Chariots were

elegant rides

for queens or brides.

Cars took their place



It is certain

in every case

of a big race

the cars would win.

Calender But Undated

Haha... In Australia, calender means fixed dates...
In Bolehland, it can mean to fix at a later date...

In case you are wondering what that  was about...
Wonder no more, in a  calender  actual dates abound...

Funny how one can call it a calender...

Al had dated many women from France, Spain, England and such.
you have never dated an Irish lassie though? Asked his brother Dutch.
not yet, he admitted, are they different than the ones I have squired?
Dutch said, ”You would have your hands full, now until you get...

Smiling while letting go
Everything black has turned to snow
Digging to unearth buried feelings

Searching for love everlasting
In this world, everyday passing

Moving on in order to be happy
Living out old romance movies
Everything's so sappy 


Playing the part of a lovers scorn
I will be happy, that I've sworn

Picking...

Thankful and grateful to be here
With a smile reaching up to each ear

Over the span of three years
It all started to seem clear
Will there ever be peace near?


In the dark it waited
Certain parts degraded

Down and in some of the farthest places
And yet not all could...

Dating’s so dated
He lately related
From a date he dated 
Who arrived belated
Named Candy Dayt
A mate candidate?
Who on their first date
Ate eighty eight dates
Straight out of a crate
That doubled her weight
And looking inflated
Which can’t be debated
He wasn’t elated
Which he quickly stated
And later orated
That eighty eight dates
Ate...

Does your daughter date? I asked the man.
Oh, sure, he agreed. As hard as she can.
But does she have a steady guy?
I do not know, want to know why?

I would love to know, I said to him.
He turned on me with electrical vim.
The last guy...

Even genius
is dated

the poison fruit of time

a once beautiful mind
now turning to slime

as bacteria re-purpose

(what of greater value, 
the vehicle or its soul?)

I was never gifted a Jaguar

but who is to say, perhaps
former VW's all the Rave
of Heaven!

First winter gust,

with a ripped out soul,

sewed with the string

of stars, I held.

.

The yellow hue,

of this room, reminding

me of the lost love,

I kept dearly.

.

The unfinished book,

of my heart and yours,

deceiving us to believe

in something not there.

.

Leaving and loving,

still,  the same,

cherishing forever,

like a thought....

UNTIL THEN MIGHT 
THOSE WHICH
ARE IMPORTANT TO 
US RECOGNIZE US AS 
BEING TOGETHER
FROM NOW ON 
I RECOGNIZE THEE AS MY
FIANCCE
OUR RELATIONSHIP
TO BE CELEBRATED IN MARRAGE
THOSE FORMER CONDITIONS OF OUR  
CONCERNS AND UNSTABLEDNESS
ARE
TALKS OF YESTERDAY
NOW MIGHT WE LOVE TOGETHER
IN THE BLISS OF TOGETHERNESS
