I'll Meet You Halfway
With a hollow breath in a heavy world
Her faith is a fallen leaf in an early morning light
Love caught in a whirlwind
With a plead to never say goodbye
She cries
Please visit me
Please visit me
If you don't mind
Please comfort me
Look in on me
From time to time
I'll even meet you halfway
If you can't fly this far
For just one day
We'll rest this tired heart
Past the highest clouds
And the furthest star
Between heaven and our house
I'll meet you halfway
Dripping down her...
Her faith is a fallen leaf in an early morning light
Love caught in a whirlwind
With a plead to never say goodbye
She cries
Please visit me
Please visit me
If you don't mind
Please comfort me
Look in on me
From time to time
I'll even meet you halfway
If you can't fly this far
For just one day
We'll rest this tired heart
Past the highest clouds
And the furthest star
Between heaven and our house
I'll meet you halfway
Dripping down her...

Born Again
Your Eyes are Heaven,
I want to spend Eternity looking at them.

I’m in here
Don’t forget about me
Don’t lose sight
I’m in here fighting baby
Scratching at the surface of what feels like ice and I am gasping for breathe
Just. Trying. To. Breathe.
When will I be able to take a full breath in this life?
I’m in here.
Don’t forget about me
Don’t lose sight
Because of every fight
I blame myself
I am not me and me is not good either
I love you with all my heart
No matter what I say and do
Know that I’m in here
Fighting for you.
Don’t lose sight
I’m in here fighting baby
Scratching at the surface of what feels like ice and I am gasping for breathe
Just. Trying. To. Breathe.
When will I be able to take a full breath in this life?
I’m in here.
Don’t forget about me
Don’t lose sight
Because of every fight
I blame myself
I am not me and me is not good either
I love you with all my heart
No matter what I say and do
Know that I’m in here
Fighting for you.

"A" haikus
we avoid the looks
the arch cherry tree in March
near-by Arlington
anarchy aglow
pear tree to nowhere April
plane trip over lines
avail and anvil
our apple blossoms smear May
down in Wenatchee
appease the in-laws
June eats a plum pie by Lake
Coeur d’Alene
amends of the heart
makes the art of July green
over cherry trees
the arch cherry tree in March
near-by Arlington
anarchy aglow
pear tree to nowhere April
plane trip over lines
avail and anvil
our apple blossoms smear May
down in Wenatchee
appease the in-laws
June eats a plum pie by Lake
Coeur d’Alene
amends of the heart
makes the art of July green
over cherry trees

being married for so long
both a little more worn, but that’s good, each other’s favourite
old cardigan, in fact I could have sworn we were Savile Row suited

A Beautiful Day
On March 18th 2024
During the prelude to Spring
Shaniqa Rose (aka Daisy), and Luke
The prince, and princess, are marrying
The birds will be singing
The sun shall shine on you both
As you declare your love for one another
As you make that special oath
Wishing lots of love, and happiness
From all at Art In The Park
On this your wonderful wedding day
Such a fabulous beautiful lark!!!!!

Life's a bitch
A husband & wife living in Boston had been married for over 25 years. He faithfully visited his wife in the hospital everyday, where she laid in a coma for several months in 1985 with little hope for recovery. Distraught over the loss of his longtime companion, the husband committed suicide in their home. Hours later, his wife woke up!

I have simply sunken into a sinuous street,
Somewhere, swathed in an endless sleet,
Specked with soot, and
Lying stiffly, I gather scraps,
Remain still beneath the jittering lamps, and
Soundless amidst the fatalistic pounding
Of worn soles against the concrete
Across which sparrows scatter, and
Pick the flakes off of a pale mass.
Inside, you stir below an interminable sheet,
Perturbed by its immensity,
The snow, the settling,
The bag incessantly banging.
Smog hangs as heavily as my certainty,
Clinging to...

Pick the flakes off of a pale mass.

Sugar Festival Night
Sugar Festival Night
“Bob, why do you sit there reading news magazines all afternoon? Wouldn’t chatting with your beautiful wife be more interesting? You did marry me after all. And we are in Turkey. We speak the language. Let’s go out and mingle with the crowd.”
“Pat, I know being home while I am working at the base must get lonely. But I will make it up to you. Tonight we are going to the Sugar Festival.”
“I’ve heard about it from the general’s wife while gardening and being patient for your return as a proper wife should.”

Crossing The Threshhold
Feeling a little harried
Coz you're getting married
Who's to be carried
Across the threshhold
A bit of a ballyhoo
When you both say "i do"
So nervous you could poo
Across the threshhold
When walking down the aisle
It will seem like a mile
As you try to do it in style
Across the threshhold
Or a registry office is no better
The groom is going to get her
When he produces a french letter
Across the threshhold
But it could be a curse
If the french letter burst
Not sure who...
Coz you're getting married
Who's to be carried
Across the threshhold
A bit of a ballyhoo
When you both say "i do"
So nervous you could poo
Across the threshhold
When walking down the aisle
It will seem like a mile
As you try to do it in style
Across the threshhold
Or a registry office is no better
The groom is going to get her
When he produces a french letter
Across the threshhold
But it could be a curse
If the french letter burst
Not sure who...

The Lady Blue (Wedding Bells)
The next morning, I didn't get home until 7:00 a.m. I knew Joe would most likely be up having his morning coffee. I was afraid to go inside because I knew he was going to confront me about my staying out all night. I knew Joe would be upset but I didn't see what was about to happen.
As soon as I got inside, I saw that he was putting his belongings in a big box that he'd place on the floor next to his favorite chair.
"Where you been all night?" He asked, but before I could answer, he raised one hand to stop me, then said. "No. Don't tell me. Let me...

Relationships
What She Wants:
Lustful trickery
Betrayal embodying
Experimental
Love Not:
Dwelling not upon
After all of the head games
Drama nevermore
She Doesn't Know:
Throwing yourself to
Many men being trapped and
Always have your way
Frustration:
Your maturity
Dismal communication
Never seeing past
Signs:
Marrying decides
Why your eroticism
Understanding want
Happy Marriage:
