Customer Service...I'M Still Waiting
I'm still waiting
How much time has elapsed
Think I'll read
While I'm waiting
I just read a chapter

I do believe my call is being answered
No, a voice on a machine echoes
"Your call will be taken in the order in which it was received"

Great
What number caller was I
Probably the...

A Part of Me, a Part of You
Art splashed upon naked walls
spilling life where water falls
dams shall break, setting free
a part of you,  a part of me

Blues and reds and yellows blend
painting stories that'll never end
clouded magic becoming clear
inhibitions lain, drawing near

Blushed the light, furtive peeks 
gentle strokes grace her cheeks
in vestal hands...

Pointing Back
Pointing back

From where I sit,
this crowded street of frowning faces and lying eyes
meander past the mom and pop facades with kids in tow…
tethered by their wants
and constant whining

now glaring at me as if,  
I am the problem

I wave them off in my best oceanic...

Premium Member Aging Gracefully
Sally found her hair was turning gray
Looking younger was what she did pray
Alas, hair kept graying
And her heart kept praying
Even though her mane was on display

She wasn’t too keen on the new hair dye
Still decided to give it a try
Weeks later, out came roots
Her hair...

Premium Member A Way Back To the North Pole
I’m so afraid, oh, so afraid, a melody I sing.
I need to find a way back to the North Pole? 
I shouldn’t have sneaked on Santa’s sleigh. 

I was all excited, I had made plans to sneak on Santa’s sleigh.
I worked all day finishing up...

Albanian Valle
Dr Fatmir Terziu

An early form of prayer
spiritual strength,
a condition. Patches of land 
underneath tasselled feet
become rhyming music;
thought, conscience, art;
in happiness, perdition, pain.
When they touch up there
hands, feet, bodies, minds
become one. 

Albanian Valle, Ancient Valle!

This beautiful form of art
A bust on the tip of the forehead

Bad Hair Day
One Christmas day when a bald man called Ray,
Gave his femme fatale, a silk negligée.
She whispered, please close your eyes,
While I touch up, your surprise.
But his surprise was a hair piece toupee.

Oh, What You Do To Me
The sun touches the edge of the horizon
The sky lit by the moonlight 
The stars scattered on the canvas up above
The silhouette of your face is all I see
I love you are the words whispered to me
Holding my face in his hands
His lips pressed against...

Could Be Clairvoyant
Could Be Clairvoyant

It could it be she is clairvoyant
Always knows how much will be spent
And best ways to make many friends
Will always follow latest trends
Touch up her hair using a tint.
