I'm less than a week away from getting my second shot
Then it's two weeks to get away from being hot
From these masks that make you breathe in your own carbon dioxide
It is not worth trying to hide
I will not miss these blue masks
I have enough to do to make up my tasks
Just sifting through the endless crap that people spew out
It makes me want to scream and shout
What about other things that should have my attention
Wasting my time on germ retention
There are real things to be enjoyed that I am missing
Like love and joy and lots of kissing
So I wait in anticipation
For this hoax brought on by our nation
What will they think up next?
To try to get people from having sex

I walk within your shadow
among the dark hidden hallow of your love

Blindly I walk through the night looking for your light
I cannot see anymore
I lost my sight

To you my beloved across the shimmering sea I am nothing but, a hardened cold memory

Too many years
of bitter tears
we have shed
within an empty bed

The cold silent air drifting within our winter's lair has become the only thing left we have to share

Though we may welcome the
warmth of our fire and lustful
desires
They are but, distant dreams being washed away within
silver streams

It's been a grand journey and experience
as my mind and heart has been changed with your brilliance and radiance

Yet, today I come to embrace the darkness as I see your hand gently slip away

I am falling apart in disarray
there no more hands reaching to catch me as I watch my life pass like grains of sand through your hands

Though I played too many emotional games that drove you insane
I get what I deserve as justice
ordains

No more reason to complain
It's just a time to refrain
to let the healing begin
from the constant pain

One can only forgive just so much
there comes a time when one needs to put away the memories upon the hutch

It's time for new beginnings
and let the past slip away
to welcome a new day

A time for new loves and new thoughts to embrace and wipe away the tears from our face

In a uncertain world today there are many new possibilities
and responsibilities

To stand once again and spread our wings to allow hope be a new song we sing

Better days ahead and maybe better suited partners filling our beds.

Though it seems for some they may think their game is over
Its only a spring cleaning
of the old self when we shall stumble upon that 4 leaf clover

May the winds of change lift us to brighter horizons
I shall meet my beloved once again upon calmer seas and a comforting breeze.

Let Me Play >
In Your Garden
Where The Warm Lily Grows
Swollen In Time
Up Through The Moist Grass
Wet With Dew

She said bring me a rose
I live down by the slaughterhouse

What was time doing hanging on forever
Keeping track of our separate lives
Coming and going my days without your nights
My darkness without seeing your light

Are you still the one and only one
Who lights up on the distance shore
What makes the whole world get in the way
I just do not understand anymore

When the same sun shines on your door
When we can gaze into each other’s dreams
Feel the rain crying for us to come home
Am I the only man standing on this shore

My weathered face lined by its many storms
When only we can change what we choose
Keep dancing around in circles in the sand
When we are just two stars and the moon

and in the afternoons
the boys would come
down off the ships
wheeling wagons
heaving so
while the whistling
from dark woman
along the docks
would mock them in
bright sun banter

jute days
far from the continent
shanty stories ho
rolling in the tavern
while the parrots
with majestic cacophony
regaled the banana loads

Golden threads of memory of you
Keep running through my mind,
Thinking of the times we shared
Keeps you still alive within my heart

Everyday I miss your smile
Though I see it in a frame
But no one ever can replace
The sweetness and comfort it brought;

My heart still bleeds in silence
Silent tears still flow
What it was to lose you my baby
Only I ever know.

Losing you was unbearable
And still it is the same,
I keeping searching for answers
That no one but God can explain;

Your Memory is a beacon
That guides me through this lonely life
It is a precious keepsake
Embedded in my heart.

Death is a mystery,it tears loved ones apart,
But one thing I know for sure
God has you in his arms,
I have you in my heart.

I know we'll meet again someday,somewhere
Beyond the blue,
Till then I'll find the strength
To live through each lonely day.

Vivo in un posto dove le onde arrivano sotto la casa.
Un giorno sono giocose e piene di simpatia,
L’altro giorno sono minacciose e ti sputano in faccia tutta la loro rabbia,
Facendo rumore di un treno impazzito.
Ma ogni volta cercano di dirmi qualche cosa,
Fermarmi nelle mie follie, consolarmi, dare un consiglio o ascoltarmi.
E riescono a farlo come per ora non è riuscito fare nessuno.
Anche perché non c’era nessuno.
Nessuno che mi vedeva … Non pretendo dire capiva … Tanto non c’era lo stesso.
Loro invece c’erano da sempre.
Perché c’erano prima di noi tutti quanti.
E questa immensità di acqua qualche senso dovrebbe avere.
Sicuramente lo ha.

Il mare è entrato nella mia vita come non ha mai fatto nessuno.
E pian piano abbiamo imparato a capirci.
Non so se io piacessi a lui.
Neanche non provo a chiedere a me stessa se il mare mi piacesse.
Preferivo sempre le montagne, la terra, i boschi …
Ma da tanto tempo ho davanti soltanto il mare,
che mi manda le sue onde sotto la casa,
Le quale mi sembrano di essere le mie vere amiche, parenti, antenate.
Prima avevo paura del mare, non lo capivo, non lo conoscevo.
Adesso la mia paura è di separarmi da lui.
Ho paura di quello che ci dividerà per sempre.

When are we going to Mars?
I heard it once by Bush Jr. back around 2005
Then nothing more was done or said
Now we have a drone flying on Mars
Big deal
We had space craft on Mars way back in the 1970's
So when is a man going to Mars?
When is a woman going to Mars?
When will we be going to the moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto?
I am hoping with Elon Musk's help it will be soon
The cost of sending nine astronauts to Mars is 1.5 Trillion dollars
We spend a lot of money on other things that hurt people
Why can't we spend money on things that would bring people true hope
Like Casey Kasum used to say "Keep your feet on the ground and
Keep reaching for the stars."

There are words
that are
not words
they are just but symbols
of a meaning
that brings upon
a hidden feeling
that cannot be
described
