ONE OF "THE FEW"
He's one "the Few"
who's still in view,
though not seen a lot
as when they were "hot"
in poster appeal
and wartime newsreel,
for part they did play
in keeping away
attempts to invade -
rained off Goering's parade
that might have been staged
had we become caged
with the occupied
lands in Europe wide.
His medals are the
signs of past glory,
though at great risk earned -
so many crashed, burned
quite literally,
even lost in sea.
Older age has claimed ...

Comfort Zone
The gym is out of
my comfort zone
as far as it can get
while i know fitness
can help with body
image & recovery
self love perhaps
so i dived into the
deep unknown got
a try-out session
i felt horribly lost
so uncomfortable
NO idea how the
equipments work
or where to start
so i searched for
solutions to make
it doable found me
a personal trainer
she makes working
out fun & guides me
you got to love a lady
whose name is...
my comfort zone

Shining
I've had stars lacerated from my eyes.
Dreams slaughtered in my mind.
My heart lodged in a barren winter.
But below the marrow,
My soul of fragility
somehow sparkles with possibility.
My wounds shine.
Each daily war,
I survived.
Dreams slaughtered in my mind.
My heart lodged in a barren winter.
But below the marrow,
My soul of fragility
somehow sparkles with possibility.
My wounds shine.
Each daily war,
I survived.

Indictment
Observable stupidity,
implausibly denied,
only supports cupidity
when logic isn't tried.
They think no one will give a shit;
no challenge will be made
by citizens who lack the wit
and drink their Kool-Aid.
Much witness bearing is a load
of falsehood and intent
by mountebanks who mean to goad
with humbug argument.
Therefore we use self-evidence,
observable in act,
to clearly see who will dispense...
reality from fact.

Stoned At Starbucks!
I found myself stoned -
Stoned in Starbucks, actually.
The queue was long, it helped!
Was there any place finer to be,
Any state better to be in,
As I gently sipped my freshly ground -
NOT FOUND ON THE GROUND, coffee?!!
Remember...
Don't leave the house 'til you're totally stoned,
As today could potentially be your last -
And if you get through, it'll still be a blast!
Just roll with it cos you'll gather no moss,
No, NOT Kate Moss -
Always preferred Taylor Swift anyway!
Come join me in long conversation, ...

mom's badassery
4 of 30
she was born to a family who had no use for daughters
doting on 3 sons...little girl practically forgotten
shuffled off to live with relatives & boarding school
because her own parents didn't know what to do with her
...or maybe they just couldn't be bothered
I used to believe she was incredibly sheltered
so much in life seemed to shock her
turns out...that wasn't it...
she was reared to be seen...keep quiet & be pretty
most importantly...expected to marry
...within or above her supposed station ...

Insanity a la carte
Glimmering beneath a sheen,
where shadows dance in whispers, unseen.
Veiled chaos, finely painted dreams,
in the cracks madness gleams.
Fragile echoes in twilight's embrace,
haunting glimpses of a fractured face.
Silent screams, behind polished walls,
in the stillness a storm calls.
Beneath the surface, turmoil brews.
Masked by a gloss of tranquil hues.
In the heart, a restless fire,
burning with unspoken desire.
Mirrored reflections, distorted and clear,
a dance with demons ever near.
Eyes that...
where shadows dance in whispers, unseen.
Veiled chaos, finely painted dreams,
in the cracks madness gleams.
Fragile echoes in twilight's embrace,
haunting glimpses of a fractured face.
Silent screams, behind polished walls,
in the stillness a storm calls.
Beneath the surface, turmoil brews.
Masked by a gloss of tranquil hues.
In the heart, a restless fire,
burning with unspoken desire.
Mirrored reflections, distorted and clear,
a dance with demons ever near.
Eyes that...

Kneel Unto Heaven Stand Upon Faith (The Book of Esther)
Lord, I'm going to hold steady on to You and You've got to see me through.
Harriet Tubman
Heritage to Queens and Kings to proclaim battles with written declarations of one's sovereignty with unspoken philosophical weapons
Twisted tongues in life, adaption of its feeble scorn
In the hereafter, I have glimpsed mortality to give hearts reprisal upon reborn
To the keepers of the wind, fire, air, and of the sea
The fourscore entwined, defined of mouths when...

She Walks In Silence
She walks in silence, like a lapping wave
drowned in chastity and flooded with rave
holding dear and tight her very beauties
denying all her gems and rubies.
Her powers disabled under the spell
the flame in wouldn’t break out of its shell.
Tempted to trace a humming call of fate
allured but reluctant to take the bait.
The strings of her heart lost their pitch and tone
the clutches of mind hurting to the bone.
Untraceable are the paths to no end
unable to soul unself and ascend.
She walks in silence, like a gliding breeze ...
drowned in chastity and flooded with rave
holding dear and tight her very beauties
denying all her gems and rubies.
Her powers disabled under the spell
the flame in wouldn’t break out of its shell.
Tempted to trace a humming call of fate
allured but reluctant to take the bait.
The strings of her heart lost their pitch and tone
the clutches of mind hurting to the bone.
Untraceable are the paths to no end
unable to soul unself and ascend.
She walks in silence, like a gliding breeze ...

Strength Beyond Strength
I pray that…
You discover your vigor and courage coming from within
That resilience and heart carry you in their eternal wings
That they give you the driving force in those darkest times
And light will shine and steer you pulling at the heartstrings
.
I pray that…
You find solace in knowing you are worthy of love and respect
That no matter how hard the punches have been you can still stand
Even when the pain has been much to bear something is there
And that the fighting spirit will be near giving you a guiding hand
.
I...

Save My Bacon
The sounds of echoes silently ring
anointing me with a good sense
to escape Satan's picket fence
then comes the breath of life
with a hoedown in the golden swing
to save my bacon
and bless the little Cheetos
anointing me with a good sense
to escape Satan's picket fence
then comes the breath of life
with a hoedown in the golden swing
to save my bacon
and bless the little Cheetos
