Thank You
He was told by a friend that his ex-wife is dying of cancer
She had less then a month to live
His hatred & animosity towards her was put to the side
They were together for years
Early on they were happy
Everything was golden
Trust and addiction was a big problem for him
They eventually divorced
They couldn't stand to look at one another
They sold the home
He moved to the next county over
She stayed local
For years they had no contact with one another
One of their friends kept in contact with the two of them
They swore...

Sweet Girl
I hurt like Marilyn, always dummying down my intensity
turning down my internal music
so others feel better
such a hefty price for Marilyn
to pay for the looks combined with intelligence
sent to the looney bin
because God forbid you feel too much
it hurts and if I were a reincarnation of her
they would say poor Marilyn still can't get off the dope
I feel a kindred spirit with her
today I imagine she chose to be a nobody
chained to notoriety is no longer for her
in my heart, she flies free
united with the baby...

Don't take knowone for granted
It's true what the elders say that we should never take nothing for granted, as this is life in real life time. For sure do you know for sure that tomorrow, isn't a promise 🤨 for it's a blessing in the form of a gift, to have and behold of a precious kind of life, as well as a beautiful blessing sometimes as a disguise. For sure it's never good to be taken for granted, just like love and happiness of a kindness of a beautiful heart. ❤️ But yet there are those who are creatures of habits, that just don't want to do right for they prefer to do wrong, 😔 to someone...

Well??
What can I say that I have not already said about this community?
My 1-year anniversary is coming up and I have created something for that day.
If I say I am not sad about this, I would be lying.
In one year I have met so many amazing people.
Did I get along with everyone no, but that is life isn't it?
This site had become a touchstone in my life.
Some where I could go to meet, post and sometimes be a support.
Weird, thought came to me The Sound of Music when she said when one door closes another opens. I believe that. It has to be hard to say...

~the trance-ease- shun #1 :: a LITT, yet TMHR moment..
it’s never easy.. this a transition
with it’s force fed death at each
of it’s dizzying hairpin bend turn..
you pin down in a flash second
the awaiting eye of a needle.. in
but to all it’s trancing.. an ultimate
liberation.. of the One hardcore
sedimentational truth, this love
when you said those.. in an easy flow
that
you didn’t love me (that much) as I do..
(a bouldering LITT ..Lump InThe Throat …
was in the sumptuous choking.. neither
rolling down...
with it’s force fed death at each
of it’s dizzying hairpin bend turn..
you pin down in a flash second
the awaiting eye of a needle.. in
but to all it’s trancing.. an ultimate
liberation.. of the One hardcore
sedimentational truth, this love
when you said those.. in an easy flow
that
you didn’t love me (that much) as I do..
(a bouldering LITT ..Lump InThe Throat …

Rockabilly
Old Timers made
me go trip down
memory lanes
back to the time
life was amazing
cruising around
while listening
to johnny cash
& the stray cats
going to parties
car meetings &
weddings it felt
as if i was part
of a marvelous
rockabilly family
sharing love for
oldtimers, music
& vintage clothes
i cherish that time
& my rockabilly life
bittersweet memories
with a Tear and a Smile
me go trip down
memory lanes
back to the time
life was amazing
cruising around
while listening
to johnny cash
& the stray cats
going to parties
car meetings &
weddings it felt
as if i was part
of a marvelous
rockabilly family
sharing love for
oldtimers, music
& vintage clothes
i cherish that time
& my rockabilly life
bittersweet memories
with a Tear and a Smile

TRUMP IS BACK!
Trump is back, oh yeah baby...
DRILL BABY DRILL!
You said 'baby' already!
Yeah but I'm here for the thrill...
Mr Vance!
Trump is back...
He’s gonna save your back,
Your reputation -
(Even though it's in the shitter)
Ala, ala... my baby's back!
He wants everyone sacked.
If I were you,
I'd take a permanent vacation...
To Ukraine!
Ala ala Trump -
Alas, you know he’s been lyin',
No matter what Musk is tryin'.
He shoulda stayed gone for good!
Ah wooo, ah wooo.
Now Zelenski wants to kick...
DRILL BABY DRILL!
You said 'baby' already!
Yeah but I'm here for the thrill...
Mr Vance!
Trump is back...
He’s gonna save your back,
Your reputation -
(Even though it's in the shitter)
Ala, ala... my baby's back!
He wants everyone sacked.
If I were you,
I'd take a permanent vacation...
To Ukraine!
Ala ala Trump -
Alas, you know he’s been lyin',
No matter what Musk is tryin'.
He shoulda stayed gone for good!
Ah wooo, ah wooo.
Now Zelenski wants to kick...

Closing Time

Last drinks shouts the tender
drink em up
it's time to be out
I need to get home
so sip the last of your beer
slam down the last shots
head toward the outside
the chill of the night
fought off by the incoherence of
alcohols numb
the wisps of the smoke machine swirls
and clings like sad fog
to the crusted carpets
where booze and blood
bile and tears have stained my memories
with exquisite times and the haunted agony
of a thousand-thousand poets ...

As if that were the case
If you fall in love
who will pick you up then?
If you make love
who will undo it afterwards?
Bang! Bang!
Shooting stars and stray bullets!
The universe sleeps the sleep of angels...
who will pick you up then?
If you make love
who will undo it afterwards?
Bang! Bang!
Shooting stars and stray bullets!
The universe sleeps the sleep of angels...
