A stein filled with sparkling water
It is Pineapple Sparkling water
I enjoy Pineapple sparkling water
Poured cold into my stein
Sipping it with a meal
Then the stein put aside
On the counter by dirty dishes
The stein was empty out
Without thought until it was done
A good laugh was heard
Then poured...

Frank N. Stein began to whine,
    He'd been accused of awful crime,
      Scaring little kids in their bed,
Setting off metal detectors with his head,
     He just may need a re-design....

ON THE TOUR BUS IN SAN  MAR-ANDORRA-STEIN


“We are older than  your George Washington;
We have  the tallest fields of cotton
West of the Volga; and our castles are small
But all  guaranteed to enthrall.......”

It appears this swing-a-cat country  
With its pipsqueak army ...

Frank N. Stein began to whine,
  No one ever asked him out to dine,
 Dracula said, " You can come with me,
I know where some good neck might be,"
  But Frank thought he should decline....

Are those thoughts you put in
  what I once valued more

Or would what I put out
  be the end winning score

Did I need your ears
  for my voice to become whole

Or would I rather them deafened
  words deep in my soul

In...

Wine
is fine
when I dine.
Some in the stein
can be very fine.
It is time to resign
when I can’t walk a straight line.
It comes from the Rhone or the Rhine.
The California stuff is most fine.

To soothe the soul
To vent
A release
An escape
To share my words
To create stories
Learning myself
And the characters I build
I write because
Its who I am
A writer
A worldbuilder
A character creator
An author...

Stomping 
   Stomping 
       Stomping 
Stop,
Please 
No control, 
Vehicle lurches 
But I’m just a
Passenger on this
Road of life...

Take a seat
Any seat
Twiddle your thumbs
And
Don’t wait on me
My life
Is full,
Not revolving around you
Are you surprised?
Shouldn’t be, because
I live my life
Not waiting 
On you...

Sitting here
Typing away
I’m brought back
To the days,
Ones long ago
When I brought you
Into this world,
Nineteen hours 
Of labor,
Emergency surgery,
Exhaustion beyond
Anything I’ve
Ever experienced
Though…
It all disappeared
The moment
I held you 
Striking blue eyes,
A gorgeous smile
Showing a set
Of dimples, which
Lit up 
Your face, and
Made my day
Those same feelings
Took hold, 
The...

hidden
and kept 
from others
like skeletons 
inside of 
a closet
a conundrum 
tears down 
relationships
burden on minds
emotional pain
stress and anxiety 
physical consequences
trust 
and honestly
relieves you of 
the deepest, darkest of
SECRETS...

He dreams 
Of eyes, and 
Hair of blonde
	Special
A diamond
A twilight
In the night...
