My flickering love,
My twitching eye,
My punchy effort,
My stuttering words,
My sadness,
Everyone's sadness,
I'm wondering,
Our Candle never wilts.


A stare of thoughts,
A distant star,
A parallel universe,
A focusing telescope,
A soul mate,
Another dimension,
Of our love,
Our Candle becomes a sun.


Your energy sparks,
Your teary eyes,
Your on my mind,
Your out there,
Somewhere,
Existing,
Never again extinguishing,
Our Candle.

6 days of work
On the 7th day you rested
Seeing all was good
In all you had invested

Took the hand of man
And gave to him the charge
The taste of freedom and
You his loving God

To ward off loneliness
Made for him a helper
Inside of Edens bliss
Paradise the shelter

With only one stipulation
Listen what you're saying
Do not eat from the tree
The only rule you're making

Listened to that snake
Lying in his hissing
Made the fatal mistake
He was just a henchman

**********

Eating from the tree
Who told you, you were naked
Sin has been set free
Paradise has left ya

Look what you have done
Kicked out of the garden
Hear the whole earth moan
Nothing's more alarming

Nothing now has been the same
Since the apple then was bitten
Think I'll give this poem the name
Let the festivities begin
I thank God there is a way out from all these daily festivities (MESS) in His Son Jesus Christ where paradise once again awaits His followers...

~*** for tat~
this or that
give and take
to the mat
throw away
bring it back
nevermind
hidden facts
make up for
what we lack
this or that
~*** for tat~
I feel most alive
Walking and gawking
In a graveyard.
Nice walk today.

Wait a minute buddy
Is this some sort of joke
No one told me this would happen
The moment I got old

That all my youthful vigor
Would be replaced with aches and pains
And that I would barely remember
My first let alone last name

And that all the pills I'm taking
Would be my meal replacement
I should buy stock in Advil
I'd be a millionaire if you know what I'm saying

Luckily I'm not there yet
Where diapers are a necessity
Guess I have to thank my prostate
Keeping the *** from running freely

And the hair that used to be
On top this shinny head
In my early 50's dug a tunnel
That now comes out my nose instead

Every morning when I wake up
I'm now wondering who, what, when, and why
Heaven looks a lot like my bedroom
When I feel like I have died

Guess all those old farts in the home are laughing
Over the wool they've pulled for fun
But don't worry all you young whipper snappers
Your day is soon to come

Yes someone somewhere is cackling
At this the cruelest joke
Though I find nothing funny
About me growing old
Clover honey sunshine o'er Sassafras rivers
Proud Martins sing for notoriety , full bloom-
white sugar , shivers in the afternoon pasture
Our last Raven of the hard day season
Roaster , stained glass color kinda holidays -
liquid Kildare clover valleys , euphoric July nightshades
