Premium Member Some Final Thoughts for 2024
It has occurred to me that as I grow older and use my life experiences more, everything means more than it did before. So, here I am, at the end of another year soliloquizing about myself, studying my life's reflection in a tarnished mirror, and...

Premium Member I Hope It Never Happens To You
I got home late from working one night
My eyes felt painful, they didn't feel right
I said to my wife “my eyes feel strange"
She said “it could be eyestrain or even your age"

We laughed about that, I was only forty four
I’d get seen tomorrow when we...

Premium Member Presumed Missing Feared Dead
Andy was a pretty young girl,
Flirty, fun, always busy, in a whirl,
She was popular at school,
Was intelligent, nobody’s fool
She never was short of a date,
But this would become her fate!
There was at college with Andy,
A nerdy guy called Randy,
Always unpopular heartily disliked,
He spent time alone,...

Premium Member My Wish For the World Is
I wish that people would see each other as 
they see themselves.
Because we all are connected you and I, we 
are all part of the human race.
We must  put on the eyes of a child; they don’t 
see color nor how much money a...

Premium Member What Facinates Me
What fascinates me is 
seeing a child ride a bike 
after many falls.
It shows if you keep at 
something,
you will eventually get it.

Or seeing a baby bird soaring 
high in the sky.
Because they understood they
were born to fly.

The thing that really moves 
me is seeing...

Premium Member Invisible Enemy
driving to work is a regular part of the day for her,
but the specialised hospital is too far -
twenty-five days, exactly at nine!
the best option is the subway ..why not?
instead of watching those busy roads,
immersing herself in a peaceful reverie !

peaceful reverie? deep into thoughts!
radiation...

Premium Member Sinking Into a True Despair
Sinking into a True Despair
 
It’s like trying to shoot a monstrous ghost that you can’t ever see,
and, at the same time, this applies when one wants to kill a rumor,
and where everything is just like water running off a duck’s back,
and when you can’t...

Stronger With Jws - With Jesus I Pray
I
At this stage
My retirement age
I speak with JWs
Jehovah's Witnesses
I shut my door
quickly before
Now, I'm emptier - stronger -
I converse with JWs longer

II
Fine people, careful about blood
Who avoid transfusions, "blood" food -
For JWs, smoking is wrong
Alcohol - choice -  may tag along ...
No hell, rapture,...

Premium Member The Ways of Love
The way to a man's heart is through his belly

That's how the old saying goes

But to a woman's heart it's love sweet love 

She feels it down to her toes

We've all been programmed to live this way

It's not a knock against men

If love didn't continue...

Old Hobo Dies Hard
Train whistles still call me
in the dead of night
recalling wanderlust
days of youth, tugging
something
inside me tight
Vacant curiosity of what
might have been
another place
another lifetime
remembering when
I was free, with
nothing to lose but
The Sadness
I carried overseas
(and back again)
like a bulky bag of
dirty laundry grown large 

Older now, I thought...

Premium Member Ashtavakra Gita 1:3
“You are not earth, water, fire or air
Nor are you empty space
Liberation is to know yourself
as Awareness alone
the Witness of these”


As the kundalini ascends
From root to sacral to plexus to heart
Either straight up or through bends
Even as breath flows in and does depart
There are stirrings...

 Empty thoughts  loiter in his mind
 As  new words he tries to find
 But shackled by an absent muse
 No words come forth for him to choose

 His wizened face now wears a...

~Today We Are In Love~


We are in love since 43 years: 
Today we know how to get back to the way we used to be 
by removing our internal bleedings.
Love today as it is a present from God if not our now can 
disappear when...
