Live and Let Live
Every day
Sad, bad, even horrible Things happen in our world If we face the truth We know we cannot stop it Laws and regulations Try as we might Won't stop life from happening We must deal with what comes our way I am sure everything happens for a reason Sadly to remind us To not take life for granted Which I am sure many of us Are terribly guilty of Listen here Lawmakers And Regulators You cannot stop the bad guys From getting the weapons to hurt the masses And I won't let you stop me From loving who I want to love Many may need that slip of paper But I love my partner with or without That flimsy piece of paper That can fly away on the wind so easily Why don't you stop making all these rules That only hurt Which is your total intention Because you feel you should be able to Tell people what they can and cannot do Who they can and cannot love Live and Let Live |
Ode to A Summer Cold
Ode to a summer cold
Such beautiful weather And here I am Snuggled up on my couch With tissues and cough drops I would rather be outside Enjoying the warmth Of a summer day But no! This summer cold is kicking my ass With coughs, sniffles and sneezes! Mucus and congestion are my bestfriends The coughs only hurt my ribs With nothing productive coming of them Oh summer cold! Go away already! I want to go out and play On this summer day |
Zombie Summer Bugs
Summer is here
All hot and humid The Ice Cream Truck is tooling around Playing it's annoying little diddy Your local pool is most likely full Of all the screaming brats of the neighborhood Your dream of peaceful cool floating Is shattered before it became reality In the middle of all this Is a cooling heavy rain With thunder and lightening Sending everyone for cover After the rains the mosquitoes come out in force Making any outside time rather miserable If they pesky bugs find you oh so tasty While bug sprays are lacking at the best of times Then you feel forced to spend these beautiful days Inside your Air Conditioned home Bored and cranky as life passes you by All because of Mother Natures penchant for zombie bugs. |
Summer Storm
Angst bubbling up
For some unknown reason An overwhelming urge To snap people like twigs To remove heads with a click Of my teeth Mayhaps the crappy weather Being trapped in the house Day after day Mayhaps the icky summer cold Making me more sensitive than normal Only so much I can take Before I become A raging inferno of fury This weather needs to pass I want clear sunny days With bluebirds singing I am over the summer cold It needs to plague someone else As all viruses must do Let the happiness and love Into my heart Release the Angst-ridden and Tortured Soul May this being be at peace forever more At least until the next Summer Storm |
My Muse
My creativity comes in bursts
There is no flow Words come together like a puzzle piece On a good day Any other day it is like a 5 year old Coloring outside the lines I hope to endeavor To write a fantasy novel One of these days When the words come to me Will I ever find my flow? Or will it always be the bursts that I have now? Mayhaps I need a Muse So fluid like the ocean In constant motion I wait for the day When my Muse steps into my life To invoke the flow of words To come forth from my brain To be laid bare on the page For all to see |
The Future is Coming
The future is coming fast
Can we keep up? Can our love handle it? The speed of science Faster than the speed of a thought these days Technology taking over everything Love and Lust just words on a screen The human touch a thing of the past Soon mayhaps robots to show our love for one another A movie told it so well Wall-E Is this what we will become Gliding by within inches of each other But never touching Only speaking through cameras and microphones Technology is great, don't get me wrong But it has its place and its time And that isn't between you and me As a crutch for our love |
Mother Dear
Three years have passed
Almost maybe shy a few months But everyday passing Your memory fades From my minds eye The guilt eats me alive I think I should keep you alive Forever more in thought If not in body Others tell me this is normal Natural even This is part of the process of grief To not hold onto What has already moved on To the other realm Give me a sign Mother dear Is it time to let go Of your memory Or am I to keep you Forever close to my heart With a faded image in mind |
Friends of Old
Reflecting upon the past
I don't mean yesterday Or even a week ago Lets talk a decade or two When we were so young Most assuredly dumb And thought we knew everything I ponder how life turned out I never saw this coming And I wonder if my friends of old Ever feel the same as me Now that I am older I don't feel any wiser To be true I feel dumber then a box of rocks Mayhaps that is true wisdom To know you are ever learning I find myself comparing new friends With old friends Not that one is better then the other But I miss my friends of old And our silly stupid antics I wonder if I put a call out A call for a reunion If it would come to pass Alas we are all grown up now Or at least what passes for grown up With never any time to spare So here I sit Wistfully daydreaming |
The Toilet
The toilet
A perfect place for deep thoughts Imagine here I sit On the porcelain throne Writing this little diddy For your entertainment What could be going through my mind To possess me to write a poem While on the toilet Words... Just words To put in some order To hopefully make sense To someone other then me Alas my time on the toilet is at an end Time to wipe my ass And get on with my day |
A Terrible Place To Be
Is it possible?
To love someone too much? It frightens me sometimes As I dream at night Nightmares overtake my mind Terrifying images Of losing you Nothing simple Like losing you to another woman More like something horrific Something unreal Almost right out of a movie Even silly in some ways You protecting me from zombies Or some such And thus you get eaten for your efforts I think my mind is a terrible place to be Lucky for you You are in reality Where there aren't any zombies |
Together
A part of my heart
A part of my soul That is who you are to me Good day or Bad day Always a part of me No matter the arguments No matter the differences of opinions It just helps us grow stronger And more confident In our love for one another Our silliness Our affection Our seriousness Makes us who we are Always a part of each other Our tears Our upsets The hugs and comforts Show that we are here for the long haul Always a part of each other Together today Together tomorrow Together forever? One never knows One day at a time is good enough for me. |
Cough cough cough
Cough cough cough
It's summer Cough cough cough And here I am sicker than a dog Cough cough cough Already cracked one rib Cough cough cough On the way to another Sniffle and sneeze Where did that phrase come from? Sneeze and sniffle Sicker than a dog? Cough cough cough Most dogs are pretty healthy Cough cough cough I swear I cough or sneeze one more time Cough sneeze cough I am going to scream bloody murder Sneeze cough sneeze AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! |
Some People
Some people come
Some people go Some people stay Some people should be kicked to the curb Toxicity dripping from every pore Radioactive like a nuclear bomb Melting your mind, body, and soul As if you got hit by a holocaust Why can't you say goodbye? Why do you keep them in your life? You know they are trouble Like a dead man walking through your life Take a deep breath Let it out slowly Love yourself truly And let them go Keep the good Let go of the bad Love thyself enough To not torture yourself |
Here I Kneel
Here I kneel
Before all the Gods and Goddesses that be From my lips to their ears I pray and ask for blessings this day For good health Deep meaningful love An open mind An ever expanding perception Bless my friends Bless my family And most of all Bless those who speak ill against me Thank you my Lords and Ladies For giving me the sight To see the magic surrounding me everyday Thank you Gracious Ones for you love and blessings I go forth from here To share your love To share your magic With all who are willing to listen and learn. |
Rude
Rude are you
What for? Why for? Is it a wall for you? Oh this will bore you And that will bore you But you don't bore you Only others do Do you think you are just so Superior? We of course are less than you More and less, less and more Which is best? Take your boredom Take it and shove it I don't have time to entertain you That is not what I am here for When you learn to be kind of nice Come see me then Maybe we can have a conversation Without you being a jackass |
Professionalism
Professionalism
Supposedly so very important For you and for me At work and out in the world at large But co workers gossip Discussing things better left for a different environment Everybody knows everybody else's business Even bosses aren't immune We are all human of course But this professionalism you speak of Is a high ideal But rather unrealistic for human nature We give in to our base nature To gossip and perpetuate drama On a good day we might believe we are above it But we must be honest and admit we all do it |
Flowers
Like flowers opening to the morning sun
My petals open wide to let in all your love All the love you have for me And our little family I am the flowers in the meadow You are the sun in the sky Love and affection shining down on us Helping us grow more beautiful everyday Sometimes you hide away your rays There are many kinds of love So that the clouds might come To nurture us with its life giving waters You know it isn't all about you If you want the beautiful flowers to grow Sometimes you must share their beauty With others then yourself Tomorrow, how about you are the flowers And I am the sun Watch together as the butterflies are freed To roam our beautiful fields of flowers :smelling-flower: |
Here I Stand
Here I stand
Down on Earth Staring up at the Heavens Yearning to be up there Flying high above the clouds Feeling the wind in my hair The moisture of rain on my lips I pray for my wings To carry me higher To be high above the world Watching it all pass me by To feel the worldly chains drop away As I go higher into the sky Wanting to touch the stars And see the planets whizz by To another dimension To another universe Where humanity might be a kind reality Instead of a harsh system But here I stand Staring up at the Heavens |
Woman
Turn that frown upside down!
Say that again bitch And I will sew that upside down frown in place Permanently for you Who the hell ever said I was nice? I know it wasn't me So stop fooling yourself Yes I am a bitch today and every day here after Sweet is for chocolates and caramels Not real women in the real world I don't have time for sugar and spice Everything nice got left in my drawer Sad to say babe This is a dog eat dog world I am not going to play games To get what I want from you You have to work your fingers to the bone To get anywhere in this world The truth is my weapon I will always state it how I see it No I am not you sweet little lady Nor am I your slut But don't think I cannot get freaky with the best of them I am just as good as you if not better |
Depression
Depression
Like a cold Is contagious If you don't take precautions Like a yawn It starts with one person Making its rounds Striking us down one by one A ball of darkness Settles over my heart Coloring everything grey Waiting to latch on to someone else A vicious cycle Around and around we go Where we stop no one knows I want off this ride now This is so not fair Why am I still here? Isn't there an end to this? Or does it go on for an eternity? |
Brownie
Brownie so sweet
On the counter in the kitchen Calling my name Oh so seductive Believe me I hear you A glass of milk To complement you A sinful delight Heaven on my lips Oh brownie you tasted so good Too bad you are all gone |
This is Life
I wish there was meaning
To my life Here and now Tomorrow and always I wish I was the pivotal character The one the whole world is depending on To be able to change an outcome With the wave of my hand But the world doesn't work like that This isn't a storybook This is life Most of time rather dreary The only one affected by my choices Is me, myself, and I So I will make the best choices I can Daydream the rest of the time |
Country Music
Early morning music
To get the heart pumping Motivate the day Hard to imagine For a girl like me It's country It speaks to my soul In a way no other music can It can make you feel stronger Make you feel loved beyond measure Make you feel like you are more beautiful Than a runway model It can express your patriotic feelings And in the next instant Express your parental love The most romantic night Requires moonlight A good slow song And some Texas Two Stepping Not to worry darling Got a broken heart? Country can sing it for you too Don't you worry Country has got it all covered Just listen You will surely find your soul song |
Needle To Flesh
Put the needle to my flesh
Drawing art all over my body The pain so tantalizing My mind calms My body stills As the needle passes Back and forth over my skin Repeatedly Every picture has a story A spell in it's own right Like a walking book You have only to ask And I will tell the stories for you My flesh a blank sheet To cover with memories How can one regret memories? For even if they sag or wrinkle They will still spark the memory to mind So put that needle to my flesh Put the memories on my flesh Forever More |
Chris 8.7.2013
I have known you since I was 17
We have flowed in and out Of each others lives Sometimes we were great friends And others we couldn't stand each other Sometimes you flirted Most times I was a tease Not so many years older than me But I remember a time or two When you used that phrase "Respect your elders" And all I did was laugh at you But here now is no more laughing at your expense So not fair for you to prove that "older" bit I am quite sure you didn't choose the time or day But couldn't you negotiate a later date? I was trying for a reunion For all us San Diegans Geeks I know this is so selfish of me I don't want you to be gone on to the other side Just not fair for you to leave us behind But since you have We are going to party like its 1999 All in your honor No matter where we are |
Allergies
Oh allergies
I am so over you Please just let me go I can't take you anymore Watery eyes Pink and scratchy So utterly irritated I really want to claw them out Runny nose Oh my god! Someone turned on the faucet! Is there an emergency shut off valve?! Hard to remember But I do Of a time and a place Where I had no allergies But then I moved Out of California Seeking adventure In other parts of our fair country But our fair country Is mainly plaguing me With allergies That I am so over and done with |

Best Path
Time has passed
Feeling a little lost Not sure which way to turn Left or right Which path is best? What does the future hold? Should I read the stars? Or maybe the cards? Talk to a psychic? Or just trust the Goddess? When we were young We were invincible and immortal Or at least that is how I felt But time has passed And I surely know differently now Which path is best? Left or right Or better yet Lets just ford straight ahead And ask the Goddess to cover my ass This risk is great The risk of failure But I will never know unless I try To always take the safe path Isn't always the best path |
Friends
Friends of old try
Using technology of new To get together And celebrate a life of a dear friend This isn't a hallmark card We reminisce of years gone by 20 years at the very least Many so old, some still young We aren't friends of flowers Friends of sweetness and candies We are friends of honest words Of "kiss my ass Jim" our own personal Captain Kirk We tease each other We wrestle and occasionally punch one another Hey I even put Dan's head through a wall once This is the essence of our friendship Real as real can be This is how we choose to remember Our dear friend so close to our hearts With laughter and tears and a punch or two Chris you will never be forgotten Every punch is a memory of you Every hug with a tear or two is all for you We know you are watching saying what dumbasses we are It is all for you |
Don't Wait Up For Me On The Other Side
Two years have passed
Since you went on to the other side Personally I don't believe In heaven or hell But no matter what I think I hope you are where you want to be You are missed Many small ways Sometimes in large ways Such is life I suppose Causing tears years later When you aren't even around to see the aftermath Though you might not be here In the psychical sense You still effect our lives A stray thought you A particular scent bringing forth a whole slew of memories My favorite dish you use to cook Hamburger Pie Jake just doesn't make it as good as you Mom But he tries because it gives me comfort I love you Mommy and I miss you terribly I wish you were here telling me those outlandish stories You know which ones.. the ones that just couldn't be true I would always pretend they were real and hide under the blankets I miss you Mommy I hope you found peace on the other side I hope you found happiness on the other side I hope you found love on the other side Don't wait up for me, I will be there soon enough Don't wait up for me on the other side |
Down The River
There on the shelf
In my room Is a box and a cannister Both full of ashes Of someone very dear The cannister is mine to keep The box full of ashes are slowly dwindling Every year on a certain day A friend or two and I Go to the river We build little paper boats Add a little bit of ashes And send them on down the river Mother had an affinity for the water Just like me So I do the best I can With what I got Send you on down the river Blessings upon you And your trip down the river |
My Love
You have bettered my life
My Love You have made my life magical My Love You have helped me find faith My Love I smile every day because of you I feel so loved and adored I cannot help but cry tears of joy Yes I have great material things That wouldn't have without you My Love To be true to my love for you I would give up all the material Just to keep you with me forever Forever in love Forever laughing Forever crying tears of joy Arms wrapped around each other Tight as tight can be Never letting go of our love for one another. |
Flower Garden
How does your garden grow?
Are your flowers all in a row? Pansies here to the right Daisies there to the left Precious roses right there in the center. How does your garden grow? How long will your flowers bloom for you? The roses so beautiful are stolen right beneath your nose But the Pansies and Daises are there To comfort you in you time of need The rose didn't use their thorns to protect their home But the Pansies and Daisies made sure to stay For they are loyal til the end Some flowers have the staying power To light up your life for the long haul |
My Depression
To set the scene
You need thunder clouds Pouring rain An overflowing river Now remember This is all in your head No matter how real it feels Like a little movie in your brain No one else can see it No one else wants to share it Your own personal purgatory Maybe a personal hell You stand there On the edge of the river Overwhelming with sadness and tears Rain pouring down soaking you to the bones Thunder clapping Lightning flashing Covering your screams Screams of pain and torment None can hear you None in your head And none in reality As you suffer alone This is my depression I would love to share it So it would be half the pain But chemical depressions are not so easily shared So I stay here But the river of sorrow and tears My makeup running down my face As the river and the rain over take me I pray for salvation I pray for sun to break through the clouds To dry me up and bless me With happiness and smiles |
Damn Bunnies!
Sleep is fleeting
As I dream of evil bunnies In pink and purple polka dots They aren't there for snuggles to be sure With their sharp little teeth I feel them sink into my flesh Repeatedly electric shocks to my heart Is this to help me? To remind me to live? Or to slowly kill me? In a very painful way? Loose the dogs! The Chihuahuas are on the run! To hunt the evil bunnies To make a tasty meal of them What a frightening thought! I am so done with this dream Or is it a nightmare? Please let me wake up Mr. Sandman! Damn bunnies! Save me my magnificent Chihuahua Warriors! As I roll out of bed Forcing my eyes open To what I hope is reality |

There Is No Rapunzel Here
High up on a mountain
In the highest room Of a tower so very tall Is a woman not a princess No flowing locks to help her escape this prison A prison of her own making To protect her tender and fragile heart Waiting for the Knight in Shining Armor To brave these mighty walls And the dragon hidden at the top if it all There is no Rapunzel here No mild manner or simpering princess But a woman who is willing to fight To protect her tender and fragile heart With a dear dragon friend to bite a supposed knight or two So Knight in Shining Armor Do you brandish a sword? Or maybe a pen or two? Is brute force the answer? Or perhaps a slow seduction of the mind? Remember there is no Rapunzel here No simpering princess to throw herself at you You hurt her dragon And this trapped woman Might run you through with a sword or two Tread softly Use your eyes and your heart Not everything is as it seems Not all Knights in Shining Armor Have to slay the Dragon to win the Maiden in distress |
A Small Poem of Wickedness
Wicked is what they call me
I doubt any know my name From the west I come Looking for my sister of the east Politics run rampant You are good and I am bad The wizard is miraculous G'linda the Good Witch will protect you from my wrath As I see you celebrate the fact That my little sister has been squashed by a house And her corpse robbed of her precious ruby slippers Mine! By right of familial inheritance Sad that you bring an outsider into your political games To rid our little world Of the Wicked Witch of the West Because none of those in power Have the courage to do it on their own To depend on a female child To defeat me Alas she succeeds And I melt into nothing but goo But worry not This political game is not at an end I am sure my son will take up my cause To free the land of OZ from the Tyranny of the Wizard And the supposed Good Witch |
Doppelganger
I stand before a mirror
Staring deep into my very own soul What is it that I see there? Is my soul in the mirror? Or is that just the reflection of it? Can I leave it in the mirror for safe keeping? If the reflection holds onto my soul Does it become me? Will it crawl out of the prison of the mirror? To become a doppelganger To wreck havoc on my life Do I even care? Maybe I should crawl into the mirror Taking its place on the other side The prison, the mirror Is the grass really greener on the other side? How does my doppelganger live? There on the other side in the mirror Curiosity killed the cat But satisfaction brought it back I so need a vacation from my life So doppelganger Come here and take my place And I will take yours in the mirror realm You have my soul To do as you please To be a real live girl Me a soulless creature I must crawl into the mirror realm To live as your reflection forever more |
Morning
Morning comes
The sun filtering through the windows Last nights dreams so real That you question your own reality Sitting on the side of the bed Blinking your eyes trying to accept this reality I glance across the bed A small smile crosses my lips as my eyes rest upon your sleeping form Our wee bit of a dog curled up tightly next to you You sleeping so soundly and peacefully I could have a marching band come through the room And I don't think you would ever wake up I sit there and watch you sleep Looking so happy and peaceful Just the way I like you I always want to share the joy your bring to my life with you I loved you back then I loved you more yesterday I love you even more at this moment Hard to imagine, but I will love you even more then that when you open your eyes and smile at me |
