Long Lifesaver Poems

(alternately titled: idolizing childhood's end
today April 25th, 2021
generates elusive warm treasured memories).

felt toward her “Willies” –
(totally tubular fuzzy bendable contrivances
analogous to an outsize pipe cleaner)

It’s what gets me up in the morning
It motivates me every day
Coffee
A normal person might say my dog
Or having to use the bathroom
Okay, a sad normal person would say that
Some things should just be legalized
Like...

I can see the hurt "Inside"
 But maybe her "Pride"

See the hurt in her "Eyes"
The Pain In...

Been so broken down, baby
Isolated, shuttered,
Dilipidated; in disrepair

Been so sad and empty
Before you, I didn't wanna care 
I had lost all hope and drive
To continue even trying
Void of volition
Drifting from day to day
With no desire...

You've always been a good true friend.
I thought you should know.

All our love has taken time.
And finally helped us grow.

We've had our rough times, but we gladly made it through.
The only person I've ever trusted...

When we were children, he played half a part in growing.
He was always sure of himself, forever knowing

A CUPPA TEA

A cuppa tea for my confused cluttered mind,
A cuppa tea to rest and try hard to unwind,
A cuppa tea  for our beings to merely cleanse,
A cuppa tea please, I have just been...

In health there has been a therapy
Always designed to take care of me
What about world with much waste?
For it am really developing a distaste.

What exactly was it that I had in mind
Many answers...

Always wanted to be a hero
But I am just another zero
I don’t live in a mansion
I can’t cope with fashion
I don’t drive the car I desired
I don’t have the job I aspired
Dreamt I would be...

This what I know that what I feel
Holding on to everything that belongs
That a hand will come up to save me

  are names of sojourners who’ve passed this way;
now my wandering boot does older tread
  where I passed on a long forgotten day.
Winding a road less...

Today I saw the problem
Which causes me much despair
Selfishness and stupidity, fear I saw
And, sadly, addiction standing right there
Another victim clinging to the lead weight
Lifesaver so many people will choose
While their neglected child watches a...

Disappeared from my presence,
Left on the bridge otherside path,
The reason
"Why"
Never cross sideways
With my heart's mind again-
Soulful within me
Answering the questions-

Bottom treading darken ocean,
One finger
Reached above surfacing waves,
Breathing in my behalf,
Life.
Seeing...

stranded, in the middle, of the ocean.
Going through, anxiety, and fear, with nothing, to cling,
while one sinks, without lift or motion.

Still there is, even though, may seem,...
