Dreams of kings and courtiers
before the heavens
circular does the sun course
on its axis the universe doth spin

There's a moon in my window
I hear crows of vanity
from an early morning c*ck
should I sleep or rise?

Oh but I rest!
indifferent to your nature
O Universe,
'tis true
I pass the days
in trivialities
while you hold
magnificence
in your hand
and down through the ages
visionaries and sages
I see
sunrises for strangers
travel as you will
fair waifs and strays

but the more we tried, the more we get hit
could it be, not hard enough
building this country and what's for
well, to be slapped harder, to find places
to go incognito
detriment is at his best when you can't
do it better...basta! canallas!

Love is not easy to be done
Love need time to develop
Love need patience
Love need attraction
Love need respect
Love need generosity
Love need truth
Love need trust
Love need honesty
Love has hardles
Onec Love Is Done
Than Love Is Forever

I used to work at Hardee's
I marveled at the girls who gave great customer service
Even to those who were rude at times
I wonder if these trying times have made customer service go down
I got some bad customer service this morning
I wanted eight chocolates picked from the counter
She wanted to give me a box, which is not as fresh
I told her about three times I didn't want a box
Till she finally realized I wasn't giving up on my original request
I left there pretty steamed, but I got what I had asked for
I see this petty treatment all over
At work, it clouds my day
Managers who just want to make a quick buck, and don't care about you
People like Jeff Bezos who only care about space travel and not workers
It comes down to actually caring for others
Because I can eat at home, but I go out for some love with my morsels
Looking for that one person that gets it
That really wants to give me great customer service

Somebody like you,
is who I'd want to be with forever ...
Somebody like you
is who I wish to make my days
more meaningful , colorful, and richer ...

Somebody like you
is definitely who I desire
to carve a trail of love and lust for each other ...
that would remain burning hot to the touch
from now to whenever ...

Somebody like you
is the one who can love me for who I am ...
Who can gladly take and appreciate
all the love, devotion , and care
that I will so selflessly, with you, share ...

Some people we meet are not meant to stay ...
Some persons we encounter only linger for awhile ...
But there are those exceptions
that may come our way ...
Somebody like you
with whom I can think in terms of forevermore ...
with whom I can see and feel
that rare elusive bond & connection
that reminds us of what true Love
is all about and for ...

Sadness...overcomes me like a blanket;
Not warm and fuzzy, but cold and dark.
When I think of the evils that grip the land
And cause Sin, and Disease, and Pain, and Death,
I feel hopelessly sad.

I try to fight the sadness with thoughts of good things,
But still...the sadness haunts me.
I try to examine the sadness, reasoning it out
To decipher why it wearies my soul,
But I could find not satisfactory answers.
I try to sing away the sadness with songs of joy and
Praise to my God, and for a while, IT goes away.
But then....

Sadness...creeps over me like a shadow,
All dark and gloomy, silent and heavy,
And I wonder "When will it all end?"
When will my God say "It is time",
And return to end the sadness that I feel?

Let me love you my Darling,
so I can prove to you
that the sun rises through the clouds
and is still shining ...
Let me love you my Dearest
so I can show you,
even when you are at your weakest ,
that I'll always be there ...
Let me love you my Honey,
so you can once more taste the sweet
after suffering the bitter ...
Let me love you my Sweetie,
so you can live all your following days
hearing yourself sweetly called
in all the most endearing ways ...
And let me love you my precious Love,
so you can once more be
the best partner, friend, and lover
as you surely will, in turn,
bring all those out in me
wherever... whenever ... forever ...

Psalms 27:14 - Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.



I will ask,
I will listen,
I will hope,
I will pray,
I will wait, I will wait on the Lord.
He is always right on time,
So good, and true, and kind,
I will trust Him at His every Word.

So if you ask,
And you listen,
And you hope,
And you pray,
And you wait, with patience, nothing less,
He will hear and will answer and will bless.

Wide awake it's 3 AM
insomnia, can't sleep again
movies playing, theater of mind
times long past, another life
haunted by so many memories
inside recalling ancient history
what was said, what I did
people and pets since I was a kid
brief and long lived interactions
who, what, why, and how they happened
things that shaped me when I was young
every picture framed and hung
sights, sounds, scents, stored sacrosanct
black and white or colored paints
wide awake, the stories speaking
Keeping me from resting, sleeping...

Lightning striking
thunder roars
and oh the rain!
how it did pour
then afterwards the petrichor
the sweet scented smell of a summer storm...
