We were partying
Drinking and smoking
Laughing to the jokes, a friend was telling
While some were dancing
Suddenly he choked, as he was laughing
He started coughing heavily.
Another was laughing
Thinking it's a joke
As he drag the smoke, he also choked
Now we have two victims, I hope they break the yoke
They keep on coughing, heavily with all eyes absolutely red.
They broke the party
Into two different parts
Some were trying to help them recover
While others were busy dancing
They were unaware
The music is so loud and lovely
Then I choked
While Shouting for attention, a support.

time travels heavily in rousing screech
to strangle smiles from mind's untold
my waving grimace implored beseech
under shadowed cleft of chalky Wold
where lapping rays of yellowed gloss
and green clings on each blade of grass
to blanket earth in warmth of moss
for breath of steam and bite to pass
but pass is slow as minds there reel
and such the rolling hills show grace
but mountains roll inside I feel
keeping undulating lands from face
my orbit slows and shows refrain
until I circle the sun again

rice and gravy perfectly made
for some reason, the liver goes well with it
i would rather have some neckbones
however, somebody out there and hungry would love to take my place right now
buttermilk biscuits almost puts me to sleep
the honey butter is a pleasant surprise
the shells and cheese with bacon bits, to me, balances it out rather well
i remember when i was that somebody out there hungry wishing i was who i was observing while salivating
one night, i middle aged guy stopped at my car and told me his story
i went into a burger king and bought him some food and a cup of water
at the time, i had just finished eating dinner bought with my plasma donation money
the tears of gratitude in his eyes represented his truth to me
i drove back 'home' that night heavily humbled

Heavily Veiled~
A Poem by Debbie_Philly
Life love hope dreams
Friends lovers passion
streams like a steam liner
bulldozing through me
The waves that seem to
come all so frequently
crashing into my life
my thoughts my soul
Never giving a chance
to swim above it always
floating just on the top
enough to breath in rushed
fast paced sprints
Dieing day by day
hour by hour
minute by minute
take me out of this race
Sun filled days run into
pitch black nights
never feeling the difference
in this cloud filled haze
The darkness comforts me
hides the flaws my face
my pain encased like a
cocoon of wrath made
just for me
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER
No longer climbing but scaling
these walls nails replaced by
claws leaving imprints in the cement
of this concrete jungle
Dream big they say find you way
they say.... " You Dream Big" !!!
I'm tired of the lies shrouded
in conceptions of long ago truths
Heavy... too Heavy
This veil is too thick
and my eyes are tired

People hold judgements close to their hearts.
Some judgements are not nice.
Others think highly of this man.
I have had this delima the last few day,s
Everyone says I should not care and to stay away.
How do I not care if this man is so dear?
How do I not care when he is who I am?
How should I handle the word cancer as it flows from his lips?
I know he messed up big I am not condoning it.
This is the man who brought me up.
This man never walked out when my mother left,
he stuck around for years after that.
I saw him just the other day he was all dark and gray.
The cancer is taking over his body every day.
here i sit to watch and see,
just how long this father will have to be to me.
What a sad sight for all involved when there is nothing that can be done.
I guess God will call upon he when his time has come!
