First experience at Six Flags Great Adventure
In July this will mark the 40th anniversary of my 1st time at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson New Jersey.
Prior to Great Adventure, I had some experience with Amusement Parks. My parents and grandparents have taken me to Adventureland in Farmingdale Long Island since 1980. My first roller coaster experience was there in 1982. Accompanied by my father, I rode a coaster called the Galaxy. A simplistic, figure 8 coaster that hit speeds of 30 mph. At that time, I thought it was the greatest thing on Earth!

Coffee & Pancakes
I.
We reached that Dead End
the one that pointed and said:
You, Right
and. . .
You, Left.
Scared Us senseless
but we bagged ego
submitted despite what we wanted
Because Love
isn't always grasping for happiness
On the contrary;
it's often a self-sacrifice
for the one you love's benefit
Those who've truly Loved
understand this
II.
A timing belt of dynamics
churns for our experience
Infinite are intersecting...

The Number 18
Number 18 is a number etched on the skin
a parchment of smiles through tears
a number, simple but never forgotten
written on the scabs of old wounds
18th of November a path to glory was hoed
furrowed flesh won't ever hurt as much
or whispered goodbye and signs in the cloud
of oncoming storm of soul in death's clutch
remembering the name in the echoes of time
torch burning bright like a bush aflame
18 evoke regrets and what could have been
thus memories albums are flipped through again
the 18th of February a long...

Flowers Episode 1: Soul Soldier
I was humbled
When she first uttered those words
Out loud..in a crowd full of poets
Soul Soldier
Indeed I felt those weighted words
Egotistical yet introverted
I wasn't sure how to show my appreciation
Thus the apprehension
But as Time humbles
I see what she always saw
True and full of Blues
She understood my Soldier
The one that carries on in spite of myself
That lone Underdog
On a hill littered with convictions
Fighting for Love...for art
For my own humanity
Dodging...

nothing like notting hill

21 years.....
Right about now we were
introduced
as the happily wedded couple
Mr & Mrs
Wow what a feeling
and in church no less!
(the grannies were happy about that lol )
we knew it was going to be a wild ride
Wild doesnt even explain it
A ride we had to experience....
young and in love
ready to conquer the world
together hand in hand
Theres been some dark days within these 21 years
rough child births
kids needing specialists when born
stress, mortgage, car payments, more stress ...
