I see the sky it is blue
The heavenly body are three, 2
And then there's you
The hue,
of those colors passes through
Whispers reigns winds that blown. Now
...blew

I aint no polyamory girl, I have my standards in this world,
my belief is strong, I made this stand, I am a woman, wanting one man.
I love your heart, the way you care, but this ole heart aint willing to share,
I'm a good catch, oh don't you see, Being a third wheel just aint for me.
We had our fun flying up high, through the clouds and beautiful sky,
But you blew it!
I gave my all, its a done deal, I aint gonna be no third-party wheel,
Yeah you Blew it!
Time together on the beach was fun, enjoying life under the sun,
You spoke with kindness from the start, roped me in then broke my heart.
I tried being patient, waiting my turn, but when it comes to her, you're gonna burn,
It won't be easy, but I will heal, while you're stuck on stupid, with lots to deal.
We had some good times, I won't forget, but I'm moving on with no regret,
It aint me, it's totally you, the trust is gone and now we’re through,
You blew it!
Bullet straight to the heart
Hurtful words harsh and not easily forgotten
No redos to earn trust

Got the "Blues from Boos!"
Crowd Blew! "Booed" on "Blue Suede Shoes!"
Got the "Blues from Booze!"
Knew a young chickie named Joan
Had a full body erogenous zone
Just shaking her hand
Blew her whistle and
Her face turned a deep crimson tone
Why the judge blew his own
brains out because he refused
to go through on ciro Gargano
corruption packet abuse
of power gross negligence
excessive bullying and
organized crime the judge
sat under a tree put a
shotgun in his mouth
and bam he decided to
blow his own brains out
there you have it children
gathered around parents
corruption is a serious
criminal intent i will never
ever fear bullying from
corruption under ciro
gargano arson murderer
of nine orders falsifying
documents bullying
intimidation by arson
murderer of 9 I will never
fear your threats on
license plates this resulted
in the Judge blowing his
own brains out sorry Ciro
Gargano stop killing your
twisted hell on earth
9 nails 9 needles 9 pins
9 dead judges 9 elderly
persons perished in the fires
oblivion is nothing new ~ i’ve been there once and will go back too
i awoke crying as sensations grew ~ til death rubbed out all i knew
god only knows who’s really who ~ i’m bamboozled a sign could do
blackboard equations esoteric and true ~ chalk dust for us to chew
can’t see past these monokus ~ that’s okay try this existential clue
life blindly flails on through ~ to bumble and fumble like mr magoo

For He blew me a kiss
He created me
He made in me
And I reverence HIM
As I melt in HIM
For He blew me a kiss
For his Spirit flows
Deep inside me a grows He knows
For He is the reason that my life essence shows (glows)
For He blew me a kiss
For He blew me a kiss
And HIS wind went through my nostrils into my lungs
and I became a living soul and my heart began beating
and He fashioned me He molded me and placed me in a vessel
For He blew me a kiss
so that I may worship Him so that may be a loving being
so that I may be a care taker a caregiver so that I may be free
My God kissed me
With all of his love He create me
My God loves me with all of HIS heart He came down in humans flesh
and He died for me
He resurrected Himself He died for me
He gave me breath inside of this flesh
For He blew me a kiss
He created me
He made in me
And I reverence HIM
As I melt in HIM
For He blew me a kiss
For his Spirit flows
Deep inside me a grows He knows
For He is the reason that my life essence shows (glows)
For He blew me a kiss

"From anthology " a love song "
She waved me off and then blew me a kiss,
As she slowly closed her door,
I remember thinking this was rather strange
For she had never blown me a kiss before!
It was the heart attack that took her life,
But at least her chest pains would be no more,
It was a neighbour checking up on her
Who had found her on the hallway floor.
She waved me off and then blew me a kiss,
As she slowly closed her door,
I remember thinking this was rather strange
For she had never blown me a kiss before!
I often wish I’d blown a kiss back to her,
As I’d driven off down the road,
For her little cottage lies empty now,
It is no longer my Mum’s abode.
She waved me off and then blew me a kiss,
As she slowly closed her door,
I remember thinking this was rather strange
For she had never blown me a kiss before!
And in my darkest imaginings
I can see tears forming in her eyes,
As she blew that final kiss to me,
Aware of her imminent demise …
The magic of love in those early years
So intense, so filled with suspense
What would it be like, that very first kiss
The feeling was so so intense
Just about more than I could bare
The anticipation, the longing to know
What all the older guys were raving about
“Making out” in the back row of the show
Eventually my time did finally arrive
Nearly blew my head off my shoulders
And that was only my very first kiss
What came later made me utterly smoulder
Won't go into detail but holy frigging crap
Sure made my temperature rise
Got all sweaty, totally forgot who I was
Greeted all my friends with high fives
Then I knew what all the fuss was about
Sure haven't forgotten it since
In fact, I consider myself a professional now
Could teach about love I'm convinced
Those fun filled days have long since departed
Only memories are left to remember
But holy cadoodle what a wonderful journey
As I'm nearing my month of December
As striking a picture, leaf-twirled
A little off the ground
For a colour movement
Autumn-rich skirts, pleated and whirled
In both the folk dances
Scot and gypsy present.
My house blew clear to Texas the cowboy said.
His spittle hit a saddle, and my face turned red.
He was crude for sure, but his stories were great.
I waited to hear more, and it was worth the wait.
He had stories about tornadoes and rattlesnakes too.
Shared some horrific details about hangings before he was through.
Why do you listen to that old coot? My mama said.
She does not know the beauty of an old crazy man’s head.
He can entertain the best of us with stories of far away.
Much farther than most of us will ever travel if Ma has her say.
“Past Abilene that old house began to fall apart, he said with a grin.
I love his stories, his mannerisms, his invented words, and his fantastical vim.
players have been black
even though we blew our stack
will return and be coming back
when we would clamor
he hit my head with a hammer
would still be scammer
we will take a peak
all those things we want to seek
bothered by weather which is bleak
when we want to singg
birds we have heard in the spring
song book we should bring
when we sand a song
we had a page which was wrong
on right page belong
at a recital
each song we sang had a title
singing would be vital
brady we forbade
with a plain which was well laid
him be sure to trade
Soft Zephyr pulled a tantrum, I was blown
to a far-off landscape
alien place, all on my own
trapped, no escape.
Please, please Zephyr I need to be rescued
cruel don't leave me here
shaking with fright, badly bemused
consumed with fear.
Wonderful miracle, gentle Zephyr
caressed my tear-stained face
your grace remembered forever
I was embraced.

While driving his tire blew
Throwing him off the road right through
A solid steel guard rail
He suddenly turns pale
When realizing, he was thru
