‘tis but a thing she does The female assassin They say that poison is her weapon… maybe on occasion But that is a level she’s surpassing You see, what they fail to understand is that she doesn't take lives for vengeance ‘tis but a profession The beautiful, tantalizing female killer Her male victim’s obsession One minute she’s a runway model… with her devilishly sinful grin A smile so engrossingly enticing… full, red lips that cut across her face playfully Against her flawlessly peaceful skin One word for that…’killer’ Forbidden pleasures… blissful sin She’s taken out big names… maybe even one or two heads of state To dinners she’s escorted these men… and later on left them in their deadest state She walks through the front door, but when leaving she can scale windows Agility is her forte… ‘Man killer’ she is The black widow… In a red dress You may be reading this thinking you can never fall prey to her seductive tentacles ‘tis an argument I do not even wish to get into I digress.

Seductive Reaper...
On a summer morning, Monkey had awoken early, His eyes all sleepy, And his hair wildly curly. Swoosh, He opened the door, He had to use his mouth, Because his tail was way too sore. Slam, Monkey shut the door behind him, His friend Panda, Was called hungry, hungry Jim. Monkey was off to work, His tail dragging on the floor, He was sure to be back in time, To feed his family of four. Although monkey was guilty, He missed work twice, Monkey was confidently sure, His boss would be all nice. Monkey had walked to the glass, It said no dogs allowed, For sure he was a monkey, He walked in and proudly bowed. His boss said he had to leave, For he was not a monkey, But monkey had explained, He was very chunky. The boss escorted his out, Angry as could be, For sure he was a monkey, Can’t his work boss see? He decided to go food shopping, At the nearest grocery store, He wanted to get home quickly, So his family wouldn’t be that poor. Monkey walked to the grocery store, His feet were aching, It was 10 miles away, This was a big risk that he was taking. Monkey got there very fast, Quick as in running, It said only monkeys allowed, Wow that sign was stunning! Monkey had barged in, All the monkeys were looking at him, He was told to get out, So then he visited his old friend, Hungry, hungry Jim. When monkey had arrived, Jim had told him he was a dog, So Monkey left ashamed, In the new deep fog. Monkey had decided to go home, And Comfort his 3 young ones, He’d see his wife, Oh, he loved them all a ton. Hungry, Hungry Jim smiled, As if he was really, really bad, He decided not to eat him today, He saw him so sad. Monkey’s house Was just around the corner, It was a pretty color white, But most of the time, There was not much light. He had opened his house door, So lonely and ashamed, He was a monkey, He had claimed. Monkey flickered on the light, Nobody was there, His wife and kids left him a note, “You are a dog, we could not bear”. Monkey was so depressed now, He walked to hungry, hungry Jim’s house He had tiptoed in, And was as quiet as a mouse. Jim had caught him, And asked why he was not home, Monkey had explained, His house is just a comb. Monkey said his family had left him, Because he was a dog, They think I don’t belong, And am just a plain old hog. All of a sudden, The panda ate him whole, And the only thing that was left, Was his sad little soul.

From brown eyes to green, the date began I extend my hand to invite a handshake We both exchange an “It’s nice to meet you” We are escorted to our table Chosen at random by our server, but perfectly selected For the spot offers a phenomenal view of the coniferous trees below And the majestic mountains of the North Shore Our eyes meet again From brown eyes to green We sit and start conversing You are stunningly dressed and I cannot take my eyes off you Your eyes are locked into mine You must be really into me just as I am into you Our server interrupts, we place our orders Your every move makes my heart flutter, From how you flip the pages of the menu To how you rest your elbow on the table with your hand on your chin, Smiling sweetly at me I’m having an amazing time You tell me you are too Dinner goes by in a flash, the sun has fully set We drive off through the winding road and into the city traffic I haven’t kissed you yet But I want to After umpteen intersections and two cities We arrive at your apartment I walk you to your door I turn to face you From brown eyes to green I lean in for the kiss A quick gentle one I wish you a good night But you want more... From brown eyes to green You lean in and kiss me with fervor and passion You ask me if I want to come in, but I’m hesitant to answer From green eyes to brown Your intense, desire-filled gaze pushes me to say yes Another episode to the evening begins..

Anna entered the room like a butterfly, gossamer to all. Her face told a different story. One of sadness and hurt. She wore only the finest silks and seamed cuban stockings. All eyes latched upon her and followed every step. But no real man ever approached her. No saviour could get near. She wore none of her finery, the choice all his. A trophy bride, sold like raw meat in her childhood. It was normal in her village, her adolescence stolen from her. Anna's delicate neck held an overbearing sapphire necklace. It was overkill in every way. All for show, all chosen by him, all for him. He entered with his cronies as though owning the club. The way he thought he owned her. Thought indeed, for there is always a price in ownership. Hours past champagne and fake laughter abounded. Then she stood up. Immediately challenged! She wished to go and powder her nose. Naturally escorted, god forbid she made outside contact. But she was not watched within. Minutes passed then... The scream. She had left, Anna had escaped him. The anger on his face ! He had no control, lost face in front of them all. For Anna, oh beautiful Anna lay sylph like wrapped like a cloud in her white dress, its silk floating in a pool of her life blood. She had left, she was free. Now her face was different, white, ashen but at peace. Free.. Anna had left.

Anna has left
I see a pattern Everywhere: Circles and globes (three dimensional circles); Shiny rings of fire. Countless manifestations of this same shape. Star-spangled galaxies wheeling through the sky: That half-globe dome. Earth, in circular orbit (more or less) around the Sun, Escorted by the Moon. Days give way to seasons, Repeating every year. Groundhog Days becoming Groundhog Creations Perhaps. The list seems endless: Hopkins’ dapples, Planets, craters, cyclones, anti-cyclones, sea currents, ***** apples, oranges, nuts, potatoes, Teardrops, heads, faces, eyes, mouths, Holes! Coins, bin lids, and plates; Sunflowers, daisies, pansies, Rings of mushrooms, Circling birds of prey, A cat curled in a circle, Like a foetus. Life as we know it Is a circle And a cycle too. Birth, Death, Blossom, Wilt. Reincarnation? Renewal? Clock-faced Time itself. Eternity might be a circle, Infinity the same. Maybe even God, Some way. Perhaps we still are building God, For Him or Her to travel back through time Like Doctor Who To Create The Big Bang, And form this expanding Universe, Thus taking us full circle. Or maybe the Universe will fold back in upon itself, Producing yet one more Big Bang, In an endless cycle, Of Big Bangs, Amongst this ever circling Multiverse.

Circles
Sitting in a restaurant in cottage country. with my parents, my friend,my sister and her two friends. I'm eating these miniature boneless chicken wings I feel a pain in my chest, I take a sip of my ice tea through a straw And sit there holding my chest and closing my eyes -- In my head is a jack hammer just pounding My whole body feels pinned down but also moving like the jack hammer -- Laying on the ground I see my father leaning over top of me I am on my back He is pinning me down My vision blacking out and head still pounding "Call 911, she's having a seizure" The only thing I can manage to say is "no" "no. No! no! NO! No? NO... no no nonono...." And the only thing I could think of was 'I don'y want to be a seizure person' Epileptic is what i meant to say, but the word didn't come to me. Tears are rushing down my face, terrified. I can only hope this is a one time thing. As I am helped up by my mom and escorted to the bathroom I see all these faces looking at me Faces of sympathy That is the worst feeling ever. Being stared as you are leaving the room after a seizure

Seizure
I was born of a fisherman, fine and faithful Faithful to God and the sea, faithful to my mother and me I am a daughter of the sea, sensible and salty To the sea I am impressed, there is peace that permeates Perhaps it is in my bones, Portuguese explorer’s blood When I breathe the salt air, its spirit deflects despair This love derives from my father, this love affair with saltwater This man of the sea fosters respect, but also tends to overprotect Perhaps the sea prepared him to be practical and prudent Undulating waves shaping his vision, dreams escorted to fruition For these dreams I am grateful, for the breath of the sea The lust the ocean produces in me The love from his heart, the love from the sea Floated over the waters so lavishly so lovely I'll send him a kiss across the Atlantic I hope it lands neatly on his cheek I hope it reaches him, quick

Fisherman's Daughter
The ancient church of St James. Lead-edged windows, each portion given stained glass faces. Sunlight rippled on those faces, each face a tale to tell. Sheltered from the elements, donated from above. Safety under a covered roof of green lichen. The bell tower shouted its cheerful peals. Bridegroom proud. Standing in regimented battle regalia. Epaulettes almost glowing with excitement. Matching his shiny shoes. As he waited for his bride that day. To make his life complete. He knew for now, deep in his heart. That very soon he would depart. Church bells rang, excitedly, as if missing every second beat. His heart was missing more. Glances up. Between the external aisle, the now laying; no longer living, brothers under standing stones. A picture of pure innocence in her ivory wedding gown. Promenading through the church yard to catch her wanted man. Escorted proudly by him, by the father of the bride. Into the church they drifted upon ethereal glow. The vicar bade them welcome. After hymns and prayers of three. Holy man he gave his blessings. Pronounced them man and wife. As the following morning sun she rose, forbade the joys of married life. He wanted not to wake his bride. He left  just a bunch of flowers, mauve and blue, forget me nots. In his heart he hoped he'd see her soon. Before the wake of summer's moon. For off to war he went. Both knew he had to go. Proud man departed for war, with rivers of silent eyes. (C) LIVVI

LEAVING
When I was a child, the children went out for Halloween.  As we headed out the door, my father just had to  be seen. There came a sound from the window upstairs, it was my father with the microphone.  I want to thank God; he was on his own. He said, "Now Hear This!  I'm going to send my children out to night.  Do not ****** their bags, and do not fight." As we went to collect our candy, I got a lot in my bag.  Only to see my large feet neighbor snatching my candy, making my father mad. He escorted me across the field, where my neighbor lived.  He was not going to leave her house, until she was in a position to give. The girl's father apologized to me and my father, on that Halloween night.  Her father made her give me all of her candy she stole, from everyone in sight that night. By, Sandra Juanita Nailing

HP Management (Paradelle Poem)
"I believed I was right," he says, then leaves. Not escorted by guards - no cuffs in sight. Free to make his next after-dinner speech and pick up the fee. Some may complain, protest that this dog, unsleeping, may not lie but others think "He did what he thought best, "God knows, there's too little faith these days!" Say it was politic. Say it was a compromise, the lesser evil. Say even that it was unwise. Admit that one man cannot feel so many deaths and so should not try. But do not fly like a flag a security of faith, a surety of right that ***** a nation condemning countless howling thousands to a voiceless end. If you still cannot see that you might have been wrong then you are unfit to call yourself human.

In Praise of Insecurity
I am a physician.Last fall, I had a very interesting conversation with a patient who is a trucker. I asked her if she knew anything about deep underground military bases, and then I played ignorant to see what she would say. Without further prompting, she informed me she is an independent contractor trucker, driving 18-wheeler rigs cross-country. She said the bases are real and are located all over the country, "especially under the mountains out West". She said one of her main contracts over the last few years has been with DHS. She said there are underground roads running all over the United States, connecting the underground facilities. She said she has personally delivered many truckloads of supplies to the underground facilities. For each DHS shipment/delivery, there was a stack of non-disclosure forms about (by her description) six inches thick she had to sign. DHS would attach a tracking device to her truck for each of these shipments and monitor her truck's every move. She would be told where to go to accept delivery for each shipment. In each case, she would be escorted by guards "with machine guns" away from her truck, so she could not see what was being loaded into her rig. The truck would then be locked by a large lock with a ring 'as big around as your finger", which had to be torch-cut off at the time of delivery. When she would make deliveries, often within underground facilities, she would again be escorted away from the truck by armed guards, the lock would be cut off, and the goods would be unloaded. She said the only shipped goods she ever saw in these DHS shipments were stackable black plastic things that looked like coffins. She told be the gov't is getting ready for a collapse, which she told be she expected might happen as early as late 2014. She also told me she thinks the gov't has just about everything is needs stored underground, because the number of DHS shipments has been declining. I asked her if she would be willing to have lunch with me and tell me more. She replied, "yes", but afterwards when I contacted her, she had changed her mind and would not talk further about it with me. Another pt of mine, whom I saw within about a week of this lady, is a local trucker, but he told me that he has lots of friends who are truckers, and through them, he said he had learned that there are "thousands of miles of underground roads" running across the country, connecting underground gov't facilities. He had just recently, in fact, heard among his trucker friends of a shipment of frozen meat being shipped to one such underground facility, totaling four million pounds of meat.

My companion has no clothes to speak of - no odours, no form, only shape from being born from flat ground - transparent in the round; an open guide that pulls you from the inside to a new plane not seen before - straight thro' any solid door; where is this place I've been escorted to? Encouraged and gently led a long way above my head seems familiar a a long time ago - the pace of life here is very slow, timeless airless, a pale hue - my Fair Isle pullover must be a clue; seem smaller now everyone taller just as ghostly friends dance It appears that I've been given a second chance

LET THE SPIRIT TAKE YOU...............
I am told that my anatomy is the sheer academy of my lack of sensibility and that my sense of autonomy is just my way of rebelling against my own skin. Because I was born in a body that is just a little too small to contain such an opinion, and so this must be just the remainder of some book I read, right? I am told that at times my mouth traces outlines larger than my hands can, and all I know is that my fingers stretch to try and reach the cord that turns off the light on my porch so that I can find the streetlight shadow puppet. Because I am at odds with the lightbulb delivery of my best friend’s idealism and my body’s realism and it’s all a sense of alchemism when I’m searching for altruism. I’m told that I am too big for my body, or “for such a little girl, you’re very smart,”. I used to start in the plus-size section of stores, only to be escorted to diminutive floral prints and capri pants. I am still mistaken for a lost child at the airport, I am still advised not to go out in certain areas after dark, I didn’t realize I was small until I wasn’t listened to.

Pure Winds
From the seas he returns. Our ****** feet, reunited, grind into the same grimy ground He has returned threatened and escorted He is the inescapable praying prey, cornered by im/mortal forces I/we, the I’m mortal, the stunning Gorgon mask with The dummy serpents squirming and lusting to be unearthed, We march to bring justice to love and *** We protrude the fiery blood red tongue at his feet. Take flight, exhale, touch the sun X marks the spot in the center, the bullseye, the end The flesh creates the reality the squealers shriek and unbolt the doors to reveal the contaminated stains of truth

What is misery? Why it is the darkest pit of our hearts and souls. We are dragged towards it, Grasping hopelessly at something to hold. Almost as if Achlys herself is lurking about Pulling us further, never intending to let us out. No, rather, we are pushed towards it Forced to accept this fate by the rest of them It’s ironic, in a world where we are told to be free We are still forced into a fatalistic indoctrination Believing all the while, that we are going to be fine When in fact, we are going to be escorted to self-damnation With a spear in our back and a smile on our face It’s sickening, isn't it? This twisted image of the human race. We lie and steal and cheat and **** each other, But for what? What is the purpose of this self-destructive behavior? It is the false salvation of our misery, Our false belief that the misery of others is Evidence of our superiority, Providing an escape from our own melancholy

Misery
Over the holidays, I was watching Lisa’s sister little Leeza, she’s 14. She has a rebellious fashion sense and a joyful innocence. She’s still fearless too, and on-God, I hope she never loses that. Too soon though—the disco’s coming to town—the world’s coming for her. It’s the same for all of us, I suppose, but in Lisa and my cases, covid shut it all down. It’s a rite of passage—the shoes, the bodycon dresses and the makeup. Those carry negative connotations, I get it, but there’s an excitement too, about finally getting to dress like an adult—a woman—in one of those bodycon, cut-out dresses. I know the pressures on women and their bodies, but at her age, it's not all stress, cattiness and comparisons—it’s just innocent teen fun. She and her posse can take hours just dressing and doing their make-up—together. It’s probably the best part of their night. Leeza’s dad (Michael) saw the little group of teens, all dolled-up and launched, like a SpaceX Starship. Pacing the living room, he quietly opined to Karen (her mom), “I don’t want her going out dressed like that.” Karen was right there with him to cool things down, “No, *** at her age, it’s about self-expression, learning and girl bonding—these connections are really important in the girl-world.” I’m not worried about Leeza’s physical safety. These girls are watched over and gently curated. Their every movement is orchestrated and security escorted—hell, Hamas couldn’t get to them—much less some gropey boy. There’s just this new awareness these days of how unhappy some people are—and a lot of them are teen girls. I wouldn’t want to see Leeza mired in the sad, brain-draining social media pressure and self-esteem traps. Teenhood is scary—I was feelin’ positively parental. Then I looked at Lisa, and I was reminded that they’ve done all this before, and she has a big-sister, role-model too. . . Songs for this: Good Time Girl (feat.

Star glass and light.  Emotion engine, dream machine. This is my Lightcycle!  With just thought I can catapult myself across the galaxy!  I remember home and the fields of blue bonnets and Indian paint brushes.  I remember looking up at the stars from Earth.  Wishing to one day see them.  But nothing is more beautiful than that blue star from afar. Earth shines and sings sapphire among the blackness we call space.   But as I enter my solar system I no longer see her.  I quickly thought stream home and find my planet is covered in a sick gray shadowy nebula.   Something is here and is trying to take away all the souls of the Earth!  I try and break through with my Lightcycle!  The star shell fills with my anger and despair!  Reds and tornados made of light dance within my Lightcycle! But to no avail the nebula seems to counter act my will!  I close my eyes as tears flow.  My lightcycle cries colors on the inside.  As I open my eyes I see a cloud within my lightcycle that is made of all colors!  It then clears as I see the harp with light strings the Dragon Secalos gave to me.  This was the dragon I escorted across the galaxy!  The harp then materialized in my hands and I played the melody of the star serpent!  I cannot begin to describe the melody to you.  It was like my dreams were playing for me.  From afar I could see a blue star growing and growing.  Only it was no blue star at all! It was the dragon Secalos!  He was even more massive than before. His wings shined Star Earth blue.  He must of been the size of our moon.  He looked to me with glowing blue eyes!  He spoke to me with his mind.   "  I will help you in thy darkest hour as you helped me."   The dragon then flew toward our sun and completely back in an instant. He then emitted a beam of light that was all colors toward the dark gray nebula.  The dark grey nebula filled with colors and seem to almost dissipate.  The beautiful majestic Earth seem to almost smile back at me. " Thank you serpent of the stars!" " Thank you rider of light. "
