Poignant memories combined with sincerest birthday greetings Jeannette!
By Stanley Collymore
Those distant days we made our own have literally flown by
and the several years which inevitably they’ve given rise
to have harmoniously coalesced into an enterprisingly
beautiful and kaleidoscopic reservoir of supremely
rich, fondly enlivening and unquestionably note
worthily charming and enduring memories of
you and me. Memories that on reliving them in my mind
their energizing experiences instantaneously and rather
vividly roll back the several years passed to those

Between the Warrior and the Witch
another trip around the sun
my yearly reckoning beckons
groaning, heavy
with unanswered questions,
swirling like distant galaxies
it’s past time to explore
did I love without conditions?
my soul shouts, yes!
but the bodies stacked
out back by the shed
of my selfishness
would speak otherwise
if they could still speak at all
my mother used to say
the heart wants what it wants
but I’m guessing she didn’t know
she’d given birth
to a black hole
did I accept love given to me? ...

Happy Birthday To Me!
No rain tonight
The room is hot, too hot
Still air and the smell of dampness creeps through my window
I'm alone and far away from home
My life is now a chain of broken dream rooms
I like it that way
I can't go backwards, but weary to move forward
Death makes life easier somehow
Less choices
Less masks
Less of everything, except grief
Lot's of grief
Can't get far enough away
The room is hot, too hot
Still air and the smell of dampness creeps through my window
I'm alone and far away from home
My life is now a chain of broken dream rooms
I like it that way
I can't go backwards, but weary to move forward
Death makes life easier somehow
Less choices
Less masks
Less of everything, except grief
Lot's of grief
Can't get far enough away

optimism
I'm in my quiet time when I don't have much to say
my soul rests in the shadows let others talk today
it's my birthday and I know time says I'm old
but inside I still feel young
I reach and touch the sky and exhale
sighing into the winds
my mind turns to you
lover over my honesty
you know me true
probably better than most
I wander the day without purpose or plan
I just want to be free
drift with the energy being a part of the day
but not driving it
I escape the moment sorrow walks my way ...

Charo!
I forged for myself an iron decree
That my lady's fiftieth birthday
Would not treat her as mine did me
And that we would celebrate...as she may.
On that score I gleaned we were agreed
Because I'm the awesome sort of guy
That gives to his wife some actual heed
Unlike those wretched chaps that never try!
"Thai" was her edict for birthday cuisine,
For she knew of a lovely place to dine,
And later on when things were more serene
We marked the day with sparkling wine!
Oh, how to know, when I was young and drifty, ...
