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 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

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?
