Mystery

There once was a couple who lived a peaceful unit until one day they designed to have a mystery party. Little did they know it will turn out to be the real deal.
 It all started when the guest arrived with bong.. A gunshot they heard. The couple looked at one other and asked "Did you hear that? Did you change the plot." They both said no and went ago with it. Little did they know there was cold blood on the floor. Harsh killing, shooter on the loose and no one knew where he lurked. 

 Could be Wade the butter, could be Billy, the chef that always carries a knife in his suit? Could be Sue the maid, Sugar sunny the exotic dancer, or could be the happy couple? Thunder lurks booming sounds like if its was coming from the inside. The lights turn off and everyone shouts now no knows where they will end up. Feelings of fear and smell of blood in the air the lights turn and the suspects and killer all in the same room. 
 Flames were rising blames flying claims thumping but one one screams. Stop! Stop! Stop! Lets figure out what happened. Clues to the sense she had a gun in her hand was pointing at her but the gunshot was right through the heart. There was no letter to say it was a suicide. Meaning only thing there was murderer on lose but everyone was a suspect at this point. 

 Everyone started asking questions Could be you? Could be me? Who killed Sue the maid?
 Everyone gather together just one person was out the group. He feeling guilty and guilty he was. The lights flickered like if they were winking at the him. Nervous- very very dreadfully nervous had been and is. He breaks down into tears. "Okay, okay!" It was me, said Wade." But she asked me to. She was my life. She was my wife. What could I have done? Sue was diagnosed with lung cancer. She had one day one day to live. She took out a gun. A gun out of her bag. She took it in her hand and she took mine as well. She said goodbye my love and pull trigger I know I didn't pull the she did, But the guilt was growing knowing I saw it all and I didn't call for help knowing she would be suffering through the night. 
 "I am weaken in mind but not by spirit, I hope she forgives me. I am calling the cops I have proof of what I am saying its true. Now its time to let her go. Moral of the story is it wasn't a murder but a mystery in a way a person that knew it was her time to say goodbye.

What Lies Behind You

A boy. Short. He goes to school and cowardly hides behind every corner, scouting out what lurks behind the next turn. Always shoved and disregarded, he seemed to have no friends. He was bullied everyday by this monster. Someone who terrorized him since day one. “Why me?” was his battle cry, just before every black eye.

A boy. Alone. He was adored at school. A big jock. He hated his life, his choices. He picked on this kid, a rather small kid, who was simply pathetic. He would catch glimpses of him, cowering behind corners, and hiding in bathroom stalls. It was this kid that made him popular. He did not hate this him, but simply saw him as an stress reliever. Anger reliever. He was praised at school, abused at home. School was his safe haven; his home away form home, but no one knew what truly went on behind that strong, muscular smile. Divorce. Abuse. Shame. His mother was a prostitute, sold every part of her just to manage to keep him alive. His father was a drunk. Abused every inch of him to relieve him of his intoxicated wounds.

A mom. A prostitute. As a little girl she was very bright. Did well in school, and even managed to get into a good college. It wasn’t until that one night she mad a stupid mistake. It was one of those fraternity parties. “All the cool kids went, right?” She would tell her self. That’s all it took. One kid. One rufie. One sip. Next thing she knew she was pregnant. She dropped out of college. Told her boyfriend it was his kid. Got married. And had a beautiful baby boy. It took five years until she told her husband the truth. The truth about the conception. He left. She was alone, receiving no support. No money. It took her one month until she found herself in the back of a strangers car in an alley way for $200.

A frat boy. A stupid hazing ritual. “Host a party. Drug a girl. Have sex.” Only he made a mistake. He got drunk. Too drunk. He had no control over his actions. The demon residing within him took over, raped a girl, and impregnated her with what ruined her dreams, his dreams. In frustration he went to get fresh air.  And made one more stupid mistake. He was conscious of what he did, and knew he could not live with his mistake. Police found him hung from the fraternity balcony the next morning. 

This is in dedication to all those who suffered from something that was no in there control.

If I Lied

Momma 
She doesn’t want to hear from me no more 
I'm tired, she cried 
Pointed me in a direction 
But I see that door
Would it be selfish on my part 
To grip her palms and ask for more? 
Though it's not on her chest 
She simply hopes that her customers tip the best 
If I said she hated me 
I wonder would she put these lips to rest 
In this post digital life 
I got an email from a past friend 
Point the icon to reply 
Started to type but I had no words to send 
Like a small whisper it said love won't last 
As if to hold my head I didn't bother to ask 
Rub the hurt 
To keep her above the dirt 

She tried 
She held on with what she could 
Until she died 
I said I'd never shed a tear 
But I lied 
I took her hand and cried 

Before you leave this story alone 
Maybe there's something you could do 
To piece together the worry at home 
In moments that it really counted
I guess I just would not listen 
At times when I should have softened
My heart did nothing but stiffen 
I guess that's just the way life is 
Think about what you love and lost
What was once yours was always his 
I never saw her but once 
But she never forgot 
To send me peace on my birthday 
Sometimes I wonder 
Did she lose me in her worst ways 
Then again 
There isn’t much I can say 

She tried 
She held on the best she could 
Until she died 
I said I'd never shed a tear
But I lied 
I took her hand and cried
 
With a little help from you 
We put together withered ends of a string 
In better hope that one day, one of us 
Would suffer once more to hear the other sing 
Sometimes fantasies are life 
But most of the time 
You just want to find intimacy with your wife 
I'm not trying to make amends 
But it's all over when it ends 
So love your child
Make your everyday float above his smiles 
I couldn't sympathize for your illness 
For every person maintains their own struggle 
So wipe away your tears 
Let us not become absorbed by the puddle
Keep doing what you do 
no one can stop you from pursuing it but you 
The consequences, the awards 
I'll happily push my cart 
Further down the morgue 
So close your eyes 
If I were to take my last breath 
I'd still wish you the best 

She tried 
She held on with what she could 
Until she died 
I said I'd never shed a tear 
But I lied 
I took her hand and cried

Not My Choice Pt 1

First times 
are meant 
To be special 
Or so I wish.

With a lack 
Of experience
And a timid 
Demeanor,

I never learned
How to say no
To a person
That I liked.

When I look
Back on it now,
I think to myself,
How stupid could I be.

Our very first date,
In an empty cinema.
I heard the clink 
Of his belt buckle undone.

Tension held on
As he took my hand
And guided it
To what he pulled out.

His breathing grew heavy,
And I sat stiff
As he moved my hand
Against his.

I should have said no,
But I wasn’t taught how.
Uncomfortable
As he asked 
If I’d put my mouth around.

I shook my head,
Shaky 
And nauseas with fear
As I pulled my hand back.

He claimed ‘blue balls’
And asked if I knew
What that was.
I didn’t.

Every time he touched me
Or the very least tried,
I’d grow sick
And he, upset.

He yelled at me once,
For getting sick to my stomach.
I didn’t know he’d yelled
Until someone told him off.

He’d apologize,
But only half hearted.
It was clear from day one,
What his intentions were.

‘I need to get laid’
He’d tell me on repeat.
Guilt sucked me dry,
But that was what he wanted. 

First times
Are meant to be special
Or at the very least,
Consensual.

After the first,
I was glad
Nothing more happened,
Or I’d regret. 

But in the second half,
I grew comfortable.
Believed he was 
A changed man.

How silly of a thought,
For someone like me,
To be so naive,
I’d given in.

First times should be special. 
That’s how I wanted mine.
Instead, what I got
Was not even a choice.

In the secret of the bed,
Doing nothing more than touching,
He guided his
And my head tilted back.

When he told me
‘It’s in’,
I almost felt sick.
Why hadn’t he asked?
Where was my consent?

My thoughts became muddled,
Filled with disbelief.
It couldn’t be, could it?
But he confirms it the next day.

I sit on the thought
That my first time 
Was taken from me
Without question.

But if I were to tell someone,
They wouldn’t care.
It could count as rape,
If it never happened again.

It happened more times 
Than I can count
(that’s a lie, I could),
With my consent
This time.

If I had it my way,
I’d go back
And do it over again.

I wouldn’t let him touch me,
Because my body rejected.
I should have listened then
Instead of crying and begging.

Winter On the Miles River

There was something spectacular
about a winter, long and hard,
on the Miles River.
Some days will never be the same.

Greying skies, heavy hung
with crystal burdens
of the wind, and air. Twenty above,
after sunset, zero.

And the snow was the problem
of every man of driving age
with responsibility. His children 
were busy getting ready.

And getting ready! The flurry 
of wool, and the long john-ed cotton.
A long and hearty walk ahead, river bound,
passing ponds along the way...

A pair of skates, tied together, 
a knitted cap and a smile
crossed the frosted fields, the puddled
slush and slurry, hurried

to gather like the feathered geese
who gathered 
on the ice inside a frozen cove,
a forgotten day one January.

And the town of Saint Michaels:
a sidewalk of salt and shovels
digging out the shops...
the smell of warmth, of oak,

drifting thick from brick and mortar,
soups and running noses tucked away
inside the bars and churches,
snowfall on stones in cemeteries

of the Methodist, St. Luke's,
and of the Catholic.
There's birds at the feeder
of a residential tucked nearby.

A sigh, a whisper of air
between the shops
from the docks, chilly regards
from river and bay.

And a waterman, on his way
to the mouth: leather skin, covered
and coated in khaki and denim,
with permanent painted on flannel.

The oysters busheled up are icing over
in a harbor of seafood trucks
and white liars, old men who carry business
no longer, young boys with no blood to offer.

Forsaken a tradition, over a dollar.
And so the middle aged...age. With bad knees,
busted knuckles, and a thermos of lukewarm
coffee, black and heavy.

Cigarette smoke and rubber boots,
bibs and denim jeans drying inside
beside a stove of wood, the cord
stacked long outside.

And babies buried deep in coats
and blankets, mothers careful
in the parking lots of
Grauls and Acme. 

Stews for dinner, Oyster based
and beef, warm tomato 
with Saltines for crumbling
and butter for spreading.

Just the way of things.

On Spencer Creek, someone took down
a Christmas tree: a tomato cage 
on a dock. Distant echoes of a motor
lapped the shoreline.

Some men dreamed of spring time,
when the cold would stop biting
and the creeks would clear
away the winter with the rain.

Some days will never be the same.


Thing Called Love, I Can'T Speak

Writing Yet Again, grab my 
pad, I grab my pen, in deep 
thought I begin to write my 
feelings I hide within.
Within the deepest part of my 
soul, 
These emotions I can't control, 
and yet my heart won't let you 
go, can't walk away and this 
you know.
Deep inside my heart just 
bleeds, and now I'm always 
feeling weak, u ask me 
questions I can't speak, look 
you've done,  done to me.
It seems I'm always gettin 
jelous but baby boy I just can't 
help it, it's that thing called 
love, I thought u felt it.
Everytime I hear a text I think 
it's her textin you that, and 
then you always turn ya back 
Juss to respond now what is 
that?
You told me that u loved me 
now your walkin away from me, 
got me feeling like the dummy, 
and it hurts to know you'd 
leave me lonely.
Yet and still I can't speak.....
There's a lot of things I see, 
and I pretend that I don't peep, 
and u always lie to me, I guess 
I'm blinded by this love.
This silly thing that we call love, 
no one said it'll hurt this much, 
knocks you down, don't help 
you up.
That's the reason I can't 
speak...
I'm always yearning for ya kiss, 
always dying for ya touch, 
always needed you to hold 
me,prolly cause I love you so 
damn much, and it Juss hurts 
cause you don't see.
I always thought that you were 
perfect,  thought that maybe 
you were worth it, and us two 
together was for a purpose, 
was this a BIG,BIG MISTAKE?
Gave you my heart, you balled 
it up, 
And some how I still can't get 
enough,
Have I really gotten weak?
I've always had ya back since 
day one and that's a fact, now 
it's ya turn, and I get ya ass.... 
To kiss.
I truly do believe a good girl 
you had indeed, somehow 
someway u dont need me, I 
was too blinded by your love.
People always tried to tell me, 
let it go cause he's not worthy, 
worthy of ya love. 
And I'd Just sit and cry,  I'd try 
and try to deny it, hoping you'd 
Just change, but I see that they 
were right.
I stand putting up this fight, 
and I know you no longer 
like.... Me or even care.
So now I'll let you walk away, 
still you'd be thought of 
everyday, I know I'll miss you 
Sooo damn much.
But you were Just keepin me 
stressed always worried bout 
the rest, instead of being here 
and loving me.
But this is what I once called 
love and swore I couldn't get 
enough,
But here's from me to you, 
cause I can't speak.....

~~~~~~~~

The sick elephant, perished at sunset!
Headline news, tears, anger, outrage and scorn.
A worldwide sadness, her baby just born!
Monies were collected, protests in the streets.
Medallions with her picture worn,ah, hearts so torn!
                       ~~
A kitten walks the street alone, we save her!
We scream, "Where is humanity's soft heart?"
Organizations formed then, for feral cats.
We pour huge funds into shelters at once.

But whay of the unborn human, about to be
killed?
Sleeping, softly in their mother's warm womb?
Little fingers, sweet little toes, about to die?
Our hearts, souls, eyes, do we in denial close.

Millions upon millions, will indeed today, die.
Never to see sun, moon, stars or bluest sky.
Taken by methods too cruel to speak.
Angel babies killed in abortion mills.
The world weeps not a tear for human loss, still!

For the unborn, all, yes  I will take a stand.
In a world that adores trees more than the
family of man.
A ghoulish thought, human life surrendered.
A baby is not a bad tooth to remove by any
Governments monies, freely tendered.

Sing not to me, that you love humanity!
Nor of world peace, when our own kind we kill.
Yes, aware man wants to this world control.
This world is not yours, it belongs to God.

What good, this verse, in a so very cold world?
Why! So you dare use fetal cells,I ask why?
To use them in a vaccine, you drool for?
Their cells floating in your selfish bloodstream?

We pen about the evils of truly great men?
We hum and talk to Muses, how very!!
We buried God, we loathe free nations.
Globalism only, downing, all the rest.
Then wonder, why all the worldly unrest?

Laughing our lives away, a great escape?
Reality, no, never on our plates!
Good, unborn people destroyed,oh how we do cheer.
Unethical, political thieves and snakes we adore.
As we quill, on God's  sunny shores.

Distorted

Distorted

My face is distorted
Is my real face even showing?
I don't know if I'm experiencing my true feelings
My love is true is yours?
I demand you and you shut the door in my face repeatedly 
We have many years together and yet we have nothing

Our children see the real you 
The real person I  have seen since day one
I can't believe you let your love for society get in the way of my innocents
How dare you? 
I have to be everything to them and it's not fair to them 
They will grow up knowing I was the only consistency in their wee lives

Where is the outline for me?
Do you hear my screams? What about the silent ones?
I go without so much because my wee little ones need more than I 
What do you go without?

I look in the mirror at myself
Who is looking back at me?
Is this really me? Is this really my life? 

I stood by you through so much
The things you did the things you said to me
You have hurt me like no other has and yet I'm still here are you?
Emotionally I'm not here, My heart stays here, But I can't figure out where my mind is
Or where it all belongs? 
I'm so torn, so broken, so numb 
I guess I'm just going to be distorted for the rest of my time with you
I promised I would love you through everything and I have but where is the outline?

I don't see the real me and haven't in a long time thanks to you
I don't even do my hobbies anymore I just sit and watch the world as I call life pass by
Why do you want our wee little innocents to see this? what would posses you to?
If I broke my promise would I be submitted to the pits for enternity? 
I gained so much and yet I lost more much 
You hurt me with life itself and nothing but fear 
Can you honestly tell me what have you lost you entire life?

It feels like a band-aid  that I just can't take off no matter how I rip it off
Do I wear a mask over me? Does anyone see the real me anymore?
I hurt so much with you but yet I loved you for so long 
I can't accept your I'm sorry pity excuses anymore 
Is my face nothing to you? Does it mean nothing to you?

My heart feels so much anger, depression, emotions of not being wanted
Do you or have you ever felt this way?
I don't know what to believe in anymore
I feel like paper and I'm being torn into a million pieces 
Or what if you are putting me through a paper shredder?
Is the real me even showing?
I'm distorted

Caught Catching Steelheads - Part 1 of 2

We spent Christmas in Camas, Washington
With Aunt Lil and Uncle Carl on this run
Carl owned the town’s only sporting goods store 
He knew local fishing; where to catch more 

Carl said, “Steelhead fishing is very hot”
“I can rig you up; you might catch a lot”
A Steelhead punch card cost so much to buy
I said to Carl, “I think I’ll pass it by”

Carl said, Steelhead are ocean going trout
It’s Rainbow specie with lots of clout
They’re born in the river; then go to sea
Return back home grown; they spawn and then flee

A long island lies in the Washougal 
Using a life raft to get there was frugal
Its eighty rods before the rivers meet
Paddling a boat there was no small feat

With boat secure, Carl and son went fishing
I only watched, from where I was sitting
Saw action on shore; a guy had one on
Which he played for a while, then it was gone

I saw Carl when he hook one of good size
The way he played the fish, was quite wise
I felt the old fish bumps starting to rise
When the fish broke water, I was surprised

Those fish are big and their fight would be fun 
I knew right away, I’d have to catch one
Carl landed his fish, it weighed seven pounds
Got out his punch card and punched out one round

I said, “I’ll fish if your offer’s still good”
“We can rig you up; I knew that you would”
“But you need a license before you fish”
“I’ll open the store, if that’s what you wish”

“Nope, I think I’ll just fish without any”
Carl said, “Not wise, that could cost you plenty”
“Carl, it expires by the end of the week”
“Get a four day one; that works for you neat”

Next day I was on the island early 
Fishing hard but my bait acted squirrelly
Had to add some weight, so it would hit ground
Then threw it up stream and let it drift down

“Oh My Gosh!, I’m snagged!” I said with a frown
I bet I hooked to a log on the ground
I was wrong cause that log started moving
Yelled, “Fish on!,” my attitude improving

That fish was stripping the line from my reel
He could turn sideways and rest standing still 
He used the current to his advantage
When he made a run, I couldn’t manage 

Carl walked over to check on the action
“Carl, he’s too big to get any traction”
“And there isn’t much line left on the reel”
“If he was up current it'd be ideal”

(Part 1 of 2)

Today we celebrate Noah Webster and his creation…the dictionary…without them you might say we’d be speechless…we’d have no vocabulary.

For how important are words once they form within our heads…with their ability to evoke emotions the moment they are said.

A word, itself, is not beautiful or ugly…complimentary or demeaning…it’s only in the context and the way we say it that gives a word it’s meaning.

Words when spoken from a place of love have a musical refrain…words when spoken from a place of hate are meant to damage and cause pain.

Some words make us feel good and bring with them happiness…let me name a few…there’s freedom, laughter, joy, peace, love, compassion and family too.

Some words when uttered leave fear and sorrow in their wake…like Alzheimer’s, Aids, war, death…tornado and earthquake.

I remember when a friend informed us her doctor wanted to see…if cancer was growing inside her…so she ordered a biopsy.

Biopsy…now there’s a word with the ability to fill ones heart with fear…as you anxiously and hopefully wait for the doctor to say the words you want to hear.

It’s interesting that as word spread of her biopsy that was planned….words of encouragement came rushing to her from all across the land.

Words of love…of compassion and support…words easy to comprehend…drifted softly…blended together and landed on our friend.

Our words were one way of showing her we were thinking of her…that we cared…one way to let her know her fear and apprehension was something we all shared.

And as we all awaited the results…hoping our world might realign…our apprehension turned to exhilaration when we heard the word…benign.

It is amazing how one day one word can cause so much woe..so much anguish and concern…and the next day another word replaces it allowing joy and happiness to return.

And so I wonder if Mr. Webster, the lexicographer, would agree…if we only used kind word from his dictionary…how happy we’d all be.

How words of kindness and love are an investment used to gather friends…and one day, when we need it…those words pay dividends.

For when I think of our friend’s frightening experience…it is the words of her friends I recall….leaving me to wonder if words of love…of support…of kindness…of compassion and of friendship…aren’t the most beautiful words of all.
