Pierre was a billionaire living in BelAir
A most successful concessionaire
Handsomely suave and debonair
Loved reading excerpts from Voltaire
Played for hours games of solitaire
His favourite lair was in a cozy wingback chair
Savouring his Earl Grey with chocolate éclair
Loved to travel just about anywhere
His wife accused him of having an affair
With a stewardess high in the air
Turned out it was she dating a commissionaire
Though every night she said a little prayer
She got caught with her derrière in midair
Quite unaware of her disheveled hair
And how deep she fell in her own snare
Totally no panache or an ounce of flair
She thought life to her had been unfair
Since Pierre’s money she’d not get a share
It would all be left to an heir
One whose loyalty did not compare
Pierre’s cuddly pet, his rare mohair bear
On this fine day I do declare
Liars and cheaters do beware
Play your games if you dare
But if I have my way I swear
You’ll only inherit your fair share of despair

If time shall not our derelict joys
Revive with tunes melodious so,
Let past's nostalgic merries balm
Our souls and bid all sorrows go.
Should ebbing laughter and smiles
Their cold arcs yet vanishing carve,
May old cheers of our jolliest whiles
Redeeming warmths pitifully impart.
Although gone mirths seldom thwart
Present galls despite their vivid hues,
Mortal forgetteries lulling blisses are,
As would certainly void painful clues.
Thus might sweetly reechoed tones,
Excerpts from our merriments dead,
Like beneficent ditties in unison allay
All lingering whits of lonesome dread.
And if blunt fate her forking bivouacs
Twirl and twine in drab manners sour,
Beclouding paths erst snowing white;
Here’s bold shield in life’s icings dour.
This is a collaboration with Susan Ashley, excerpts taken from her Amberina Ballerina poem. One of the best writes I've ever read, check it out!
Thanks Susan for your awesome work, I loved this and have high hopes for this song!
UNTAMED HEART
My untamed heart,
ruled by unruly wants
Sometimes in tatters,
but flatters and taunts
I played at life...
but life played me harder,
Lived bet to debt...
in life's Russian roulette
Chorus
I'm like a ghost ship,
stranded on breakers
searching for life, without any light
I rummage through...
my Psyches ruins
Dreams duel disasters,
but give up the fight
I place a wager...
speed into danger
My foolish whims,
scatter in mistral winds
Now tossed by waves,
by blind forces of fate
How they orchestrate,
time, distance and place
Bridge
Now all that's left...
lies fallow,
in fields of regret
Hopes of a new day...
are shattered
by a doomed sunset
Chorus
I'm like a ghost ship,
stranded on breakers
searching for life, without any light
I rummage through...
my Psyches ruins
Dreams duel disasters,
but give up the fight
Outro
Dreams duel disasters,
but give up the fight
Dreams duel disasters,
but give up the fight
repeat and fade

Life haunts me!
Every aspect of it.....haunts me !
It did not give me peace,
is not giving me peace,
suppose will never endow me with peace.
Not till the day, i finally escape from it.
Constant, a bitter halo surrounds,
questions, questions ! remains ever unanswered.
All I wanted
is to live by my heart, wanted to breathe free,
and the world to understand me.
What am I ? Why am I ? What purpose do i serve ?
Rode through million lectures but I still starve.
I am but a misfit, an outsider,
never wanted to wield brain, muscle or power
or strike life with lethal strategies,
tiresome masquerades and facade every hour.
In vain, waited and searched, for a life deserving for me.
Supreme and cruel it is, nothing but a conspiracy.
I cannot calculate or lie, wear any mask,
diplomacy and deception, indecency and dominance,
manipulate and massacre, always been to disgusted to master.
These are the tools of the Devil,
the scourge from his kingdom of hell,
then what should we think of our world, heaven?
No my friend, it is the excerpts of HELL!
Feelings and emotions, with the purity of my heart,
has only made me a mad man, in the evil eyes of the world.
I want to breathe free, the world to understand me,
to live by my heart,......... or this evil earth,
I will only abhor thee. Oh! how I abhor thee.
Please perish me, from this nonsense life,
and from all of its haunting miseries.

In a regular year, there’d be galas and balls
And we’d watch little snips on the news,
But since things are on hold and all protocol falls,
One big party was set for our views.
On a virtual stage, with Tom Hanks the M.C.,
It was concert and feel-good event;
Meant to unify all, it was, we’d all agree,
A warm welcome to our president.
Jon Bon Jovi, John Legend, Foo Fighters and Bruce,
Tim McGraw, Katy Perry and more
Sang with passion and joy, quite enough to produce
All the hope we need Joe to restore.
Former presidents banded together and spoke.
There were excerpts from speeches and poems
And a focus on all of those everyday folk
Who allowed us to stay in our homes.
At the end there were fireworks lighting the sky
While the mask-wearing Bidens looked on,
So symbolic and moving no one could deny
Such relief the old tenants were gone.
This is a continuation of an explanation I started at the end of The Liars Club post. So, to wrap this up I guess. The two complaints against the lawyer and the psychiatrist were promptly dismissed. BUT, the complaint against the therapist with the board of social workers in Minnesota is still pending. :/ Yeah, I know. Long time with no conclusion. I have pretty much given up on that. But they still send me a notice from time to time telling me that my case is still to be considered and that these things take time. Yeah? Whateva. :) So, I hope you can see the reality of all of this because it is my reputation on the line. I'm going to ask you. Have none of you ever had this kind of hurtful thought enter your mind in passing? If you say you haven't, then I truly have to wonder if you're being honest with yourself. Yes, that's an awful thought. But, that's the point people. It was just a thought. I hope you can see me in the light in which I tried to convey this episode in my life. I had to go in front of a board of directors at one of the temporary hospitals they put me in after the 2 month stay at the mental health unit. And tell my story about the intention vs just a thought before they would let me go. And that is why they let me go and they also wrote a memo in my file that they concurred with me about the situation. Whew! I hope if you've read this you can see a bit of my side. I'm sure there will be some who just don't give much credence to my side and will defend her reasoning for doing what she did. But she did more damage than she did good. Except for the fact that she probably saved my life. But then she screwed it up pretty good too. I can only imagine all the people my old girl friend has told about this. As she is quite social, and as you know, people love a good piece of gossip. Thanks for reading if you still are. This was actually pretty cathartic for me. Love Leslie.
Note: Dear reader, I wrote the Chrysalis to announce that I am 61 yr's old and I am transitioning Male to Female. Does this matter in this past occurrence. Only in so much as I was presenting and was known as Robert then, not Leslie. I'm still in need of changing my name legally. <3
“Driving by your house”
So you are checking out my house
“I wonder if it was a dream”
Yes it was
“All I need is a little loving tonight”
Is that all you need? Lol
“Give me one reason to stay here”
Just one?
“Be careful of what you do”
Aren’t you?
“Remember you always think twice”
Lol, are you sure you can do that?
“If I fall for you, I will never recover”
Haha you can bet on that
“You take all of it wrong baby”
Oh yeah? How close am I?
“Sorry I don’t understand where all of this coming from”
You’ve been sleeping?
“Then I see you baby, everything is alright”
That’s better, lol
Are you sure you can handle it now?
Ohh I just love these songs
They are just too funny
“Have I told you lately that I love you?”
No but it’s not going to help
If you are in trouble
You are in trouble buddy
Anyway, I’ll leave for now
I will continue to poke fun at these
As it gives me pleasure to do so
“With or without you
I can’t live with or without you”
Make up your mind
I got to go
Okay here I go, lol
Deliverance from the moral mutual and spiritual
enemies of all mankind and both yours and also
mine.
Deliverance from feeling and emotions and thoughts
of bitterness, anger and sadness and pain and
resentment and death and pain and despair of morbid
grief and sinful worries.
Deliverance from depression and anxiety and stress and
fear of all of the things that is happening and going on in
the world as we know it today.
Who will go behind us and go forth in front of us? Nobody
will like Jesus Christ. When we walk through the valley
of despair--Jesus Christ is always there. But what about
the mountain top?
Jesus Christ's great guidance will never stop!
He always and already has been blessing me and keeping
me safe and secure under the protection of His wings and
by His Holy word and His Holy Spirit. And He is doing the
exact same thing for you and also and always.
Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again--
my Savior and my God!
Psalm 42:11
This helps me to cope much better with my morbid and sinful
thoughts and worries and my anxiety and depression and stress
during my day as assaults brought about because of the enemy
of all mankind and yours and also mine.
***These are excerpts from my I Phone to some close and
personal friends of mine and I sincerely hope and pray that
they will also bless you and help in your life's painful
struggles.
All of my love, life, dedication and devotion in
Christ Jesus!

I have an active imagination. I am born to build walls, to break the chains, to free the slaves, to free myself.
I am making a difference, I am changing the course of time, I am allowing people to be who they want to be, fear nothing, and live life on their own terms.
Yesterday only, I fought with a dragon, reclaimed my territory, freed the people who needed freeing, and was the hero, the villain the conqueror, the survivor.
I have an active imagination and can be anyone, can do anything, achieve anything, and pass any hurdle.
I can live as long as I want to, I can eat as much as I want, I am the scholar, the Nobel laureate, the president, the Prime Minister, I am the person in power and the person living a life in the Himalayas but most importantly I am me with all the inhibitions and I am happy.
But all this is the product of my active imagination and I cherish each part of it.
A man who wrote with strokes so bold’ of the
Struggle of humanity.. Long may his excerpts
Be told’ he helped write the American constitution, all his writes are original; and Often Concerned with restitution.. Yet too much
To satan I see he gave, with that line on ruling
A error (most grave!) though he was only human as
Anne Lise put on shaky…Yet effects are far reaching, through many a century..’ As I will
Here put this man’s work on the whole was good’ yet I’d not give a whit to the devil..’ if
I do? Then condemn me, that things may be
That be well understood.’ Consider Joseph in
The Egypt of old, who gathered the grain and
Kept it as gold, slowly he took all the people did
Hold, then put them in usury.. Was God really
Glad? It says much of the world that he”s a
Hero at all. Do we have inbuilt moral decrepitude? What say ye all.?
