For Sometimes Love Is Not Enough

Hey sugar I’m defriending you
The time has come to say adeiu
A long time pal who undermines 
the plans I make to change my life.
Sweetly in my life each day 
your crystal heart has caused decay.

Lurking unexpectedly
Any chance to ambush me
You’re hidden there in every bite,
Satisfying, smug delight.
Which I regret everytime
I can’t stop, once I taste:
My heart beats
Eyes dilate
I’ve fallen for your sweetened charm.

But sometimes love is not enough 
Your honied calI I must rebuff.

Addicted! 
I try so hard to give you up

All my life you’ve been there
Pretend to give, but you don’t care
For the chaos left behind:
Rotten teeth and heart disease
Diabetes, swollen knees
Expanding waist, 
Bloated face
Your reputation in disgrace.

You have to go!
Your time is up!
A wholesome friend is what I want.
Take your saccharine caress elsewhere.

Now l stand my ground, I’m being tough
For sometimes love is not enough.


The Heart

The Heart
  1  The heart has many chambers it is just like a small pump
  2  Tyrones’ is getting full and needs cleaning like a sump.
  3    It’s a difficult thing to clean a human heart
  4    With  what to keep and with what to part.
  5    A double pump.
  6    The heart is not like an EYE
  7    The heart is what lets you live or die
  8     Look after your double pumped heart
  9     Or from this world you may have to depart.
10	England has a high rate of heart disease
11	Blocked arteries do not appease, doctor agrees, eat more berries for good    hearts and good bodies.

12	Our hearts are our life line
13	“Anyone who has a Heart” will be fine.
14	Happy and upbeat all the way along the line
15	Exercise is laborious, difficult, fatiguing and arduous 
16	But you can sing out in divine chorus
17	Happy eyes are what we see a when we have a fit body
18	Not our lives running on empty
19	Take a grip and live life while in your prime
20	But perhaps not it has now lost its prime. (My Birthday Suit)

Premium Member Ever

Ever watch the man pull into wheelchair parking, 
get out of his car and walk into a store.
Ever watch an obese woman eating at a buffet 
and you think there is just no excuse,
Ever see a teenager with piercings standing in a store, 
you quickly move to another aisle.
Ever stand in line for a cashier and tap your feet 
while the elderly woman counts out her change.
Ever look at the woman wearing a hijab 
and think she is different and cannot be trusted.
Ever want to sit down on the bus 
but some young whipper-snapper does not give up their seat.
Ever consider that you may be prejudice 
and need to carefully examine why you feel that way.
Consider this;
The man in wheelchair parking has heart disease
and cannot walk long distances without developing angina.
The obese woman gained weight when she developed arthritis
and is no longer able to work-out as she had when she was well.
The teenager is kind and thoughtful and was about to ask you 
if you need help in reaching an item on the shelf,
The elderly woman worked hard all her life and is just trying to make
the cashier’s life easier by giving her the exact change.
The woman wearing the hijab is a kind and caring person 
who is about to become your physician,
The young whipper-snapper on the bus has just been diagnosed 
with cancer and is too weak to stand for the ride,
Ever think that you are making judgement 
without knowledge or the full facts.
No more prejudice, 
Ever.

Premium Member Alcohol: Moderation Is the Key

Alcohol is a culturally accepted drug
Many drink alcohol at point in their lives
Some only drink during social occasions
Others may have an evening glass of wine

Moderate alcohol consumption can reduce your risk of heart disease
The benefit is not so great that a non-drinker should consider drinking alcohol
About 1/3 of those drinking alcohol will develop problems with alcohol
Drinking problems can increased your risk of serious health problems 
Accidents
Or injuries

If you want to drink alcohol
Moderate consumption is considered safe
Moderate drinking is considered 2 drinks a day for men
1 a day for women or lighter-weight men

A drink is 12 ounces of beer
5 ounces of wine
1 ½ ounces of hard liquor 
Each one counts as one carbohydrate choice

Premium Member Death Grip

The heart disease would be his final fate
His smoking cigarettes had brought him low
Only a short time before he would go
She tried to care for him in his final hour
In delirium he would pull off his clothes
Walk about the house totally exposed
In this sad state he went to sleep somehow
All night long she slept a sweet sound sleep
He's found Gripping a pull-up bar in death 
He held on for dear life even though deceased
What sight did he face in that final hour


Based on truth...

Revision

Death Grip

The heart disease would be his final fate
His smoking three packs a day had brought him low
‘Twas a short time before his death would come
In delirium he would pull off his clothes
Walk about his body totally exposed
In this sad state he went to sleep somehow
His wife slept a sweet sound sleep next to him
She awakened to this grief filled sight
The death angel came during the night
Death grabbed him while he held on for dear life
What sight/s did he see before he did go

Stranger

When I was young, at the age of three
heart disease took my father from me.
I will not hear his voice say I love you
he wont be there to walk me down the aisle 
the day I say I do
He was not there to teach me to ride a bike
didnt put together my first trike
he didn't see me off on my first day of school
or when I took my first high dive in the local pool
He didn't console me after my first heartbreak
or see me blow out my candles on my birthday cakes
he missed all my milestones
he'll never see how I've grown
or how beautiful his grandkids would be
he'll always remain a picture in my mind, 
my own created memory.

Premium Member Heart Song Seperation

Heart Song Separation

“We got separated from us last week and I haven’t found you since.”   Poet’s Quote

Too long my heart we beat in arrhythmic clashes
 Languishing in sudden cardiac heart arrest
Out of sync creating dark vascular ashes
 No phoenix rises from heart disease - never rests.

Too long my song we argue over melodies
 Distracted by atonal hallucinations
Dismissing cradle songs of haunting rhapsodies
 Elusive harmonies hide in cache creations.

Too long my words we engage in rhythmic stand offs
 Glaring at my silent muse - tense verbal showdowns
Impasse of wills – procrastination’s folly doff
 Disguised in masks adjectives appear as pronouns.

My aimless soul seeks union with lost heart song words
 Remembering your quiet smiles of peace fullness
Your velvet vesper serene these mourning tears blur
 As twilight yearns in midnight’s hypnotic stillness.

Too long my heart we beat in arrhythmic clashes
 Too long my song we argue over melodies
Too long my words we engage in rhythmic stand offs
 My aimless soul seeks union with lost heart song words.
