Premium Member Love In the Night

Laughing away like yesterday floating on down,
way downtown.
Picture your mother there, no one really cares: 
no one must care.
Kneel with the choir tomorrow dear 
smile for now, but hold back one tear.
Dying all over again, life with a running pen.
  Like a lion's den.
Kiss me for now, horizon girl. 
Drown me in frowns, horizon girl.
Your eyes make me lose my way
I wait until the last day, 
to take your heart away.
Touch my palm, horizon girl. 
Loving is gone, without you girl.
I stay up all the night,
 to hear you call one time.  
I split the night.
kiss me forever in just one touch, 
hold me forever, I'll hold my crush.
To see that gleam in your eye, 
I know I can't disguise.  Love in the night.
I don't belong here.  I can't move on.  
Call me one day, or call me not.
I need a steady line, I have to keep in time.  
With love in the night.

Zowie, yikes
And holy gadzooks!
It's that really silly
Poetry kook

Coming at you
With giggles galore
Funnies, chuckles
And so much more

A formula for sailing
Right through the day
Laugh at your troubles
It's better that way

No sense complaining
It makes you feel sad
Just think of it folks
Things really aren't bad

It could be worse
You could live in a shoe
Have dozens of kids
And animals too

No place to sit
While watching TV
Need to draw numbers
For a seat if you please

I'm a bit off the track
'Cause it's all about fun
Choose every day
To follow the sun

Really no matter
If clouds fill the sky
You can still go 'round
With a gleam in your eye

Zowie, yikes
And holy gadzooks!
Hope I've helped
Getting rid of your spooks

If just for an instant
Or just for a while
It's mission accomplished
If I've made someone smile

Tragic

Tragic…

We mourn your loss we’ve lost your love
A star so bright that now shines above us
No earthly glow remains yet still we know
You’ll follow with us wherever we go

Behind your smile and the gleam in your eye
How could we know all you felt inside
The inner pain and emptiness which we now feel
There is no escaping that which is real

We watched as you grew from child to man
Watched as your father and mother let go of your hand
We watched as you conquered those childhood fears
Watched as your focus became crystal clear

Your family and friends could see it in your eyes
How you lived everyday and how you loved your life
So many were touched by the love in your heart
And now we carry that with us though we’re torn apart

It’s tragic to think, it’s tragic to feel
Still so hard to believe any of this is real
The words that I’ve found within me can barely explain
The feelings I have for your family, our family in pain…

A Morning Birthday

The morning light shines down upon you and I, but nothing shines as bright as the gleam in your eye.

 Your smile is like a fresh breath of spring, and your memories are like a bell that constantly rings. Every time I close my eyes, I think about you and every laugh we share; every smile that you bring makes me want to sing.You have no idea the amount of love I have for you, and you alone. There is no road I wouldn’t walk down just to be by your side—happy, healthy, free, and able to be me. 

You make me feel like I’m brand new because with you, I smile, I’m happy, and I feel loved. I feel like a dove soaring high in the sky, wings spread out, cooing and chirping about you and you alone—the man that I adore, the man that I love irrevocably, unwaveringly, and unconditionally, I will love you more and more with each passing day, each passing second. I find myself falling into the depths of blue.

 It feels like I’m drowning, but in the best way, because I’m falling more and more in love with you. If your love was the ocean blue, I would swim for hours on end. I would bask in the sweet smell of the salt, the feeling of it splashing against my skin—the feeling of your love.

As I swim, I would look up at the sky: not a single doubt in my mind, not a single fear, not a single tear, not a single yell, and not a single cry, because I know that I am yours and you are mine. 

Your love keeps me going; it keeps me strong. You are my heart’s one and only song. I could listen to you for hours on end and never get bored. 

I could bask in the beats that your presence seems to make my heart adorn, because life just makes more sense when I’m with you.

I love you, Brandy Bear. Good morning to you, and happy birthday, my Sugar Bear.


Premium Member Alexandria

Long before Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians and Greeks, 
Before Hammurabi, Sargon and Ramses ruled 
The world below their feet;
Before biblical scenes and mythological dreams 
Of magical carpet rides,
I knew you back then 
Where sea breezes begin
And history was a gleam in your eye...  
Alexandria, Alexandria, city of pleasure and pain,
They called you Ricotis as I recall 
Earth Mother once called you by name.
Nestled on the Mediterranean Sea of monsters,
Pirates and explorers renowned,
You were not much more than desert floor 
Until the conqueror came to town.
Alexander, Alexander, God-man, ruler-thought divine,
Sailed by your winds where the world begins
And knowledge was born and thrived.  
In the halls of those palaces and places 
He built from his own vision quest,
To rule a world of enlightened beings 
Where all people could achieve their best.
Though he never quite saw your white marble walls,
With pillars of gold and blue; 
Of the Serapeum filled with scholarly souls
Recording their own world view. 
He never knew Pythagoras, philosopher, scientist extraordinaire;
Or the historians Philo and Josephus 
And the volumes of memories they shared. 
The early Christians, Church Fathers and Saints
Origen, Clement and Mark; 
Alexander never knew what he finally did 
When he gave you that worldly start.    
You’ve seen the Pharos come and go, 
Dynasties crumble and fall;
Romans and Greeks swept right off their feet 
And Cleopatra’s castle walls.
Pagans, Jews and Christians too
All vying for your love;
As whispering winds of Freemason friends 
Tell of Hermes below and above.
While Islam and Mohammed rule
In the shadow of the Sphinx, 
Pyramids and temples filled with hieroglyphs   
And obelisks that make you
Stop and think…
Alexandria, Alexandria, city of pleasure and pain;
So little I’ve spoken about you today
Compared to all I’ve gained.
Since the first day I once met you 
In that dream so way back when…
Alexandria, Alexandria, so glad we’re still
Good friends.

A Joy! A Joy!

A joy!
A joy!
A joy to the world
Born October 27th

A Joy!
A joy!
To my baby cousin
Of 2 years old

What a joy
When i see him I smile
For he is the new world life
He is the world's new innocents

When I see him my struggles go away
Struggles and pains
Which would only Taint that his brightness
Which would kill that innocents

A joy!
A joy!
Such innocents as to inspire hope
So as to inspire others to bring the same light to the world.

So please
O Please
Keep the gleam in your eye
The Gleam that can lead others in the dark

And as you do
Don’t waste your strengths
Don’t waste it on picking the same baggage up every day

For if you do
It will become yours 
Weighing you down and down

Use that gleam to help others
Carefully carry others baggage with them
And help them to carry it on their own

All so that one day
When a new joy
New innocents will enter the world
You too will appreciate
That which you’ve brought to the world
