you write your words and they make me cry
you write those word and you know i die
but i've died so often now

i held you in my arms while you smelled my hair
i saw that pretty little smile you saved for me

we always ran 
too wild to...

Premium Member Putin's Loss List
Errors on Putins bungled invasion are beginning to show
As this obscene war progresses, his loss list will grow
He thought rolling in his tanks, it would take but a day
But the west is supporting Ukraine and will make him pay.

The Ukrainians are proud people and will...

Well-Hidden Misery
Look into my eyes
what do you see?
The happiness, the joy,
what about the misery?
Can't you see I'm hurting?
The feeling is plain as day.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to say.
Day by day
I hide the pain
behind Blue-Green eyes,
wishing someone somday
will unravel my cheesy disguise.
But...

To Have and To Hold
To find something that springs to dawning light, 
  Dazzling in the dark, a diamond in a dusty bowl, 
When not really looking, only counting sheep at night 
  Convert to counting blessings, to cocaine for the soul. 
Polished the dreary calcium in...

My teacher died.
   
   His lungs failed him.

He taught me that the lungs
harbor grief.

   His lungs are gone.
My grief has only just arrived.


   He used his lungs to power
his Power.
To power his speech.
His lungs let him connect
to...

Thrilled
My love, have you finally found?
That my steps don't even touch the ground?
My head's always wrapped in fog,
And I'm caught singing to the dog?
It's all because you thrill me.

I chase you around with a crazy hunger,
And in some way feel decades younger,
I sleep smiling big,...

Little Man
A cannibal of currency
You’re not yourself anymore.
Became your purse long ago,
Sense of self tied to coins
Of which you’ve never held.

Little man, little man,
where is your home?
The house on this hill
Just an empty shell
Painted like so much canvas.

There for the eyes of your peers
But your peers...

It was 3 in the morning.
Boldly he sat up in bed !
Carolyn ! Carolyn ! He said- -
I’m dead ! I’m Dead

Sleepily she answered slowly “Why Charles? Why do you think you are dead?’

Because, - - I can see it - - I have a...

CATZ

Who thinks they understand cats,
Why they behave as they do?
I don’t know, how ‘bout you?

Why my sly, fickle feline
Demands attention Tuesday
Then, Wednesday, walks away?

Why, most cats are such gourmets.
You think he’ll only like fish,
Always pukes beef in his dish.

So, you splurge, buy fancy feast –
Finest...

Struggles of a Poet
How can I write 
As plain as day
But have no delight
In what you take away

I speak of the sky
A royal blue
You deep fry
My chosen hue

I struggle to say
I'm feeling pain
Your mind goes stray
My efforts are vain

I suffer through words
Bleeding in ink
You naively refer
Without a blink

You...

fair maiden I love you so,

Wrinkles
the wrinkles on your own hands

 

(no matter how many lotions you have rubbed on them, no

matter how much vitamin e oils, no matter how many

antioxidants you consume---all in the attempt to stall or

at least slow down the process)

 

glare

up

at

you.

 

the small mountains rippling along...
