In the heat of a passionate encounter
Do you ever stop and think
“Wonder what's for din-din?”
Seems all our thoughts and energy
Are devoted to the task at hand, so to speak
So much so that it feels like our head will explode
Then that indescribable moment
When the trumpets blow
And a band of angels start singing, “Hallelujah!”
Are we interested in who won the big game last night
Or the political situation in Kazakhstan
Well I can surely tell you here and now
Because at that indescribably moment of joy
I REALLY don't give a poop!
The building could come collapsing down around me
I'm intent on finishing what I started
Come hell or high water
Did you ever stop and wonder
What's for din-din tonight?

I was so happy just to be your friend and be there whenever you needed me
That wasn’t what you had in mind and your selfish intent was something I couldn’t see
You made it a point to show me a different side of you this time around
You played your role so perfectly making sure to create a love in me that was truly profound
I knew all of your secrets and bad habits but that didn’t push me away
I told you I’d be there for you and by your side is where I intended to stay
You would tell me that we were meant for each other and the others were just for fun
I wasn’t ready to commit anyways so I stuck around when in reality I should have run
I remember when we were finally intimate and how nervous I was as if it was my first time
I was so in love and expected more but the encounter left me feeling used and covered in grime
I still stuck around because I had promised I wouldn’t leave and truthfully, I knew you would always own my heart
These feelings would stay engraved in me whether we were together or apart
Everything was going so well and you hinted at us finally being together like we always should have been
I was more than happy to accept you as you were and let the rest of our lives begin
Of course, you did what you always have and completely flipped the script
Suddenly you had someone and my heart was left exposed, broken and, ripped
Once again, I chose to stay because regardless of our relationship status, I still immensely cared for you
I vowed to be your best friend and find a new love but that made you mad because you just wanted to subdue
This mind game went on for a while and I continued to endure the torture until you eventually just disappeared
You had promised that you would always stick around but you threw me away and enacted what I had always feared
You still pop in from time to time just to make sure I don’t have a chance to forget
But I’m glad to say that you no longer have the same effect on me, nor do I feel any regret
You were toxic and only cared about making yourself feel better, no matter what the cost
I promise you that you destroyed every ounce of care I ever had and this tumultuous relationship will not be defined as a love lost
I wrote this on a bus ride through the city
An early morning excursion with no sleep
A chance encounter flooded by unknown
Original reference AM/PM 26 years ago
The gritty rhyme blindly spoke for itself
Like the back of a smoke-filled jazz club
Notes transporting me to another place
Destination decided with no destiny
For certain this was uncharted waters
A whispered verse beneath streetlights
Each syllable swaying with the potholes
Did I write this or did the city pen it?
Its pulse echoing in the hollow of my ribs
Doors hiss open stepping off into fog
A silhouette waiting for me at the curb
Eyes I’ve never met but already know
Together we disappeared into the abyss
Leanna Wee, a jammy fey headed toward Doolin on Sunday
An assignment from the leprechaun wild, the old one, gray
without faffin around, she went right for the pub to find
a young artist named Collin, who was clever and kind
He had a draiocht way about him, this Irish lad of Doolin
Leanna was ready to woo him, and was in no wee way fool’n
By the time she had woven her magic, he was under her spell
she could have led him to go for a poke or down the dell
By the time Leanna Wee was finished courting this young guy
He was a blithering blathering gobe, but still remained shy
She took all of his energy, and got younger as her skin got pretty
a craic personality, she now seemed unbelievably witty
the young guy was never the same after this encounter by chance
he barely had the energy to hold hands, sashay or dance
But Leanna Wee was excited, being a Leanhaun Shee
To steal an artist’s energy was her reason to be.
AUTUMN UNTOLD STORY
Sense the tiny bite of crispness in the air
September ends and school again begins
Crows on the telegraph lines just stare
The old guy at the corner leans and grins
September ends and school again begins
The parents’ Volvos wait to drop and go
The old guy at the corner leans and grins
For a reason that most will never know
The parents’ Volvos wait to drop and go
Kids with an emotional burden to carry
For a reason that most may never know
Walking past the man and never tarry
Kids with an emotional burden to carry
Not yet acute enough to raise concerns
Walking past the man and never tarry
The memory of that encounter burns
Where Do You Go
Where do you go when love leaves you?
Where do you go to grieve?
Where do you bury the shattered heart
And hide all the wounds , tell me please?
When does the Sun start shining
After a romantic encounter ends?
When can you pick up the pieces
And can you start over again?
How does a life flourish
When dumped on with such cruelty
How can the true heart live alone now
When promised sincere loyalty ?
No more candles and wine nor shared bathes
No more romantic music nor perfumed whispers in my ear
No more laughing in the pouring rain
No more seeing you again
No more Honey , Sweetheart , and Dear
Why do the stars shine in Heaven
But no longer reflect in your eyes?
Why did you ever call her Honey when you knew
The rendezvous would never be permanently realised?

Cosmic Embrace
As we ventured far beyond the reaches of Earth, we found ourselves immersed in a realm of galaxies and nebulas, breathtaking celestial bodies that would astound even the most jaded traveler. We traversed the dark vacuum of space, guided by twinkling constellations whose light traveled millions of years to reach our eager eyes. Each star held untold mysteries within its fiery core, secrets waiting to be unraveled by curious minds like ours. Our cosmic voyage continued as we approached the edge of a swirling galaxy, it's vibrant hues paintings unforgettable picture against the endless black canvas of the universe. Then suddenly, everything changed- we were wrapped in the warm embrace of a cosmic cloud, basking in ethereal rays of pure energy that seemed to pour directly from the heavens themselves. It was as if we had entered a new dimension entirely, where time itself seemed to stand still. Feeling invigorated and humbled by this extraordinary encounter, we continued our exploration deeper into the unknown territories of the universe struck awe into our hearts, reminding us just how small we really are compared to these majestic celestial entities. As we ventured far beyond the reaches of Earth, we found ourselves immersed in a realm of galaxies and nebulas, breathtaking celestial bodies that would astound even the most jaded travelers. In this infinite dance between stars and fate, we've touched upon eternity in this grand play.
Who knows what lurks around the corner
What twists and turns await
The one thing of which we can be certain
Is our very uncertain fate
Don’t be complacent
And expect the inclement
You will be blown off course
You will be tempted astray
You will encounter hurdles
Inevitable along the way
The measure of a man
Or indeed a woman
Not achievement per se
But resilience demonstrated
And ability to adapt
To overcome and thrive
Rather than being frustrated
Grasping the nettle
Keep persisting
Ignoring obstacles
Evolving and adapting
Striving and conquering
Riding the waves
Not succumbing
Mastery of the future
Favours the brave
Beside another, recent lain
Dug before the morning rain
Laid in rows midst flowers and grass
Where hand-carved marble speaks of past
Blackbird seeking worm or grain
Eyes the earthen mound again
Whence abundant morsal found
In spoil fresh dug from sacred ground
Brief cessation of the showers
Sunshine gifts it's warming powers
Somber, dressed in wispy shroud
Whispered calls to every cloud
Dampened grass wears tinsel glister
For mother, father, brother, sister
Whose Mourners silent walk the drive
Parting as the cars arrive
Handshakes, kisses, reminisces
Comfort sons and little misses
Gather, solumn ’side the grave
Adults tearful, children brave
Casket edging from its hearse
Nature opts to show its worst
Heavens open, pours torrential
Mourners stoic, reverential
For Gran and Gramps met in the war
Chance encounter Indian shore
Oft to tell despite the warm
Danced till night beneath a storm
Then beneath a leaning palm
Neither heeding risk of harm
She succumbed to young man's wishes
Shared the first of many kisses
Lowered now to Grandpa's side
Grief outshone by family pride
As Grandma grasps the binding tie
Of he in whom she feared no lie
One love, his wife, his children's mother
Never danced with any other
Ever gallant went before
To guide her hand to heaven's door
And like that storm of Asia past
Sun tames cloudburst near as fast
Wispy mists of dampness warmed
Dance ethereal, barely formed
Vapours of the afterlife
Moonlit glimpses, man and wife
Romance colours all our thoughts
Of Gran and Gramp's eternal waltz
Challenger A and Enemy B
The search
The Focus
The game
Strategy of both
Encounter
Ammunition ready
Enemy in sight
Preparing attack
Torpedo sent from Challenger A
Hits target being the enemy B
Enemy B tries to counter attack
But misses Challenger A
Enemy B must submerge because of damage
Challenger A has Enemy B on close radar
Because of Enemy B structural, they won’t get far
Challenger A scores big of 80 points
Enemy B is trying to play hid
Radar from Enemy B is trying to destroy Challenger A, but fails
Radar from Challenger A discovers the enemy’s B weakness
Challenger A torpedo fired at enemy B
Ever so close
Target in sight
Suddenly enemy B submarine is blown to bits
Challenger A winning victorious score of 100
Enemy B loses to 0
Play station aim
Precision in maneuvering in the game.
