There once was a ride to the cath lab,
That was far from an idle cab.
Through each red light we flew,
To save a heart, anew,
And this time, I lived - quite the rehab!

Two unknown persons
They began their trek slowly,
Ever so slowly.

Step after step over pebbles,
Foot after foot left sand prints
Reflections in small pools of starfish.

The woman turned and spoke:
“I don't need my eyes now, there's no sound, just the silence."

The beach stretched on and beyond,
The shoreline was never ending.
The man turned and said:
" Are we not drawn onward, two of us, onward towards a new era? "

They continue to walk.
Hope in both hearts.

Extended heart attack,

A sudden, gripping fear;

In the sterile halls so stark,

Where hope is often near.

Hospital was difficult,

Each day a trying test;

With every beep and pulse,

I longed for peace and rest.

Pretty nurses I loved,

Their presence a gentle balm;

In their care, I found solace,

A whispering, healing calm.

Through the trials, I emerged,

With a heart both strong and new;

Grateful for the hands that healed,

And the love that pulled me through.

Anthropomorphic test device to explore
amply, cheaply tricked out
with super tramping,
albeit unsophisticated trappings
strewn ceiling to floor
available for purchase at Dollar store
(actually merchandise
cost more than 100 pennies)
nonetheless unmanned spacecraft made
perfect landing upon alien nation i.e. red
planet's moon Phobos, meanwhile corps
engineers back at the ranch (nondescript
building) hi-fived each other perfect score

A dystopian future, out of this mess,
Not what we want, I must confess.
our future's plan, not by our hand,
Please try your best to understand.

Careerist politicians robbing the poor,
What's their agenda ultimately for.
To line the pocket of a rich mate,
Is their purpose they designate.

We became mere modes of production,
Sees greed win, leads to our destruction.
But over our loss they will not worry,
Replacing us in their progress hurry.

The look of the dress
clean lines.
The feel of the dress
too snug.
The pattern of the dress
busy.
The colour of the dress
bright.
The cut of the pants
flared.
The shape of the pants
hipster.
The fabric of the pants
fake leather.
The sound the pants make when I walk
swish, swish.
The shape of the top
very sixties.
The feel of the top
smooth on the skin.
The fit of the top
too firm for me!
Time for me to remove them all.

Fiery red sunset
filterinng through my eyes.
Feelings on the surface
come as no surprize.

Hope has been renewed
options now arise.
Soon I hope to leave
this place that I despise!

Don't know yet where I'm going,
but it will eventually materialize.
All I have to do is wait,
in time the blessings will combine!

No one left to turn to,
but my heart holds no disguise.
I've given all I've got to give
I hope that time will fly!

Your vision opened star filled skies
when failing daylight closed your eyes
We watched you wade in wonderment
that, could it have been heaven sent
to waken you before the devil's rise

And did you hear an infant's cries
from darkened realms, unrecognized
between some here and lost event?
Your vision opened

Perhaps one day, you'll recognize
should you begin to fantasize
about how here may represent
the mist and starry firmament
Eventually, you'll realize
Your vision opened

The intense longing
Of a dead man
For his beloved

That naked lonely
Beauty

Who haunted
The lofty climbs of Leucadia

As much Afroditi
As Afroditi

Who gazed
On Adonis
With idolatry

In the north I have a friend
His scars are the same as mine
He held my hand once
And helped me through the darkness
So, on days like this
I think of him
And hope he's a little less broken

This year has been good
I've seen more rain than ever before
The land is covered in green
The rivers are flowing and the ponds are full
But how is it that in all this
My heart is desert dry?
