"Forever" seemed like a long time
The taste buds had worn off the desire to eat from the same plate
My eyes feasted on other froral ceramic plates not of my cabinet
I ate from one plate to the next interchangeably
How fast the vows had forgoten the path to my heart
My "plate" just as beautiful, i wonder how fast my eyes had chosen open blindness
............................
Here i lay, breathing by neck
Dying two fold
acknowledging the glitter was only granular's of poison from the grim reaper
My plate is broken and so is my health
I only have myself to crucify
I natured it
Entertained it
Invited it in

Today
I went to the swap and shop early.
I met a man there with a military hat on.
He told me that he was a twenty-year veteran.
I was glad to meet him,
and thanked him for his fine service.
Then we talked a bit about the Arizona audit.
This is where he told me he was not,
and never would be political.
I was extremely saddened, as he used political
and patriotic interchangeably...
and then went on
to not care...
I said little,
as I did not want to make him angry.
My thought was;
that I am not personally political either,
but I love the truth.
I respect and admire all heroes that stand up
in the face of evil.
I love the constitution from the first word...
to the last. (no changes)
I stand for America
and in God We Trust!
While I respect the point of view of others,
I remind myself, if not them,
that we have the right to have a different opinion
and even speak out loud, here in AMERICA...
because we are FREE,
until we are not!

Fluently flowing from her beautiful head,
Are locks of perfection,
Stopping abruptly at her back.
Sloping steep with elegance,
Forms her neck,
Supporting her head like it holds the world.
Smooth silky plateaus are her shoulders,
The sturdy top table,
Balancing good and bad like a scale.
Her torso was that of sexy seduction,
Twisting and Turning, confusing my love,
Tight compactness driving me wild.
Hypnotic waves sent from her hips,
Curvacious winding roads of elusiveness,
Her worst is her best interchangeably,
Skin tone of ebony, caramel, and honey,
A GODDESS sitting on the pedestal of Heaven.
