A Romantic Vacation Away

A SCENERY SO BEAUTIFUL
AT THE BEACH
RESTING AND ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT
FEET IN THE SAND
HOLDING HANDS
LAUGHTER BEGAN
A ROMANTIC TIME
WITH ROSES AND A DINNER FOR TWO
JUST RELAXING TOGETHER
OVERFLOWING WITH SMILES
HE BENDS ON HIS KNEES
OVERWHELMED AS SHE CRIED
A HUGE DIAMOND IS PRESENTED
SHE ACCEPTS AS HE PLEADS.

AN EXTRAORDINARY AMAZING ROOM
ALL UPGRADED IN STYLE
CLASSY, A SPA
IT IS WORTHWHILE
LAMB AND CAVIAR, A SALAD
FRENCH BREAD AND MORE
AS THEY ENTER INTO A REVOLVING DOOR
DINNER IS SET OVERLOOKING THE BALCONY
OUTSIDE, A GREAT BEAUTIFUL VIEW
A ROMANTIC EVENING
AS THEY BOTH ARE DRESSED TO THE BEST.

A DAY TO REMEMBER
THE LOVE IS GENUINE
SMILES, HOLDING HANDS
AS THEY RENEW THEIR VOWS.

TWENTY YEARS TOGETHER
THEY ARE THE BEST OF FRIENDS
THE SECRET THEY REPLIED
IS KEEPING IT REAL
LIFE WITHOUT JESUS
CAN BE A MARRIAGE LIKE STEEL.


NOTE,
 PUTTING GOD FIRST IN A MARRIAGE IS THE BEST. A HEALTHY MARRIAGE CAN LAST. THERE ARE STILL SOME GREAT LONG-LASTING MARRIAGES OUT THERE. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

A better gentleman there never was
Kind loving and generous man
Bon vivant and lavish tipper
Articulate, meticulous and dressed to the nines
Phoned his mother every Sunday religiously 
Never a bad thing to say about anyone

It was a Friday after work
Celebrating the end of the week
More exuberant than usual
Spring was in the air
The days were getting longer
And the breeze warmer

He loved life till the very last minute
When it wasn’t baseball
It was Texas Hold’em
Then that fateful Friday afternoon he said
‘Tell my family I love them’
Just like that

We buried him on St.Patrick’s Day
It was a beautiful sunny afternoon
I’ll never forget that one final glance
That one lone sentinel by his grave
Standing guard
Up on that hill against the setting sun
A fitting tribute honouring
A man who had lived and loved
Every blessed day of his life

Premium Member Midnight Romance

We first met at the Obsidian Bar, 
on a night that I will never forget.
She’s dressed to the nines; like a movie star
in charcoal satin and sable georgette.

I catch the scent of ashes of roses,
as wisps of smoke drift from bright crimson lips.
Like a Vogue model, she sits and poses, 
a tall glass of absinthe she gently sips.

With cerulean eyes, which shine so bright, 
ivory skin like a porcelain doll.
She caught my eye; it is love at first sight
her captivating beauty does enthral.

She’s on her own, so I ask her to dance,
New Year bells ring, heralding our romance

LET ME GO

In the midst or whatever 
is binding me in this life 
I know every chain can be broken 
In the presence of my Lord Christ 

let me go
allow my worship to transcend and transform 
let me go
allow my praise to redeem and reform 

I now see it matters not 
my situation nor condition 
God will come in to sift, shift 
and reposition 

let me go 
allow my worship to transcend and transform 
let me go 
allow my praise to redeem and reform

It's not enough to show up in church 
dressed to the nines 
It's my praise and worship that allows God 
to rest in my mind 
for God has the power  
to place me on higher ground 
God has the power to remove 
whatever is holding me down 

let me go
allow my worship to transcend and transform 
let me go 
allow my praise to redeem and reform 

no longer will I allow my situation to rule 
for by Jesus I've been spiritually schooled 

let me go 
allow my worship to transcend and transform 
let me go 
allow my praise to redeem and reform 

no longer will I internalize 
and cry woe is me
for I've been transformed by God's presence 
for all to see 

let me go 
allow my worship to transcendent and transform 
let me go 
allow my praise to redeem and reform 

let me go 
allow my worship to transcend and transform 
let me go 
allow my praise to redeem and reform

Premium Member The Date a Collaboration With Jan Allison

This collaboration is with Jan Allison 



We met at speed dating and you really caught my eye 
I thought I’d hit the jackpot, you were such a handsome guy 
We spent some minutes chatting and you asked me for a date 
Agreed to meet at Gino’s at a quarter after eight 
Dressed to the nines and on the corner of the block 
I saw you brought your mother 'Oh boy' that was a shock! 


We spent the night flirting, like the house was caught on fire
Oh Bob I think you’re so darn hot,  you fill me with desire
I was flattered when you asked me, on a date, that much is true
But I really wish you'd had bid your Mum a fond adieu?
I think we could get serious; I’d love to see you more
I’m pleading with you Bob, just leave your mother at the door!

Oh, she seams so darn aggressive in a way I can't believe
and the things, she said she'd like to do with me, I can't conceive
I hope my Mother doesn't notice all the signs I see
the way this little woman throws herself, all over me
Well, perhaps bringing Mom, was not such a good idea
But how can I take her home, and leave this hottie here

Ok, I called a cab and had my mother taken home
So, me and Jan could have a little time here all alone
It seems we hit it off, but our time was running out
When I heard across the room another man give out a shout
As my heart started sinking, I knew that I'd been had
When the man came up to me, and said, Hello I'm Her Dad

Premium Member Jazz Alive

Spoken Word Poetry: JAZZ ALIVE

Man alive, and this ain’t no jive, I’m diggin’ on jazz to stay alive/
East Coast rhythms from the 50’s and 60’s, in the heart of the city, where the music breaths/
Up all night to dig the modern jazz scene, and out of the cool midnight cookin’ shows at the Blue Note/Located at 131west 3rd St. NYC the place to be/
City lights flashing, hipsters, record buying, dressed to the nines in retro threads at dive bars and clubs where the real jazz magic spreads/
Catch the scene, and  get hip to the latest with the 50s swingin’ jazz machine/
Bill Evans Trio, Modern Jazz Quartet, Miles Davis, Lester Young – Can You Feel the Beat/ It’s Milestones with Miles/At that recording, Davis’s bebop/hardbop music was manifesting into his future modal thing/
Milt Jackson, Chet Baker’s smooth serenade, Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five” in Five Four Time, John Coltrane’s Cascade, Cannonball Adderley, Wynton Kelly’s embrace, Paul Chamers, Jimmy Cobb, all left their trace/
The city never sleeps, no change of pace, play your gig till 2 AM/
Chase the night with grace/catch a cab, hit the jam, Sweet Basil’s swinging where the music never dims/
Women strong and fierce, oh how they loved their jazz men/ 
Financial support flowed like a sweet refrain/
“This Here, “Dat Dare,” and “Moanin’” what sounds, in Bobby Timmons groove/you know what I mean/
The Tenor Conclave, Hank Mobley, Al Cohn, John Coltrane, Zoot Sims/ Hi-Fi jam sessions to no end/
Max Roach on the scene, Deeds Not Words, his LP/
Abby Lincoln, Helen Humes, Sarah Vaughn, Dinah Washington – jazz voices supreme all greats in their prime/
 new record companies popping, day into night: Jazzland, Riverside, Atlantic, Prestige all shining bright/
Philly Joe Jones, Blues for Dracula, man what a scene, what a feeling on Halloween’s Eve, back in the day when Everybody dug jazz, but what happened to the Five Spot Café where the legends would play? /
So dig this, I’m walkin’ to Jazz Alley, Soulmates on my cell I know so well, Ben Webster and Zawinul, their melodies swell/
In this world of music vibes, man, I find my reprieve in modern jazz rhythm and choose to believe in the downbeat of jazz to set me free

Premium Member The Coming of Age

The prom has finished
Last dance done
This Ohio princess
To be his one
 
Hand in hand they leave the hall
Hearts racing as they had a ball
Heading home on a glorious night
Dressed to the nines, a wonderful sight
 
Full moon shining as they cruise home
This graduating pair want to be alone
A wooded clearing they know from their youth
Is to be where their bodies soothe
 
Parked and nervous as they climb in the back
This is no one of night, its more than that
She takes his hand, places on her breast
Her loved eyes full of zest
 
Now semi clothed her breasts bare
His hands walking, where before they would not dare
Trousers down, boxers too
Her hand slides down on Mr you
 
Her lovely gown adorns the floor
Her panties scented perfumed amore
Hard and wanting she guides him home
Their loving to be sealed, as their hands roam
 
They love in tandem as the car sways
Fondling touching in loving ways
Pulling him in as he hardens more
Head throbbing as he loves her core
 
Screams of joy as their love is mixed
They share their moment, eyes fixed
Warmth and desire fills the air
This young couple now a loving pair
 
Passions ease as they hold each other
In this moment they are both in clover
Dressed and dishevelled as they head of home
Thinking of how their bodies roamed
 
He walks her to her door
Where he's picked her up many times before
He holds her close to kiss good night
This loving couple, a lovely sight

Premium Member A Party, Wine and Stranger Things

Party Prelude

bleeding lotion after the knife slipped
haphazardly      called her sister
to help her get dressed   to the doctor
she went   two sisters took over

Scene 1

raiding the fridge, figuring it out
crackers and cheese     finger
sandwiches     setting out plates

Scene 2

the jewelry consultant arrives,
sets up pretty and shiny things

Scene 3

we pull out the wine opener
skewer it in      bottles horizontal
as we         pull and pull
in a sort of suggestive manner

   we laugh uproariously
tears    running down
our cheeks  as we pour and pour
a little for ourselves

Scene 3

our sister’s still at the doctor getting sewn
as her friends form a line at the door
and we explain the host is not home
but c’mon in        we’re filling in

Scene 4

the earrings are not
         the only thing to be looped
two subs are having a merry old time

Scene 5

parties nearly over      as the hostess arrives
           hands rougher and drier
her friends glad to see her     reason
to order                      all is well

Epilogue

sister teased mercilessly
        year after year
pulling out all stops
  and me and my co host
reminisce     about stranger things

Premium Member Portmanteau

He exited the train carrying a luxurious
                               
                      portmanteau

Walking with a BODACIOUS strut
          
          exuding an air

which swept away the SMOG

Just CHILLAXING 'pon the bench

     she watched ___

             He approached the ticket master

letting SNARK sayings flow from his narcissitic persona

A lovely lady dressed to the hilt
        
                 sashayed

Across the cobbled train yard

Displaying an air of refined richness

                      Which adorned her every move

Rich in wordly goods and in social grace

He only had the appearance of riches
     
      Not a cent to his name

Definitely lacking in social graces, arrogance was his game

But could he do magic

       And TOMFOOLERY everyone

Across the cobbled train yard with his eyes on the prize

       He fell ASPRAWLING entangled in a slight crack in the neat cobblestones

Prostrate upon the cobblestone with verbage of a sailor flowing from his lips

The cheap imitation leather ripped from his 
                 
                          portmanteau

Here lies a man humbled by a fall

Finis'

Portmanteau has two meanings and the first is a suitcase..The second 
combinating two words
Tomfoolery--tom/fool--tom a common man and we all know what fool means
Asprawl--a/sprawl...self explanatory
Chillaxing--chill/relaxing
Smog--Smoke/fog
Snark--snide/remark
bodaciouos--bold/audacious..bold/ brazen
sashay not a portmanteau means to glide move..The dictionary said it would 
be unknown to most English speaking people..

Premium Member Fat Bellied Man

Fat bellied man

It seems we have a

Miss

Under

Standing


What you huntin?


Nothin in here for you


The safe is bare


How dare

You

Not

Be aware

 
that


I was inclined


To go out and dine


Dressed to the nines



The corner fish fry was nice

just a bit of advic

I don’t do tartar

Only tar-tare



I thought you understood

The rules of this game


Those steam-sealed pockets

I don’t choose

to purposely inflame


But 

Everything is a process

A test


Now was that really your best


Aside from clutching your leather so tight


If you had looked up from the pennies


You stowed away with that key



You would have recognized my grace



And would have known


There was no need to angst



The night was on me
