Why does a winter day
often cast
Upon its grey streets
thoughts of the past
Sunshine, we gaily thought
would never fade
Laughter and lightness,
promises made
Why does life often
take a wrong turn
Why does it take
a lifetime to learn
Endings are, at their best,
always sad
Goodbyes are the worst:
incurably bad
I realize Spring's flowers
are very near
Robins will fly in with
new songs to hear
But in Winter's shadows
our memory hides
And in its stark echos
sadness abides

We live melodramas and are mad clownish characters, unaware of who we really are. I was made aware of this by three young boys, who were part of a hillbilly
family living in the forest. When they came and interacted with us it became painfully apparent. They were the elders and we were living in a mad world, seemingly incurably insane, and running wild. I believe they had little or no contact with today's world. I changed that day, and eventually realized that the problem was we never live in the now. We think we do, but it is an illusion, that keeps us enslaved and deeply brainwashed. There is a way to find your true self,
seek... The Power of Now, a book that can help you live the life you want, need, and deserve! The life that you live is in a dark tunnel, The Power of Now is a light at the end of it. There you will find joy and peace...forever!

Flirting with disaster
On this fast-moving highway of life;
Speed demons incurably infected
With the disease of impatience.
I tremble with disgust
When shaken by a fierce gust of wind
Engendered by ill-advised velocity.
Acknowledge me, disrespecting demons.
Don't barrel your way through as if I'm not there,
Lest you recklessly careen off
An approaching curve on the road;
A hefty price paid
For sledgehammer stupidity.
The rules of the road couldn't be
More simple; slow down
And stop for me.
Come to a complete stop
Like everyone else; look sideways,
Then proceed with caution.

An inhospitable truth I have
To carry throughout my life
That must stay buried in my heart –
What a terrible truth!
It dances on my tongue
When I feel somebody knows.
On the scale of history – it nags;
On a bone – it gnaws.
It’s the shadow that follows
My genetic path incurably.
It will follow me into death
And be the Ghost beside me.

Don’t try to make common Lemon,
Though we know Lemon is common:
Those who do obeying Demon,
King David’s wayward son Amon…
No risks of sleeping with sister
Nor by her begetting a mister -
Lemon is quite medicinal,
Rejecting the point criminal;
By the average white treasured,
Whose clear merits he has measured…
Lemon: Green Citrus here with us
Yet, oranges we’d fill in bus,
By this showing on the juicy
Man incurably the choosy…
Feared by Cancer: The Terminal
On this have been works: seminal;
Still for Nigerians Tangerine,
Just like for Guitar Tambourine…
But this won’t be changing its grant
Of a smell uniquely fragrant.

Again, and again
Lips stained by death
Uttering words—dead, dying, gone forever
Incurably cast to eternal rest
Spoken in whispers
Words drenched in tears
Besieged within antiseptic walls
The grim shadow of Reaper again appears
Pandemonium unfettered
Unmasked villains cloaked in watery layers
An ominous choir
Dancing with ruthless, politicians and liars
A factitious malady
Once bound by walls of glass
Death’s sting unleashed
Fearlessly pilfering one’s breath last
Loved ones menaced
Peers devoured
Papered masks hiding hopeless lies
How many must die in our darkest hours
From bended knee
To a deadpan god I weep
Cowering behind the inequity of man
What you have sowed, you shall now reap
Fists clinched set before trembling lips
Eyes strained by everlasting mist
Spewing words not fit for a god
Questioning aloud, did you ever exist
God of mine, unveil the truth
Ere another dies
Lover, friend or innocent youth
Forbid dear Abba, that it be I
Sorrow in the Land of Desolation
Too often my lips stained by Death
Friends, family…and God now gone
Tell me please, what have I left?

Oh, what is this thing called love?
It's a concept I don't understand.
Delight that occurs at first sight?
Or can it be carefully planned?
Is it something that lasts for all time,
or will it run into the sand?
Would Priapus profit from praise,
or should he be promptly trepanned?
Is love as elusive as luck,
or can it be had on demand?
A candle that burns all alone,
or a flame to be furiously fanned?
Is love like a light in the soul,
that will last and endure and withstand?
Is it not just a chemical shot,
just a spurt or a squirt from a gland?
Does this love thing ennoble us all,
or should it be totally banned?
A danger to all it ensnares,
or something incurably bland?
A bonus and boon for mankind,
that ought to be loose in the land,
or a danger deserving restraint,
to be chained and detained on remand?
Oh, what's this enigma named love?
Allurement? Procurement? Command?
Will it harm me, or charm me, I ask:
should I fake it, or take it in hand?

I like a good conversation ~ about love and life
An objective opinion or a subjective opinion
Belissima ~ Amore
Age does not protect against love
Your sweet smile makes me melt
Yes, I'm incurably romantic
Sweet strawberries with cream vannlije
Belissima ~ Amore
In your eyes rushes my inner thoughts ~ intoxicating
Life is a dream ~ Your smile is like the stars in the sky
It is fate that decides
The important thing is not to find one ~ but finding the right one
Belissima ~ Amore
Your kiss is like drowning in soft chocolate
May I kiss you again

Forever In Your Eyes Contest
Sponsor: John Hamilton
Fever began the moment you touched my spirit
Our own destiny remains so sacred I can hear it
Rendezvous brought by tender vows so easily spoken
Eternal gratitude is embraced and completely awoken
Vermont we married along the misty sea side shore
Everything romantic; for it’s you, my love, I adore
Reveries speak volumes as we touch with desire
Integrated with compassion, for you light my fire
Nicholas, my beloved, it’s always you I’ve longed for
Your essence fills my adoration so let’s close the door
Oblivious to noisy streets your eyes gape into mine
Understanding our depth as we pour a glass of wine
Relentlessly we thirst for profound words to express
Everything intense in sheer love expecting nothing less
Yearning beyond comprehension our souls unite eternally
Evermore we dance and laugh brought forth internally
Seen only in your eyesight our devotion stricken incurably

A Haven of Dreams
I long to go and see where time stands still,
Where breezes blow and branches sway.
I see it now beyond that distant hill,
It beckons me and shows the way.
As I am drawn beneath its potent spell,
‘T is sweet serenity I yearn.
In tender moments my emotions swell,
I count the days till you return.
Our haven nestles in a leafy glade,
A sanctuary it’s now become.
And there at peace we’d sit in gentle shade,
Hear songbirds trill while bees would hum.
How sweet this place that sets my heart aflame,
That you will come, my constant thought.
Without you here it does not feel the same.
Incurably, my heart is caught.
And if this dream of mine should ever die,
It’s there I’ll go to rest awhile.
The sunlight that adorns a cloudless sky,
A mere reflection of your smile.

we live in a world of insecurities;
the incurably diseased wonderings
of the depraved body and soul
there's a cord left to be released.
yet we only speak of the things that we want to hold
but i guess at least we don't live in darkness.
this world is simply blind
Do you feel free enough?

Living and loving
Makes the difference
To love and to care is a pledge
When one is deeply in love
This love become truer as promise
We ended each day and for more
Incurably linked and insurmountable romance
We could forget the time and our name
But we understandably care and dare
And our ROMANCE shall live!

If I become the future it is only because I am the past
If I achieve everything it is only because nothing lasts
If I conquer the wretched and overcome the pain
It is only because I am self-serving and incurably vain
If I don't know how much is enough and when to stop wanting more
It is only because I've seen these faces, I've been here before
If I won't give up and will not accept defeat
It is only because I've been knocked down enough to know the strength of standing on my own two feet

I’ve seen so much
In the few years I’ve been here
Some things witnessed
Are my deepest fears
Not too long ago
On July 26th of 2004
Two great friends
That I greatly adore
The first on this day
Was my dear ol’ grand dad
The other was a kid
And this kid had
A bright promising future
Just out of high school
And he always seemed
Oh so cool
Thing happen
Unpredictable and unjust
Yet push on
Everyone must
What is done is done
The past we cannot change
And at time this causes our lives
To be rearranged
Honor their memory with laughter
Do not dwell on the grief
Just move on
You must believe
I have lost men
Whose shoes I could only hope to fill
Some had passed
Because they were incurably ill
Some have died
Before their time
Passing in the very beginning
Of their promising prime
What makes a real man
Is not how he starts things
It is the kind of finish
He shall bring
