Mr. Ford Crosses the Bridge - May 6th
Dear Mr. Ford,
I’m sorry that I only met you in your last days
When you were ready to cross that bridge
I was told you were a hardworking,
Wonderful, caring family man
And that you needed some assistance
When your grandson asked if I could help
I was glad because you raised a good man
It was only a small gesture but seeing you there
On your death bed was heartbreaking
I had never seen the eyes of a man
Stare into my soul like that
I don’t know the pain you must have been in
But you were fading, slowly, fading ...
I’m sorry that I only met you in your last days
When you were ready to cross that bridge
I was told you were a hardworking,
Wonderful, caring family man
And that you needed some assistance
When your grandson asked if I could help
I was glad because you raised a good man
It was only a small gesture but seeing you there
On your death bed was heartbreaking
I had never seen the eyes of a man
Stare into my soul like that
I don’t know the pain you must have been in
But you were fading, slowly, fading ...

What do you think
WE are still going through the same situations now, that has been created by us and the government, by the form of pure separation, as if enough is not enough to continue. TO stand and tolerate the deepness of our the hurt and pain, that seems to be able to keep us occupied with the nonsense. Along with drama and destruction of massive form of real separation. 🤨Against you and me as a family, for the togetherness of real value of ourselves. FROM the past few years. When we had the family, structure of rebuilding our lives. For how many of us remember, what it was like when we stood...

Fathers and Sons: Love Redux
My dad wasn't wordy
I can't remember affection
He never told me he loved me
If he did, I don't remember it
Strong silent type he was
I grew up quiet
Till I started to speak more
Then everyone wished I'd shut the fuck up
My mom told me my dad loved us very much
I wanted to hear it from him
On my wedding day he said it
Collectively in a toast he pronounced his love grandly
I always wanted more from him
I wanted his knowledge, his craft
He's gone 20 years now
I'm still trying ......
I can't remember affection

I wanted to hear it from him

Daddy
I suspect that's what you want from me
stillness and resigned wait for your gaze
or the sound of your sinister breathing
when you're watching football on Sunday
when you fill your mouth with dirty yellow
irremovable, irremediable, intravenous
when you slowly remove the bottle cap
when you unpack bags of savory snacks
methodically, morbidly, histologically
you prepare and serve some sweet life
and so we listen to everything you do calmly
and so you feed me from everything you do
and so I digest everything you bring home ...

My Little Heaven
I wonder...
If I could live poetically...
For one day only..
Just 24 hours..
What would I do?..
Didn't take much thought actually...
I would become neurologically altered so that
My speech will falter bringing me that
Much closer to my beautiful daughter...
In her world of autism....
Where I would give up the norm and
Embrace a new form of talking...walking with her
As she TAKES me by the hand helping me to
Innerstand the more grand plans beyond this land
Let her do the teaching
And I'll do the...

thanks, son ..
and when he was just a kid
I took my son to wembley
to watch england versus hungary
he was never into football
but he was always there
for me ..

The Single Father
There is always guilt
floating in the waves
of the distinction
and the comparison
to the others
that successfully
maintained their marriages
can shade the day
with mixed feelings
I will get a lovely card
from my only child
and I never doubt
the genuine love
despite that phone
that often gets in the way
when answers to my questions
are greeted with a "what?" or a mumble
This life is very back and forth
two days off, five days on
from silence to energy ...

Mother of kings who only have love for queens
Sinisterly, wicked it would seem far from average, as we begin to indulge in this 😉 scheme,
Overtaken by desires of lust, as we rush into forbidden rituals, old traditions giving birth to new cultures other creations and such,
Refusing to surrender 🙏 or give in, an catering from a man's touch, only to be submissive in bed 🛏 other than that like 👍 a race track all bets 😉 are off!
Resisting all urges and engagements and arrangements, canceling all advances pursuing any further, for future entertainments,
Disciplined being in total...
