But hey just wait another few year

Baby Face ScowlYOU? Why are YOU up in here, all on the prowl,
looking closely at me, causing me to scowl?
DUDE, can't you see anger set in my jowls?
I just arrived brand new, so I still remember
how my last life ended one cold September
when someone - YOU -...

Death's BouquetDeath’s Bouquet
by Odin Roark
Graves give much,
Willing wafted memories ride
The raven’s wind.
Into other air
Where spirits claim dorsal view
Floating beside trumpets jazzed,
While barefoot chil’en
Walkin’ the early talk
Stomp blues drifting skyward
Clinging to cawing beaks
Echoing wisdom’s ...

I Will Always WonderI will always wonder what sort of love we had.
I was naive and blindly infatuated.
You were seventeen years older than I, and sad.
From the beginning our shaky love was fated.
We had met and I fell, but patiently waited,
a fact for which both of our...

Morning
This small fragment of my daily routine,
bathed in, drowned in coffee and cream.
When the animal inside my head awakes
my world rocks and rolls, quivers, quakes.
I love the morning, a rocket to the sun.
Launchpad, countdown, three, two, one,
zero, liftoff and another day’s begun.
I just wanna have…
…and...

Translate From SpeechLet's dwell a tiny bit on that skill most hanker after,
of mastering a language that especially enthrals,
infused with magic rhythm so fervent,
pulsing music lilt, anthem-rich samba,
think for one ecstatic heady moment,
if only we could just climb that Everest peak,
of those geniuses...

It's Time For Your EnemaEternal Surprise Productions presents
the It's Time For Your Enema show
bringing news of the day coast to coast
reading every offhand inflection
as though it were a rescue beacon
from the constant din of battle
between intensity and superficiality
being close to utter annihilation
I can recklessly speak these equations
without fear of...

MudslideI’m walking through the rough roads,
Losing traction in my current situation.
There is no scheme or death trap,
It’s a springboard to my launchpad.
A stirring is taking place during this hour,
Disruption and shift are in motion.
It’s getting messy and uncomfortable,
I sense climate change is in effect.
Discouragement comes...

A Biden Trump Love StoryThe man with launchpad hair glides by
Glowing orange in the mountain view
A red balloon bobbles by his side
The other man holds his diaper high
Blows bubbles and waves a magic wand
Hand in hand both men dance in circles
Skip right off the cliff together
Or is it to...

Morning Musings
For 3/14/2020
By: Tom
life is an assemblage of days,
linked together, both good and bad.
For many, only a short phase,
for me, it's been Heaven's launchpad.

In My Deepest FantasiesSunday cockcrow nascent promulgate aural essays reveal,
laissez-faire luscious lustrous buoyant raptures,
radio behemoth prompt to that untamed erudite fantasist,
me the one possessing rippled rampant penchant,
for titanic exploit extraordinaire beyond dimension heftiness,
a stimulant patently innocuous to an undogmatic eardrum,
such as pioneering covalent cinematic caper summoned...

Miracle Man
3-15-2022
My tomorrow’s are uncharted save by God,
and today a brief moment in His time.
Let this day be spent not behind a facade,
as any mountain placed before me, I climb.
Let today not drown in innuendo, but fact,
not repeating things, thought to be untrue.
Always...
