Sometimes I feel

like telling you

go on

just do it

get on with it

get it over with

if you want to finish your life

I don't give a ....

other times

I want to solve it for you

fix whatever is wrong

make you happy

lead you to Jesus

let you find salvation

but you may never find

happiness because

you love misery 

boredom and

feeling sick

it makes you happy

in your miserable kind of way

I'm not sure where this is going

but it will

come to me

God will tell me

one day

I

just need

patience 

 

Or

 

Am I even right

in trying to help

or ignore you

who am I to

force my thoughts

upon you

or to wash you

down the drain

and forsake you 

 

If

 

I try to force

my belief upon you

isn't that just selfish

on my part and

nothing new

what should I do

other than encourage you

empathize  and listen

for if you talk it through

after awhile

your teeth might glisten

 

Gee

 

that was a cheesy line 

in a heavy subject matter

and I can't pretend to think

even for a moment 

that I know better

Premium Member Political Supposition

Political Supposition
By Franklin Price
1/10/2015

Suppose that a billionaire rich guy
Worth maybe a billion or six
With an ego as big as this country
Saw it was broken and needed a fix

Was willing to use his own fortune
To go where he thought it should be
To have a say in how it should get there
To fund his own presidency

Also suppose that this rich guy
Was already a celebrity man 
With a need to control all around him
Aspirations that could make you a fan

Not afraid to voice his opinions
Say outrageous things right to your face
Do you think such a man could move mountains
To help the U.S. again find it's place?

Would such a man if he made it
Be unable to control or refrain
 To listen because of his ego 
Do stupid things to send us on down the drain?

Do you like where we are at this moment?
Do you think we are where we should be?
The establishment now in the capitol
Have done nothing at all I can see

This rich man for sure is not like them
Is a force that could change everything
They're afraid of this man with the money
Who as an outsider could be the king.

Songcatcher In the Street

songcatcher in the street and i see you walking by
(oh how i wish that i could talk to you)
i suddenly have a taste for a fresh bagel and hot cocoa
(oh how i wish i could walk with you)
you have a way about yourself that quietly commands and demands respect
(i wanna buy you an ice cream cone)
you have a way about yourself that just clean stops a room
(i really would like to walk you home)

songcatcher in the street and i watch your side hips switch
(i wonder what type of dances you can do)
i have these fantasies of certain places where you can slowly shake your tush
(i wonder what true blue romance will do to you)
you have a style about yourself that captivates captivation
(i wanna buy you an oreo shake)
you have a style about yourself that inspires happy elation
(i wanna ask you out on a date)

songcatcher in the street and i see him kissing you
(i think i wanna puke)
all my hopes go down the drain and i am strangely missing you
(i wish it was a fluke)
oh, the way you bless his love makes all flowers bloom
(i guess he feels like the man)
i just silently pass by and just him a different tune
(i have imagined all i can)

songcatcher in the street i dream about you
(i wanna be your king)
what i would give just to express just one hint of a clue
(with you i wanna do my thing)
however in reality he beat me to the punch
(left uppercut and all)
wow, how i would react if i had the floor to chance my hunch
(in love with you i would fall)

songcatcher in the street and i watch you pass by
(i just repeat each step)
i wish that i could let you know that you are my greatest high
(you would upgrade my rep)
the reality is you will never know me
(that is the saddest truth)
to get even a hint of your attention...oh God just show me
(she would invigorate my youth)

Premium Member In the Moment

In this moment, writing despite a headache, stuffed nose, blurred vision

Dry throat, exhaustion

Heart beats pounding, over exerted

                As it fights the virus/infection attacking
                                          
                                         A very weak body

As the moments fly, erratic thoughts swirl
      
              In a moment then disappear

Then a new thought emerges from the thick mucus

                                      Sticking, it tries to pull forth into motivation

Sucked down into a swirling fatigue

In this moment, the remnants of a cold????
 
Sinusitis maybe sucks the joy down the drain

Higher Ground

Have you ever had a day, you wished you were dead,
what makes these thoughts pop up in our head.
 It has been a while since it came to me,
but I was already dead, I just couldn’t see.
 My whole life washed down the drain,
but to then, be cleansed of its reign.
 How this life can change in a second you see,
 and those things we lose, sometimes sets us free.
 If you keep those feelings, in your heart,
in life, it will be hard to find your part.
 Sometimes, the people places, and things,
have their very own, deadly stings.
 I no longer wish these thoughts, you see,
my heart belongs to God, the way it should be.
 All kinds of these thoughts, that comes to mind,
trust in Jesus, and you will find.
 A life that is worth the living, you see,
that’s why, He died for you and me.
 To take these thoughts, and turn them around,
they will set you upon, higher ground!

Premium Member Testament

When eternity’s tolling its summons
And my spirit must answer the bell,
Verify my reply to the devil,
Document my descent into hell.

Draft a suitably cynical scripture
As a testament tailored to fit
My eccentric delinquent demeanor
With sardonic, yet eloquent wit.

Diagnose the malignant psychosis
I embraced as I raced to my fate,
And deliver a sordid prognosis.
Pass a verdict that ends all debate.

Let my legacy fade with the sunset.
Let my memory pass down the drain
As my shadow blends in with the darkness
And my footprints dissolve in the rain.

Bid farewell to the women I’ve cherished.
Beg forgiveness of those whom I’ve hurt.
Save a locket of hair for my children,
And then scatter my ash in the dirt.

Raise your glasses with festive abandon,
Let the truth of the irony shine.
Use profanity’s edgiest gesture,
Toast my passing with laughter and wine.

         F-R-A-U-D



Seventy-four million Americans had their votes cancelled, 
Tis far more than mere shame.

Honest, hard working, some retired, 'twas no accident...
Thefe is fraud and vile, valid blame!

They stood in line in winter for hours and then,
Dominion flushed them, as turds, down the drain.

Run over by a technology train with neither heart 
Nor a human brains.

The judges, so awesome in black gowns, let
America go down a filthy computerized toilet.

Only crime, looting, burning cities no police, 
they seem OK?
Crime, OK at their politically appointed feet.

If vote fraud goes on, the country disappears.
Run by madcap anarchists who will murder, 
ruin cities....... and cheer.

REFLECTION ON A REFLECTION

In the mirror - standing before me
Is everything that I need to be...
An image of human certainty.
Certainly - upon my inspection...
Far away, I am from perfection
Which is portrayed in my reflection.
This, many times before I have seen
Whether or not the mirror is clean...
But I am sure you know what I mean.

I take onboard these thoughts of token...
Mirror image is not outspoken
Quite as much if its face is broken.
Awoken - the position of smear
Can change an entire atmosphere
And make a perception disappear.
Reception is null inside stained glass.
The other side of much greener grass
When a clear reflection comes to pass.

Observance has taken centre stage
As I grow older - become of age...
Self-preservation which I engage.
Wage - I must of my image, maintain...
For I cannot acquire or gain
Any more time going down the drain.
Results of scars - the marks that were made.
Now on my person, they are displayed...
Physical prices which I have paid.

Aside from the mirror, these I try...
Looking into both a diamond's eye
And my cast on water flowing by.
Why - should I worry or show concern?
I cannot heal, remove or unlearn
Any real or proverbial burn...
Which brings me back to where I began.
The mirror says to me - yes, you can.
Fairest of all, I am not less than.

Au Bade To Monogamy

Slipping from the sheets,
her feet touch the carpet with regret.
She tips to the shower.
In, then out.  Leaving last night’s sins
spiraling down the drain.

Dressing quietly and quickly,
she applies her red lipstick.
First, heavy.
Then tissuing off some so
it doesn’t look too fresh.

Her keys are where she left them.
She sweeps them up as she throws
her purse across her shoulder.
Without looking back
she leaves.

Checking herself in the rear-view mirror,
she touches up her hair.
As she pulls away, she catches a glance of
the hotel room door.
210.
And she knows that every number before that
no longer matters.

Premium Member -Vavoom

Have you ever lost your VaVoom
Had no idea where it actually went
Maybe it fell out of your pocket
At last nights entertainment event

Or did  your VaVoom drop to the shower floor
Unnoticed as you merrily sang a tune
Did it gurgle and swirl down the drain hole
Vanished and not to return anytime soon

Perhaps your Vavoom jumped out of your bag
While you shopped at the  supermarket store
Then unknowingly was kicked from aisle to aisle
Eventually kicked straight out the shop door

Or did your Vavoom disappear deliberately 
Feeling the need to venture and explore
To find a better more fulfilled  life
Never to be your VaVoom anymore

VaVooms are known to have minds of their own
They don’t like rules and are quite cheeky
One must be mindful of their VaVoom at all times
As they are determined and downright sneaky!
