Premium Member Advice Contemplated
Do not look to me with questioning eyes - I do not possess the answers you seek 
cannot taste the bitter sweetness on your tongue or smell the withered flowers 
along your path. My heart beats with less rhythm than your blues. 

I am unable...

I Wish I Knew
(In Memory Of Mrs. Vera Latney)

Honest to goodness, I wish I
knew
Why the LORD took Me away
from you
Leaving you to feel bewildered,
lonely and blue
Almost sick to the stomach, as
if from the flu
Honestly, I wish there was some-
thing I could do
And, I would "if on the other...

Premium Member Undeniable
This Friday night was as-black-as-coal, he ignites a blackberry-colored cigar,
His belly is filled with fried chicken, Hennessy, and caviar.

This is, without-a-doubt, undeniable…

The intoxication is accredited, and honest-to-goodness notarized,
The spirit hypnotizes critical-thinking, the caterpillar forgets the past as a butterfly.

This is, without-a-doubt, undeniable…

Each step is measured,...

Shamrocks Blanket Green Acres
All across the webbed wide esse Scott's wold
emerald green Trifolium
carpets harbor untold
burrows of tiny Leprechauns clover

wishes if captured might
divulge pot of gold
at rainbow's end, and e'en mend

thence tread softly beneath subthreshold

Crossed Off the List
Do you love to stand upright for the truth?
Or do you love it more,
bending to lies
At an acute angle forty five

Degrees of false moderation
permits you to have
an unhealthy tolerance for half-pint truth

Do you have a taste
for liquor moral malaise?
If so, be prepared
to be put on...

Premium Member CAN'T FIND HOME
Never understood why my family had
hate and contempt for one another,
definitely not wanting to be together.

Never felt like home as a child
only relentless worry and fear,
rejected in an unsafe place.

Never felt a sense of belonging although 
I made many attempts to find my place
after being...

Regarding unexpected Gadshill gift

thus an obligation goads me

Starry Eyed (A Decastitch)
Honest to goodness golden stars-
Embedded in my Baby's eyes;
Flecks of bronze on fields of green.
Lordy! how they mesmerize.
Mischief filled; slight hints of sorrow and;
Several shades of wisdom.
PromisesOf wonderful, wicked , sweet surprise.
She had me hooked
The first time I gazed upon-
Golden starbursts, In Baby's eyes....

Who never did a lick of work 
gifted lifelong entitlement,
yet possessed webbed wide world reputation
actually humble contemplative earthling
jump/kick started cosmic consciousness
as modest (née supreme)
unrivaled spiritual leader
with natural born talent
to resolve conflicts
without uttering a word,

he merely presented unspoken charisma,
when his bonafide dogma stirred
madding crowd...

O Why should we be spreading God's Sonshine in our world today?
Could it be cause the clouds that are in our world, without lasting hope,
All dark, dreary and grey storm clouds rapidly spreading in our world today?
O Let there be Sonshine, His glorious Sonshine brightening...
