Foundation

To be willing
to put a crack
On solid foundations,
would I not be
Too dumb, too stupid,
too shallow
To hurt a loyal heart, proven
To be resolved, faithful, true;
Free spirited
yet long-suffering
Willingly facing
challenges with you?
Loyalty! Honesty!
Dedication!
Much too rare these days
While a few nice words and
Fleeting moments of glee
Floats everywhere
Like a hailstorm
Bombarding us daily
out here in cyberspace!

Mama Quotes

He wouldn't be hankerin after fancy deserts if he'd take more of his meals at home.

If she doesn't know what she's missing, she can't be missing much.

Tell her to keep the cats and get her boyfriend fixed.

You could look up disgusting in the dictionary and there'd be a picture of this.

I never go any place where they have more forks than food

About this poem:
I got lucky enough to see Vicki Lawrence in concert on November 5. She did half the show as herself and the other half as Mama Harper from the TV show Mama's Family. She said it was the first time she forgot to wear her glasses. I spent ten dollars the first time because the woman told me all the seat were sold out. Finding out later that she was confused and there were plenty of seats, I had to purchase two more tickets for 70 bucks and give the standing tickets to a friend of mine. At least I got three other people I knew to see her.

Afternoon Delight

"Unsolicited
Afternoon Delight
Unwanted unwelcomed
s*xual harassment"
to an elderly man
Of around 80 years old
at church!"

By an acquaintance
not sweetheart
At church
"Part II Dad"

Then the day came
I asked Him to wear the roses shirt
Boy the women were after him
Like humming birds attracted
To the nectar of those roses on his shirt! They said,
"Bill I can almost smell the roses fragrance!
Your shirt is beautiful!
I really like it a lot!
You look really sexy!"
He continued to wear the shirt and stated he had received many compliments that they liked the shirt and shrugged his shoulders as if to say I don't understand how the world was changed to this?

Later he told me Mrs Smith
Really Mrs M_ F ___L__d
Had been hitting on him
They had attended the same church for over 20 years
He said u won't believe what she has said to me?
Later she kept
Asking my mom and dad over for lunch after church. I had always
Known her as polite content w smiley twinkly eyes: he told me she wants us to come over for lunch
That it is already in the oven and will be ready to eat after church
That she won't take no
For an answer
what do u think my dear daughter!
I told him It would be ok
I'd be with him
and we should be ok.
I was unaware of her proposition words due to the fact that he was too much of a gentleman to voice her unwelcomed words! After lunch was served and eaten she propositioned him right in front of me for
afternoon delight - desert
in the bedroom and it would only take 20 minutes!!!
She said she had gone 20 years without
being a widow
And she needed it!
OMG
Those were her words will never forget how his chin hit the floor,
Thanked her for a good meal, prepared my mothers
Wheel chair
For a Quick exit
His face was in shock and disdain with raised eye brows! He couldn't get out of there fast enough
Like he was in the hot seat
Relieved to exit promptly!
Like he had a bite of bad food! Ugh men don't want to be treated like a sex object either just like women.
My mother was in a wheel chair
We both did not like the comments
And she was ignorant oblivious
Cold of how cruel that was to a man that had been taking care of an invalid woman from a bad car accident that broke our hearts! Let alone the discomfort and embarrassment: my dad had only known one woman with scruples manners & true love! My dad had gone without for over 12 years
But he surely was not desperate for loveless romance of the physical
Mechanics only
With no love nor mental intimacy!
We didn't care for her company after that: blunt no courtship
He wasn't an available bachelor!

Car accident
His Wife for over 12 years after the accident that haunted him daily
Like a rerun playing in his head of what could he have done differently (2 teenage boys of 12 & 14 on bicycles had jumped out of the woods and into traffic crossing in front of him he was going 35 mph)
He had two choices hit them and kill them or slam on the brakes w all of his might the latter flipped the camper truck on its right hitting my beloved mother in the head from their side mirror hemorrhaging her brain but not provable can only be detected at autopsy to view the brain after death.
My dear gentleman father was so loving dedicated it broke my heart
To see him sacrifice so much
For a lifetime with his family
He went beyond the call of duty
He gave 5000%
Three times I put my life on hold: jobs & money
Put everything in storage
Including my car
And joined them in their world
Would do it again
I dearly love them both
All that I love
and I adore them
I give them credit for
Because of their love
They initiated all the good
Music art piano cello
The arts of plays painting photography movies history
There is an Art
to everything we do
Including the Art of touch
Massage
Leo Buscela author knew of tactile affection
Patriotic culture
With a loving kind person
We all have tender hearts!
Peace to them

There was a girl

There was a girl

In her dream
She dreamt her lover came
and took her for a ride
in the countryside
They drove way up to the top of the mountain
It was a beautiful warm perfect balmy summer day
He pulled over to the edge of the curb
To just visit with her
A sign said
This is not lovers lane
We don't promote teenage pregnancy
Keep moving!
Violators will be prosecuted!
A cop tapped on the glass
And said what are you doing up here?
Didn't you read the sign
Keep moving
He said I only wanted to show her how beautiful
It is up here to show her the panoramic view of the lake
And picturesque view of the mountains
Keep moving he said
Your not allowed to park here
This is my beat
I don't allow it
He reached for her
She said what r u doing?
He said how should I know?
It's your dream?
Haha

About this poem:
This was a mostly a
true story from many moons ago
Up on a mountain top
Somewhere over the Great Lakes of Michigan
Looking down into a valley
Just two fully clothed in a car
Enjoying a day
An elderly dad of around 80
showing a daughter over 35 an old building broken down
That the youths of his day square danced in
Some is fiction some truth
The sign 100% true
The cop was there w his words
But they were not lovers
Just dreaming
Of yester years
Like aprox. 30 Years ago

Hot stuff

Hot stuff story
Can a relationship last being separated
Knew a man that was a
Very
good craftsman
Good with his hands
One of the good ole'
Country boys
Superb dancer lover
Great Rhythm
From his smile
To his cowboy boots
And lovely jeans
Lovely legs to watch dancing
Accepted a job out of town
Left his girlfriend at home
He was so good at his craft carpentry
From the
*Int'l Brotherhood of Carpenters Union Workers
(IBCW) or is it Construction Workers?
Not (IBEW) Electrical Workers
Of top Caliber in his craft
Rarely found by a boss
Top knotch he was in all ways
In his personal life:
Very Luscious lips
Good kisser
Mmmm ...
*In business a Superb Asset in the work force
That his boss kept on asking him to stay longer
And said it would only be just days or weeks longer
Meanwhile he would call home and say honey
It's only gonna be a little while longer
Days turned into weeks
Weeks turned into months
He needed the money so he stayed
His woman said I need your kisses
Your good lovin'
Warning him she could not stand not having him
She was going crazy
She kept warning him
He told her it was also driving him crazy
To not be able to hold her
Hug her touch her caress her
Kiss her luscious soft lips
She was not the kind of woman u ever leave alone!
She warned him one last time
If you don't come home
I'm leaving I won't be waiting anymore
I've had Enough!
He knew she would do what she warned of
He came home after 10 months and found the home bare empty his heart sunk
To the ground
He fell to his knees
Head hanging low
Downtrodden to the core
Of his soul
seeing an empty house.
He didn't know where she went. She disappeared
Couldn't stand being deprived of his good lovin'
Much Later with a new woman
he moved into a duplex at night
And heard the bedroom noises through the thin walls
It could only be her
and to his surprise knew it was her
only she sounded like that
The next day he went outside and saw her
He had a distraught look on his sad face
He couldn't smile if he wanted to
Know way could he muster
Up a smile
But inner old hurt
She saw him
And then heard his bedroom noises with his lover
The following night
They were both crazy with just walls separating each
other - can u imagine the disheartening heartache?
He was going crazy with desire for her!
Within a short period of time he had to move out or lose his mind his sanity!
He was use to being on the receiving end line before
The passion and memories of fire were churning in his soul memory box he couldn't take another nite
Or surely he would die with desire
Flames so hot burning with desire too much to endure
Another being her lover
And Never ever having her again
Pure Agony of defeat!
Just the thought of her
Was excruciating painful
Mentally and physically
She's alive but he could not have her no more
Ever again
The love of his life!

Worship What Matters

This body will turn to dust
There’s nothing left
We can do no more
I’ve given it my best
So many high points
Not much room to spare
What gets the best of me
Every time beyond compare
A smile that greets me warmly
A hand when help is needed
A cocky smile all the while
Is better left conceded
The body will drown
When we’re cut off from air
Do we still do what we dare
Sometimes beyond compare
That delicate act the first time
I rode without training wheels
Down the somewhat smooth sidewalk
In my memory banks reveal
A time when I could feel
Such Joy ! Such Warmth !
Everyday is just a moment
Time will travel on
I just give you my greatest
Blessings of all time

summer's end

summer goodbye
next year we'll fly
she told me...
when leaves turn to gold
and the whole world gets cold
and snows be..

there's a scar in my mind
to kindness I'm blind
I told her..
but her warmth is a tile
on the roof of her smile
and shoulder..

on a dripping bathroom
a bathing costume
that holds her..
in a sea made of tears
and turbulent years
that scold her...

so come on home
come on home
you don't have to
blindly roam

just come on home.

I saw you today
in the usual way
by sleeping..
your two eyes did glow
from a stain glass window
just.. peeping

and your stare was bridge
transversing a ridge
that froze me..
and you called my heart on
telling me to be strong
like you'd be..

so come on home
come on home
you don't have to
blindly roam

just come on home.

FAMILY BONDS.

On one of those days, you tend to cruise
Doing chores, just the ones you choose
Stress not a factor, taking your time
At one with the universe, all is fine

Trying to keep warm, though outside
The scene is still, no nature rides
On a breeze, this dull winters day
Thoughts of family, stir you today

Long awaited wedding, across the world
Hope for sunshine, as their day unfurled
Over oceans and land, loving thoughts unite
Dreams shared together, unique and so right

Messages and photos, will tomorrow be shared
Thanks to the internet, between those that cared
Yet today it's just thoughts, that bind you as one
And dreams that the day, is warmed by the sun...….

Trapping

I remember going down the creek
I was in the back and Dad was in the front of the 12 ft boat
He would set the traps for the muscrats and I would write down the location
R for right side of creek, L for left side of creek
Sometimes I would write something else to identify the special location
75 traps took about eight hours
The next day we would get the muscrats and occasional mink or raccoons
Some would have to be killed with a wooden club
Most were drowned by the trap pulling the animal down and drowning it
Then it was up to 34 muscrats to dry off which I did and Dad would skin
Then we took them to sell in a big white truck and Dad would give me 200 dollars
I used this fur money to buy Christmas presents
This lasted from 1982 to 1986
Each year was about the same amount
