Honey sweet lips
There are lips to die for

There are lips to fall in love with

There are lips that I long to hear whisper my name

Your lips seem to mesmerize me

Your lips;

they are as sweet as the sweetest honey bee
Women are a completely complicated specimen of uncertainty

Women are a puzzle, a challenge that has always brought out the best in me

   a mystery

Just when you think that
you have them all figured out

Women... ..

they will show you that you don't, no doubt

After 52 years,
  I do

Of course I can't
   speak for you

I know what makes them tick and I know what makes them grin

   You just have to be lucky enough for them to REALLY, let you in

I think of you
I wake up and

  I think of you

During my morning shower

   I think of you

Sipping my day's first cup of coffee

   I think of you

Driving into work

    I think of you

Many times throughout my work day

     I think of you

On my drive home from work

      I think of you

Eating that day's dinner

      I deliciously think of you

During my ending day's hot relaxing shower

       I think of you

As I lay in bed trying to fall asleep

        I think of you

And during one dream/fantasy per night's sleep

        I think of you

I think that it is safe to say that I am always thinking of you

     And while thinking of you;

You have never disappointed me

     If kismet were cupid?

Your lips would never be lonely

    either set of them

Reality of ******* lived out through fantasy

    Then... ..?

You would always be,

        thinking of me

My blood that rushes to my ***** must get tired of me

      thinking of you

A "poet's" rose
You are a rose.

... you are a rose

    unlike Axl.

Your thorns,

   they only stimulate
every man that breathes in
your unique bouquet.

As I insert myself
into your petals
of velvety paradise
I realize that;

you are the color
rose that has
always escaped me
but... ..

no more!

Vultures like you - "Dr"
So;

phew... ..

after skatey eight
rounds of chemo
and radiation that
has burned me worse than any encounter with the sun ever could.....?

Thousands of dollars wasted
and debt
while making my
remaining days
on this Earth
an excruciating
24/7 theatre of
unnecessary,
expensive pain!

And after all of this?

I have "Dr." Chen with absolutely no bedside manner
'matter of factly'
tell me that... ..
"we can not do anymore to help you".

Okay;
I get it, I am dying and I can handle that,
and I knew that but... ..

Help me?!?!?!

You didn't "help me" you... ..
you
greedy,
selfish,
ignorant,
POS
devil you.

But hey;
guess what?

Sure, I will concede my death
is near.

Thanks to you and your high priced concoction of death,
my death has
only been
accelerated.

But me?

My life,
my life is only beginning once
I leave this den of iniquity and
you... ..
"Dr satan".

While you?

Ha.
Haha!

You?

You will be burning in a hell like you have never seen on this Earth.

Every day....
Every hour
Every minute
Every second
of your
'after life'.

And me?

I will be chatting it up with Jesus
and asking for your forgiveness
because well... ..

that's my
beautiful soul
and heart
looking out
for vultures
like you.
If you're going to like anything from me?
I hope that you enjoy this truth.

but

                   step firmly

My Wednesday drive in
A fawn

   sprinting south away from
        a cyclist pedaling south

    A fox slyly
leaks out from the
     roadside brush
in an attempt to
       cross the road
from west to east
   but his timing is off and heads back to the brush.

       A woman in nurse's attire jogs   north quickly, to get to her bus stop for the bus I see in my rearview mirror driving north towards her.
   She makes it.

  Driving south on union road before
   the walden avenue intersection a cute
  racoon lies prone
in the middle of the road facing south....
       that little fella
didn't make it.

Give it to Him
Life...

    hmmm..

where do I begin ?

      Where.... oh -

where do I end ?

           It's joy

  It's pain

              It's a blend.

     Sometimes a bully....

          life can be.

                Never back down  -

Stand up to it fully.

                Don't quench the Holy spirit

       Fan it like a flame -

           Let it burn inside you

     Never allow it forget your name.

                Life is hard when one is down

          But if given to Him -

     Your sadness can be overcome

He will lift you up from enemies ground.

        Trials ...

              Life altering -

Life changing scars upon your mind

         upon a heart that's faltering.

          Nothing is more powerful than Him

     Not you....

              Not even the enemy

With Him, so many lives everyday newly begin.

           When life has you at the brink

         Don't sin....

                  Give in -

Give in and give it to Him.

Arms of my angel
With wings on your shoulders all dressed in white,
your angelic garb and color, they fit you just right.

In the distance a harp, it plays a heavenly melody,
you close your wings to protect and fully envelop me.

Dancing on the clouds like two foolish men,
laughing and smiling on our stairway to heaven.

I reach for a star, no care if I fall,
you smile at me, now you can have them all.
Therapy oh therapy,
what shall thou mean to me?
Will I be attentive at all,
or posture myself with a sneer of scrutiny?

Shall there be some type of revelation or epiphany to
bring me to my knees?
Can I arrive at being the man I once was, unbroken,
the man I again long to be?

From the gallery of peanuts will it be judgement free?
I am not approaching a burning bush,
you certainly are not HE.

Will this therapy set free what feels like a tormented soul in captivity?
Can this fog be lifted enough;
provide a path that I can finally see?

The price if not can be steep,
eternal darkness may well be the fee.

  Echoes shaped like a knife

        Winds of Oz

     Twisting landscape

Soaked bandages and gauze

             Eerieness after calm

The smell of gas

The terrible,
tragic fallacy of the last hundred years has been
to think that all man's troubles are due to his environment, and that to change the man you have nothing to do but change his environment.

That is a tragic fallacy.
It overlooks the fact that it was in Paradise that man fell.

"A service will be held next Saturday from 11am to 3pm and her burial will be on Sunday" your cousin continued.
"We hope to see you there" your cousin finishes.

Never to be seen on this earth, ever again.
Death was announced over a voice mail message.

To play the part of a marionette is forever;
manipulation strings long gone almost to walk on air.

Tied to wooden x's you dangle,
acting on impulse they divulge your feeling.

Frayed strings, shredded,  near broken,
this fantasy is free,  the cost a cut down tree.

In the distance a sunrise under the canopy of a clever smokescreen,

the edge of the page,
sail beyond the horizon,
leap from the end of the ledge,
sink into the ocean,
then sink deepest...
beyond.

let's slip away
from the rim of the cup,
slide along the edges of ice,
tumble into blades of grass,
roll with the flowers,
soar beyond the reach of the sky.

let's find parts of ourselves,
nobody sees, hears or thinks,
burrow deeper into a new skin,
move away from what has been,
crawl into a place, so far away,
the past will never come around.

     Forever flawed

    My fleece is soiled - ***** unlike the Lamb

             My feet don't walk upon water

           The blind I can not make see

        I'm just a man, a father

  Growing each day like a mighty oak tree

                    Yes I am flawed, yes

      Whilst I may be soiled of sin

           Indiscretions many I confess

I simply pray to not visit those again

         Sure, I'll trip on sin every once and again

                               But....

              Jesus understands the places that I've been

                    He knows my heart is pure

   My flaws are many, but with Jesus I endure

         Wounds are made to heal

              Scars are meant to last

  My imperfectness is a done deal

                   But forward I look without forgetting my past

Candle never lit
I try to live like there's no tomorrow for me

    I can only enjoy friendships for what you think they may be

       Like Tim McGraw once sang

"Live like you are dying"

           Tomorrow is never a sure thang

          He also once sang about being "humble and kind"

                    Embrace the tranquility in that, the world's drama....hmmmmphf, just nevermind

   Never shy away from telling someone your feelings because...

       There may not  be a tomorrow....complete with no floors and no ceilings

               Living the rest of your life on what could have been...

  Is a slumber in a forever winter's den.

       On the line, go ahead and lay it

Once gone, don't regret the candle you never lit

As the heavens cry
We awaken

  We stretch and scratch

Off to the shower unclothed and naked

     Throwing on socks that don't seem to match

          Drinking our coffee with a slice of white toast

Classical music softly playing in the background

      These are the mornings I've grown to love most

        Some rain and it's serenity....one of my favorite sounds

               Birds foraging the worms and bathing in the puddles

A morning of tranquility, a morning without life's troubles

   Listen for the "swoosh" as the morning traffic drives by

          Sit back and absorb it all as the heavens continue to cry
