Still The One
Does practice make perfect love?
When we’re two imperfect people no less perfect for each other
Enchantments and apologetics of
All the ways that I try and fail as a lover
Words like paper weights outline my heart in ink
Trying to transcribe all that you mean to me
Interpreting these emotions too deep to convey in all I think
When your beauty is more than just what’s at the surface of all there is to see
More than just the girl of my dreams but the angel of my awakening
Our hearts are knit of a common thread into the fabric of a life...
When we’re two imperfect people no less perfect for each other
Enchantments and apologetics of
All the ways that I try and fail as a lover
Words like paper weights outline my heart in ink
Trying to transcribe all that you mean to me
Interpreting these emotions too deep to convey in all I think
When your beauty is more than just what’s at the surface of all there is to see
More than just the girl of my dreams but the angel of my awakening
Our hearts are knit of a common thread into the fabric of a life...

Quiet Hours
In the quiet hours of the darkness I lie
Contemplating, is this where it dies?
We promised to love, promised forever
What I should have done is say, never!
I cannot imagine what life would be
If I just walked away and let it be.
But I definitely cannot stay
To wrestle with this demon every day.
Sometimes its sunflowers and lilies in bloom
And other times I feel impending doom.
What do I do? It's so hard to know.
Do I stay, or do I go?
Contemplating, is this where it dies?
We promised to love, promised forever
What I should have done is say, never!
I cannot imagine what life would be
If I just walked away and let it be.
But I definitely cannot stay
To wrestle with this demon every day.
Sometimes its sunflowers and lilies in bloom
And other times I feel impending doom.
What do I do? It's so hard to know.
Do I stay, or do I go?

Habitual Dependence
Will you catch me this time if I fall?
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
The dream is crumbling
reality is a curse
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
The dream is crumbling
reality is a curse

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...

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!!!!!

Michael Stormed Out In Shame
Michael opened the bedroom door.
He saw Victoria naked with friend Peter.
Michael stormed out in shame.
He saw Victoria naked with friend Peter.
Michael stormed out in shame.

Seconds
She woke up in the middle of the night
maybe 4:35 am
she needed to pee
he then got the urge to pee
he waited near the closed bathroom door until she was finished
when she opened the door, he punched her straight into her face
she fell backwards into the shower glass doors
her body fell into the tub
she was cut severely on her leg and torso
blood was all over the shattered glass, tub and bathroom floor
a crime scene has officially happened within seconds
maybe she'll bleed to death, maybe she won't
didn't matter
he knew what he...

A Madam's Journal
April 2, 1939 in Dallas, Texas
As I sit here in the dimly lit parlor of Frogtown, my mind drifts back to a time when the scent of whiskey and the sound of laughter filled these walls. But tonight, after my work is done, I think back on the one young cowboy who stole my heart.
I can't help but wonder about him, the one who left his child for me to birth. Did he find the peace he sought back in Missouri, nestled in the arms of his wife? Or does he too look back on our time together with a bittersweet longing? Was I ever my most beautiful for him? Will I haunt his memory...

Gifts
I hear it in your stories
and in rare moments, I've witnessed it:
your gift --
and I marvel at the empathy
with which you guide families
through their worst moments
Never impatient, judgement at bay
Always respectful, giving space
as they cope
and grieve
and make decisions,
wrapped in the stability of your care,
feeling heard and supported.
I wish you could bring the gift home,
but I know it's finite,
and I know it takes its toll.
In weak moments, I'm envious
that they aren't expected...

Love In a Barrel
Decades ago a man was in love with a woman
he would do crazy acts to seek her attention
he was a daredevil
he's faced death numerous times
he's played chicken with trains,
jumped off bridges and survived the plunge,
climbed skyscrapers,
and even imitated some of Houdini's work
nevertheless he was crazy, but good at what he did
one day he told his girlfriend that he was going to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel
she told him you're insane
if you do this you could die and we'll never have a life together
his mind was made up and told...

Sweethearts Day
She was getting ready for their date
when she heard him pull into the drive.
It seemed like such a long time
but he was always home by five.
When she greeted him at the front door
he was grinning from ear to ear
holding a box of Lucky Charms
and a bottle of Henry Weinhard's Root Beer.
She said, "Just a minute,
I have something for you, too."
She presented him with a six-pack of Busch,
and a jar of salted cashews.
They laughed at their gifts
giving each other a sweet kiss
sat down on the couch and...
when she heard him pull into the drive.
