KERNEL BOGEY

They were enjoying a festival
They went into a field to pick vegetables
She preferred him to the other men
She knew he was a Trustifarian!
They were so happy, young and trendy
They strode into the fields of plenty
They were carefree and highly-sexed
They weren't to know what would happen next!
NAKED GAMBOLS IN THE CORN
A NICE, QUIET PLACE TO GET THE HORN
IT HAD GROWN SOME 6 FEET DEEP
AND AFTER THE NOOKIE, THEY FELL ASLEEP
The One o'clock sun was shining briht

Gaslight (2)

Boots outside the door; shuffling, scuffling; cringing as the knob turns and clicks; twisting; tumbling; what will it be today? What didn't she do that he will say she did just so he can make her flinch? Watching, waiting as he drops his keys on the table. His voice rumbles like thunder.

Friend, my friend

Friend, my friend,
How can you be a friend of mine
When such as I,
So ugly, brutish and a man,
Want to love you all I can,
Kiss your body for my own good,
Take possession of your womanhood.

Sunday Morning

A Perfect Sunday…

Includes waking up satisfied
Whether it is from a long week or
A Saturday lived out well.
Sunday is essential and divine
A day to praise and be blessed.

A day to step back from the grind
Visualize softness in all things,
A day to just relish in rest
In touched with our body, family, and healing.

Depths of Destruction

You, you evil substance,

You're narcissistic and have no balance,

Unstable on your feet,

Weak on your own,

Yes, I can tell by the tone,

The nuance is small,

But it's as vivid as you before me,

Asking for control of my world,

And I accepted foolishly,

My soul was damaged when you stole my power,

And took off Like a savage beast,

No feelings have you,

The contract you presented was compelling,

Still to this day has me dwelling,

On how many other lives you ruined for pleasure.

Overzealousness and assiduousness...

now propels yours truly towards restitution
courtesy sophisticated mountebank,
whose criminal mind
filched mine banknotes
rationed for when I exhibit decrepitude.
Cutthroat robber baron
re: newly minted vandal
an alumni matriculated

from school for scandal
a sheep in wolf's clothing
said culprit I call Randall
fleeced me such
more likely than not,
I will be forced to panhandle
and read book of Matthew
courtesy light of candle.

Once Upon a Time... Neopoet Challenge.

Once upon a time
I was a strong young lad
I had muscles and my health
Opportunities to be had

There were things I loved to do
I've done a lot of things, I guess
But youthfulness and headstrong ways
Made my life a goddamned mess

I overdid, and underperformed
I was a cat out on the prowl
I fought with bigger dogs
Roared... damn, I had a growl

Sometimes, I was a winner
Just as often, I was losing
I wouldn't slow my ass down
Take my time in choosing

A Long Goodbye

The tapestry of life we wove
Together thread by thread,
Now seems to tell a different tale
As I lay here in our bed.

The pictures on the walls
Show all the fun we knew,
All the happy times we shared
As our family thrived and grew.

I see you as when we were young
And I long to live those days,
Before the changing tides of time,
Caught us in its waves.

The music and the laughter
The joys of being with you,
Have left me blessed beyond compare,
Now loving memories will have to do.
