Premium Member Rarely Met a Better Man
We communicate without language,
Gestures,symbols,motions of a hand.
He understands my language. 
I struggle with his.
But somehow we make it work.
We've lived together 14 years now,
Never thought to make it legal. 
Our love could not be 
More committed with a license .
He likes his hair long,
I prefer...

Rarely Spoken Words

"Please forgive me, I was wrong" --
" when I thought I was right "....
If you ever hear those
rarely spoken words keep
them near your soul...

If the person that spoke them without
coercing-stood strong against their ego-
Liken to a rare jewel, they are.
You...

Her thoughts rolls as a high-speed rail

It's Rarely Sunny In Philadelphia
Being a Philadelphia sports fan 
 is like being a Hawaiian who likes icicles... what's the point

I barely remember the two years the Flyers won in the seventies
Now the Sixers in 83 that was amazing, but since then...nothing
When I was fifteen I seen the Phillies...

Known Now, A Hidden Sweet Wonder Rarely Known
        ( Shadow Sonnet, form number 6 )

Green forest glowings transcends earthly green.
Masked veils waiting to be wisely unmasked.
Why hide the answer after asking why?
Would a forest's skin be only bark...

Timothy Rarely Laughed
Timothy rarely laughed but had a certain wicked grin,
not that grin when one smiles too widely:
his untrustworthy looks were very scary:
why couldn't he act like the happy Huckleberry Finn?

Unforgiving, rebellious, arrogant and insane
were the many attributions to his character;
everybody hated his attitude and colored hair:
they...

Premium Member Rarely Is There Change Left Over
the only thing 
that one can 
be certain of is
death and 

change
changing times
more changes 
over time

more c/t
change this to that
change in the pockets became plastic
plastic becomes digital bits in a changeless world

they say that a changeless world
is a dead world
change ends with death or does...

That Old Yet Rarely Used Path
Many times I’ve longed to give up when tribulations did corrupt my life when I was 
young
But then you told me I would be unworthy of your only son

So from that day on I traveled along that old yet rarely used path
And I was surprised...

Where Rivers Rarely Flow
In the chill of the night 
your closeness seduces me 
and warms this tepid soul 
let me linger lightly upon your body 
and lie down across those loving fields
brush your passions against my holy spirit
touch my temple of knowledge with feathery delight
enter my ruins and...

It's Rarely Sunny In Philadelphia Part 3
I'm still smarting from the Sixers devastating victory a few weeks ago.
It been raining the last two days, but today it isn't, just cold.

You know, just when you think it's in the bag, you then realize
that you threw that bag out, last week.
But the Sixers,...

It's Rarely Sunny In Philadelphia Part 2
They tied that losing record and then went out and won, in a blowout 
Can you believe it, they can't even get a record for losing
And then they go on and now have lost three in a row, go figure.
I did take the next day...

I'Ve Been Shaken But Rarely Stirred
I've been used and abused, mistreated and mislead,
so many times before, it's wonder I'm not dead.
Been thrown downstairs, pushed through the door
knocked out a window, flattened on the floor.

Been raped and defiled, bled from wounds made,
the cuts that bled soundlessly, those scars did fade.
Life hasn't...

Premium Member It's Rarely Known
It's rarely known but studies have shown
Pencils last fifty thousand words
Worms eat themselves if they can't find food
Now I find that totally absurd!

It's rarely known but studies have shown
Elephants can't jump, wish they could
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain
I know people that applies...

Premium Member We Rarely Say Thank You
We never appreciate feeling well,
Even when we are sick and swollen
And hurting.

We never appreciate feeling well.
Even when we have been sick for 
Ten days with the sorest throat
We have ever had

We never appreciate feeling  well
Even after we have had shingles and
Tuberculosis and blubonic 
Plague...
