Tapestry of Life**

In the intricate tapestry of life, vibrant memories weave their threads, each one shimmering with its own hue. The echoes of past workplaces linger like faint, nostalgic perfume, evoking a bittersweet blend of longing and relief. Seacrest, with its relentless morning shifts and haunting graveyard hours, etched an indelible mark on my soul—a

The Ledger

In smoky halls where echoes groan,
they carved the truths in tempered stone,
yet none recall the scribe who wrote—
a chap in boots and mismatched coat.

His quill was plucked from harpy's wing,
he’d hum while making corpses sing,
and in his book, no saints nor rules—
just jesters crowned as sacred fools.

He’d scrawl: “The Pharaohs danced in socks,”
“Atlantis sank for

Ledger In Blood

Paying hard
the money short
pockets empty
time aborts
A pound of flesh
bills remain
invoice closing
—  sealed with pain

Ledger of Love

In the shadows of the Victorian night,
Where candles flicker with amorous light,
A forbidden love fiercely burns,
In a pounding heart, passion yearns.

Amidst the lace and satin array,
Where masks conceal bygone dismay,
A dance of desire, a lover’s embrace,
In the clandestine rendezvous of covert grace.

Beneath the veil of societal guise,
Two souls entwined, beneath starry skies,
One bound

Ledger of Love

In the dim-lit chambers of the Victorian home,
Resides a wife, her heart a silent tome.
Once, love’s flame burned bright within her breast,
But now a thin whisp, a ghostly jest.

Her gaze averts from her husband’s weathered face,
As she tends to her duties with an air of grace.
Yet within her heart, no ember of affection

TRUTH'S LEDGER

There it was
What a surprise
The thing the heart
Had been searching, pulling,
Rummaging, toward...not knowing
PROOF

The proof of living
Written for all to see
There it was, in INK
BLACK, THICK INK
TRUTH had not stolen, taken, possessed
MONEY

Looking on through
The ledger accounted
For every penny spent
Not one dime toward the desire
Of the ONE yielding self for
FRUIT

LOVE keeps no account
The document is drawn up
In

Premium MemberThe Ledger of My Life

As end of year is drawing near
      I pause to view my balance sheet;
   my assets squared to debts compared
         reveal my worth...my year complete.

The gains I made and debts I paid
      while navigating through

The Divine Ledger

I was born with a number of handicaps:
My mother’s myopia, and Dad’s hairline,
Mom’s high blood pressure, 
My father’s sleep apnea,
And a human being’s mortality.

Surgery has improved my sight.
One pill each day keeps my blood pressure down.
A CPAP machine cured my snoring.
I’ll just live with the baldness,
But nothing cures the mortality.

So I will try to get

Ledger

Hereto while my soul lies dying,
throttled by the winds of change,
hobbled by the wrath of ages,
nothing but a gasp remains.

There abides a wisp of pity
tempered with a shred of grace,
an iota of compassion
on this saint/sinner's face.
 
I'm not meant to meet my maker
till I've done what I must do
to set the ledger to His liking,
