I never wanted to be the reason why you were torn apart,
It wasn't my choice for him to depart,
Although I take the blame, sweetheart.

In what time allotment, exactly, will it take
For forgetfulness to become a reoccurrence
A blessing for the haunted
Memories that can be bleached off

Premium Member The 12 Things You'D Teach Your Child
With imperfection, introspection 
And a measure of over arching dejection 
Comes insight
So I've noted a truth or two
Do get comfortable and I'll share a few

Say you're dancing, having fun
And some sideline sneerer mocks
Forget them, they...

Vayikra of Moses
It draws me to think about Moses’ humility 
with his experience of the burning bush in Sinai,
like a place of discovery, so extraordinary!
that it’s burning and yet not consuming.

Being a leader to his own people...

Why Worry
Why worry...?

Within the same breath
yukon catastrophize and
make mountain range
out of molehill mental material
impossible to scale
even with best Sherpa as guide.

Take advice from expert
what if...worse case scenario
time and again no fiasco
never makes cerebral showdown

Your Suggestions Aren'T Welcome
This is me.

This is me.
Not caring so much about caring,
but still caring.
Because to be labeled sane you'll have to care.
And still I'm falling short of prerequisites placed upon me by your judgemental faces, my life...

Unbreakable
UNBREAKABLE 

I don’t mean indestructible or incorruptible
Something smashed to bits that CAN be fixed
As in unbreak my heart
It’s a quality absent in my situation

Premium Member Words To Live By
Words walk across the day
Lighting my path and way
Coloring me in hues to convey
The joy my laughter does betray

Words are whispered as I pray
Lifting spirits when they’re gray
Reminding me I’ve been led astray
By the verses...

I got a smart phone
And bought some Smart food
Smart razor, smart comb
Got my wife a smart boob
Whenever it’s squeezed
Coz we’re in the mood

The coffee’s fresh brewed

Plus two smart RVs

Squares lay on the floor from what i call blocks of life,
Cancel guesses put to rest,
Stack your pieces and check them twice.

Like All Art
An artist who does not practice their art,
May have a short shelf life,
Going unnoticed by the many.

So, it is with conversation as an art,
Giving those out of practice a lonely and troubled life,
As they too...

Where Gargoyles Gather
This land is my land
Happy place in this book of sorrows
Where gargoyles gather
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
And never have to prepare faces
To meet the faces they meet
Mostly because as faces go, we have none

Mounted on a grand stage draped in humiliation 
The arena is packed standing room only
Murmurs of insults produce a grievous boom echoes in my head

If Your Soul Could Sing, What Song Would You Hear

Sometimes smoky or just dust
Bluebirds maneuvering through
While Butterflies withdrew

All my past loves float away 
As in vapored clouds today
Becoming concealed by the moon
Only returning in afternoon
