Heroes
Fanatics fixed their eyes upon The screen to cheer their team The mood there in the air was tense Tricolor seemed out of steam The clock was counting down The time was drawing nigh Doomed to lose and head on home Bid Russia their goodbye An errant shot deflected out Gave them one last chance To score a goal and prance about Show off their famous dance From the corner, the ball soared in A hero rose above Mina smacked it with his head And won his country's love England shocked to see the win Snatched right from their grasp Colombia delirious Successful at last gasp And thus the game was sent along Into the overtime Two periods were played to nil Two teams full in their prime Penalties would now decide Which team would advance The locals glued to their tvs The nation in a trance Falcao scores! Kane as well! Cuadrado, Rashford too! Muriel then strikes one home Tricolor up three to two! Ospina blocks the next one Hypes up the frenzied crowd But Uribe hits the crossbar And the silence echoes loud Trippier knots it up again We're down to final shots Bacca fails to get his through Past Pickford's valiant swat Fate rests upon this final kick Well placed with perfect spin Just past Ospina's outstreched hands Dier seals the win The cafeteros reel from shock No sign of jubilation But still the crowd, crushed in defeat Show their appreciation Colombia eliminated We give them all a hand And though their World Cup here is done I'm now their biggest fan

Adios Cafeteros (an ode to the Colombian national team)
Black is white and white is red, Whose to care when we are dead? Yellow is pink and pink is blue, Has the hatred gotten to you? Is it silly to enlarge the pain? It's just a skin color just the same; What some people think is real, Is imaginery madness, that's the deal. If the same eternal God almighty, Molded us all and none are shoddy, Why should we decree it's wrong, When someone sings a different song? Where the tree roots take deeply hold, Makes children think they only fit the mold, Parents shape and tell them horrendous lies, So out they go to make others suffer and cry. Unlearn this and that along your way, Determine your own future, this I say, Remember that shades of colors are grand, When the muriel created we all share and understand. Can't we hope and pray, this is so, We all are color blind, don't you know? To live and love by actions and deeds, To save humanity by planting these seeds.

Color Blind
He said he couldn’t believe he was flying He said that it was the best feeling ever He said my breath on his face was exhilarating He said my golden hair had never been so within his grasp He said my radiance would leave his cheeks redder than before He said he wanted to hold me in his hands He said look father I can almost touch her He said he would never again be able to stand on solid ground He said or forget seeing my face this close He said Don’t worry father, I’ll be fine He said Just a little higher I remember his father’s face I remember seeing his feathers fall off one by one I remember him slipping through my fingertips I remember the splash I remember a beautiful girl, crying on the beach I remember her calling out his name I remember her hair behind her: As she jumped after him, off a cliff I have been waiting a millennium, to forget I would have liked to catch him It would have only scorched him worse

Murdering Icarus (Response to "Waiting for Icarus" by Muriel Rukeyser)
Flawed Hypothesis I know she was the one she had the most to gain reaching down to touch the fallen soul bleeding from the mouth at the bottom of the stairs she would inherit the winery she would now be rich have it all to herself she had revenge in her heart he had stolen it from her family but the wine master seems strange very nervous for an innocent and his mustache looks crooked I don't think it's real Neal You're right Sherlock and what about that boyfriend he could marry her if she inherited that slicked back black hair something is not right there the way his lip curls what about that store magnate wanting to purchase his land and that scar on his right hand smooth talker if ever there was his suit must have cost 2 grand maybe they all had a hand but I still think its Muriel those tears just don't seem real to me not the way that she should be so I am thinking it is her for me Gomer LePoet ...

Flawed Hypothesis
Muriel, when  our eyes first met and  your name  rolled off my tongue with a fine ring, felt, I was charged with your sun-filled-sea-radiance from inside out just the cadence of a name has an unctuous something! I've never known that  before, just saying it evocatively few times, I felt touching your heart; a golden thread did bind us then.

Her name, her name, just enunciating it a few times, a bonding came alive!
Muriel, it’s been forty-four years and I still think about you everyday. I met you in the rain on the last day of 1972, the same day I resolved to **** myself. You were the **** store employee wearing a chartreuse shirt. I was, of course, the naked thirty-something with a few good teeth, unafflicted by any social diseases. You told me I had great veins.

FOR MURIEL (Lines from Craigslist Personal Ads)
The Artist wandered further for whispers carry their weight in stone, his eyes worn following the Moon for in his deserted Atelier, spiders spatt cobwebs and threadbare floors empty. Gone was the  idyllic image of the cherry blossom that daintly settled on the ground for now it collects over a canopy where rogue cheeked maidens gander . And the memory of Muriel, his muse who danced foolishly into the fire, returns. Wherewithal can we ever measure the true value For she was not guarded, stubborn even, against those denizens the way of the World being evil and the remnant of the Flemish cloth she wore laid out alongside the stone wall. The flicker of innocence ruptured A brush stroke never  rendered.

The Lost Muse
A red-headed sprite With a deep love for all things music I offered 2 years to the gods of brand communication Only to discover a passion to question everything Springing into the world of harsh advertising I still retain my love for ambiguous alliterations Paired with a glass of single malt whiskey and some Chinese takeout I’m excited for this new journey into the Universe of Planners

Muriel
Do not tell me It does not exist Do not dare me To cease To dream I have seen Paradise From above Now right before my eyes I fall in love A kind of blue That is unreal A moment so pure Only happy hearts can feel Leaving footprints In the sand I deem We are one with the sun Dear Paradise That is ours Dear Muriel and Remy That made it ours We leave But not unchanged Paradise Island On your shores, Our love for you Forevermore remains.

Paradise
our lives are now a                                      taboo. we didn't ask for this. we didn't ask for anything.      but then isn't that just how this                         funny, little                                   life                                           works? my existence is now a fantasy:             I am walking in a dreamworld. thick, black clouds of melancholia hang low over my head, though there is not really a true cloud in the sky. what does this all mean? I am searching in my innermost depths        for some answers.                          fire I feel the great heat collecting in my small heart,           this circle of fire.      *Oh, Elizabeth!      Muriel's been missing,      Won't you help me              find                  her?* we are dancing on lost graves.

taboo
"Will you love me for fifty years?" The young girl asked beside the tombstone. "Of course! I've loved you a whole week already, haven't I?" And suddenly his hand was placed on-top of mine, and I looked towards him like glitter. Under the arches, the school children watched the couplet conjoin as they face each other in bliss. The newlyweds and likely lads throw their flowers as they walk on the mud; puppy love if you ask me. "Do you kiss boys, Muriel?" "Sometimes, if he's charming." "Well, aren't you frightened?" "Oh, why should I be frightened? It's quite nice when you get used to it I would say!."

Around The Rose Garden, Daniel.
Maybe I left you baby? Maybe I went for **** Maybe I,m just sick of acting off our rags. I ended up at the nearest bar some people were playing pool. The barman was acting suspect i sat down on a stool. I bravely attempted the crossword while really not giving a jot. Four letter word from the heart, Do I love you? Do I not? I lied that i needed **** and cowardly left you to your pain. I walked the quietness of the river and inhaled the rain soaked grain. Maybe I left you baby, Maybe I went for **** Maybe I,m just sick of acting off our rags?! I sauntered past interflora another cute *** reminder. I did not call you once. My head was on spin dry binder. When i left the bar that day i finally walked away. I knew if I returned to you' You would assault me with your say! I would nod on time as usual and yes babe every line. Lying again, Never talking And pretending love is fine. Maybe I left you baby? Maybe I went for **** Maybe I,m just sick of acting off our rags. I met a woman named muriel she found me sleeping in her car. She invited me into her place and poured a welcome jar. I am never coming back now! This time it is for reals. No more one for the road, Crying with alien faces and pleading sentimental deals. No more worth it last hugs or blagging short notice shags. No more chatting **** and pretending to go for **** Maybe I left you baby? Maybe I went for **** Maybe I,m just sick of acting off our rags.

****
That’s all I have, said Muriel, The window, the sunlight, the View of the city, the smell of The room, the hardness of the Chair on which I’m sitting, Jack’s last words before he Croaked, his final letters to Her, hidden in a box beneath His shoes and suits, and the Photographs of us on our Honeymoon where the smiles Were and the laughter which Didn’t last, and his record Collection which I hated and Will probably sell or destroy Or give away to any sucker Who’ll buy. This is all that’s Left: the memories of summers, The nights of love, the lies, The cheating, the making up, The echoes from walls of his Reading aloud from the books He wrote, the unforgettable Time his daughter turned up Whom he didn’t know he had And didn’t want and who left And drowned herself by jumping From the bridge like Berryman Did the same year and almost The same place and I remember Jack’s look of disbelief when He heard the news, and this is All I have: the scene and the Sunlight and the moonlight And stars and last time we Made love on the bed in this Room and sighs and moans And the long cold afternoons.

THAT'S ALL I HAD. (2010 POEM)
From New York City, spanning across the globe And into the hearts of millions of fans Redefining humour And pioneering sarcasm; Sarcasm against which all future would be measured! From happiness to uncertainty From 'sup to soulmates To being there for each other And Ohh Myy Godd! Here's to showing us all What it's like to grow up And be ready And to pivot until you fit in Here's to making us laugh and cry And journey along one hell of a roller coaster To stay sane through ups and downs of bein' a 30 year old grandma Cheers To a not so much a kook Mon To a reformed Muriel To a responsible Greene And cheers To Phalange for all the quirkiness To the mental Geller fighting for his true love To Ken Addams for that Europe story! Thank you For the virtual sea-saw ride For showing us the true world that ***** And Yet having coffee is all we need to stay put.
