Kill a Love

Kill a love


There are times when I feel like just leaving you alone,
But there are times I don’t want to be here all on my own; 
But I know if we keep on, keep going on,
I can be right there with you when things go right 
And when things go wrong.


I hang out with the losers and the freaks;
I love those people, they are just like me.
Why are you so cruel?  
Why did you treat me like a fool?
Why do I care about anybody in this world?


I’m going to see you as a star and pick you apart;
I love you with all my heart, but to destroy is to create art.
To kill a love is to tear apart a connection.
One plus one equals love; this is what they call a misconception.


One plus one equals the possibility of two equaling love,
But it is not a definite answer to the question.
What happens when you put two people who love each other together?
I’m sorry the answer is not they stay together forever.


Kill me please; my life is a tragic comedy,
Written by the Devil and acted out by Jim Henson.
Love was my all, now it is just another word,
I have become the killer of love, I have become another version.


Version 2.0, the new me I became;
I have changed from lover of love to the death of hearts.
I live in a hole of endless pain,
I must kill love; I must banish it to the stars.

Premium Member The Dark Crystal

A humble tribute to a favorite movie
a tall story by director Jim Henson
who later created the Muppets

While most people struggle to create
and save their best works for last
this was not the case for this superstar

On the surface maybe a movie for kids
but no one is fooled by this masterpiece
young and old there are layers for all

Hansen's movie is pure genius
and touched me to my very core
in a haunting surreal way

It deals with innocence in the midst of
the balance of good and evil in the world
definitely a must see movie

This classic dates back to 1982
but its subtle spiritual aspects
stayed with me through life

~Lord, You Are My Strength~
(The Devil's Echo)


All my strength from Lord come, come, come
Thank You for all  Your grace, grace, grace
To You stick like glue

In   You  trust I know
With  You  I have a home, home, home
And in  Your  love glow

You help  pursue love, peace, peace, peace
Joy is knowing You

To You Lord come in prayer, prayer, prayer
Help me when get tense
Without You I can't bear, bear, bear
Come in my defense.

Necropoleis

"Necropoleis"



Naked and invisible
strange weather 
has transported 
me through the 
dark violet 
Necropoleis

towards the 
eternity that 
is You

Floating like a 
leaf, cold-veined
To another life
Fire, that is You

I am falling 
into You

Naked and invisible
strange weather 
has transported 
me through the 
dark violet 
Necropoleis

towards the 
eternity that 
is You

Awaking slowly
I am falling 
into You

Floating like a 
leaf, cold-veined
naked and invisible
transported through the 
dark violet 
Necropoleis 

Falling
into another life,

FIRE

towards the 
eternity that 
is You

David Henson

David can often be seen hot on the trail, 
Of Richard Whitehead, sprinter, runner, 
And was reported in Rio de Janero’s mail, 
As the 200m bronze medalist, stunner.

He went to St George Catholic College, 
Located in Southhampton, that busy port, 
Attended Hertfordshire Uni on the page
Of mechanical engineering, to his purport. 

But having joined the Army, made officer, 
One day he stepped on a hidden IED, 
So both his legs were amputated, better, 
But he walked in no time, sports to see. 

During his rehab at MOD Headley Court, 
David found himself by sports enthused,
And got into swimming, basketball’s court, 
Also sitting volleyball did find him amused. 

After rehabilitation David did a Masters, 
In biomedical engineering, at Imperial, 
He inquired into an amputee’s masters -
Their prosthetics - he had opinions vocal.  

At the Invictus Games he did many sports,  
To win the gold in the 200 metres sprint,
And so made the 2015 IPC Euro consorts,
In Doha, Qatar, to bear the UK flag, flint. 

The next year in 2016, Euros in Grosseto,
He was clipped to the line by Whitehead,
And so ran in Rio to entertain with gusto,
When he almost fell, but recovered dead.

Premium Member A Beautiful Friend

“There’s not a word yet for old friends who’ve just met.” - Jim Henson

Most people hopefully know that feeling
when things just happen to “click” between two people.
That has happened to me more than a few times in my life,
and often through poetry it occurs, as it did when I met
Caycay!

A tad younger than I and living far from me on the east coast,
Caycay lives in a house filled with kin, cats, and chaos -
bundled all together with love, for Caycay is most kind and generous.
She believes in things like Karma and being true to oneself,
not dwelling on negativity, and trusting things to the universe.
I credit her devotion to this belief system (along with other friends
of mine with similar views) to affecting my own views in these past years-
years which have been fraught with strange new circumstances for me.

In many ways, Caycay and I are quite different.
We have had very different life situations
and very different types of trials heaped on us.
Physically, she is short and petite; I am average in those regards!
She is ruled more by the heart and I by the mind.
She is not fond of writing in meter as I so often do,
but her poetry reverberates the multi-colored songs of her soul.
We both adore playing with words,
but while I often adhere to strict rules of grammar,
Caycay sometimes throws those rules to the wind,
and this wind-tossed creativity cleverly delivers
unique poetry phrasings that waft touchingly to the hearts of her readers.
Yes, Caycay was born to write, and as with all conscientious poets,
she and I share that marvelous passion.

Caycay is special because she never judges me;
she always uplifts me as she uplifts everyone who crosses her path.
We are completely ourselves with one another.
Nothing is held back, concealed, or sugar coated.
My other close friendships are all like this too:
not restricted by rigid conditions or confounded by silly misunderstandings.
How wonderful that I found a friend whose Horoscope chart
is even so compatible with mine! 
Not just friends in poetry, we are soul sisters!

* Caycay's birthday is coming up Oct. 3. Remember to wish her a happy birthday!

Premium Member my love for sesame street

Which ones are my favorites? Who can say?
It changes hour by hour, day by day
Bert and Ernie have a banter so fine
But Oscar is adorable in his garbage grime.

Count Dracula and Cookie Monster are both a fave.
I would have a difficult time choosing which one to save.
Miss Piggy is outrageous, such a handful for Kermit the Frog.
I love it that they are paired up, in their romantic fog.

Sesame Street was one of the best teachers around.
Their word play was spectacular, as was their color and sound.
They taught my children about vowels, and silent E.
Jim Henson was one of my favorite designers on TV.

Which one of the Muppets is the most like me?
I think Big Bird, that yellow walking talking feathered tree.
I can see walking the street and poking my beak everywhere.
And being cherished for my openness, to be totally fair.

Premium Member He's Always There For Me- Herald Angel

(Herald Angel) 


If 
I call 
Him He's 
Always 
With Me 
In Him I do have the best friend that I could ever meet.Without him I'd be lost 
Jesus is his name and when I'm blue He lifts my spirit and gives me peace 
With Him by my side I should no fear anything 'cause He cares for me 
He's the best friend that anyone could ever have in their life 
He lifts me up 
He protects me 
He makes me strong 
When things are wrong 
With Him I can 
Be just myself 
With Him pass test 
He loves me best 
With Him I want 
To be each day 
Because is my 
Best friend for sure 
I'm so happy 
He's with me each 
Day and all night 
God's my delight!

November 10, 1969

Sesame Street (1969-) and more recently
in The Muppet Show (1976-80).

an American puppeteer, animator, actor,
and filmmaker who achieved worldwide
notability as the creator of the Muppets

produced by Henson for ABC in 1974 and 1975.

Henson's shocking, sudden death occurred on May 16, 1990 of organ failure resulting from streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. An emotional memorial service was held five days later at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City.
