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?

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.........

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

~ Lie To Me ~

Tell me that you love me

Tell me that you care

Tell me that you want me for your life to share

Tell me that I am the only one and that you always will be true

Tell me all the things I want to hear, then I will lie to you

You are so beautiful and I want you so

You are so intelligent, of course this you surely know

You are the only one for me and I love you more each day

You have the body of a Goddess of this I can truly say

You chase all the passionate wanted men away

A lie can be a secret, one that you can regret

A lie can be big or small, it can put you into it’s never ending debt

A lie can grow & grow until it consumes you so

A lie can start out small but surely destructive grow

A lie can be a headache as surely as we live and breath

~ Tell me a lie ~
~ And I will tell you one to ~

~ Do you really care ~

~ I Do ~

Hello lady I don't know you you're a stranger to me
You wear white gloves and a bright blue dress
I've seen you long ago maybe somewhere way out west

Perhaps Arizona the marvelous grand canyon possibly
I'm not certain I'm just wondering
So I beg your pardon lady you're a stranger to me

You carry a yellow rose in your hand
You take off your shoes when you walk in the sand
You never talk to me but here I am

I'll be leaving on the train at a quarter till three
What if all I've been describing is just a fantasy
Goodbye lady you're a stranger to me

I've forgotten how to come home
I've forgotten that I am human
I've forgotten life outside my world
Most of all I've forgotten how to love

Where are the sons and daughters
Where are those caring life partners
Where are those joys and laughters
When times we only had each other

Some are gone beyond the ocean
Some are lost in work commitment
Some are buried in mobile connection
What that's left in this world is forgotten

Goodbye my friend
My only comrade
You lie forever
In my heart
Destined parting
Promises
A future meeting
Goodbye my friend
Do not say a word
Please don’t be sad
Dying is not new
But we will meet again
Another time
Another life
Another game
To play
Though if it will never
Be the same
Goodbye my friend

Tell me that you miss me so ~

Tell me you have looked for me forever ~

As I have sincerely looked for you ~

Lie to me!

Tell me that you want me ~

That you desire me ever so ~

Tell me that I am the right lover for you ~

Because it‘s what I want to know ~

Lie to me!

Like no one else would ever do ~

Tell me of your passionate desires for me
as I am crazy just for you ~

Honey! The shadow of your smile lives in my heart ~

Along with dreams of laughter, happiness and adoring affection too ~

Such beautiful lies ~ Now if only they were true !
