the dying in us all
i realise too late
(for youth and childhood)
the hardest emotion to feel
the thing i always fought against
and that which kept out all
was love, forgiveness.
how i imagined killing you
so many times
of making you afraid
as you made me
when round your own son’s neck
you placed your hands
and held him fast across the bath
the tap running, running.
i thought of stabbing you to death
of breaking your skull with a chair
and feeling pleasure on
the consummation of that act
approaching sensuality. ...

A Farewell
Finding true forgiveness
with the past has restored my spirit”
- Elisha Harden
and once those vultures stop picking at the bones
they fly away looking for new carrion
guilt tends to be the same way
until it realizes there’s nothing to pick here
so just carry on
carry on…
letting go of the past
maybe one of the hardest thing to do
whether looking for the answers or absolution
it’s a difficult path to achieve peace
even if we are the villain in someone else’s story

Rembrandt's Return of the Prodigal
A father stands embracing now
his broken suplicating son,
embodying within his grace filled
outstretched hands so softly laid upon
the shoulders of his prodigal
an avid wondered welcoming,
his face
a portrait of the speechless joy aroused
at the fulfillment of a fervent hope
too long denied.
Rarely has a fondling touch,
a countenance,
conveyed so much
of full forgiveness of a patriarch’s abandonment.
And all the while
the scowling older brother of the ragged penitent,
then standing,
fingers...
his broken suplicating son,
embodying within his grace filled
outstretched hands so softly laid upon

Rarely has a fondling touch,

Quiet thoughts when you sleep
Last night under the crimson black covers of the night,
post letter of thoughts mailed in their opinions each rigged with a bouquet of grenades sensitive towards emotion,
consciousness sweating at the touch of the letter ready to deliver a final blow to this latters hope in ashes of the future,
fingerprints imprinted on a scale model of a heart playing poker with fate asking whether today do I lose my essence,when I dip my skin in the pond of change,
In truth change is married to meaning a couple with roots that amplify all sorts new order
In the soul, ...

it must not go unsaid
It must not go unsaid.
they were charming people who understood my concern
to have an ill wife who needed care more than
an old pension can bear was to invest with them in
a scheme that out great dividends
An investment where my uncle's son was the facilitator
what else could go wrong, his skeptical heart
sensed a new spring and leaped in the hope of a new
dawn, free of the struggle, which bill to pay today
When the time came to harvest the award, they
asked for more, much more than he could offer
He shut the door,...

Scare to step out
Where do you see thyself 🤔 in your life and world. 🌎 THAT you need and want a good woman, for a good man and good man, for a good woman. YET in these days and times 🤔 I wonder what happen, to each of us as the years silencely, pass is us by, within space and time. ⏱️ FOR SURE IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT 😞 that it looks like that love does exist in the world 🌍 anymore 😔 For sure more than anything that I've been dreaming about is what I want and need 🤔 not what I don't need or want in my life and world and dreams. 💓...

Good luck
I thought I was dreaming when my computer threw out a mass of information, mostly about things of scant interest, but when it said I had three thousand pages of words on WordPress, I looked up the WP and it was true
My fingers are bigger than the rest of me, and so are my feet, which are bothersome and blue with diabetes, but my hands are milky white and my fingers have short nails in a way perfect for one who writes poetry but not able to sell anything
But soldier on for my benefit, it keeps me sane. Had I been sporty, I could have played golf like Trump. I...

News and friends
She sends me photos of people I don’t know, not one or two but too many; why should I take any interest in people smiling at the camera
What is flabbergasting is why does she sends me photos of friends she has on another continent, from a place I do not wish to know
She is a tiring person into healthy things, tea drinking, and beneficial cacao from a plant in Burma, either that or she has few real friends
We read of a mountain village where dwellers have learned to live in peace with bears that roam the streets after dark, looking for sweet food

Heartstrings Can Be Troublesome Things
It’s the innocence about the times that I miss most
The way they used to look up
The little voices pulling at the heart
When I used to drive by that church on Washington
There was a moon at the top of the steeple
His little voice would cry out “the moon daddy, the moon”
There was some comfort in hearing that
Yet I knew deep down inside as time would go by
All that would fade away
But that was years ago…
It was as we walked through the museum
That his silence pierced through me
His indifference growing
That...

Light
Lift me up,
Just to break me down,
Wipe my tears,
Only to push me to the ground
Soulless eyes,
Bleeding into my life,
Web of words,
Spun into a beautiful lie,
You don't love me,
You said you wished I would die,
You lift me up,
Only to slam me down,
Back to reality,
You've taken my crown,
How can I get over this?
Your love is like a bottomless lake,
And I can't swim,
You laugh at me while I drown,
Broken promises,
Empty words,
Constantly questioning my self worth,
You mock...
Just to break me down,
Wipe my tears,
Only to push me to the ground
Soulless eyes,
Bleeding into my life,
Web of words,
Spun into a beautiful lie,
You don't love me,
You said you wished I would die,
You lift me up,
Only to slam me down,
Back to reality,
You've taken my crown,
How can I get over this?
Your love is like a bottomless lake,
And I can't swim,
You laugh at me while I drown,
Broken promises,
Empty words,
Constantly questioning my self worth,

Cyber Truck
The tariff, we should not take it too seriously, it can be negotiated and reduced
Trump likes to make deals, so give him an offer and see how it pans out
Rember this in four years, a new administration
Might think of it as a bad idea and scrap it
The cyber truck is a failure, because it is not a truck the way we think a car should look. Nevertheless, I accept one even if damaged by fingermarks or scraped by idiotic left-wing housewives who are possibly sexually frustrated
