Foot Pain
I got the call the day before Halloween
My nephew wanted to know what pumpkin pattern I was carving for his son
I got off the phone and was distracted by this rare call
I only hear from him maybe once in a blue moon
I accidentally hit my foot into the chair
I have had foot pain since then
And now I wonder what I could have done differently to prevent this
Could I have called and found out what his son wanted for a pumpkin?
Could I have worn shoes?
Could I have been in better shape so I could recover from this faster?
Could I have eaten a better diet without Mountain Dew and Mello Yello?
But is my story of pain just one of many resulting from this opioid crisis
At least my nephew is still alive
Many arn't
Over 30,000 lost their lives last year alone
One of the things that happens when you have a broken health care system
A system making huge profits off the pain and death of many here
70% of our health care goes to insurance companies
How much happier would we be if it went to the sick and injured?

About this poem:
An election just two days away, I wonder will we get some good health care for working people.
A Broken Crutch........
It's been awhile
Since I last met you
But the feeling I have
Must only be true
How do I stop
And have a look at me
Why can't I see
What I need to see
Hopelessly I fall
Once again for your charm
No thought process occurs
Is this surely an alarm
Reaching forever reaching
So far but so close
My ignorance is alive
You're such a good host
Soaring with confidence
Flying with no fear
A splinter of light
Surely brings a tear
Only I have the power
Me myself and I
So why is it then
That I choose to die.........
Since I last met you
But the feeling I have
Must only be true
How do I stop
And have a look at me
Why can't I see
What I need to see
Hopelessly I fall
Once again for your charm
No thought process occurs
Is this surely an alarm
Reaching forever reaching
So far but so close
My ignorance is alive
You're such a good host
Soaring with confidence
Flying with no fear
A splinter of light
Surely brings a tear
Only I have the power
Me myself and I
So why is it then
That I choose to die.........

About this poem:
Addiction and death ...........the two go hand in hand some by accident some by choice
online today!Just Bobble
Patterns on the sidewalks
Where the leaves had fallen
Tracing their outlines deeply
Of many shades of purples
Seen in the glistening rain
Where barely we speak
We just watch as nature
Draws an outline on the horizon
Tracing the clouds colliding
Feeling the brisk wind blowing
Watching for the sun that’s hiding
And has been hiding for days
Careful our next step isn't off
The wet leaves and wood
Greased by a driving rain
So many symbols to observe
Like the great eagle’s emblem
That adorns the high gates
That separates the city spaces
Joining and adjoining its lines
Maps made out of electron screens
Where we simple just bobble
And enjoy all that goes on
Where the leaves had fallen
Tracing their outlines deeply
Of many shades of purples
Seen in the glistening rain
Where barely we speak
We just watch as nature
Draws an outline on the horizon
Tracing the clouds colliding
Feeling the brisk wind blowing
Watching for the sun that’s hiding
And has been hiding for days
Careful our next step isn't off
The wet leaves and wood
Greased by a driving rain
So many symbols to observe
Like the great eagle’s emblem
That adorns the high gates
That separates the city spaces
Joining and adjoining its lines
Maps made out of electron screens
Where we simple just bobble
And enjoy all that goes on

About this poem:
Catching little title for my poem about patterns made by fallen leaves on freshly wet concrete. Hey I'm a struggling poet, need I say anymore? :)Michael Moore
You finally came to our area
No more going to Madison to see your films
For once you picked a popular subject
Donald Trump
And why we got him as president in the first place
Did you answer the question of why the United States has so many murders?
Why are we the only industrialized country without universal health care?
What pushed Roger and many others to pursue such greed and destroy jobs?
Why so many other countries have it so right and we have it so wrong
In so many areas
Jails, Drugs, Schools, Vacation time from work, women's rights, etc, etc, etc...
I have been watching your films since Bowling For Columbine
Which is still my favorite
I watched you try to get Bush Jr out of office with Fahrenheit 911
I watched your acceptance speech for your oscar
"We live in the time where we have ficticious election results
That elects a ficticious president
I wonder how many presidents are really legit
And the people who get them there
Will Jeff Bezos vote for Donald Trump in 2020?
He might since he made around 250 million dollars a day
From January to May of this year
Thank you Michael Moore for movies that make people think
Even if they don't act on election day
No more going to Madison to see your films
For once you picked a popular subject
Donald Trump
And why we got him as president in the first place
Did you answer the question of why the United States has so many murders?

The Only One
The only one who loves me is Jesus
The only one who saved me is Jesus
The only one who doesn't condemn
The only one who is my friend
The only one who won't forsake me
The only one who will take me
Just as I am and with his plan place me in heaven someday
The only one who knows the way is Jesus
The only one who looks for me is Jesus
The only one who forgives me is Jesus
The only one who descended and ascended with me on his mind
The only one who has ever been kind is Jesus
The only one who saved me is Jesus
The only one who doesn't condemn
The only one who is my friend
The only one who won't forsake me
The only one who will take me
Just as I am and with his plan place me in heaven someday
The only one who knows the way is Jesus
The only one who looks for me is Jesus
The only one who forgives me is Jesus
The only one who descended and ascended with me on his mind
The only one who has ever been kind is Jesus

Cold Reserve
Days ago I died and froze and in the cold my life was lost, but down below beneath the snow my soul was bound by frost. And they're laid and there it stayed until the devil pulled it in. Which goes to show that good will grow, but all is killed by sin.

About this poem:
I wrote this one when I was 15 years old
Beacon of Stars
Beacon of Stars
There is always Light in Life
Let not the darkness envelop you
If darkness should fall
Look to the night sky
See the bright Light of the Cosmos
Reach out your hands grasping the Stars
While in your Grasp wish upon it
Pull it into your Heart
Let its Light and Warmth show you the way
Choose the brightness of Wisdom
Hold close to you all that which you hold Dear
Warm yourself upon the Shining Beacon of Hope
There is always Light in Life
Let not the darkness envelop you
If darkness should fall
Look to the night sky
See the bright Light of the Cosmos
Reach out your hands grasping the Stars
While in your Grasp wish upon it
Pull it into your Heart
Let its Light and Warmth show you the way
Choose the brightness of Wisdom
Hold close to you all that which you hold Dear
Warm yourself upon the Shining Beacon of Hope

~ Desire of a Woman in Love ~
She felt hot flashes all over her quivering body
Her womanly passionate desires were aroused
Holding her in his arms had awaken
her feminine powers to their s*xual peak
He was hers as she had intended
from the start of her escapades
But unknowingly had succumbed to his manly allure’s also
His masculine powers had blended with her seductive ones and she was his Body & Soul ~
When he held her gently in his strong arms she melted
And when he kissed her she responded with a sigh
of adoration
She wanted and couldn’t wait for his hands to be upon her and her hands upon him
She wanted him to touch and massage her delicate pleasurable spots
She started to explore his manly body
To feel the ripples of his body and the tightness
of his stomach and arm muscles
Hearing him utter a sound of pleasure she knew
that he was hers
Could this be true had she found her love mate
to be with for an eternity
The faith of all unsuspecting women is:
“To be loved & fall madly in Love”
Her womanly passionate desires were aroused
Holding her in his arms had awaken
her feminine powers to their s*xual peak
He was hers as she had intended

When he held her gently in his strong arms she melted

About this poem:
What does a woman really want?A Voices Call
A Voices Call
I sit and wait that hour each day
When we talked and say the things we say
Again I sit and look at the phone
My love has gone
Has left me alone
Do you know I am here
Waiting for your voice to hear
My Love is strong, did not disappear
Your Love confused but I did not hear
I wonder, do you conflict feel
Have you phone in hand or missed me have
Do you fight each day to call me not
You love me I know but live with fear
Self doubt the problem in this now and here
I wish your heart would hear, then wipe away the tears
I guess the truth we will never know
You know my love i did show
I sit and wait that hour each day
When we talked and say the things we say
Again I sit and look at the phone
My love has gone
Has left me alone
Do you know I am here
Waiting for your voice to hear
My Love is strong, did not disappear
Your Love confused but I did not hear
I wonder, do you conflict feel
Have you phone in hand or missed me have
Do you fight each day to call me not
You love me I know but live with fear
Self doubt the problem in this now and here
I wish your heart would hear, then wipe away the tears
I guess the truth we will never know
You know my love i did show

I just made a few subtle changes as original post was first draft.Is about love or loss thereof comments welcome as always
Virtual Reality
I've been playing video games for years
Pong being my first
Then it was Atari
Nintendo came in around 1984
I got my first Sega in 1995
Then it was Playstation in 1998
After that I got an XBox in 2004
I got a Nintendo DS in 2011
Which is a handheld game you can take with you anywhere
Now they have Virtual Reality arcades
Where you wear a goggle headset and are put into the game
I did my first on July 30 of this year
It was Google Earth where you can fly to different famous location on Earth
15 bucks for 30 minutes
So today I'm going to go play a zombie game
I've had a lot of fun playing all these games!
