The Sun Is a Liar

Inferiority complex as a kid, adolescent and emerging adult

Yours truly (an amazingly,
gracefully, and markedly modest
passively aging baby boomer -
formerly introverted long haired
pencil necked geek),
prattling wordsmith doth behold
nostalgic memories regarding father
(Boyce Brandon Harris)

In a universe far far away
There lived a penguin, whose thoughts did weigh
Heavily on his mind.

She assembled words of worship
Simplicity filled her pages

Writing with perseverance for the Builder

With truth, she engages

Writing with praise for the Creator
She crumbled her satisfied soul 
Joy...

I had lately been in the career doldrums, for I was an aspiring, eager actress,
Like lavish summer blossoming rampantly, in wild, passionate distractedness.

I'd enjoyed a few triumphant successes, still, they were few and far between,
Like...

The wispy white clouds 
highlighted now stand further out

And I am suddenly stood transfixed

And I can feel the sun warming 
comfortably at my back

As I am dressed inappropriately in...

Highwire dancer in cautions step
sets out to brave her highest ascent
No net to break a possible fall

Mirror

In this mirror asks
Who stands before thee?

Recognize not her
She could not be me

Once before this reflection clear
Stood a maiden young and dear.

Breasts full and supple  
Lips tender hot.

Desirous...

I arose to the sun beating on my face
Stretching out all the aches and pains
Rubbing out the old stale tears from all the yesterdays
Whipping the sweat of all the left over strength from my pale...

I lean back slowly in my desk chair and I stare into the darkness
And sometimes I just...

I can’t help but dream to jump in one 
And just make the ride last 
Ride until the roads blur
And I don’t know the street names 
Or where I...

Idioma

There is a man with a gun.
His finger taut,
tensed and still,
the intention obvious,
no reason instilled.

Because guns kill people.

Sitting in a run down bar
Toasting Christmas' once again
Making New Years Resolutions
That in eight days I'll amend
Watching Christmas Specials
On what happened this past year
All the while waiting
For another glass of beer

When I smiled all the time, laughed till my sides were hurtin'.
When it didn't take much to make me giggle or even chuckle.

Fate Of Mankind...

A model of sobriety, a pillar of society.
