Faint light shines through ice hanging from the trees. Like diamonds it sparkles and twinkles. Streaks of silver show through and glisten in the misty air. Like precious treasure that brings subtle beauty if only for a little while. The world sleeps as fires burn bright inside. The ice must come to cleanse the world of the old and renew the life for spring to come and give rebirth. Thus the ice is a treasure indeed.

I'd like to meet
Real live women
To talk to
And have them understand

That it's hard to be thirty
And to be a lonely man

All I'd like is a companion
Who is a woman
Someone to care

So I'll go to my
Vietnamese barber
She will comfort me
There

Expectations are important
Too high and you'll be
Rather disappointed
Too low is just sad
Somewhere in the middle
Like many things in life
Is where your expectations
Should rest
Although what qualifies
As the middle isn't
Always the same
So
To each their own
I guess.

In the ole hippie days

We found that people had lost sight of god

But

They were not worshipping the devil

"""

Today

People have lost sight of god

But are

Also

Worshipping the devil

••

Most poets here

With their

Demand For Love

Poems

Are devil worshippers

Trying to scam the world


::


Come child

Move on


Out of the selfishness

Unto tomorrow

Every day
may not be good,
but there is always
some good to be found
in every day.

The same can be said
of practically anything.

If you can't find it,
make it.
Once it's there:
nurture it.
Anything less,
one may suggest,
could be aptly called
cowardice.
