Destiny

Destiny
Do you know where you are going to
Listen to your heart it will lead you through
Deep inside there is a queen
A beautiful woman that is unseen
Living a life that is full of pain
Your eyes are full of tears and strain
Dry your eyes be of good cheer
Your time is coming and it is near
You are a warrior full of courage
Life is not fair, so dont get discouraged
Love and happiness are cherished within
Your guardian angel is your friend
Wisdom, love, and happiness is all you need
Take these tokens as a seed

O

 

 

this afternoon

 

my mouth formed its O

at the end of saying,

 

to my fine friend,

a friendly hello …

 

twice today

my face O’d …

 

the first was

this morning,

 

when I begged

for the loan

 

of his commode.

Jesuit McNitt

the carpenter,

a prominent Jesuit

 

by name of Tom McNitt,

 

did his requisite

quite handy bit,

 

most anyone would admit:

 

he worked at that damn kitchen

sink too long and hard,

 

then made the counterfeit

lost cheer

so sweet she was,

the little girl

with golden curl—

 

and fidgin fain

 

on divinin’ soon,

on that very day,

a bit of sunny play …

 

she shortly lost

 

her cheer,

I fear, 

on account

 

of dogged rain

cat cow hog fish

hey piddle piddle,

the cat played her fiddle

 

while the cow leapt

onto the boom …

 

the little hog laughed

to see such daft—

 

while the fish made off

with Britt Hume

can't or won't

 

I write for fun

and to

 

entertain …

 

further’n that I can’t—

or won’t—

 

explain …

 

though I do

acknowledge that

 

in the main

 

because of such

I am quite much …

 

apt to bypass

c’mercial publishers’

 

eminent domain

Louis Spicolli - UPDATED

Louie Spicolli
left the ring far too early
when his mother went sick
and his coping had stopped.
A babyface jobber
for most of his life,
a babyface heel,
who dated Madonna
under a mask.
It happened in Lubbock
before I was born
when Mike Dibiase
collapsed in a heap
with Man Mountain Mike.
Maybe we forgot
Alberto and Ox
with all of the glitz.
It’s Kayfabe, they said.
It’s the same scenery
with different names,
but Louie won’t be
on Nitro tonight.
What’s going on in Texas
with Fritz’s children?

Desert Night


I dreamed of making love to,
 
two maidens under a desert sky.
 
One was name death, the other life.
 
Both melted into my pores, as we made love.
 
Alpha and Omega, creating a universe in the sand.
 
Ribbons of onyx and umber burst forth from our joining.

wander

walking, waliking

under the tenderness of the moon

staring, smiling

at the stars not at gloom

crying, asking

"why do i have to leave so soon?"
