LET IT GO

Life's a calendar, telling lives different
A moment comes when the mind cracks, mental paralysis,
No emotions to feel, just a long road of fear, hate and regrets,
Feelings of emptiness on rampage, anger and sorrow in festivity,
Nothing working out, not a thing to praise,
Nothing to show for, celebrate
Until you let go of the old, nothing new comes

thankless thoughts

I think of you when the sunlight glimmers
and the lake lies still in its warm embrace.
I think of you when the sad sun shimmers,
just before she sets and averts her face.

I think of you when the warm wind’s blowing
its whispered kisses ‘cross the sun-drenched sand.
I think of you when the floodtide’s flowing
up the beach, where we’d wandered, hand in hand.

THE POET.

He sat and wrote,
Could not say why,
Just sat and wrote
Till the day he died.
And should you stop
To ask him why he sits and writes
He'll answer: 'Why?

I cannot say
But deep inside
Tales evolve, I dare not lie;
Tales of innocence
Lust so pure,
Tales of passion
Love demure'.

None can cease the trembling hand,
For centuries now from countless lands
The words spew forth to tell of lives
To prise men's secrets,
Pens like knives.

I would go back

To the day,
I saw you,
For the first time.

I would go back.
And,make sure,
I looked in another direction.

I fantasize,
Maybe, that day,
I was stuck,
In traffic.

Maybe,
I took a different way to work.

Now,my Love,for you
Is etched on my soul
My body
....yeah,those times,you beat me,
Still ache.

Was,I,Ever,Enough?

When you kick me.
When you punch me.
Are you actually trying,to fix me?

Renaissance man

Danny lived out on the street.
The state provided for his needs.
His gift was sculpting blocks of clay.
That Danny formed from day to day.
With weights and balances unknown today.
He formed an angel in beatific sway.
Then for his father on a sunny day.
The finished work he then displayed.
He looked on it with much disdain.
In great dismay Danny turned
I never saw the boy again,
But in a dumpster found the gifts remains!

BEAUTIFUL AND THEN HATRED

She was as beautiful as the northern lights
freckles like
Scattered glowing stars on a pitch black night
a scent of
gorgeous blossom flowers a touch gentle silk
and soft. a dark well kept brunette with swelling Hill
Like big breasts a small nose and cute painted toes

emerald sparkling green eyes beautiful smile womanly
hips with sugar plump tasting
Sweet rasberry lips that stick. Curves and thighs were

Smooth as a a flowing running snake like stream over
pebble stones
and a Handful, grabful big behind.

The Gifts We Have

A moment to pause to give thanks
For the beauty and joy that fills our ranks
For the warmth and comfort of those around
Who offer support when fears abound

For the love that our families comes our way
The joy and laughter they bring to us each day
For our friends and their unwavering love they give
That makes our lives a better place to live

Overall it is a wonderful life
With family and friends to relieve our strife
Let us be grateful for all that we have been given
Let our mishaps be greatly forgiven
