Mate,you`ve gone and joined all who`s above
heartbroken are all, of those who you love.
For whatever reasons was on your mind
must have been strong,to make you see blind.
A friend to many,father to a few
your family distraught,in losing you.
We have had nothing,but good times
i felt it appropriate,to spin you a rhymne.
A multitude of feelings,many felt throughout
length and bredth of the country,with no shadow of doubt
your friendliness eluded you,absolutely great
that is why it was a pleasure,to have you as a mate.
R.I.P. RICHY NEIL.. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
There is an aura for the moment looking gloom
Closing in on climatic resolution known as high noon
Weather was dealt the color grey
Heavy clouds outdoor on this day
Blocking the sun from peeking through
Temperatures hot relatively cool
Glaring distractions are wearing nature’s shades
School year ready to hand out final grades
But months earlier an invader came out from the mist
Tying socialization wrists
Being a star taking the stage
Putting the world in a household cage
A viral infection
Criminally contagious facing nation’s united rejection
Traveling the world Covid 19 threatened global protection
Eluded handcuffs reality not having any vaccine injection
When international health did its inspection
A sick situation projected to fizzle
During summer when the north sizzles
A southern pop
Where CDC acts like a cop
Wrote the screenplay strategizing how to make the pandemic stop
Forcing the apocalyptic mission attempt to be a box office flop
Today they will try to collect money
To combat this issue defined ‘not funny’
Four go fore the green
Setting a sporting interacting scene
An opportunity to raise funds
Using an entertaining spectacle when is done
Donors will clap for those that have won
Then as the sunsets
Fast autos will fire off their jets
Under the light signed off by the moon
Creating the thought the holiday is not ruined
Flashy, colorful and cool
Racing at Charlottes’ speedway NASCAR’s crown jewel
Six hundred miles they will speed
Making it southern hospitality roaring like the General Lee
Hopefully, the Sunday message will be comprehended
No need to be defended
When staring at the military graves in rank and file
Knowing yesterday ended with Coca Cola and a smile
Ten Things I Like About Her ...
# 10 - Now number ten is neither here nor there
It can be concluded that number ten, an illusion
Eluded to confusion, a pigeon to decision
A scalpel to precision, separate from any reason
Affected only if to reason
As if so, silent- a wait
So alone in a line
Standing broken in time
Almost a ticking rewind
Like darkness closing in or
Taking apart together
Was only to- get –her
As so the silence of wait
A mere illusion, to only mirror the confusion
Left standing but ones conclusion
Affected by reason- So the sum of it all
Was less all of its sum
A Vision Quest
So twisted these nerves in my spine
But so focused was her in my mind
Left standing - I can’t miss, cuz number ten says –
" I liked the way she KISSED"
Lumping the bad ones, and ouch, some of these are pretty bad.
My Thought on Endicott
My name is Chevy Endicott
I am Chevy, you are not.
Endicott Peabody is my backward brother,
and there is no other.
We make these statements, tongue in cheek,
just because we are unique,
and that's all I have to say
about Endicott today.
Quantum Brain
She suffered depression, postpartum.
Her kids, she didn't even want 'em,
The doc looked into her head,
and cleared things up when he said
her brain was entangled and quantum.
Ovoid, Pedagogic Creature
An ovoid creature, intoned, pedagogic,
a speech which left the students catatonic.
In reasoning that eluded me
he abruptly concluded, "See -
that's logic!"
Coming Out
The Grimms were academic sages,
locking souls in yellowed pages,
till two of them came out
as Wolf to Red would gayly shout,
"I haven't seen you in ages".
Netanyahu
Netanyahu,
I question you
and your use of might,
and I'm not an antisemite.
Grumpy
Grumpy,
he was, and why? Disney's dwarf was stumpy.
At birth, he was dwarfened,
only to be orphaned.
Mammy
Mammy, mammy don't you know me?
No, I don't believe we've met.
Perhaps, there's something you can show me.
to prove you're not all wet.
Could it be that she'd forgot?
Let's listen in, let's hear
the would be mother, the sniveling snot,
to see if he's one she held dear.
Mammy, mammy, I've walked many a mile
just so I could see your smile.
Just keep talkin', talkin's free,
while I place a call to security.
Probability of Blow Up
Mercury that rises
bumps the odds,
and tweaks the ire of the gods,
that I may blow up and dies-es,
but when the weather's cool or fair,
there is no reason to despair.
The probability then decreases,
that I will be in pieces.
A Vegetarian Heard
A vegetarian heard the rant
coming from a plant.
Don't you understand, it is no good,
I wasn't born to be your food.
Kentucky
I know I've got to try
before my soul and spirit fly
to make it to Kentucky before I die
where the music of eternity
is the best and it is free.
Price of Oil
For what ideals shall we strive -
for what must we work and toil?
Is the reason that we shall live
to be the price of oil?
She chased me for a year before
there was any peace between us.
I knew it could happen; knew I was initiating it.
I couldn’t protect myself as a child;
swore that when I grew up; it would never happen again…
she didn’t believe me.
She began as a shadow;
child sized and sporting a good disguise.
It took a while to figure it all out,
still, She kept on chasing, hiding, threatening me.
I’m told that when you do your own therapy;
you must make peace with the child inside, but,
first, you have to learn how to recognize her.
She eluded me, disguised as a boy, then as other children;
even a little pirate wielding a sword at one point;
when I got a bit too close.
She was not about to tell me her secrets;
I had to earn them; like her trust; a year long process.
I couldn’t protect her as a child,
so she felt that I couldn’t as an adult.
A constant menace inside of me;
she led me into dark and empty places.
Alone and frightened;
other shadows taunted and teased me.
I grew so tired of her tests,
but, I knew that if I didn’t keep going;
I’d never win her trust.
In the end, it’s not the dreams that haunt you;
It’s your fears.
In the realm of self-interest, a curious soul,
Could not adhere stamps, sans wit owning a role.
His tongue, like a rover in arid terrain,
Lingered on whimsy, a scoffing refrain.
Precision eluded, in blindfolded dance,
Tongue franking an effort, missing each chance.
The stamp, a library of lore unbespoke,
His tongue still meandered, lost in each stroke.
Like giraffes when they strain ~ reaching treetops,
His sealing endeavor was a clumsy hopscotch.
The stamp lay there mocking, a coaxed witticism,
Tongue still missed the mark, a terrible tourism!
Metaphors clung, but not on the letter,
A longing unfilled, his tongue never got wetter.
The envelope sighed, craved wit's lifting brew,
Yet his tongue frolicked, having wandered no clue.
He licked and he slurped, as though miming delight,
A grand postal crime, a federal plight!
Metaphors piled up, unsent missives distressed,
His sense of himself was a bewildering behest.
In the spirit of levity, a story confided,
A stamp unadhered, a metaphor provided.
When engaging with mail, overcome by caprice of,
Just leave the attempt and go buy self-adhesive.
The war has started
All the halfhearted have departed
You wont be disregarded or outsmarted
When you come full hearted
Refuse to be converted
Even if you feel deserted
With my vision distorted
My thoughts aren't sordid
I will not be thwarted
And no time to be torpid
Through destruction so horrid
My journey still so torrid
Keeping trust in God assures I will always be supported
Then there will be no worry of being excluded
My soul will be heavily guarded
Even when my journey has concluded
Now my vision so lucid
The Lords love will never be disputed
His warm embrace never eluded
With him my spirit unpolluted
4/27/2017
I understood your silence, the weight you carried in your soul like an old and relentless burden,
The battles you fought behind closed doors, like storms raging in the depths,
The nights when sleep eluded you, like a fleeting shadow, and the mornings when you rose again, steadfast,
I knew the trials that left deep scars, the wounds that never healed with time.
I knew the reasons you flinched at love, like a butterfly afraid of a flame too bright,
And if I hadn’t understood all this, I could not have loved you as I did, with all my heart,
Not to fix you, but to hold everything the world continued to break without mercy,
Like a porcelain vase that retains its beauty even when divided into pieces.
I loved you because I saw in you a universe of feelings and dreams, hidden under a veil of silence,
Because I felt the pain in every smile and the light in every tear that fell down your cheek,
I understood that love is not to banish your fears, but to embrace them together, like falling stars,
To find beauty in imperfections and rediscover ourselves in the shards of past days.
And in this uninterrupted flow of thoughts and emotions, I rediscovered the peace of an embrace,
A place where the burdens of the world become lighter, like a lullaby that lulls the night shadows to sleep,
Because our love is not a remedy, but a refuge, a home built from hopes and dreams,
And so, we will walk together through the seasons of life, holding hands like in an eternal promise.
In my life I may as they say
have accomplished a thing or two
but I've not made the mark
I so dearly wished to do
altho' having trod the boards
where mighty giants once stood
the rug was always pulled out
in many a good neighbourhood
never had it made in the shade
fame and fortune eluded me
a one-man band on parade
anonymity included me
sailing off into the sunset
is not quite the right thing to do
nor is going down with the ship
in the yonder wild blue
and yet if my get up and go
has not got up and gone
I'd like once more to bring it on
before fading away into oblivion
Cloaked in black she sat
with covered eyes from a broad rimmed hat.
Encircled in a wispy shade of cerise
that dripped to fade into the fleece.
Lines that linger on the chair
follow her finger like liquid air
as she stencils out the curlicue
depicted with pencils in her view.
Down the wall with a dilatory slither
and intent to enthrall by use of his myrrh
he skillfully eluded his own detection
making her mind his chamber of protection.
His volcanic eyes thrust into her thought
erupting the lust she longfully sought
igniting her vision like a candelabrum
an incision devising her to succumb.
Licking the salt from a lover's lips
speaking the scripts in hum
becoming embossed in indium
and forgetting fault of nothing but tongues.
Silhouetting the cast of questions surpassed
indulging in the treasure of temporary leisure.
Her guard was let down as she started to drown
in the light of the fire and her own desire
Unforeseen antecedently.
A scene drawn out by a welcoming invasion
she remains devout to enamouring persuasion
Still life flickering and unceasing to amaze
Like a liquor releasing inward
The inebriating reward of her very own blaze.
