Your ass is slightly enlarged
Your hips are somewhat wide
You have wrinkles all over your thighs
You eyes they droop
Crows feet shoot me dead
With your dreary eye stare
The world sees ugly, over due and despair
Your chest is a scar
Red and ripe, disfigured and bare
Your time is up
Old maiden of the past
Your saggy story makes you a sad lass
However not all is as it seems
Those passerby’s who seek no depth
They know not the secrets of innocent youth
They drink not from the water of the wise well
I see you, so clear I cry
Your smile, your laughter and you wonder why?
I have fallen for you, faults and all
For me it’s your beauty that stands so tall
You are a painting on a museum wall
Desired, your smile for sure does enthrall
Your voice sings to the heavens above
Your touch upon my heart melts my cold dark wounds
The lines I see upon your face
Each a sign of wisdom and grace
May I kiss that scar upon your chest?
May I confess you that scare is the door to your desires
A place I dreamed to live from the start
Let me dance, let me sing
You are my beauty, so let me in
Love letters flow, like grapes to wine
Silently we sway to and fro, passing time
In my veins you flow, you can not run away
Needless dances of insecure thoughts
If only, if only I could have this last Serenade
The root of all suffering is striving
For something we aren’t or don’t have.
Desire per se isn’t the problem at all
As it’s just a natural response to being alive,
But attachment to that object of desire certainly is,
And yet attachments can be good,
Such as the attachment to being alive…
But striving for something we aren’t or don’t have
Implies a basic dissatisfaction
With what we are or have,
And this implies a basic misunderstanding
About what we are and the nature of things in general.
Things are just things
They come and go,
And obviously they don’t always come,
But when they do,
They also always go.
Who we are is more of a mystery.
And I wouldn’t want to spoil that mystery for you
So I’ll leave it at that.
But exploring and discovering more about it
Is, needless to say,
The sine qua non of being human,
And yet all too many haven’t figured that out yet,
Which is acceptable for children but not adults,
And in fact may define what it means to be adult.
So, Life; living, eating, drinking, breathing, reproducing
These are the obvious givens,
And yet the mystery of it all
Remains hidden and illusive
Waiting to be discovered in our own way
On our own terms
And thus remains always a mystery
Always just beyond thought,
A something that isn’t a thing,
At the tip of our tongue,
At the periphery of perception
A Deja vu we have dreamt a million times
And yet still can’t grasp.
The solution?
Obviously simple;
Don’t think about it,
Stay so busy you don’t have the time or energy to.
In this way satisfaction comes effortlessly
As the by product of simply staying alive.
Work or play, what difference does it make?
Not enough you say?
Well then, enjoy your suffering!

I met Peter for a blind date
His bad habits I REALLY hate
He sat picking his nose
Finding fluff from his toes
Then both of these items he ate!
His mother accompanied us …
She’d sat next to me on the bus
Told me Peter was ‘pure’
And to be doubly sure
She’d tied up his balls in a truss!
Peter was a prolific farter
So our date I deemed a non-starter
The wind from his tush
Came out in a rush
I went home as I’m not a martyr!
Fiction write BUT I did go out with a guy who wanted to bring his mother with us when we went on honeymoon ….needless to say I didn’t marry him!

Well, here's the deal with my dismay.
I really find it needless to say.
If you can't figure out what's wrong.
I doubt you'd get the meaning of the song.
Sooo, I feel the need to say so long.
Listen, if you want to know.
What's deep inside and makes me glow.
Just take a look into the mirror.
What you see is what you hear.
Listen, get outta here. (Boston or New York accent needed. Which ever one is right. :)
The reason that I seem so ranker.
I am not your emotion banker.
Just get your head out of your ... .
If you don't like it, take a pass.
Somethin' stinks, you got gas?
Are you starting to get the picture.
This is my unspoken lecture.
Yeah, there is plenty underneath.
Aren't you glad I didn't bequeath.
I feel like I need to brush my teeth.
So, now you know why I didn't mention.
All the anger and the tension.
That rubs me till I'm almost raw.
About things and people that I saw.
Cause I'd rather share a big guf-faw.
For the slam contest
Internal Inhibition
Internal Inhibition!
It’s a humiliation
to self realisation
from fake imagination.
Needless to feel embarrassed.
Not to act religious
But always play righteous
Be dauntless courageous
No shyness just courteous.
No fear of being harassed.
Have faith on self dependence
Prime is your own confidence.
Avoid silly reticence
Wobbling causes nuisance.
This simple fact to perceive.
Meet challenge, make progress
Go forward not to regress
Explore life: Goal to access
Proceed to attain success.
On journey be decisive.

Drizzling, dazzling
splinters of diamond
Shards of crystal
or liquidized glass!
Transparent drops
from a translucent sky.
Ooh, that lucid lustre:
No wonder they say,
there's something sexy about the rain
Atleast it does seem to drive
dripping lovers insane.
And then as if frenzied, suddenly excited
the drizzle converts into a heavy downpour
as thunders bellow and thunders roar
as rivers swell and rivers soar.
Rain battering our rooftop
like needless war drums
or heedless bass drums
The heavens having opened
to announce a cloud burst
Till it's said to be raining cats and dogs
or more realistically, fishes and frogs!
O' God bless the nimbus
Those soaking cotton wool puffs in the sky
Those candy floss rainclouds sailing by.
I wrote this as a reminder to us all that Love and Light, Peace and Harmony, Joy and Blessings, Hope and Faith are meant to be our achievements as Souls.
Stay blessed and take care.
Last day of August

On this last day of August
May we leave our cares behind
May men seek Peace and Harmony
And find common ground
For we are all one people
No one is better than another Soul
Brothers and sisters on Earth
Meant to guide each other Home
So much suffering and indifference
So much needless worrying and sorrows
Why can't we see the Love and Light?
Why aren't we thinking about tomorrow?
All this war and strife, dear heart
Is not helping anyone at all
Only those who seek power and greed
Can gain when we're lost and forlorn
We are meant to focus on Joy and Blessings
We are meant to have Hope and Faith
We are pure Love and Light eternal
Not just part of the human race
Fashioned from starlight and stardust
Created to expand the Universe's delight
Why can't we see our Divinity?
Instead of focusing on needless fights?
On this last day of August
Could we try to connect and feel deeply?
Let's allow Heaven's Grace into our lives
And Love and Light throughout Earth's people

The more I slept
I’m to find the lesser sleep
For dreams they crept
As when rest I truly need
Keeping one awake for experiences
Never for when we truly need
And dreams... they are like distances
One we never wanted yet we plead
An eventual sleep led me
And a needless dream I am to see
To keep me from a person I’m used to be
Yet to find a reality I awake to not be free
It had to be tiring
Real or not... kept me thinking
For sleep never bothers like dreaming
When its all day I kept wondering
Dreams whence crept
When its reality I don’t even need
Yet those of nights I slept
To only find if not my lesser sleep
Peace-loving peoples of the world are demanding of you, Mister Putin,
That you cease at once this murderous and needless shootin'!
Why can't you and others of your ilk leave other people alone?
Don't you have a soul? Don't you care about the misery you have sown?
How can you justify the indiscriminate massacre of a nation's population,
Destroying families and the infrastructure of a peace-loving nation?
Have you not seen the horror on a mother's face as she cuddles her little one,
Being separated from her husband left to fight a war that only you've begun?
Think of the grief among your nation's mothers' having lost a son,
That you conscripted to use as fodder in the cruel war you've begun!
We pray that with unwavering resolve that the valiant patriots of Ukraine,
Will prevail and that soon, their peace and freedom they will regain!
Peace-loving peoples of the world are demanding of you, Mister Putin,
That you cease at once this murderous and needless shootin"!
I sometimes have job opportunities with very great benefits and incomes,
and I'm often approached more times than none by various unemployed victims,
who ask me if I can do anything for them
to get them accepted into my livelihood and membership of my very great union.
Before obligating myself to any of them,
I'll look straight into the eyes of each and every one of them,
"Heed my words strongly," I then say to all of them.
"I don't take kindly to being interrupted or for myself to be repeating.
Are you willing to risk screwing up my good reputation
by screwing up regularly if I recommend you to be accepted into my very great union?
If you're a screw up and will screw up, please save me the aggravation,
because you will have then screwed up permanently my good reputation.
My superiors will never trust another one of my recommendations
that could have helped a deserving family in need had I recommended them.
So again, if you're a screw up and will screw up, please save me the aggravation,
because when you screw up with me,
I'll have to kill you sadly,
and on that issue I am never joking."
Needless to say I get few applicants asking for my recommendation,
but the ones I do recommend become the very best at performing their profession.
