Black Night

Black night, black thoughts merging into one
No sword shall sever this gordian knot
that binds my being in longing and despair

My tortured soul cries out
filled with a longing to crush
the things that torment me so

I see them with the mind's eye
and would strangle them
but they recede into the shadows
to mock me anew in ripened time

But now let my soul be at rest
even for a fleeting moment
for I am finally free

Free!
The very sound is music to my ear
filling the mind with such fantasies
that leap to the heavens
and leaves me panting just alive

As a man who is spent I rest
and waves of gentleness flood my soul

The thought of a tender kiss
the smell of a rose, Jove's nectar
soothes my being and sets my soul at ease
to gather up courage
to face another day

ETERNAL CROSS

Embedded image from another site


Jesus died and left us the gift of forgiveness
Making a way for all his children to Heaven

There will be no beginning and no end
Just like the Eternal Cross continuous bends

All we need to do is accept Him as our Savior
His love for us will never waiver

April Fools

April Fools jokes are fun to pull
I did two songs from the movie Step Brothers with Will Ferrell
Billy Joel's Keeping the Faith, and The Longest Time
Which are sung in the movie by a group called Uptown Girl Claps from my friend and the DJ, and nothing, nada from the audience
I did one at a company meeting a few years ago
The manager said does anyone have any questions
I said, I parked my car illegally, only because the guy in front of me did too
How many times can I do that before something bad happens
She said Three

About this poem:
April Fools was this past Monday, most of the time I don't pull any jokes on people, just afraid of the payback I guess.

Second chances

Only human, that is who I am....
Lost at sea....drifting wood....swallowed by waves....crushing over me....choices was made.....wrongly accused....loved by few.....broken by millions....walls was build with bricks that turned into steel....loneliness eats away like razor sharp teeth.....dreaming and wishing for a second chance....to be truly loved & accepted with all my flaws.

It is about myself....life's choices and supposedly loved one's that turned out to be in love with their own reflections.

Work Related Issues - The Sort That Knows Sam

1. There was a job I had use 2 work years ago
this one young lady had given me a write-up.
Too many times those chutes got overloaded.
No where 4 the excess boxes 2 go.
On one side in this very busy warehouse
there were three-chutes.

3. I had stacked 2 sets of boxes on each side of one chute,
grand total to 6-separate plastic crate stacks of boxes.

4. I'm not ashamed of the write-up
there was some time she was off work
and 2 other people I had seen had done the same thing.
Where is there any justice in that?
I'm wondering is it because my skin color?

5. All I had repeated my friend had told me when he was watching the news,
the news had reported that 6-women had got killed.
I had told one of the Ladies at work I had worked with,
she should take self defense classes and Martial Arts,
She called that "PERSONAL!"

6. You know I would hate 2 see and hear this story repeated
in a way that would shame and embarrass her next 10
generations of fathers, as written as 'PERSONAL.'
With so much writing this Tombstone,
all that writing on that Tombstone had caught
every ones seeing eyes.

7. For Example: Teenage girl Paige grand kid was talking
2 her teenage girlfriend Phoebe.
"Do U want the next generation of your family 2 find out
what was written on your Grandmothers Tombstone?"

Phoebe: "I did have an awful dream about your grandmother's Tombstone."
Paige: "Was there anything written on it?"
Phoebe: "yes there was."
Paige: "what did it say?"

8. Phoebe: "There was a man that was sent 2 your grandmother
in her much younger years, it was told that he had encouraged her
to take self-defense and Martial-Arts which would serve 2 protect herself."
"In her city women were being killed in numbers not one by one anymore."
She refused and had called it PERSONAL."
"This was written on her Tombstone in very small writing
short story of her life before her death."
Paige: "Was there anything else written on her Tombstone
as her moral final fatality?"

Phoebe: "this writing was in bigger black shiny letters everyone that
had walked into the graveyard, they were all flocking to this
one Tombstone."
"This Tombstone had reflected bright every time the sun had shown
it's light upon it."

Phoebe: "HERE LIES GRANDMOTHER CRUELA DE VIL
SHE DIDN'T TAKE LAW ENFORCEMENT'S ADVICE,
A SERIAL RAPIST HAD ENDED HER LIFE ENDED HER LAST WALKING FOOT STEP."
THE FAMILY ENCOURGES ALL FATHER'S DAUGHTERS
IN THE WORLD THAT ARE STILL LIVING ABOVE GROUND,
"PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW GRANDMOTHER CRUELA DE VIL
YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOUR LAST WALKING FOOT STEP."

Phoebe: "it must have been a past tense dream,
I remember walking past a graveyard, I had seen a lot of people
gathered around this one Tombstone, I was curious, I had turned around
the other way I was walking and I had walked in to see what this crowd
of people were looking at and what they were talking about to each other."
"That's how I had found out about "Grandmother Cruella De Vil."

Paige: "they end-up there sometimes too early
in their graveyard."
Phoebe: "Why?"
Paige: "My daddy being Chief of Police said, there's a number
of women in the U.S. that think they know-it-all."
"My daddy remembers talking to a woman she flipped out on him
after she heard him advising her to take self-defense,
then my daddy said the very next day that same woman he had talked to
prior had ended-up in the hospital Morgue."

Paige: My dad being Chief of Police had inquired
"how did this woman end-up here in the hospital morgue?"
The Coroner said, "She was raped and killed
her body was found at the bottom of a deep pond"
"She was from a different county someone from that county
had called the police reporting they had seen someone get out
of a van and dump something in the water, it was dark they said,
this home owner had a set of binoculars."
"Our hospital sits between the county line
for both counties."

About this poem:
1. IF U SEE THIS POEM IT WILL REMIND U OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO ME
ON THE JOB ON BRAVO'S ISLAND YEARS AGO.
I HAD FORGIVEN HER FOR GIVING ME A WRITE-UP
LETS FACE-IT SHE HAD MESSED-UP PRETTY BAD.
I ASK U NOT TO FIRE HER PLEASE BEAR IN MIND
WHEN SOMEONE IS LEARNING HOW TO LANDSCAPE
IN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING I'VE SEEN PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES,
THAT DOESN'T THAT YOU FIRE THEM JUST PLEASE CHOOSE TO HAVE PATIENE WITH THEM.
LEARNING A NEW JOB AND IF U WANT TO BE SHARP ON THAT JOB,
THEN IT REQUIRES SACRIFICE ON YOUR PART -- PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.

SO MANY JOBS WAY BACK I HAD USE TO BE A BOSS...

2. All these poems and stories to those people that are writing books,

to get, to have and own the copy rights to these poems and stories.

Gray Hair And Wrinkles!

1. I remember walking past a high-school
there were a bunch of teenagers more males
then that of females.
As I walking past their school city bus stop,
I heard what they were talking about their parents
and grand parents.

2. Here's what I heard:
"My Mom and Dad and My Grand Mom and Grand Dad
"they are all Old-Fashion and Out dated!"

3. I don't know if your teenagers have said the same thing
in your nation?
Teenagers will come to a point where they think
they know more than their parents and grand parents,
when they come to that point where they think
they know-it-all,
that's when they close their ears to what parents and grand parents
are talking to them about.
When an argument breaks out between teenagers and parents
and grand parents,
I've noted one the first things parents and grand parents
will say to their teenagers.
"Many years ago I use to be a teenager."

4. I've heard teenagers call old people,
"old bag, old woman, old man,
bald headed pool ball,
those teenagers have a word
for every situation that happens."
In a certain place in the Middle-East
people that are almost up to
a hundred years old they're called "young people."
They don't believe in degrading people because of age.
In my book in the United States
I call youngsters!

5. On Pinterest I had seen a man at 91 years
he was exercising he was just quick as a teenager!

6. Adam brought in the gray hair and the wrinkles
took away our long life expectancy.
Just because we all different nations of men
have premature gray hair and wrinkles that
doesn't define us!
Just because you're a teenager
that doesn't automatically make you out
to 'Know-It-All!'

7. If good God had granted me a wish
here's what I would wish for.
"I wish you could give us all long life expectancy to all nations and don't permit
wrinkles and gray hair to happen to all nations."
"When we get laid into our casket that's when gray hair
and wrinkles are permitted to join with us."

Just because a man or a woman walks slow
that doesn't Define them!
They're not old!
They're Youngsters!

8. What's wrong here especially in the United States
you teenagers need to know,
your mom and dad and grand dad and grand mother
had raised you.
Why would you have the gall to call them
"Old Fashion and Out Dated?"

Daniella

She’s great
Never hates
Always honest
Sticks to her promises
Always there
before I even realize
heart of gold
Holds your secrets
Never lies
Even if it makes me cry
Catches me off guard
Makes me laugh so hard
She’ll help me in a flash
A special human being
She’ll never understand me
Yet Never abandon me
always there to help
Gives me crash courses on life
embedded in my heart
I couldn’t possibly have a better friend
I’m so happy I found you
Thank you for being my friend

About this poem:
I reached out to you.
Didn’t really know you
You learned who I am in a flash
Teaching me how to learn who I am
Takes a lot of work
Helping me learn how to think and cope
Can’t thank you enough
My dearest friend

Easter 2024

This world we live in
has become crazier...
where tradition... values & morals
have been eroded ever so faster...
It's up to each of us
to hold faith and set anchor
to the core that has shaped us better...
So we can without hesitation and shame...
celebrate spiritual holidays like CHRISTmas
and this Blessed EASTER ...
For whatever changes life can bring ,
to unwaveringly keep the same...
those things worth cherishing ... worth standing for...
according to their true essence,
without hesitation or regret, evermore ...

Egg Dye

I bought some egg dye from Dollar Tree
Two worked, the other three didn't
I went to Piggly Wiggly and bought some pink, blue, and green dye
I didn't have any yellow food coloring that worked, but I wanted pink
So I got some pink eggs for a change
I tried wearing a rubber glove and put drops of food coloring on the egg
Then just moving the egg around in my hand
Then wipe off the excess food coloring with paper towels
That worked well
If you have trouble getting the eggs to peel, try this
Get your water boiling (13 minutes)
Put your eggs into the boiling water(13 minutes)
Put eggs in pan under cold running water(2 minutes)
Drain off some of the hot water till some of eggs are showing
Then add ice cubes and let eggs soak(25 minutes)
Dry on paper towels( 15 minutes each side)
Easy to peel eggs!
Happy Easter!

Self-Defense-Martial-Arts!

1.

This woman had went out of her way to make something
out of herself.

2. For hundreds and hundreds of years in the United States,
American Men had always had a secret career called laziness,
that's why they had slaves to do their work for them.

3. This woman chose not to join the ranks of men that love laziness
as a secret career.

4. And I still run into a number of men that have made laziness
as their continued secret career.
This class of men before they had graduated from their educational
public school, they were in a hurry for it to end.
Once their educational public schooling was over with for them,
their mentality about anymore schooling,
I had asked a number of them a question "if given another time and chance
to go back to school to make something out of yourself,
that wasn't available and offered to you when you were in school,
would you go back and make that something out of what you can be?"
This is what they all had told me, "The hell with school I'm finished
with-it and I don't want any more of it!"
"I'm not wasting anymore of my time kissing up to
to going to anymore school classes, it was the most
boring thing I had to do!"
I said, "Ok, if you would rather put your(Psalms 38:5)foolishness to work for you
instead of putting your already learned education
to work for you, then that's your choice."

2.

When a woman's heart is set to what she has chosen to do
and her mind is made-up,
this means she will push any and everybody out of her way,
just so she can feel herself that day she's been fighting for
to come to completion as in graduation
to be able to see herself walk into her own hopes and dreams.
These kind of women will never give-up!

3.
In this sport she had trained in she had lost her fear over men
in other words she won't allow any males put her in that
fear factor box,
that mentality that men treasure so much over women.
Like a mouse will run from a cat
she won't run away from a man,
after kicking as the rock puts it -
"after kicking their candy-asses,
she will walk away not run away from a fight,
and if they haven't had enough,
she will turn around and go kick their candy-asses again!"
This woman is no Coward!

4. This is no joke!
The Gospel Saves The Soul
and Self-Defense Saves The Body.
Mother and Father's teenage girls
and you grown-up daughters,
this is only going to get worse.
Here's some past proof of evidence:

5. Your Mother and Father aren't going to be alive forever,
after they're gone who's going to protect you then?
I don't care if you're a rich girl
or a commoner or a peasant girl.
These Serial-Rapists seem to know who has self-defense
training and who hasn't been trained.



We have in the United States four classes of men;
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly And The Monsters.
The right kind of religion teaches the male how to learn
how to keep his hands to himself.
Isn't that what you women want?




Even the Commander and Chief of Heaven
he to is against rape.
(2 Samuel 13:14 King James Version)
This Original First Printed Bible In The 1500's
mentions the word "FORCED."
