The Bodyguard Who Outsmarted the Queen-Once Upon a Time

Locked in the largest room of the  palace,
you live days in dire existence,
sunshine caresses you with sun rays,
breeze makes you breathe life;
anything at the swish of a wand is
given to you, lonely princess of Wales!

He has no loyal blood in him,
and as many children as you desire,
He can give you-at least two.
A boy who looks exactly like him,
a girl as gorgeous as you...
he can feel inside you'll be his.

Your jealous Queen, can scream her brain out
and tell you, " I don't like that bodyguard is a joker;
he's too poor and childish, he thinks he's another prince,
but he has nothing to give you...stay in your room, 
silly Rapunzel! He won't ever climb to this balcony:
your hair is too short and brittle! How can he do that? " 
You'll try to convince her that he is a great guy,
" But mom, he loves me more than anybody! "
" Love without money is a tree without fruit! 
Riches can buy many jewels! You're the next Queen!  
Her anger will shout her up and all will turn to gloom...
while he waits outside and freezing he rubs his red hands.

Her slickness won't last, she must have a weak spot;
if he courts her with his boyish charms, she'll become soft
and forget that a pretty princess adores him and woos him. 
" I got her on my strings...she'll be my animated puppet!"
Infatuation can be blinder than love; he will get her very drunk,
and have her thinking for a minute that she can have him! 

The princess and the bodyguard hug; they laugh aloud...
while the Queen sleeps on the sofa and snores, " She's too drunk,   
let her sleep for hours; we are going to elope and live happily! 
Ah! Such an unfair and vain mother she is! She'll realize that
even money isn't everything...if love palpitates in the heart! "
Try out his trick: be that bodyguard who outsmarted
the Queen and if you get lucky, you must thank him "

Premium Member An Odd Recognition


                        I couldn't find her, oh, where did she go?

                     Energetic young woman, that I used to know                      
                   
                  She'd once had her hair always done at the mall

                 She'd answer the phone any time one should call
 
                      I looked through her home where I knew 

                                    I should find her

                      It seemed Darker than once, though, 

                                My eyes are now blinder...
 
                  I stepped into the dismal and yellowed hall's light 

             A woman stood staring, and we both jumped with fright  

                  I drew in a quick breath, for soon I could see

                        An odd recognition, familiar to me
                              
                    I took a step closer; she took one as well,

                                The woman I'd sought...?
  
                              If so? She looked like hell.
                               
                                Then both our fists flew, 

                               With one piercing shout....
 
                                 She crumbled to pieces...

                              Bloody mirror... Thrown out!

Premium Member Seasons Dance Embracing Life Mystery

Written: June 25, 2023
______________________________________________________________

April noises and dawn heart roused me,
A symphony of awakening, yet I felt misery.
Confusion lingered such a cloud in my mind.
Yet I still desire morning comfort, which I find.

Spring sounds in the fall are a marvel to behold.
Life's wonders amaze me; my spirit is untold.
Youth, such as spring, filled with vibrant cheer,
But the forties, a season of alter, draw near.

The wind blows a flower without paean or reason.
Summer's honey-laden fruit recalls life's cannily reunion.
Such as poet's song, I crave secrecy and the unknown.
To accept the necessity, my impatience has outgrown

Today, I seek patience—the art of waiting.
In this need, bending of cosmos is dimly creating.
With spry passion, your eyes perceive stillness.
As mind unravels a mystery, an avowal to life's richness.

Beauty defined my universe, and ugliness was despised.
But mild years have lifted the veil and opened my eyes.
What I deemed nasty and odious, a blinder on my sight,
Wool in my ears, blocking out the unfamiliar light.

As a child, I loved flowers; their innocence was so pure.
But now I view their thorns, guarding their allure.
Without protection, they would wither and die.
A reminder that innocence needs to be fortified.

"Winter is a thief," I declared as a child.
robbed the earth of her sun-woven garment, leaving her wild.
Now that I grasp the sense of rebirth and rejuvenation,
The wind ripped away the aged, giving a fresh creation.

"How elfin am I?" I pondered in my youth's naive bliss.
Grasping the sun and stars is within reach—a divine kiss.
Age has brought my youth closer, bridging the gap.
The size of aloneness weighs little—just a faint tap.

In my youth, the moon and tides held sway.
Controlling my every move, guiding the way.
But now that I stand firm on this strand of life,
Roots seek the earth's heart, reaching for rife.

Premium Member Even a Little Thing

Can you have whatever you want?
When what you want is what God wants
then yes
You have to prepare your heart
You have to make sure that is what you want
And that whatever you want is only what God wants
Just like everything else He wouldn't give it to just anybody
Your heart has to be right with God
And that is a sincere desire from you
God judges and knows your heart
So don't think you can put a blinder on Him
You will see once it is what you want
And He gave it to you
Even an ice cream cone - you will find that your foot and your steering wheel 
find a way
I wouldn't tell you something that I haven't known already
You would find that you don't want a lot of things
And before you want it you will find that He says "no"
- so you don't have a chance to want it
It does not come in one day
It is a whole process
But if that is what you want
- press on
I am not speaking to everybody
But only to a selected few
If that is what you want - go for it
There is no point to convince the critics
Because those will not get what they want anyway
Because THAT is what they believe 
But you go on
Good sight and good luck

Gangster

Gangster

Gangster, Gangster, ruthless cold-blooded killer,
Destroyer of life, take no prisoner for bountiful gain.
Business Man, Protector, racketeer of feared innocents,
Taking what you will, secured with violence and pain.

Who are you, what are you, who gives you the right,
Building Empires, from untold misery and blood.
Strong of character, fearing nothing and no one,
Victims revenge is weak and will do them no good.

Persecutor, executioner, henchmen do your bidding,
How can a small, malevolent Man, gain such command?
How many will stand together, to take him down,
None I fear, his domination has infected your land.

Gangster, Mobster, hoodlum or plain villain,
Are you a Capone, Luciano, a Blinder, Mafia or Triad?
Will your name be remembered in glorious infamy?
Or simply a cruel hearted crook gone mad.

Premium Member As We Do Now

Will the children of today, 
when they are old, look back 
and say, as we do now,  that 
times have really changed?
Will they mean it in the same way
that we mean it now? Will they, 
in future, all remark, as we 
do now, how slow the pace of life 
once was and how fast, now, 
it has become? 

Abandoning their games, 
reshaping minds,  will they better 
understand than we have 
understood that not all 
all-too-rapid change is good?
Will they be fairer than we are --
cling to real, not bogus, values --
to their own unadulterated, 
kinder truths. 

Will justice be much fairer, blinder -- 
and, to repeat,  much kinder --
then than now?  Let us 
try to steer the way so that they 
may not, in future, do
as we do now.

Love is blind

I love this one beautiful girl
Who has my heart in a swirl
Her brown eyes shine like golden honey
She laughs at things that aren't even funny
Her heart is three times too big for this world
Her smile shines like a perfect pearl
I love this one beautiful girl

But I can't show my love for her
At least not without causing a stir
You say this love I feel isn’t there 
That these feelings are empty as air
You say that my love is broken and doomed
And that anger and hatred have me consumed 

But I know this love I feel is definitely real
And I’m sorry if my love doesn't fit your appeal
And if I’m truly doomed
Then I’d gladly go down with you
Because this love is realer than your hate
And I know what I am thinking isn't straight
And that is because love is blind
But sadly that isn't in your mind

So I am in love with this girl
Who has my heart caught in a whirl
And no I don’t care that I am a girl too
Because love is blinder than you

Impromptu

an orange is an
orange it says
what it is
but i'm being
led on by
blinder covered
eyes trying to
catch my own 
kind of

orange

i'm not a 
rib cage 
showing future 
smelling
of glue
horse
or
a borage leaf
long earred

mule

nor an donkey
correctly
i am an
ass
but
still only trying
to catch that
which dangles
before

me

though not
knowing if 
i go around
in circles the
same stomping
grounds as a child
but now older but what
if it's that myth the grand
if of all ifs that no longer can

sit

it needs to
be propped
up but can
no longer
prosper
as once

A Turning Point In Life Is Equality
        Writings in a Black Perspective....  	

   The day will come  when all will be the same color
      The mingling with the neighbor
         Just like it was in the  beginning
            No one will have a rainbow blinder

   Harriet Tubman, born a slave 
      Devoted to save
         Those that wanted  freedom
            Not sold or enslave  
 
   Jackie Robinson was given a rough time 
      For being black in all white baseball teams, in his prime
         Couldn’t not sleep or dine  with his teammates
            At  anytime

   Rosa Parks  sat in the front 
      Of the designated black section, indignant
         She refused to give her seat to a white passenger.
            She  was arrested for the incident

   I went through life suffering racial discrimination
      So I harden   my soul   because of rejection
         A turning point in life is equality
            And our salvation

Premium Member Surprise Birthday Trip Destination

Sarah, for your birthday, I do not want to ruin the surprise,
So put on your mask, and here is a blinder to cover your eyes.
I will give you hints as we get on our private fumigated plane.
Of course your mother is waiting, and she will do the same.

We will have a menu that has Belgium chocolates I can't hide.
They will be scrumptiously delicious, and taste juicy inside.
You may order hot chocolate with a shot of caramel and Nutella.
There will be some pretty hot guys, and maybe a particular fella.

Please do not guess yet, watch your feet as I guide you up the steps.
There are protein shakes, brownies, flavored lattes, sprinkled flecks.
An extra shot of expresso? I do not see why not, Sarah Dear.
Yes the destination café might be coming abundantly clear.

Sit beside your mother and do not guess out loud.
She has told me all about you; she is insanely proud.
No doubt there will be scones, muffins, and a sandwich of the day.
Come on pilot, get the engine started. We are ready to play!
