To play with words Is my delight
To say some things so they come out right.
Words run on and over the page
Like dancers and actors across a stage.
But when it's over and the curtain comes down,
People may stop and laugh or frown.
The thought was there for all to see
And behind the thought, there's someone called me.
"JESUS CRIST"
The coffee sloshes, jag left
but its of no use
consequences are done
soaking through my dress shirt
a dark black on a deeper violet
Before I know it her plastic
container with her salad and
dressing snap hit the wall
tumble in a heap
Dog whines ignoring the
treat
Dog runs when my cup is
hurled at my feet and
shatters...the spoon
goes clattering away
spinning....sounds kind
of neat...
"Gimme ten bucks for lunch
U goddamn asshole!"
When men are on a prowl
they see and find vulnerable women
and
transfix eyes
and
lock smiles
Then they elope
and
the world smiles
So don't look into eyes
of gals and guys
all say you will land up
in a nightmare
one day
some day
if not today
so stare not into my eyes
I shall fly with my best friend
the wind
and
all then will say
''GONE WITH THE WIND...'''
When I was young and was being raised
I showed respect in so many ways.
I grew up in a different world
Where boys were boys and girls were girls
Now it's hard for me to tell
The world I knew has gone to Hell.
Girls want to be boys, boys want to be girls
They where each others clothes
I think it gives them a thrill.
As time goes on and things go wild
The child we had has had a child.
Phantoms pass through my mind
Walking loudly, waving as though I know them
Making sense of them impossible
Though I try
I'm reminded of words out of context
“What light from yonder window breaks?”
“Who goes there?”
Sights and smells, sounds without feeling
Just let me be, I'm sleeping in today
robust flakes are falling
my favorite mug is chipped
like one of my favorite smiles
downtown
A rube alright
but sometimes olden is golden
the softer hues
a trusted source
Dont have to sleep with my
wallet beneath me
when were finished
she doesnt slam the door
on the way out...
I asked that one
ran..swung the door open
stepped down the hall
dragged her back
before the fire door closed
She just laughed..
Adrenalin keeps U young
Im young...dont U want to
I am free to be me cause that's all I can be.
You Live your life each day that goes by.
Never a thought about when you will die.
You think about going to this place and that.
You haven't a clue of whats coming next.
As life goes on and you start to think
where do you go when your life is through.
Nice words
Keep them coming
You have a heart
of a poet's inkling
Speak not of miseries
there are plenty
speak of happiness
as sufferings
are many
Many folks....
they need your positive messages
if any
Love and life are virtues to flow
that none or very few know
all that is....
We should feel happy
with what we have
and
what we don't
forget it.....
Greed is the biggest misery!!!!
by man made
Only
A thousand years ago and more
upon a strange and distant shore
a maiden wept.
She watched and waited long in vain
within her heart a mounting pain,
she seldom slept.
O that my love might come to me
she cried her silent, doleful plea,
a stifled moan.
The sun would rise, the sun would set,
and still the lovers never met,
she stood alone.
I used to sit and wonder
God gave me many gifts.
I never thought power or money
as making his great list.
What I do is put words together.
Not knowing what I'm going to build.
Knowing with the grace of God,
I will make it up that hill.
So if you ever wonder
what gift God gave to you.
Find out what gives you passion.
Then you'll know just what to do.
