Premium Member Anything Goes On a Sunday
As I claim my own parcel of solitude
from yesterday's banging boom,
I see heaven expanding through you
in me: fireflies  glow  rare as Sunday’s bliss,
never mind if there is a call for patience
when holy hours rise upon the lines of your mouth;
resting on the ledge...

Anything Goes
A night’s rest is never enough for the city always calls
A new day is like a page flip from the time a night falls
A breakfast can be leftover supper to empty bowls
Or a smile for sparing the lives of crowing fowls

I duck human traffic as...

She throws hateful words at me
And I echo more hate right back
After twenty years of matrimony
We have perfected our lame attacks
Familiarity, contempt does breed
As the long-time married surely knows
But in love, just like where soldiers bleed,
All is fair and anything goes

She knows all my insecurities
And...

There was a tolerant man
Tolerance was his plan-
He, to decide which is & is not,
Judging tolerance was his lot-
Methinks..he often loses the plot...

Motivation - Anything Goes But Money
To a manager its clever
To knowledgeable employees its torture
To smart employees its exploitation
To the rest it feels like slavery
What separates a motivator from a con artist
What separates a motivator from an abuser
Cant prove it.
Does that make it legal
Does that make it fair
They don’t care
Pay me...

Anything Goes -- 2020 Election Version
(Updated in such form that Cole Porter would sue)
 
[Intro]

Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since Nixon got the shock 
When he crashed on Daley’s bloc
If today
Any shock they should try to stem
'Stead of crashing on Daley’s bloc
Daley’s bloc would crash on them

Anything Goes: Life In a Loop
What has life in store?
Milk on bed and milk when dead.
Why sulk all along?




P.S.This poem is based on the Hindu customs of burial. Attending a funeral recently taught me this very essence of Life....

______________________
Enfold me like the breath of spring,
when beauties blooming new
kiss my petals ever gently
like the fallen dew.

Take me into the shade,
where there's a cooling breeze
arch me like a tree trunk
in the summer heat.

Nourish me with every sence,
and all you worldly pleasure
feather me with tender...

Anything Goes, But
No one willfully wants to assist the blight
Only we seem to be, yet clearly in the right
They are and must come screaming bloody
Hell, what don't they understand? Something
In the dark cries out, nothing comes from nothing
No way no how, but endlessly they attack us,
Grueling begrudging...

Don got the boot 
    for wearing a suit

  Recruiters said, 'Anything goes'
    so Don pierced his nose

  Now he's a hot commodity
    instead of an oddity...

Fierce was their hatred for Reagan
   Now for Mr. Trump all the more
At his State of the Union Speech
   The Dems aimed to even the score

Trump's backers still cheering
   his "Best is Yet to Come" close
Ms. Pelosi ripped up...

In this age of “anything goes”
Decency is not a priority as we know
Preferred the old rules
Call me an old fool
Twas a different era things were slower...
