To The Other Side

...Out of the blue on this summer day
Richie asks me if I want to swim with him across the lake
Sure what the hell and that is that
I will match the older boy’s vim and whim
Two strong boys armored ...

The Barnicle On My Bum Part 2

...I could never really understand
Why some women
Won’t give me the time of day

embedded within 

a righteous reef

Valkyrie's Star

...Time is a fickle thing for those
                                             healing.
