The Energy It Takes For
Tedium Hurts More Than
The Time It Wastes/Saves.

Premium Member Your Remembrance

Your Remembrance

A time, just a time, lived to you in his heart, passed age, this love
Age, nothing remained, an empty marble tablet in a cemetery park
Your path walk is late, didn’t you see? Worn, unreadable letters 
On the stone, all the noble sentences were addressed to you, only

But, but someone is waiting for you. In the cemetery, still alone
Here is a stone, not a gravestone or a memorial stone. Just a stone
Invisible this past, hidden by ivy, a protective and friendly friend, love
Ivy, oh Ivy, I feel good under your anxious care, keep me here! Love

Love, past and missed desire. Oh, where is that time? The youth
The youth. The age of youngness. Age of burning love. Dead. Ours
Meeting with the love that kills nature. The human one. Killed love you
Love destroyed, a destroyed loved you. The stone. Radiating to you

Just a black tulip, please. And a whisky
Erma, I don’t need anything
Look at the faded portrait on my flat stone
Pure me with a bottle of whiskey. Famous Grouse

Drop down
A black tulip

Someone loved you
Leave him
Good


Premium Member Love

Love

Love, love
Yes or no?

I need that
But not this

Perfect world
Wished mind

Not here, there
Not in England

I loved a woman
Here, far from

Evil, evilish ego
More than me

Yes, she is evil
Said Satan

She wanted to kill you
She is perfect. Said Satan

Love
Poison
Here


You are a European
Not an English

Said Satan
My Master

No. Forget
Said Satan

Erma is English
You are European

She must respect Europe
You are a European
Said my Satan

Erma is a nazi
And you are a European
Erma is a busy woman

She is a super girl, 
the daughter of... 
Ask Charles, her lord

Vilmos, you are a European. 
Your home is waiting for you
Erma must respect you.

We have no time
You are a victim
Victim of what?

The parapsychological and 
Psychological mind power.
They want to rule the Earth

They working on special methods
to drive people. From there... From.

Love? Is it?
Where is that?
I do not know
don't answer.

The Chisolms

In a crepitated house, lived vagrants.
They came from the North as homeless.

The mother was mixed and the father was white.
They came with only shoes on their feet and the clothes on their backs.

On a warm day in May, the man the children mother was cheating with 
     killed their father.

Not to alter faith, in the month of May, Erma entered the house and 
     committed suicide.

Her last words were that her children would do better with her out 
     of their lives.

The oldest child was fourteen years.
The youngest was three and cognitive impaired.

There were eleven children in all.
Someone sat their house on fire and now all’s gone.

Premium Member Cherries Canned Fresh Or In Jam

Cherries are delish
On top of a Banana Split
Topping on a Sundae center of whipped cream
Straight from the jar a tasty treat

They are so good by the pound
Fresh from the grocer
Get a bowl and bite around the pit
Or made into a jam_lickety split

But all those cherries have their pit 
A lot like life
There's lot of good
But always some strife

We learn the best lessons
When we're in the pits
Somewhat like we get bowl of cherries but soon only have pits
But wasn't the good part wonderful

(Thoughts came on this one after remembering the line
"If life is a bowl of cherries, why am I in the pits"..
I think that Erma Bombeck said that but not sure..
Just not my line orginally.)

Life Without Her

As tears flow down our faces in sad streams
Our minds drift away to bittersweet dreams
With heads held high, we push out bad thoughts
We all just make sure that we love her lots
Life without her is a hard story for us to tell
But we know that she wants us all to do so well
The looks of grief in this room are so very sad
Oh how I wish that things were not this darn bad
But what I want can not change how things are now
I'm trying to accept this, though I don't know how
Although it was her time and now it is done
I hope we can all remember the good times and fun
No words can express the extreme sadness I feel
Know that my pain, my tears and fears are for real
I know I will miss her every single day the same
And I am very proud to carry on her beautiful name
And with these beloved thoughts our wounds will heal
Deep inside my heart her everlasting love I'll seal

For my Granny -  Erma Willene Newell
