Contemplations On Which Is Better or Worse; Stayin' or Leavin'
I remember how you used to tell me that you loved me, almost every day -
But now you just say "I love you" reflexively -
You used to kiss me like you truly meant it -
But now you kiss me as though it's more of a forced habit than a desiring want -
I remember how we promise we'd never go to bed angry -
But now it's all we ever do as of lately -
That's even if we go to bed together all anymore -
And whenever we go to bed together you turn me away as though you resent me -
Which has made me wonder do you resent me?
I mean do you honestly...

Bemusing Enigmatic Inquiries For The Deific On High
font=Courier]
For none of us knows what it was like to bear such a burden cross as He did-
Neither can any of us know what it is like to have been adorned a thorny crown, as He had forced upon His head-
Nor can we imitate the holes where the nails nailed into His hands-
Yet there are more than a few-
Who knows what it feels like to carry around a great albatross of suffering anguish -
Who are hexed with being tormented by a constant bothersome impediment-
And there are far too many who have holes in their souls, hearts, and their humanity-
Which...

National Hard Working Sexy Single Mothers Holiday
Lordie be Sug I do believe that they oughta' run your picture in a magazine, newspaper or something like that. 'Cause you're such an overly dedicated hard working woman. I mean if you weren't actually sinkin' in a river of debt, I'd say, "Quit that job and let 'em find another lackey to do their bidding for a few days.” And I know you're seriously depending on every dime to make ends meet. But babe, I'm seriously sick and tired of you working so much to the point where it seems like you're working yourself to the grave instead of working to make a living. They need to dedicate a holiday to...

A Profound Introspective Rumination
A Profound Introspective Rumination
So, it's been said repeatedly time and time again;
That there's a time to laugh and there's a time to mourn.
Nd there's time for giving less and there are moments for gaining more.
Supposedly there's a period for peace and there is an age of war.
But there's a problem, it's that the sands in our hourglass are running out expediently, so there isn't much time for anything anymore.
So, since that's the case I should probably just say goodbye to this cruel bitter-sweet world, here tonight, now shouldn't I?
I've...

An Ode to My Furry Feline Son Bocephus
I swear unto all that I have a cat unlike no other cat out there.
Yes yes yes I know that all cat lovers declare they have one like this too.
But I swear mine is much much different than others or maybe he's not.
Well tell you more about him and why he is a rare uniquely different feline.
For I must begin with how we met.
When I was deployed to Iraq during Desert storms on a dreadful Halloween night in Baghdad I witnessed the birth of a litter of black kittens.
Amongst the litter, there was a runt of the litter which I named Bocephus out of a hubris...

Inconvenient Laborious Dumbfounded Nice Guy Syndrome - That's Ensnared in Friendzone Love?
Whenever it is that you walk through the door of our broken home I sense this silently outspoken feeling from you
That almost cries out that you feel as though you're forced to live with a man that you no longer wish to be with or even around anymore.
This all comes from no longer seeing that same look in your eyes
That says that we were gonna be together forever.
It also stems from whenever we touch and I do not feel the same hunger in your touch as I once did,
That made me feel that I was all you needed to make your day better.
And lastly it comes from each...

A Dolorous Bodach's Gelid Beatific Repose
It was two thirty in the morning, and yet once again he finds himself wide awake staring at ghostly photographs of the past of him and her,
Ever since her abrupt inexplicable departure, he hasn't been getting much sleep,
And since she's been gone the house that was theirs has felt more like a tomb than a home to him,
But on this rare blue moon night, he feels a cold front rolling in,
That was to be a blizzardly concoction of freezing rain and hail,
Yeah, he can tell she's coming back to the place where he doesn't want to be but yet he does.
Back to the place...

A Politically Correct Christmas Story
A Politically Correct Christmas Story
T’was the night before Christmas and St. Nick's a wreck for many reasons,
One is the fact that Mrs. Claus told him she'd had enough of him constantly working non-stop and pay no mind to her.
So she packed up and left and ran off with a mall Santa strangely named Fabio who she had been moonlighting with for some time.
She also went on Ellen DeGeneres and told the world her side of the story,
Then she started up a support group known as "Girlfriends and Wives of Workaholics
The IRS, also visited him so they could...

The Infallible Arbitration of Thy Estranged Self
There are times when I wake that I hear the cruel voices of my past telling me that I need to pay up some sort of debt that I owe them.
And other times when I wake up, I find myself curled up and afraid to face the day knowing that nothing will ever be the same or change no matter how hard I give it my all.
Most of the time though when I wake up, I feel the waves of burdening depression washing over me trying to drag me back down in the sea of despair.
However, though each time I wake up, I do so in a puddle of sweat from the indescribable unmemorable nightmare – ...

Thyown Sad Heartfelt Reflections of La Douleur Exquise
Admittedly this relationship that you and I are in seems like it's nothing but a cliffhanger.
That even from the very get-go, it felt as though I wasn't on solid ground, especially whenever it is that I nearby you.
I mean each of your acts of blatant disregard, carelessness, heedlessness, inconsiderateness, unthoughtfulness,
Would constantly test the limits of how far you could almost push me over the edge.
Testing on how much I could take before I was able to pull myself together and then back onto the ledge.
But you knew well what you were doing.
And you...

STAYIN’ OR LEAVIN’ (DECIDING ON WHICH IS BETTER OR WORSE)
What is left to say that has not been already repeatedly said?
Why should I try and make you continue staying here with me anymore?
When you've already gone ahead and decided to secretly exit stage left -
How can I make you see that what you've done to me is far beyond immoral and unjust?
When you've already slammed shut your guiltless book and proceeded to solely blame me for all the inflictions that were done between us -
Yeah, it's probably true that you and I were probably not meant to last -
But we'll never know whether that is actually the case or not - ...
