Best Fix Poems

He fills his syringe with poisoned words
pulling the letters one by one from his rusted spoon
They rise up through the needle in perfect order
"Disgusting"  "failure" "worthless" "loser"
There in the cylinder they mix together
until they are a perfect black ink
Although he no longer sees the...

*(For Me, the soup tastes good, For others...not so much.)

INDEED, there may be something wrong with the Soup
if spices don't get right many people will be leaving the table soon.

Good people have pointed out problems with taste and temperature to MGMT
only to fall on deaf...

Tasty food passes my lips
Fat begins to show
Settling on my bum and hips
I am feeling low

Heading out towards the gym
Exercising hard
Work out done – I look so slim
In my leotard!

I Fix My Eyes On Eternity

“17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is...

Superglue won’t do it, neither will flour paste glue,
PVA is useless, and Araldite is too.

A broken heart cannot be stitched together,
And Gaffer tape doesn’t last forever.

How do you mend a broken heart?
Broken by a friend or lover that had to part.

Time they say is what...

Take my Heart
Wring it until it bleeds
Send it to the "How To Live With People School"
And bring it back to me
Here is my Ego
I'll give it to you for repair
Stroke it and make it well
I'll take it back when you are done
I'm giving to you...

We’ve proven there's no quick fix
when we start to yell and cuss.
Oil and water do not mix,
and the same thing goes for us.

When together, night and day,
senseless arguments break out.
And politeness fades away
as we both begin to shout.

Right or wrong, we won't relent;
egos are immune...

You can’t fix stupid 

something unfixable local gems 

To this day
There are some people
Who believe that COVID
Never really existed.

That it was all a horrid libtard plot
To lock down the economy
Imposed draconian controls
On everyone.

That vaccine mandates
Are the equivalent of
Sending Jews to the death camps

That the unvaccinated...

Give us the quick fix
The easy way out
A heady dose of
Instant gratification
And we'll forget about 
The intellectual annihilation
Of sixty second news 
On BBC Three
Then prime-time karaoke
From deadbeats on ITV...

Devoted to imperfections like rituals ~

His stories are out-of-this-world, the teacher says, in a huffy way.
Steven King, I think.
Another teacher slides into an empty seat beside me. “He exaggerates everything.”
Robin Williams I think.
The teacher across from me flips her hair and brags, “Her behavior is off the wall.”
Pink I think.
“She...

Here you are before me, broken
Heartbreak in your eyes, unspoken
I see the emotional scars
in eyes that were once filled with stars
Who hurt you? Your face doesn't lie
Confide in me...feel free to cry
Let those tears fall...they'll leave no stain
Let me fix you...and ease your pain!

Whisper in my ear and tell me secretly
Show me your heart, and give every broken piece to me
Let me know your secrets, tell me who you are
Let me fix your broken heart

I see the pain in your eyes, that you won't share
I can see you're...

My car breaks down
I’m pissed, vicious frown
You hug me tight
You say, “It will be alright”
“I’ll fix it”

Wrenches, sockets
Bolts in your pockets
Smeared cheeks, grease
I hand you those not these

You lay on the street
Jeans and feet
My heart held captive
You’ve never been so attractive...
