Don't chase after love, let it come to you;
That's how you'll know if it's really true.
When you're not expecting it to,
Love will arise.
Sometimes slowly (but surely) opening your Eyes;
Causing your Heart to rejoice;
Your Mind to numb from the glow
that seeps from within
And bubbles over.
Don't chase after love.
If not freely given, it lacks real value.
Just be patient; wait on it.
Live your life, be free.
Love will find you, just let it be...

Gone are the years of her youth when she
Cared about Justice and Truth;
Sought after Peace and Providence.
Drank from the spring of wellness amongst
Those she loved,
Deeply.
Gone are the tears and the broken hearted-ness
Of a love gone stale, and the
Joy that paled, in comparison
To what it once was
Just because they grew apart,
Eventually.
Gone from this life…
Finally free of the pain and strife
That once weighed her down,
And often carved a frown
Upon her face.
Something a ‘smile’ can now replace,
Permanently.

Jack had a wife and son who he loved very much
He got a job at the Overlook Hotel to maintain it from November thru April
He loved the hedge maze and learned how to escaped from it
He also always dressed for the weather as it got below zero quite often there
He was visited by mean and evil ghosts who wanted him to kill his family
He resisted temptation and invited d*ck over for some good home cooking
The evil spirits just gave up and went away
A good time was had by all
He still works this seasonal job to this day
The End

I,m going around in circles in my mind
Reminiscing, I found is blocking the bad
and reliving the fun.
Did i do that? Oh yes i did.
I was so young without fear nor cares.
But time goes forward and taught me
life is not always fair.
Now my circle is nearly complete
I leap over all the bad
to the child i was.
Re-living the dares, yes
a bit of drunkenness too.
I rock in my chair with tears, but of laughter
at the daring reckless girl i was.
I am going back there for sure.
Happy laughing, reckless, no fear.
What a way to start and now end
Opening the door and reliving those times again

All good things must come to an end
We can’t go tip-toeing along pretending
Things will get better when they won’t
It does really come down to character
Honesty will rule the day if you choose
Nothing short of that really gains traction
We can live in servitude to each other
Separate without any or all constraints
Or continue to be herding in new directions
We don’t even choose or ever aspire to go
What gives this dance the wrong romance
Is neither I nor you wanted to commence it
So lets just do the right thing and how
Walk away with our heads held high
Not romanticizing something unsustainable
Life goes on and so it shall too pass behind us

Day After Day as The World turns.
I don't quite know what it is like to be you but.
I'm not that far off to not notice your pain.
Which is something I have learned.
I did try but you far proved you weren't you.
This routine heartbreak could only go so far.
My limits are not to gain nor be intimate again.
No apology will EVER be Taken.
I hope you are shaken as it doesn't take much to notice.
When you beltch out the loud speaker you have spoken.
2 different Divorce announcements has been a blast.
The smoke is clear. That was Great!!! Find another Date

There once was a fat man who weighed 300 pounds
He accidentally hit an old woman with his car
Her father was a good man
So he gave the guy who hit his daughter a blessing
He touched his cheek and said "145"
Soon the guy was losing weight
In six months he was 145 pounds
He could eat anything he wanted to
He found the gypsy who gave him the blessing and helped out his family
With his millions he made it so the family had nice things and good food
They all shared many strawberry pies and lived happily ever after
The End

One night I had a dream
I couldn't talk nor scream
Out of a silvery pristine sea
I saw Angels dancing so effortlessly
Flying to and fro they had a greenish glow
Such a beautiful site to see
I had hoped they come to rescue me
Suddenly, a whirlwind of light and love filled my whole being and I was placed on a platform with circular light rings
I felt such beauty and warmth and visions of crystal temples shapes seeming so complex but, effective and simple
I began to wonder if I died and went to Heaven and suddenly, a voice in my head said unto me
"Beloved son of man how blind you seem to be if you were dead would you experience such ecstasy?"
I pondered for a moment about such a thought and yes it is all for naught.
Then out of a flash of light there a appeared such a beautiful sight
Hundreds if not thousands of beautiful angels so lovely to behold none young or old
I asked who they were and what they wanted from me
They spoke without a word but to my heart and mind in kind so gently
"Beloved brother of mine and ours we are your sisters and brothers and friends from another dimension and time"
" We bring you here from time to time to show your true self in kind"
I looked upon all I saw of technology and healing of the heart and mind a spiritual journey ever sublime
I wondered if I was still dreaming and an angel spoke to me, "This is your reality not the world you live in everyday, we just appear to you in a dimension that you can understand our ways
What you see of us is only an idea to offer you from your point of view yet, we are beyond your understanding and we see and know your troubles you hold so true
You may ask why we do not intervene but, quite often we do only to a select few
Your world is still not ready for what's in store to bring much healing and love and more
Open your heart to what you believe and let go of your fears to be relieved.
Unlearn your past experiences see them wash away
In our truth there is no past or future but, only today
Humans sing and cry for love without offering it and wonder why they still can't find their way
They want but, rarely do they give
it's kind of a contradiction to live
Nevertheless, we sit in another dimension observing your human contention
All we can do is sit and wait and watch you decide your fate
Yet, we forgive you for you know not what you do
We were very much like you and still learning and growing to see life renewed
Hence, go our beloved and teach with kindness what we showed you. Though many will still reject our truth and that is their choice
For they are free to have their point of view. As the saying goes don't shoot the messenger for one day the truth will be revealed to each and everyone of you.

Getting ever so close to the edge of darkness
I see it with great starkness
My beloved calls to me as she walks out from the foamy sea
Her beauty is beyond measure and truly a treasure
Surrounded but very much alone nothing but, painted faces molded like stone
I see the emptiness of my soul and the depth of black water waiting to drown me in a very deep hole
Many will tell me I dug myself into such a place
Hence, I am but, my own disgrace
Oh they say there is always a choice its just a matter which voice I am willing to hear that will wipe away my fear
The edge of darkness is just too strong and there is no ideal truth or pretty song that will make things right or wrong its where I belong
Pretending for just one more day of hope but, finding it still too hard to cope whats just one more shot of dope?
Oh how it feels to escape the pain I dont care what it does to my brain all that matters is for a moment to break the chain
The edge of darkness is near I can actually embrace it and have no fears I cant even recognize my tears all I hear is the ringing in my ear
Soon it will be over I will be on other side there is no more reason to hide
To those who know or knew me I say goodbye. I will fade away and be just a vapor of empty thoughts that once took space but, had no face
The darkness is near its coming upon a black shadow ever so clear. The knight upon a mare he rides upon a cloud as death is his shroud
He comes to take me to a place I have never been
All l see is a frightened little boy sitting alone among his broken little toys and a box full of his sins
Yet, who is his judge but, the fool he sees through the looking glass feeling like a stupid a** yet, he knows he is easily replaced by 100 other would be suitors for a bride to sit on their grace
The knight upon his mare rides through the darkness of his soul as he blindly rides to his demise as the shroud of darkness covers his eyes
He journeys through the dead of night high upon a hill to his delight. The valley below is full of shadows and sounds of cries and moans that shake the stones
Oft in the distance there shines a light ever so bright. There stands his beloved as she calls unto him come and take my hand that I may guide you to the light.
Walk away from the world you know and step into where you belong where silver streams flow
and pretty flowers all in a row await to feed your soul
On the other side of the edge of darkness rests the light of love and beauty with all its mystery.
If want you want out of the darkness step into the light and see all your cares and burdens wash away in the hope of a new day
The choice is yours silly old fool. You can ride upon your mare to the edge of time and space and still be lost in your disgrace or change the path your on before its too late
Dont let this world around you decide your fate old boy make a stand to stop playing the fool
Stop wasting your life on silly damsels who have no heart who play you like a tool
Your Knightmare is half finished and you still have time to create a dream if you believe
