As I Look Down - 2025

The light I see is all around, things haven’t gone as planned
It’s really kweer, I’m standing here, and somehow, you are not

the king is here

...He always dreams big on just about everything
He has been doing this since he was a child
And sometimes his imagination runs wild.

He likes to pull things apart and appear in the dark
and when ...

Doubt not that I love you

...DOUBT NOT THAT I LOVE YOU II.

Darling, I know that I can't be absolutely perfect; for as a mortal, I have depravities in me,
Which will always and constantly antagonize me in trying to be the bes...

Proud To Be Insane

...Proud to be insane, I'm free as can be/
Proud to be insane, I'm just being me/
Proud to be insane, I play by my own rules/
Proud to be insane, I do what I want/
I'm proud to be insane, I'm super ...

the raw madness that makes me who I am

...It amuses me when people ask
“How are you?”
Fortunately for us both
They never ask
“Who are you?”

For that answer relies upon a deep dive
Into the hollows of a heart
The scorched remains of ...

amused by running

...a woman with a child is running in the rain
to her car?
is she a mom or a grand mom?
difficult to know
the running part amuses me
is she fearful?
does she always run?
does she look frightened ...

Chance

...I sit here pondering the next move as I watch the hour slowly slips away, and chance standing in the horizon muse steadfast at me. It is that little nudge that you get when you are almost out of brea...

She Feels Sexy

...Am I but a wanton woman then?
She looks at her reflection
When did she get this pretty?
Her Rubenesque backside amuses her
She feels sexy, sultry, sassy and satisfied...

Seems Like

...I soak my first sip of my hot coffee
Watching the crowd,
That amuses my eyes,
I figured out different shapes,
I see faces,
Mostly couples!
Young and old,
The young are loud,
Speaking and gigg...

Razzmatazz

...Razzmatazz is jazz beyond roots and blues.
Razzle-dazzle kaleidoscope of hues.
Music and dance with multi-color moves.
Its pizzazz and cool schmooze amuses.
It fizzes glitz and glamour in views.

The Scattered

...Inside a library of things uncountable,
clippings, extracts, jottings, and snippets

Mind dust wafts.

A woman approaches with an armful
of my early, roughly cobbled...

My Beauty, My Model

...My love, my all
My friend, my soul
When I say I love you

My friend, my role modèle
