I can’t decide which woman I want.
I fancy six but it comes down to two.
I will probably end up with none,
But as I always have given you, this is my truth.
Honestly it is frustrating.
Can’t be bothered with all the dating.
Just want to say will you be mine?
But still in my mind I can’t decide.
One I know to be quite lovely.
One to me is a complete mystery.
The one I know has little flaws.
The unknown quantity could possibly have more.
One is single and could be dated,
Whilst the other I don’t know if she wants to be dating,
Or already has a love of her own.
Choices are discussed with you on my phone.
That’s how it starts,
With a self-sent text message.
Want one of two to be my missus.
See them talk and want them both,
But I’m getting old and they are both so far and yet so close.
One has beauty.
One is beautiful.
One might be perfect,
Though that is doubtful.
So which shall I choose?
I will leave it to fate
And wait for the day,
They ask me out on a date.
But the time is approaching.
The day of love Valentine.
Will you be mine?
Or will I never shine?
Left for dead, because of my head.
Can’t have only heart in charge.
Lust may lead, but I want more.
I want a connection which will never part.
The next is my last.
At least that is what I hope.
Don’t want a million to choose from.
Just a sign that says go,
An answer which is not no,
And a woman who understands why I say ‘nope, nope, nope’.

I'm afraid of getting old
When my body will be so weak and won't be able to resist what it's resisting as of my youth
I'm afraid of getting old
When my movement will be restricted and controlled by a wheelchair or a walking stick, when I'll be running out of time
I'm afraid of getting old
When my thought will become colder and my voice will become lower
When my intestines will be choosy of food to digest
I'm afraid of getting old
When my face will be so shrink and ugly
When death will be tormenting my soul
And fear to see how the next world would be
Hell? or Heaven?
In a nutshell, I'm afraid to die.
Almost broken
If you change the words you will never find your end.
You will forever be chasing your thoughts,
Until the day that you are dead,
And when you are left without strength,
How will you once more rise to stand again?
I guess it's cool to be okay.
I think, I thought, I hope it ends up that way;
But life is a mystery of a story not yet told.
Who will guide me when I am beyond getting old?
Life has kicked me and I have bitten back.
People have used me, I’m used to that.
Family loved me, the best love I ever had.
I was almost broken, but I’m still swinging my bat.

Hooming in the near lorizon,
another girthday makes me bloomy
The yays, the dears are massing paster!
I am diserablly mepressed, and in a date of great sistress!
Age, you may agree, is rot for nissies!
More crinkles fill my worehead, more frowsfeet crame my face!
My shin is cagging, my doobs are bropping, my wackside biggles to and fro
One turn in front of glirror mass, and blaring gack is not the ass

My cimples are just dellulite, and jormones humping out of whack

Hig a dole and put me under!
My grair is hayer, my wips are hider, and travity has taken goll!

The man who wanted to be Emperor
He was (is) a great president of his country, the two
presidents before him had nearly destroyed the country
one for being naïve, the other for a hopeless drunk.
The state was nearly in a state of collapse, thanks
to the kleptocracy before he took charge.
Who was this man? From a lowly functionary, he had
the ability to know something about the many
who stood in his way, ruthless and energic, he rose
through the ranks and won the highest price.
The country thrived under his leadership and the people
loved him and didn’t interfere with his rule.
But his dream was much bigger, to rebuild the great
empire and dominate the states surrounding his country
Countries that once had been a part of the domain.
He was getting old (70) and had to act now.
He started a war to bring another country to heel
but soon found himself in trouble he hadn’t reckoned
with the latent hatred, Europe had for his state.
When he tried to recruit his people to make a bigger
army, the people turned against him didn’t share in
his dream of greatness; he had played his last card.
The end game is as follows, he can be unseated
and banished to his castle in the forest, or be shot,
deep in the cellar of Lubyanka.
GUARDIAN ANGEL
Last night I had a dream, it had a tale to tell
I dreamed I saw an Angel the poor thing wasn't well
His body bruised and battered, his wings were ripped and torn
he looked as if he wished that I was never born
I walked up to him and I asked, "Angel how can this be"
He turned around and paused a bit then spoke these words to me
I am your Guardian Angel a great task as you can see
You've run a muck all your life look what it's done to me
These bruises are from shielding you in times both dice and ill
Those dangerous things you had used I often paid the bill
See my wings are ripped and torn, a noble badge that I wear
How often they have flown you from evil unaware
Each Mark is its own story of deadly wounds destroyed
You've made me wish more than once that I was unemployed
If only you could make it and stand up on your own
Oh don't you fret or worry you shall not be left alone
But please try to remember that I'm getting old and frail
We will see if you can help yourself only time will tell
I could not believe all I'd heard let alone how much he cared
I sat and wept upon his shoulder then left in despair
The next morning I pondered all the things that I had done
And that's when the transformation hit, my life had finally begun
So I made a final decision to change my life and try
And in the distance I thought I heard a frail old Angel cry...

I sit at my bench again,
this whole scene is getting old.
Same old sinners skulking in,
same defense a trillion-fold.
Now the room fills up with steam.
Next, flames shoot up through the grate.
I'm so bored I want to scream!
Here's the part I really hate...
Blah, blah, blah, "I beg you, sir,
this is all one big mistake...!"
Ugh! Stop clutching at my fur!
YOU'LL be burning at the stake.
I've been doing this so long,
I forgot when it began.
Sentencing the endless throng
of the very worst of man.
NEXT...! Let's go - don't hold the line,
I've got legions more to see.
Quicksand... Sharks... Irate canine...
Punishment is up to me.
Used to be I really dug
civic aspects of this job,
now I just want to unplug
from this whole unholy mob.
What if men just acted right?
What if more went UP, than down?
Maybe I'd take off a night...
or perhaps go out of town...
WAIT. Did I just have that thought??
Oh my badness, I'm not well...
Feel my head - am I still hot?!
...Guess there ARE cold days in hell!
I hate goodbye. One more try, one more cry, one more lie…. to my self.
F-it!! Goodbye!
Ish should have been in the shelf!
So long, farewell, sayonara MotherF-Er
Mother’s. F-ing. Tired. Tried and true but now she’s through.
Ready for you to go but not ready to watch you leave. I still believe, hoping against hope, maybe this time but NOPE!!
I heard vision is 20/20 from behind and love is blind. Hmmm, I disagree, I knew in a moment, just didn’t wanna own it.
Acting like Jamie Foxx in Ray.
Broke the truth and bought the lie. I finessed me, 2nd guessed me, choosing to perceive you would become your best for “we”.
Knew it could & would never be what it should, that which I desperately longed to see.
Jumping up and down. Cheering you on. Let’s go!!! Go! Go! Go! That’s my man! I knowwww he can!!!
But you won’t because you don’t…. want to. No caption but I still get the picture. An illusion of love & happiness.
A whole f-ing mess!!!
In conclusion, we are for looks, the Book, likes & hearts…. SMDH….
Got folks thinking we showing out best parts
Hashtag #relationshiphgoals
Nahhhhh……Hashtag #Fakenews
The real story goes untold. Whew!!! This ish getting old.
I hate goodbye but I hate being fake.. had just about all I can take.
Yeaaaa but I hate goodbye… ok, ok.. One more try. For real!!
Love never fails…….not my story to tell.
Pro-longing the pain, being strong in vain. It was never right, always wrong but I knew it all along.
Put in ten to accept what I really already knew back then. Three thousand, six hundred and fifty days, five thousand ways. Eighteen hundred and 25 more before heading toward the door, no longer could I stay.
Go ahead contemplate, have in-depth debate, no matter the length of the wait or how much you anticipate….
Love ain’t no match for fate.

The sun is out and the wind is blowing my way
I’m here in the park with my grandson today
There are some kids with which he found to play
But it was for a short time, for their mothers took them away.
So with him I played a game or two of tag, football and
“Steal the old man’s bacon” – he would run and I would just fake it.
We walked over to the exercise course, but those were built
For a strong young horse.
Not even one push up or pull up could I do, I felt so ashamed
And didn’t know what to do.
I thought I was one active young 69 – “man oh man”
I sure am blind! ( ha- ha)
I do look young for my age and I feel like a very young man!
But who am I fooling? It’s just my scam.
I can still walk o.k. and jog a little
If you give me some of your cats “tender vittles” (ha-ha)
All of us will look back at our younger years and try to hide our inner fears
Of when you can no longer do it like you did before
Because time has closed that door.
Now the clouds are starting to roll in, and I’ll leave this park with a grin.
And think of how a grandfather played with his grandson
And I wasn’t the only one.
There are others sitting on the benches watching their
Grandchildren play.
When you get old! This becomes the way!

We drive home in the rain -
a hectoring spray.
The car is preoccupied;
four significands -
a dog,
an ex-wife,
a son
and a prevailing spouse.
There are gossiping ghosts also;
past memories too damp now to be defined.
Some link arms and whisper together.
Some stare at the back of my head.
The living and dead
bunch together in the Chevy
as pale as marshmallows
in this grey and sluicing light.
Ex-wife and new wife don’t like the way I drive,
apparently I have aged terribly.
The dog loves me,
but is a moody and wants out.
My son twiddles with his phone,
deleting yesterday’s play list,
probably also deleting Mom and Dad
at least until the end of the ride.
I think we are all in love with someone here.
I think the rain and the road are in love.
They splash over each other
as if they will never part.
When it pours like this
A car has to know how to see
beyond its lights.
The wipers must know how to
clean up each moment
before it becomes momentous.
There are doubts about the present,
it is not as concrete
as the highway a few a years back.
There are patched up potholes,
but the rain is eating its way
into the run-down earth.
The visibility is not as clear
as those trips we took
when we were much fewer.
My circle of askew relationships
is mushrooming.
Grandchildren, even great grand-children,
squeezed up to my past and present hauntings.
The Malibu is getting old.
I may have to get a big rig and trailer
just to carry the personal luggage
of all of us peeps.
