Retirement67 years 8 months, you are now of age
What achievements have you to gage
Married twice children there are four
What legacy is left as you walk out the door
Bowler. Firefighter, part time clown
Carpenter, DPW worker, man with a frown
Wonderful daughter, 2 boys and one stepson
To most this would be a lottery won
A failed engagement, divorce, a...

Intusive ThoughtsOften quiet evenings, when I read,
Memories of you softly intrude
Times when you were my only need
Heady days of a love we pursued
and saw only in glasses rose hued.
Thoughts surface I wish would move on,
as unknown others invade my sleep.
They are interlopers, quickly spawned,
spreading fantasies that grow and creep,
like tangled vines invading my sleep.
Dreams of you...

To ponderNo matter what has become
Not willing to ponder or succumb
A moment of temptation's best
Breaking off wanting rest
A battle may be won...

The Waltz Of A Bleeding HeartI only wanted a love,
And to fall in love with you;
I’m closing the door,
Just one time more,
To leave you in the rear view.
I desired to be about you,
Not wanting to live without you;
You’re a woman, so pretty,
It’s no mystery;
I thought I had found you –...

The Three Primary Colors"Never paint except with the three primary colors [red, blue, and yellow] and their derivatives." Camille Pissarro
One primary color can make me feel mellow
when warm like honey heated up or like rays of a golden sun.
It’s flax, saffron, blond, and canary yellow,
cheerful like a daffodil and bumblebee fun.
It’s bananas too and a well-buttered bun!
The...

A Moment Frozen in Time
Moments come and moments go
as time keeps marching on;
hold me now and kiss me slow
‘fore sunlight breaks with morning dawn,
and wills this precious moment gone.

A Portrait in Words
Windswept spirit, ever keen,
Inquisitive mind, light and free,
Laughter's echo, a vibrant scene,
Memories woven, endlessly,
Artful soul, for all to see.

When Wishes Come True
A Mom and Dad who'd drifted far apart
walked by their little daughter's room one night
and heard, "I'm hurting right here in my heart!
I wish," she told her dolls, "they wouldn't fight
and be mean to each other. It's not right!"
Before too long those parents, who had prayed,
stood holding hands outside...

Festive moments, bright and bold,
Radiant joy, your day begun,
Embraced by stories to be told,
Now celebrate, as years unfold.

Dill Pickle Hated Blue CheeseDill pickle hated him so
Because he stank badly

Fermenting like a bozo
Then opening his holder
A stink scent deathblow...

An Elevator Ride Of Love
Elevator rides have a special significance
Only four floors but oh what a ride
For the two of us it was like a journey to paradise
Pouring out what was locked up inside
Hurried moments till we reached our floor
Added to the thrill of each kiss
Always left with wanting more, more, more
Those stolen moments of bliss
Lived for thirty years...

He is my one and only love,
The one who cares for me,
One who knows me fully thereof,
The one who lets me be,
My heart's key ~ my hubby.

The Story Of My Life
When seasons glide along life's dream
to raise the kiln of compassion...
a healing smile, a touch agleam
can nourish hearts' indecision
my students... flamed with a vision!

The Story of My LifeAnd nothing turned out the way that I'd hoped.
All of my choices weren't mine, so it seemed.
But all the disappointments with which I have coped
made me better and stronger and somehow redeemed.
Though I'd not be this person if it had turned out like I dreamed.
