So just for the craic come over to visit your auld poet buddy and I'll help you trace your Irish ancestry. Don't mind the poem dear, that's just the type of romantic Irish clown I can be. You'd be very safe with Mick.
A few extra pounds
A few extra pounds weighed heavy on her mind But her electrifying smile was one of a kind The other girls in the office could swish and sway They thought slim and slender would win the day But their pride was hurt when that man walked in A

Your God
I spent a good portion of my life believing what I was told to believe. Someone help me find the truth? I will believe in the God who speaks with me. I will not hold court with riddles and history. If I am to believe in a God, it will be the Living God. It will be one concerned with my existence. It will not be an ancient sovereign who is beyond my reach. It will be He who Cares and Touches my Soul, Not the cold and isolated, distant Father of the sinful Church. I AM WORTH KNOWING- SHARE YOURSELF WITH ME.
HO....HO.....HO!...........lol
I BELIEVE!!!!!......xxx
I love you…
Note: [‘I love you…’, All gurus, all religions, all of the spiritual paths tell us that this is the most transformative phrase in the universe… Why then do we not use it every chance we get? Recently, I came across a group of people who live, and I mean really live this dictum, I love you… They end their emails and telephone conversations with it, they hug and kiss strangers and tell them, I love you… I promise you, I’ll never forget the first time a guy said ‘I love you’ to me, and even more amazing, was that I reciprocated and meant it… Wow, what an unparalleled experience… I still find it very hard to say ‘I love you’ to a guy…, but, I’m practicing… I am Hellene(Greek), but born and bred outside of Hellas(Greece), I will never forget the first time a male fellow-Hellene kissed me on both cheeks as he greeted me, I broke out in an embarrassed cold sweat, it was always a warm glow and sheen, though, when an attractive young female Hellene greeted me that way…, so, yes, the concept is ancient, but, there’s something dramatically different about the way this group I referred to, does it. They do it from a place deep inside themselves, a place which recognizes that we’re all One! Further, they’ve come to this after a lot of study, meditation and discussion… And, no, they’re not the hippies and flower children of yesteryear constantly high on something, No, they’re educated, somber, responsible family men and women and even children are picking up on the love vibe…]
I want to die
not literally die just find her and collapse in her arms for the night.
my crazy psyche.
There's a craziness inside me, I'm afraid to let out. It provokes & disturbs me, Sometimes I need to scream, out loud. It's not a danger to anyone, It's just a voice, I hear. A voice without reason, That I cannot share. Sometimes the voice t

The Really Really Short Version of the Bible
I tried to write this as a cliff notes version for someone who had never heard of the bible. I left out one of my favorite stories. The one where the little girl asks for the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Mark 6:14-30

TWILIGHT
An old woman, who lived in a hollow part of the valley, climbed to higher ground, to stand by an old gate, and watch the gold, or pink hue of twilight, thrown out across the hill, which she loved dearly, sometimes while strolling of an evening, id met her there, and we muzed, to while away an hour, and watch the gloming. the poem Twilight, is in her memory, Babbie Johnson, may you rest in peace and stillness, of your beloved Twilight. auld wans, a local expression, meaning old women
