly as it might seem Since the day you walked into my life, it’s all become just a snapshot of a dream I open my eyes in the middle of the night, what a glorious sight lying ne...2022-04-1301 min

Poetry by Tim WindischHang TightHang tight Just when it seemed to be giving my life a happiness injection My inner compass went black, and I lost any sense of connection Tears and curling in a ball, this time everything seemed like it was right Till my insides came crashing down, don’t panic I got to just hang tight Too many fires to keep them contained and under control Embers flying in every direction, burning through to my soul Well, they can knock me down but I’m getting back...2022-04-0901 min

Poetry by Tim WindischHugHug I got something to say, you know I think I really must I want an untimed, untamed, full body hug that can just Take back my regrets, melt down those miles and years, The friction can fuse my blues and wrap up the laughter and tears, And it feels like something that for so long, you wanted, but could not put your finger on Like when you cannot clear your head of a song Yes, that first kiss, how that taste can...2022-04-0901 min

Poetry by Tim WindischSail across the swampSail across the swamp Too many bridges to nowhere, ending halfway over the river Too many memories of nights taking their toll on my liver No more time to wander, no time for another thoughtless romp This time the animals will be seated in my ark as I sail across the swamp! How did yesterday mange to convince tomorrow I really didn’t need it anyway? Those foolish thoughts and misspent years packed their things and went away I am so much bigger than that no...2022-04-0801 min

Poetry by Tim WindischSizzleSizzle Fire up the stove, throw the pan on for some eggs Grab a cup of coffee, pull a pair of shorts over my legs I look outside, clouds overhead and it’s starting to drizzle All I can hear is the butter hit the pan as it starts to sizzle You called my name before, but then you hesitated Got stuck on yesterdays that you never quite masticated Too many times felt the same rush only to have it fizzle Called back ca...2022-04-0101 min

Poetry by Tim WindischShe's back in my heartShe's back in my heart Follow your horoscope, plan a day when the stars align Hold hands in a séance with high spirits mysteriously flyin’ Chart all you like but I’m telling you it’s something you cannot control Plan your love with care, but it’s not how you reach your ultimate goal You can’t force the square peg, or make me see forever in a Rorschach test The only sure way is to forget all of that and follow your heart, it knows best 2022-03-2903 min

Poetry by Tim WindischHe's forgotten howHe’s forgotten how COVID numbers are dropping, still can only afford window shopping Soviet invasion, high price of oil ever topping, Trump’s praise for Putin still ain’t stopping Temperatures rise and mother earth feels the burn, US financial sector continues to churn But her peoples’ melted dreams are getting lost, infrastructure's failing but none will foot the cost Point your fingers at the left and pine for those days, money mongers rolling fat joints made of illegal ways To hide your profits in your pockets, give a wink to Uncle Sam, Papa Donnie’s got your back if you pe...2022-03-2305 min

Poetry by Tim WindischHumpty took a tumbleHumpty took a tumble Rosie sat with Humpty the egg-shaped man, she really loved to hear him talk Marveled how he would say things, smiled when he asked her to go for a walk Walked around the lake, climbed the hills, soaking sun sitting on a bluff's ledge She left for a minute that turned into months, poor Humpty he rolled off the edge Oh! No, this ain’t the way things were s’posed to end She said she really wants to try and fix things agai...2022-03-2003 min

Poetry by Tim WindischFreeFree Pages have turned, bridges have burned, still no lesson has been learned You wrestle the thought, were free and got caught, nothing was sold but you bought The same old story once again Tired of making the scene, feeling like it’s time to come clean, still you’re peeling out the green Plowing ahead full steam, chasing your imaginary dream, oblivious nothing’s as it seems So you run crying to your friend How many times can you sit on a tack Unti...2022-03-1601 min

Poetry by Tim WindischI bet they would careI bet they would care There are days I wake in pain stiff and sore, but these days I don’t say a word Too many people are suffering with bigger problems, things seem so absurd Teardrops are falling like a steady rain from every corner of the earth Lost lives, lost homes, paid to keep peace where NATO says it’s worth Giving more than a crate of rifles, their best wishes and a slap on the back This war is bigger than Ukraine there’s a geno...2022-03-1602 min

Poetry by Tim WindischQuit telling me liesQuit telling me lies So long since you were here with me “It wasn’t me, but some wild conspiracy” Thought you’d learned from your failed tries Not buying anymore, so quit telling me lies Trust me, it’s going to roll better this time I hit the brakes, baby I stop it on a dime Dog shit hit with a mower, stench really flies Plug my nose and move on, quit telling me lies Things were going to be so sweet 2022-03-1601 min

Poetry by Tim WindischUntil you came alongUntil you came along Despite the prior ones that I lusted There were just a few women I trusted Somehow it seemed I always got it wrong Can’t recall this much sunshine until you came along Days that made this man bite his lip and curse the sky The times where repeated failures cause you to question why Head ringing like being in a belltower and my head is the gong Good vibrations developed that weren’t there until you came along 2022-03-1301 min

Poetry by Tim WindischSunshineSunshine Good morning Mr. Sunshine, I’m not trying to be cold It’s just I had a little something that I hadn’t finished yet If you could spare me a few minutes, I’d be forever in your debt Let me drift back into dreamland, before the trail goes cold She was a beauty to behold, her smile just lit up my night No one seemed to notice, and I know we didn’t really care Like we were floating on a cloud, and nobody...2022-03-1302 min

Poetry by Tim WindischRunRun I know in my mind, right from the start, she isn’t that kind, she’ll break my heart Starts with the tears, games that we play, my darkest fears, anything to make her stay Addicted to how it feels, fix a broken smile, yet mine conceals, my friends knew all the while She’s no good for me, I’m not making things better, anyone can see, taking my soul and I let her Don’t even think about walking boy, run! Just her wind up little...2022-03-1303 min

Poetry by Tim WindischRaw red rhubarb stalksRaw red rhubarb stalks It was either in a text or maybe one of our phone talks She said, you ever do online dating? I learned a thing or two Then she began to talk about eating raw red rhubarb stalks She said, you know if nothing clicks, it can be really awkward too Cause you can’t make me hear the words that shouldn’t exist Do you think your words create an autonomous amorous reaction? There’s no way you can possibly feel the ma...2022-03-1301 min
