Coddiwomple ( after Theodor [Dr] Seuss Geisel )
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Despite what you don’t know!
Don't worry now -
it's impossible to lose!
Hello! Hello!
It’s time to go – don’t doubt yourself!
Jump right up and step on out!
You may not know
which road to trust - but
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
You’re Coddiwomple-confused!
Being so little so long!
But time has come to choose!
Is “Right” the greater arrow?
Or “Left” the lesser narrow?!
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Hello! Hello!
This is...
Despite what you don’t know!
Don't worry now -
it's impossible to lose!

SOLITUDE OF NIGHT SHADE
From my mind as I stop look and listen to the tranquilness that surrounds me as I stare up at the ceiling above as my mind drifts with each, silhouette of images creating shadows as night whispers through the night air revealing a calmness even to my soul of my being.
For as I become so very mesmerize by this atmosphere within the dead of night as its mere existences captures, the very deepness and depth of my...

Thalassophile
I’ve always lived near the shoreline
grew up swimming in the sea
though I prefer Gaia’s Forests
Her oceans I hold an affinity
Collected empty seashells
danced upon hot sandy beaches
played in coral pocket wells
snorkeled to see how deep it is
I must be a hopeful romantic
lover who delights in salted seas
appreciates the calm & violent
oceans’ stormy personalities
Yes, i
almost always lived near
a seasoned waters' edge
played with hermit crabs
tried to catch jellyfishes

Expressive Possessive Connections
FINE WINE
Sips of pleasure
Relaxing on the beach
The washing ocean waves feels good to my feet
The sun is setting in the distance
Love sailing on the wind by a gentle island breeze
Another sip of wine to kiss the passionate moon
Rose Petals to the sheets as we please
LOVE OR LEAVE
Delicate Whispers
Tender felt kisses
Caresses to my skin
Emotions for him
Laying with her
Threesome are not unheard of when love is a blur
FATE OR DESTINY
In the present
Karma in the past
Detour of life much better ...

Sweet, May She Be
May she always come to you as vivid as a dream; nearly so, that you almost cry Bringing forth a rattle within your bones; stirring and shaking you so
Blessed be her voice; hovering about you as if clouds over treetops high
Ever should you be a ship lost at sea; she - your anchor from a wretched undertow
May you feel ever so wondrous - as if being at the summit of the greatest mountain Cherish and nourish her so; as she brings the scribbling thoughts...
Blessed be her voice; hovering about you as if clouds over treetops high
Ever should you be a ship lost at sea; she - your anchor from a wretched undertow
May you feel ever so wondrous - as if being at the summit of the greatest mountain Cherish and nourish her so; as she brings the scribbling thoughts...

As Is
I may be missing a couple of buttons
My zipper might be missing some teeth
But my fabric is soft...and warm like a
sheath
I may not be flashy nor shiny and bright
Not even close to the latest
trend
But I’m comfortable and welcoming...like an
old
friend
My zipper might be missing some teeth
But my fabric is soft...and warm like a
sheath
I may not be flashy nor shiny and bright
Not even close to the latest
trend
But I’m comfortable and welcoming...like an

tiny flowers of hope
twirl in the energy...
free-flowing with the spirit of wisdom
allow yourself to unwind with the breeze
tiny flowers picked from an obliging field
are lovingly wreathed then placed round your wrists
by your little ones who adore you
their innocence reminds you of your lovely wife
because you see her in their smiles
warmed at the thought of her beauty
she centers you bringing you back to Earth
when you wander too far--
traveling with the dogs of war to the dark spaces
singing songs to caress ...
free-flowing with the spirit of wisdom
allow yourself to unwind with the breeze
tiny flowers picked from an obliging field
are lovingly wreathed then placed round your wrists
by your little ones who adore you
their innocence reminds you of your lovely wife

warmed at the thought of her beauty

Yesterday 2:50am
Yesterday 2:50am
And Thus They Must Go
I am the past and they are tomorrow,
I am the east therefore they are my west,
I am the yesterday fading away,
For they are the morning to my sunset.
They are the arrows and I am the bow,
And so they go from me, forward and forth,
Launched into the future with projection,
To a time and a place I call True North.
They are a part but don’t belong to me,
A present bestowed upon me and so,
As time goes by they move going onward,
Tomorrow awaits and thus they must go.
They’ll be renewed over and over again,
Working on...

Breakfast
I woke up to breakfast in bed
Kisses on either side my head
Wife kisses my lips says to even out
Berry muffins, Eggs, watering mouth
Girls climb beside me here yall have
My wife looked at me kids before dad
Shakes her head cool i fixed more
I grab two cups coffee i pour
These are the things i truely adore
She sings a love song with her broom
Celestial yells get a room
Allayana laughs to no end
Haters beautiful baby sing it again
Kisses on either side my head
Wife kisses my lips says to even out
Berry muffins, Eggs, watering mouth
Girls climb beside me here yall have
My wife looked at me kids before dad
Shakes her head cool i fixed more
I grab two cups coffee i pour
These are the things i truely adore
She sings a love song with her broom
Celestial yells get a room
Allayana laughs to no end
Haters beautiful baby sing it again

For The Living
Trail-blazing evolution
paint-balling poetry onto blank pages
words grass-hopper along the lines
linking concepts in novel pictures
magnetising Stephen King
for summary execution,
pirate’s treasure-trove
buried beneath crackling sands of DUP
NaPo hosting stars A+
with exemplary encouragement
masterminded
through calm psychology
as Magnetron spots anomalies,
Bloody Mary walks the spittle-talk
and an architect stretches designs
to incorporate pencilled portraiture
of history’s heroism with...
