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 ...

slight change of plans...
we had a plan
reservations made
in the works for months
bringing your sweetie to you
she made a bucket list
& you were at the top
a homecoming...of sorts
revisit all the old haunts
going to Morey's & get your favorite fish
those special cheeses you always used to get
A&W with New York Vanilla ice cream floats
just like the old days...in better times
before everything changed in life
we were coming...I swear
but the universe had other ideas
so we had to pivot quickly

Birthday Prose
I’m sorry I didn’t write you a verse for your birthday, because unlike pros today I chose to compose and expose my verbose prose which feels like it goes all the way up to the elbows. So, pardon my slippery delivery if it makes you feel a little quivery, but I’mma try to give you some lines that will make you crinkle your nose and maybe even curl your toes.
I didn’t get you a hallmark card ‘cause you know how hard it is for me to spit some barred rhymes in such a tight space, but you’ve seen my face and heard my grammar even though I stammer when I try to enunciate. Theoretically...

My Better Angel
No femme fatale rocks a housecoat as well
as my beloved of thirty-five years,
since with it she bolstered me, truth to tell,
far beyond the phonemes of sonneteers
or any bunny in a magazine
shorn of their drapery mysterium
so notorious at setting the scene
for male gaze fever delirium...
which was always the wealth I truly craved
when often I had surplus love to spend
and she so fervent by that to be laved,
both inside and out, and at either end...
where even becoming fifty-seven
she comes across as a piece of heaven!

Equal to
My birthday has become
a time of giving and serving
It's an exchange of gratitude
for another year of living
What better way to share
than providing a home
for a rescue kitty
who needed to be loved
Isn't that true for all of us
“And, in the end
The love you take
is equal to the love you make.”

In This Day May I Rejoice
Yeshua, which is a Hebrew name for Jesus. The name Yeshua (ישוע) is a late form of the Biblical Hebrew name Yehoshua
"Elohim" is a Hebrew name for God, often used in the Old Testament of the Bible. The term emphasizes the majesty and sovereignty of God.
May I rejoice in this day Allah has made and for anyone who is celebrating a birthday in the month of February, I extend my heartfelt wishes and a Happy Birthday.
Love and Hugs, always

WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN THE END?
I have walked on all
the Continents in
the world, all 50 States,
and lost count of the
countries I have visited.
I say this not to impress
but to share what I, not
anyone else, have learned.
It hit me right between
the eyes a few years ago
as I heard what a group
of wealthy men said in the
last days in the terminal ward;
soon to face death.
They were all rich and
among the who's who
in society. In their last days
they were asked what,
when looking back really
mattered?
Was it their yachts,...

In the Sorrow of Your Arms
In the Sorrow of Your Arms
Plans are made
To be broken,
And no charms
Can break
That spell.
Our destiny
May be a token
Of those
Dreams
We know so well.
There
In the sorrow
Of your arms
I still can
Hear them tell,
Every thing
We thought
We knew
In the end
Unwound,
And at last
Oh so so fast
Became....
The echo
Of our sound.
