i'm toxic
i hurt everyone i love
maybe i deserve to be alone
people they build barriers lock their self behind

they just never tell you what is on there mind

keep it to them self hidden out of view

there behind there barrier hiding it from you.



maybe we could help if they just let us know

help them drop their barrier help to let them go

take away the wall that they built so high

tell us what the reason  and tell us what the why
WEATHER HAIKU

The days are scorching
And it’s just as hot at night
When will it cool down
         ljm
119º at high noon.  119º at 10 PM.  Cools down overnight to 105º  Yaaay.
KEY
The Muse in on Hiatus
so I’m left to
scrabble
amongst discarded words
and phrases
to see if there
could be an
undiscovered simile
that might unlock
the cupboard door
and give access
to all  the verse
that’s hidden there
    ljm
Who put the padlock on it?
A lump she is
A useless chunk
Of human protoplasm
A mind that can’t untie the knots,
Now neatly wrapped in silver duct tape
On a shelf just out of reach of devastated fingers.
Claw marks mar the surface of the tape
Evidence of effort spent in vain
To free the intellect
Now unplugged
And useless
As a rock.

This is what a minor stroke can do.
One two three
Look at silly me
Try with all my might
Never get it right.

I believe in love
I believe it is the brush that paints sunrise
On a dark and lonely sky
(Ls)
Written when the name I wrote under was Lori Spring
I worked hard for
Everything I got
And didn’t get.

I’ve been cheated
By evil hands
And friendly ones
With their fingers crossed.

I looked for love
And found mostly
*** and degradation.

I reached for God
But my fingers
Were too slippery.

I think I may have already posted this.  If so, sorry.

Good morning, Dear Wife,
The only love of my life.
The sun's not yet up,
I'll go brew us a cup;
So, stay snug in our bed,
And I'll bring it up
With a bite that's enough,
Till you're ready to rise
With those gorgeous green eyes,
And join me this day,
And all days I do pray,
Till we rise up no more.
Not quite Maya Angelou
