Time ticks away...
Time ticks away...
You want time to pass quickly at work, so you may go home or go partying? Have fun!
But those are moments of your life you never get back.
You can't wait for Christmas, Summer or that
long awaited vacation...
...or even your favorite TV shows to have
their new fall episodes...
...then Halloween, Thanksgiving and
Christmas, again - has it been another year
already?
Someone won't be at the table this year...
Their time sadly is up!
Children want to grow up fast...

GET OUT OF MY LIFE
Let's take a moment to analyze, as we reflect upon the uncrossing, of our history and life 💖 together. 🤔 For sure I have been very grateful enough to know when it's over and done , between us but yet I truly wonder is it really over between us. 🤨. For it is true that we have so much history together, it would be a shame to watch it go away and never truly return. 😔 Yet I know it would be best for me and you, being that we are always fighting and arguing back to back and going at each other like cats and dogs. 🤨 Almost to the point of no return from...

Conjuring your strength
Do you really know what is your strength and courage and perseverance. 🤔 When you feel that you are all alone, within the very foundation of your mind. 🧠 YET you refuse to bend down on your knees, for you remain resilient on standing on your own two feet. WITH the deepness of your own heart. 💖 FOR sure you have the ability to truly manifest, 👁️ that which you want and need, Even if it means there must be a sacrifice. 😔 TO be made of your own self and dignity. For sure everything comes at a price, To not to have to deal with, what you don't...

Lady Fancy R.I.P. ( A tribute )
I knew Lori as well anyone knows someone whom they've never met but knew so well..
She was on DUP at the same time I was but we never crossed paths until we did.
Ironically we worked at the same company in the city but did not know each other then.
Had we known each other then we surely would have had drinks downstairs in the bar where everyone went on Friday nights...
That brings us to DUP.
I think she commented on one of my poems and I back and then another and that went on for awhile. Till one day I posted a painting with one of my poems and then it was...

I JUST WANT YOU TO THINK
It's me again the story teller of unspoken WORDS ✍️. For sure I just want you to know and think for thyself, 🤔 for what I want to know from you 🤔 do you know what you want and need, 🤔 or do you continue to just settle for what you don't want or need to sustain your own life. 🙏 For sure I see your thoughts process, turning in the deepness of your own SUBCONSCIOUSNESS OF YOUR MIND 🧠 LET'S dive deeper into the deepness of your own thoughts, and insight and feelings 😞 into the outer limits, of your own mind thoughts...

The 7 Wonders Of Life...
Joy, hope, forgiveness, wonder, friendship, family, and love:
Joy is satisfaction! Nothing more. YOU set the standard. No one else!
Hope is wanting to survive. Whether you do or not is the flip of a coin. It's not your coin!
Forgiveness is strength or weakness - no middle road!
Wonder is a waste of time. Stopping to think - your clock keeps ticking!
Friendship is extending trust and hoping you don't get bit in the ass!
Family are given to you. You can accept them or discard them!
Love is the need of having...

Defected Life
Why doesn't it ever end?
Some people are rich
So many are poor
Some live in peace
Some live within a war
What are the reasons
For all the madness
What are the reasons
For human pain & suffering
Some people are obese
Others are frail
Some die due to starvation
Others eat like whales
Is there a paradise?
Is there another side?
Or is there just a grave?
Where your body will eternally lie?
Ignore the speeches that brainwash you
Reality shows us a world of conflict &...

Satinpods
The honesty plants, standing still,
all sport a misty moonbeam glow
by quarter phase lunar halo
commanding her December chill
by hallowed fringe of sovereign gold
surrounded by a hint of peach 🍑
as if it had that tint to teach
these last few weeks of autumn cold,
where silver dollars, still standing,
are seemingly eager to earn
a lunar lesson where they learn
how to keep their coins blanding
and as transparent as a ghost...
where eidolon itself osmosed.

Religion
Men once marveled at your beauty—
I still see the flicker of who you could have been.
“You could have had it all,” I think,
And it burns my soul the most.
You clung to holy morals,
Clutching a Bible like a lifeline,
And it anchored you
In a sea of suffering you couldn't escape.
You could have graced the runway,
Dazzling, free, unbound—
But you never closed that book,
Never flipped the preacher off,
Never let the dream breathe.
Instead, you let men break you,
Bruise your spirit,
Tell you to cover up, ...
I still see the flicker of who you could have been.

Just Wait
You’re a devil running through heaven,
Left me tasting flames,
Ashes burned into my eyes.
Love blinded me so,
Locked heart, locked the skies.
Still, I watched you fly.
Angel with a devil’s tail,
Or devil with an angel’s wings
How do I escape you?
A ghost runs through my mind,
Eyes fixed on fading light,
What was our love, but a sick joke?
Just wait, the stars will turn,
One day, the flames won’t burn.
You’ll see the truth in the scars I earned, ...
Left me tasting flames,
Ashes burned into my eyes.
Love blinded me so,
Locked heart, locked the skies.
Still, I watched you fly.
Angel with a devil’s tail,
Or devil with an angel’s wings
How do I escape you?
A ghost runs through my mind,
Eyes fixed on fading light,
What was our love, but a sick joke?
Just wait, the stars will turn,
One day, the flames won’t burn.
You’ll see the truth in the scars I earned, ...

Now, and Not Yet
In the marrow of your bones,
A fire kindles, a yearning grows,
You're young now, with skin that hungers for love,
But you’re still naive of heart.
Now, your flesh asks for the touch of others,
Fingers trace the shadows of a body
Not yet ready to bear the weight of
A man filled with grownup desire for a woman.
Lust unfurls within like a night-blooming flower,
Its scent asks only for a sinless satisfaction,
But you’re not yet the vessel to carry such a storm,
To open yourself to the flood without losing too much. ...

Echoes
Bestirred by a radio app today,
reiterating the infamy date,
I recollected what my dad would say
about how that war affected our fate.
Sick, he had stayed home from Sunday school
where thusly by a broadcast he had heard
of the sneak attack on Yankee rule
and the international afterword...
which in a few short years saw him training
with artillery to use on Japan
when their empire was at last waning
along with their co-prosperity plan...
but Russian threats, and the atomic bomb,
had his odds increase for troth...
