Afraid but totally, to be unsupported,
With not posting, the poetess cavorted!
Till a blythe, joyful spirit appeared,
Allaying all those ghostly fears to disappear!
With that, she penned with saisfacction .
Not even a broken hearft, coud halt her traction!

Interlude That Did Include To Collude
This is all we hear about on MSNBC.
While we were in middle of an interlude,
Things apparently are properly viewed,
What he did,
God forbids;
Trump can have the ability to collude.
Jim Horn
To either conclude or not to
conclude that Trump did collude
Before starting a family feud,
Which we know coud be skewed.

Watch them walking down the streets
Nothing is as it seems
You’re no different, they’re like you
Finding a way to make it through.
When you’re choking like theirs no air
When everything around is just not fair
When you searched for reason everywhere
Look within and take every dare.
Be what you have to be, make it right
Let no one else mess with your mind
Don't you care what they coud say
It’s your life, here and today.
I heard the beating of your heart
Passion striking like a flaming dart
No regrets, free your mind
Love will win this silent fight
Don't die for them wild child.

Sometimes my mind feels lost in a maze
A place its been tracking back and forth for days
And days
The trails of time sit open wide,
But still i feel trapped in the events of my own mind
Things that were and were not
I try to unravel as it blurs from my thoughts
I wish i coud silence them all
But difficult it is,
Like trying to catch falling raindrops
I feel a call beaconing me
but i am uncertain of its origin,
Or where it may lead me..
Because Far Far away from home
I have sought and gone out to, time and time again
Like a mission to find something thats already buried within
God just give me patience and rejuvenate me like the times before.
May it become a trend
Because this trust I cannot lay waste to
Inside of me it has already been

I've got the manners of a lizard,
yet she keeps saying I'm a wizard
She is so happy self-misleading:
she's sick to watch her step
I get myself a beer and sip it
She fails to learn, no way to drip it:
neither a word, nor any trifle,
just nothing coud have helped
I get myself a shot and watch walls
Out of her purse a mirror falls,
it does not break but kinda tolls.
She watches it and goes: "Yep.."
And on and on the bar's full
and on and on I stay cool.
Unless the walls sway,
then
I need another pull.

( ITS ALL GONE )
Michael couldnt help him self, he had a bad addiction.
He coud sit there for hours, and not care about the friction.
His wife was hanging by a thread, their life was in a shamble.
He thought that he could fix it all, whenever he would gamble.
Dollar after dollar, each day he pockets would be clean.
Hoping that he would strike it rich, on a winning slot machine.
At first he only spent a little, the problems werent that bad.
Now the loan sharks looking for him, and everything he had.
Blowing paycheck after paycheck, trying to get out of debt.
Even putting the mortgage, of their house placed on a bet.
Michael was addicted, and there wasnt that much time.
His kids and wife would soon be gone, cause he crossed the line.
His job was on the edge of gone, his bills are months behind.
The car got repossessed last week, and he owes so many fines.
Unless he realizes he has an addiction, and its layed out on the lawn.
Everything that surrounds his life, will soon be its all gone.

A warm smile of hello in the sanctuary of poets
The name is Arden G.; here to express not to impress
If I coud do an eye-contact and a firm handshake in the virtual land of PoetrySoup
Would be a dream come true to meet great poets called, "Souper".
If I could move heaven and earth; I'd love to meet Linda or PoetDestroyer, SKAT and Julie Rasley
The first few who commented on my featured poem, "LOVE" and welcomed me as a family
Anne Lise Andresen who always drop by and Sheri Harper that ranked my first poem entry, "A Shot of HIV"
I'll tell them a simple, "THANKS" and encouragement of "MORE POWER".
For no words could capture the emotions of knowing wonderful artists in this world.
Of course I'd like to meet and learn something 'bout Yasmin Khan
Who advocates to bind each poets; pure intentions to make us one
I'll tap her shoulder and tell her, "IT'S A JOB WELL DONE".
Now everybody's sharing their depths and self one by one.
Is there a way to meet the founder of Poetrysoup?
To tell HIM, "BRAVISSIMO" and my new "SOUPER-FRIEND" too.

She's been gone for 16 years now
but her memory lingers on.
It seems like only yesterday,
I still can't believe she's gone!
From the first day that I met her,
there was never any doubt.
She's the one who taught me,
what love was all about.
Whenever I came home from work,
she met me at the door!
She was always glad to see me,
we had such great rapport.
In the evening while I watched TV,
she would snuggle in real tight.
Then when bedtime rolled around,
she would sleep with me all night.
We loved each others company
it coud not be denied.
For 14 years, my faithfull friend,
was right there by my side.
Her breed was, Boston Bulldog,
but she was gentle as could be.
Her coat was mostly brown and white,
but was a true-blue friend to me!
I've had happy times throughout my life,
of that, there is no doubt!
But "Goldilocks", my canine friend,
showed what love was all about!

One thing, I've come to realise
to some this may come as a surprise
Realities a big bunch of lies
see for yourselves, open your eyes!
We've all slept for far too long
allowed way too many wrong
lost amid the maddening throng
not quite square, more oblong
a mirrored distortion of how we coud look
hiding how we really should look
I'm not sure how it was lost, or why it was took
but, our compassions been sold for gold
an' truths been traded for lies bought and sold
Sheople walk around like one big stupid herd
Money, Religion and Terror seem to be the keyword
That stops humanities caring message from being heard.

I cut off my nose
And I sent it to you
Now I don’t smell you
Anymore,
Like I used to –
The cigarette smoke
The Big Red breath
The smell of your cologne
It was the Black Death –
It was harder to
Breathe after that.
But what did you care?
You didn’t want any mail
You didn’t even appreciate
The symbolism there.
I VanGoghed you
You ignorant prick
What didn’t you get?
It’s a nose you coud pick
The least you could have done
Is sent my nose back
But instead you fed
My nose
To your cat

Thoughts they are both good and bad, just letting my mind run through how we
were so perfect together. Thinking abput your soft voice leaking into my heart and
letting you stay there for a while, then thinking how we used to fight and how you
smashed my heart with the violence of your words. All i have to say is im sorry, i
wish i coud do us different but lifes unfair..I might as well deal with this pain and
hurt. Now i must mend my bleeding, broken heart.

I wish i coud "moo' at your window;
And let not you sleep
I wish i could be a pussy cat,
And to your room i could creep..
I wish i could be a big brown mouse,
And your dirty socks i'll eat
And when you sleep to your bed i'll climb;
And bite your dirty feet!
I wish i could be a porcupine,
And i'll make you sit on me..
And when you sit and you get hurt;
I bet it's the best scene to see..!!!

This poem is inspired by and I guess coud be in conjunction With Andrea Dietrich's wonderful
little poem" Dog that Wears a Cone" so her's should be read first if you have not already!
We once had a Lab, black with white socks,
he was so very loveable, but I'm afraid,
dumber than a box of rocks.
For the third time that "houdini dog" got loose,
and for the third time got a bad case of porky quills.
That dog would often slip his noose.
Took him five days to get home from them hills.
The poor dog limped home almost dead,
Vet filled him with meds,
and stuck a cone on his poor little head!
and for two days he went through all Andrea said.
Then I came home and hurried,
Cause my wife called quite worried.
Seems loveable coneheaded Max acted quite sick,
it had been two days since he got into that fix.
And for two days he had not himself relieved!
We pulled off his cone so he was able to sniff,
and he made straightway for some trees,
he sniffed around and his leg he did lift...
and goodness gracious..how he peed!!!
