you could burn me at the stake
use me as a dish rag
so I write on the topic of ***
my critics disagree with me
I'm still holding my own
holding hand to the pen
won't you be my faithful friend
until the end
I will raise the bar higher
seeking love's flamed desire
giving cadence to the simple
had to pop my pimple

Mario love's everyone
takes his time having a bit of fun
has music in his skin
fan the flame of reason
attracts himself to positive people
very often you will see him near the church steeple
has written over 4,000 poems to date
but this is not his fate
learns from the best
sees life as a test
strong belief in Jesus
it's in him he rests

Mario is filled with happiness & laughter
loves his many fans world wide
he has nothing to hide
for he can visibly see the other side
when time will be no more
when things become a blur
he will exist as a vapor then am no more
read his many pieces
Has been diagnosed as both psychophrenic & bipolar
yet he will not let that deter him from his passion in writing
