it is much better in being right about being wrong than being wrong about being right

happiness for the vengeful is added from the suffering of another, turning a cheek reduces suffering by half, add love to both sides of the equation and happiness is doubled and suffering equals zero

being alone and...not liking yourself, is less than alone

i don't tell you everything but i can tell you anything and that my friend makes all the difference

short on bread
to the market
fill your cart
short on cash
to the bank
make a new start
short on love
withdraw all you want
from my heart

animals dream... but, hopes and dreams are purely a human condition, how much happier would we be without the let downs

on the glorious day
when i love you, you say
in some super human way
in sky i hold the sun to stay to stay
the clouds i will not allow gray
tomorrow tomorrow i keep away
i will live in only today today
for fear your heart will betray betray

complaining to someone who lacks empathy is a fruitless endeavor

im better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow

you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them say thank you

a woman's love can very easily tame the beast that she created

apathy is root on the tree of hate and its fruit sorrow

you cannot ensure or predict your legacy, so worry not once about it

if you boast of your generosity,
honesty, or holiness

your words hold no weight

the eyes and the nose
live in constant fear
the chin and cheeks
know their time is near
the teeth are scared
the danger quite clear
the tongue....careless
the lips....cavalier

WORDS punch harder than fist
stab deeper than knives
crush hopes and dreams
make up 100p of the lies
maybe they should be banned

love does not require change
love does not need acceptance
love does not ask for favor
love does not hunt similarities
love just does

no leasons are learned from easy

my heart is so full of love
it has stretch marks

i pondered why everyone looks down at me, and so i looked down and found nothing and realized i must be at the bottom

ive been trying to sell me
to myself and others
that im
happy
attractive
funny
smart
likeable
AND
truth is
im not very convincing
maybe truth is
im not

some ears listen for need
some listen out of greed
some only to find fault
some to issue verbal assault
some to form negative reply
some to pass the time by
some with loving care
some only to find the err

humans may have achieved so called intelligence, even if it is artificial, let us all hope it has some artificial love

in the race of life, death gives you a head start, the trick is...never look back

enemies are as easy to find as dirt, friends, true friends are a gem

the greatest hecklers have never stepped foot in the batters box, the greatest critics have never stepped in the arena, the greatest complainers have never been servers

the love will unfold
the treasure you hold
the miracle you mold
the future foretold
the blessings behold
the reward pure gold
the gift a thousandfold

every love needs a test for what we have learned and what we have remembered

i need a new word
for this feeling i have
____ is far to weak
for the job at hand

contentment, for some, is the most illusive condition ever

birth and death are the same point on the circle of life, some circles are bigger than others, some are more colorful, some are jagged some smooth, fill the center with the color of love and gratitude

this poem was so much better over on the 502 error side of the universe

one.....alone
estranged in mind
two gave one another
three arrived unbalanced
one afraid of alone
conspired with two
and left three belittled

age and time
thieves in the night
cannot steal your beauty
locked in my mind

live a life that would make a great movie, one that makes happy tears, it will be your only rerun in the end

if you like
the fresh rabbit
posted on this venue
take a trip down
the rabbit hole
of my minds
bon voyage

my boss gave me a big compliment today, he said that i could withstand a huge amount of abuse

it isn't my fault that i get blamed for everything

trust is the most difficult thing to achieve between two people

why do i feed the darkness
why does the hurt taste so good

it is easy, 9 of 10 communications are wants or complaints...be a helper or listener

life's book
begins with
a new book smell
chrisp clean paper
with sharp edges
but soon enough
a few dog ears form
some for good
some bad
and a crease or two
a doodle in the margin
of a first love
pictures
of travels far
first cars
birthday cakes
and love mistakes
pages turn
much easier now
yellowing cracked
and faded
binding weak
the story unfinished
yours....mine
for we realize
only others
can read
"THE END"

the fuel of my heart is the simple touch of your hand and the mileage i get from a hug is amazing

The alarm clock and the wall clock and the watch all attempt to tell me what time it is...but it is always NOW

a new approach
for the thousandth time
no more mister nice guy
i tell myself with confidence
and then my love of people
washes over the emotions
and my goofy self returns
like an old familiar friend

I will have
  no worries
    no pains
      no mistrusts
        no anxieties
          no problems
        the day after
      I die

God is the world's radio station, Jesus is the deejay, and the Holy Spirit is the frequency, tune in and be blessed

you never see it coming when those feelings lock on and hit your heart like a love missile and blast the pain away, at least for a little while

the future is the fog of chaos crashing into us at the speed of life and fading into the blurry past

a bus ticket is cheap
a train ticket probably more
a flight can cost a heap
but at the end of the ride
the ticket "home" is free
either going down or up-side
