Super Man's Last Flight
The B-24s, the Liberators,
The Second World War’s incinerators,
They dropped bombs all over the Pacific,
They were key to winning the war,
Legendary amid the corps,
They created a hell on earth that was horrific.
But the service men called them “flying coffins”,
Odds of surviving these missions weren’t too great,
And of all the glories of the men who told their stories,
This is the account of Super Man’s crew and their fate…
Phil and Cuppernell piloted the plane,
Lambert in the tail, Nelson along for the ride,...

Equines
One really ought to start with the beginning, only it goes so long back
That it is impossible to remember.
I remember being born, but that was just an interlude, cold and
Unpleasant and being kissed by strangers.
I like horses, but that has nothing to do with my inception.
But then, was anyone ever born,
we are just a part of a bigger
A broader picture where we but an unconscious number
But I do like horses and would have loved galloping across some
Grassland and jumping over brooks.
And now we have emboli fever, which is either...

Lasso the Sun
The rider rides
With rage and passion in his heart
Over golden hills and across the plains
Across the great breath of land
Through realms and domains
Ready
To capture the sun
His untamed spirit and will
Has no time for menial things
There is a flame to catch and a force wield
As he gallops into the distance
Willing to conquer the day
Ready
To seize the sun
He chases the fire in the sky
Without wings or propellors he flies
Hi horse racing against time
Leaving a plume of smoke and dust...
With rage and passion in his heart
Over golden hills and across the plains
Across the great breath of land
Through realms and domains
Ready
To capture the sun
His untamed spirit and will
Has no time for menial things
There is a flame to catch and a force wield
As he gallops into the distance
Willing to conquer the day
Ready
To seize the sun
He chases the fire in the sky
Without wings or propellors he flies
Hi horse racing against time

the women i our life
Women I our life
n the line
The cashier talks to another woman
They are both about forty
The age when women are the
Most handsome
And they know
So much more than before
cashier gets up and embrace
Embrace the other woman
I notice she has a nice bum
Turning her attention to me
I have wine and cheese
That is quickly done
I pay and see her eyes
She has a beautiful smile
I briefly fall in love
Women of forty are so beautiful
And old enough
To know that sex is more
So much more than ...

Cruelty is your middle name
Most people duck reality. Reality is a river with a fierce current. You can try & resist but the current won’t stop. It moves faster & stronger then you ever will. People give in. People have to many vices that blur their vision. Most people accept what it is and never go against the mainstream. Swim up the mainstream, go against what is the norm and what is being force fed to you. Living life this way takes perseverance and determination.
Society, civilization, language, just living day by day, people are tired. They don’t have the strength to make change. This is why so...

Syria's Christians and Haiti
Syria’s Christians and Haiti
The first Christian church was built in Syrian, as I write this the horror is killing them the new death cult regime in Syria, a cult we give money to, and not mentioned by Western media as Israel continues to bomb Gaza to their hearts content This is only possible when the bombs are free of charge courtesy of the USA
On the home front, we read about erectile dysfunction, no they are telling me who thought
my own problems were caused by the old age
Haiti, the sad state is in the news again, last time
I was there, Papa Doc, was in...

Dawn at Helm's Deep
The attack went on throughout the night,
Neither man or woman, nor elf got sleep,
And as they endured the drawn out fight,
They started losing hope at Helm’s Deep.
Then many orcs broke through the doors,
When the onslaught came in a great heap,
Even as they advanced by great scores,
Hope seemed lost defending Helm's Deep.
But then Aragorn remembered the words,
On the fifth day, at dawn, look to the east,
At first light they gathered their strength,
Hope had revived to defend Helm’s Deep.
Ride out...

Hooked
I walked out onto the pier
in one hand was a fishing rod
In the other hand, was the gear
Today was the day I was going to show
I'm coming back with a fish
I will not buy it from the store
They all laughed at me
They cannot believe it is true
I'll show them they'll see
I placed the gear down
I took the blood worm out
casting into the blue was easy I found
Two hours in
The line began to jiggle a bit
This is where the fight begins
I yanked the rod up in a start ...

more gift cards
More gift cards
What is it with people and the money they dream of I’m not a money person, cash in hand is ok
Perhaps a small account is enough for everyday use to repair a puncture.
A family friend got me to invest in a gift card thing, but I soon realized it was a bad thing, I cut my losses, as they say, a bird in hand is better than birds in the bushes
The gift card company is persistent in a little investment more and I will be very rich, which is the last thing I want to be
I feel sorry for the wealthy who need a yacht to
feel good about themselves...

AN ADDICTION I CAN'T BREAK
I
don't remember when
I was first attracted to YOU.
A mental picture?
A poem?
A Comment?
BUT
somewhere and at
some time you became
"stuck" in my senses
and desires.
YOU
became a beautiful fantasy:
imagining holding YOU close,
scanning your face, mouth,
eyes....all of YOU.
I
feel your kisses, your touch;
the passion of your erotic responses
when we share unbridled passion.
YES,
YOU are an addiction in my fantasies
that I don't want to break. So PLEASE
keep teasing me....

I Can...I Will
My heart is full
But sometimes...
my soul feels so empty.
What is there?
Who am I?
Why should I care?
sometimes my soul
floats on thin air,
but then I think,
then I remember
"I Got Jesus"
I will rise
I can be
I do matter,
I will make a difference
I will B the difference!
But sometimes...
my soul feels so empty.

the big turtle
The big turtle of Galapagos.
Turtles, in general, are not good at communicating with anyone, at least those odd figures who talk a lot and sometimes sing
The big turtle of the Galapagos does remember when a big storm had blown over the world and many ships had run ashore on the island
She had been ashore laying egg in a hollow and when she emerged, her way to the ocean was blocked by broken ships, big chests sailors used to carry around since they had no shells He appeared in front of her, a man in linen trousers said he would help her and began clearing the beach,...
