THE UGLY TRUTH GETS UGLIER

You think flattery and bull-dung will get you everywhere.  But when the worm turns, they flatter you and dangle carrots... and on your crawl back home, coughing and snotting all...

Two people meet. Is it by chance?
Can love begin with just one glance?
How do we know if it is real?
Have we imagined what we feel?

These questions burn within my mind. 
I wonder if I'll ever...

Carpe Diem, seize the day
Live by the rules of the game you play

When the going gets tough, look on the bright side
Silence is golden, take that to the...

When darkness envelopes 
my destiny
and all doors of hopes seem closed
still I feel some courage to breathe
because only you can give me that feeling
when all of a sudden
I find myself alone in this world
and accompanied...

Hands touch, accidentally
Short, deep glances by me, as she looks the other away
Be sure not to get caught
Although I expect she’s doing the same
We can’t do this, can we?
No-one will know, no-one gets hurt, isn’t...

Of all the letters you have written
Your last letter is the best,
And even in your apprehension
Stands apart from all the rest!

More love, more hope, more savoir faire than
I have ever seen before
The very pathway to...

Life worthy

Life’s too short so have a blast
Stop living in the bloody past

Get out there and live some life
Marry yourself a beautiful wife

Take some risks and quit that job
That turned you into a lazy slob

I knew what I was getting into
when Deb gave me my catch phrase.
It was the last one available
and seemed likely to net prose praise.

I mean why enter a contest
if  no points are likely to...

Dark mood
Falling pieces
sinking signs
not so fine and noticed by a stranger

or you'll regress
further than you ever dreamt

She’s so out of my league.
She’s just so out of my league.
So many guys want her-
Who’d consider any other?
Seems no one can have her.
She’s just so sunny sweet,
No other girl can compete.
All my friends and...

LAS NAVES DE MEDERA (Wooden Ships)
They wanted ships. What they got
was wooden shells
not a farthing from the Crown
for these floating buckets.
Six thousand corks, hastily riveted 
into the keel planking, kept them afloat.
Nina. Santa Maria. Pinta.
Nothing...

She's kissing mirrors and plucking hairs.
Wants to be with someone who cares.
She's running late - puts on a spurt.
She brushes her hair, slips on her new skirt.

She's hoping to meet a new someone.
Who won't just...

Smothered, 
patience wanes her cure
morning bites 
more than one can chew
and . . .
it's cursed, cast from demons
begging to get there first
 
blood drips down the back of the throat
in the stillness of the dawn

Billy Bob had fallen in love

Consuming his entirety

Awakening his heart ached

Asleep his love passed him by

Though yearning he did not reveal

Valentine's Day loomed so near

Dare he reveal his true feelings

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Was his one...

Do you ever think what might have been
When you drive alone at night
Just you and your thoughts in darkness
In the glow of the dashboard light

We were so young and innocent then
Playing parts in by a...

losing at some game
produces very little shame
no one else to blame
pride quite easy to reclaim
nothing ventured nothing gained

big or little stakes
wagers may keep minds awake
or make weak souls shake
don't bet what shouldn't be lost

Who were these men
who stood on deck,
and sailed the seven seas?
To hoist the sails,
and tell the tales
throughout the centuries.
Navigation by the stars
to islands then unknown,
like bitter root or passion fruit
the seeds of wisdom sown.
Adventure bound,...

Valiant suitor in pursuit; for a valentine he has on his mind,
Aching to catch the eye of a lady sweet, fair and kind.
Longing to impress, in his intentions, he must truly shine.
Each day he yearns...

Something's changed, like I knew it would
The feeling's subsided, like a piece of drift wood

Chasing shadows in the dark
Calling out your name in the stillness of the night

You stole my spark
You robbed me of my...

Never look through a window, never go through a door
If you are wary of what lies behind, you never will explore

If you make this decision, you may see things that you like
But there are maybe...

Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained
(Cream Rises To The Top)

In life, no natural law or proclamation, ever decrees,
that a day started badly must continue that path.
Through our daily encounters we can still breeze,

Steamy windows, sticky fingers,
nothing ventured, nothing gained,
drapes are open, quite the floor show,
naughty boy, she's got him trained.

They are primed, she strokes her body,
sweaty palms and velvet skin,
anticipation is the trigger,
ejaculation is the sin.

But is...
