To the abode
I offer information overload
You can’t tell
Fact from fiction
That’s exactly what we want
To continue this friction
Of us versus them
Them against they
Me against you
Add to the mix
Nobody has a clue
Of what is true
And what is a lie
All they seem interested in
Is watching you die
Emotions run high in this day and age
Where racism rules
And fascists rage
The powder keg has been lit
And the country has gone to s**t
Half live in the absurd
The other half in the blurred
One thing is for sure
2020 has been one big turd!!!
Who’s responsible?
Eric (and sometimes not)
How am I feeling today
Hang on let me check
All things being equal
I'm pretty good, by heck!
Woke up this morning
On the right side of the turf
Nothing can really drag me down
My days are filled with mirth
I'll try to pass some along
So my heart's not on overload
Gotta watch my dear old ticker
There's a danger it'll explode
Anyone who'd like to share my love
Can send a written request
To this Poetry Soup Jester guy
To accommodate, I'll do my best
Contrary to what you probably think
I don't have an unlimited supply
But have no fear, I've still got a bunch
To send you guys in reply
If the love I send you, my dearest friends
Happens to have a defective part
My service department is open till 10
To mend the broken heart!

"My daughter, a precious gift from God. She's the apple of my eye!" - quote by poet.
Any "Girl Dad" knows
Exactly what I mean.
Boy, how much I adore
My miniature queen!
It's a f e e l i n g
I can't possibly explain;
Akin to an overload
Of serotonin in the brain!
I've changed for the better
With a brand new attitude,
My cup of life overflows
With immense gratitude.
I don't know if I'll ever have a boy,
But my baby girl gives me so much joy!
Sweet but bitter
Slow and steady
Cool down
My friend
Take it easy my sister
Where are you rushing to
Easy slowly
What is hot
Will always get cold
Cos as life is
Sweet but bitter
Sweet but bitter
Take it easy
You will injure yourself
Why go too hard
Why overload the heart
You can't be faster than
Your shadow
how much can
You run
How long can you Go
Cos if you don't take
Your time you will
End so quick
Still life continues
Only for we the living
You see life is
Sweet but bitter
Sweet but bitter
Imagination is real
Only take reality
To prove it time
So be mindful of thought
Yet that don't change
The fact that we are living
In a universal world
Now is so sad so many great
Has only illusion to teach us
Cos they are so
Sweet but bitter
How am I feeling today?
Hang on let me check
All things being equal
Feeling pretty good, by heck!
Woke up this morning
On the right side of the turf
Nothing can really drag me down
Days are filled with mirth
I'll try to pass some along
My heart's still not on overload
But gotta watch for a signal in case
There's a danger I'll explode
Anyone who'd like to share my love
Can send me a written request
To this Happy Jack guy
To accommodate, I'll do my best
Contrary to what you probably think
I don't have an unlimited supply
But have no fear, I've still got plenty
To send you guys in reply
If the love I send you, my dear friends
Has any kind of defective part
My service department's open until 10 PM
To mend your broken heart!Center>
It was the first, and never before
Had flavor exploded, and I wanted more
My partner was dizzy from taste overload
Downing a pint of sweet Rocky Road.
I, with strawberries on my dish
An afternoon with just one wish
The cream my tongue was meant to taste
Nor any scoop were we to waste
Many a night, while sleeping alone
I’d drift off to sleep, and dream of a cone
And wonder what it would really be like
The time when you take that very first bite.
Tasting together the scent of each flavor
Ecstasy for each partner to savor.
And then a time of recovery and rest
Knowing that now you have mastered the test.
So go for it, and search the right type
Devour it all, with major delight
Just take the chance, and right it will seem
When you finally taste your first ice cream.
Fire raged through heavy wooded terrain,
Blizzard hit the panhandle hard,
Bad windstorm slammed the western plains,
Mudslides hid hundreds of backyards.
Brutal sandstorm swept through arid plains,
Fierce hurricane aimed at the Keys,
Havoc descended on tornado lane,
Earth’s warming threatened baby seals.
Crops were at risk in fertile farm fields,
Crowds assembled for protest walks,
Northwest reached one hundred ten degrees,
Earthquakes possible near the fault.
Hospitals were overfull with the sick,
Medical teams were at wits end,
Some thought the nation’s flame left the wick,
Would never find its fire again.
People had the lowdown newscast blues,
Some feared apocalyptic end,
The anchors said it was breaking news,
And we looked for someone to blame.
Night rolls off the cliff and down the mountain
Taking darkness with it in the tumble overload
Falls into dawn on waters traffic waves undone
Crashing on catastrophes of rocks not broken
Then pushed out to sea surprised
By tidal forces tsunami wise
Right into the middle of wide openings
Bermuda Triangulated up in mysteries
At oceans mouth rolled up and out
There is nothing else perceived
Caught up with a tiny thing in the thick of things
Bobbing on the surface of the blue
A message in a bottle stating;
“Stay home you fools.” “It's always hot outside.”
“Coconuts on barren islands are free
but not all they are cracked up to be”
When night rolls off the cliff
Down the mountain to be drowned
Dawn's traffic signals nothing's happening
Nothing missing in the mist of hours light
On barren desert islands lost at sea
Too small and not worth mentioning
In the larger scheme of things
First loves are precious
The memories burn
The faces are there
Wherever you turn
The sweet memory
Of tasty first kiss
How moist the lips felt
How full of pure bliss
The mad beating heart
About to explode
Unable to cope…
With this overload
The look in the eyes
That can quickly melt
The caressing hand
Making passion felt
As sweet as all this
Can be to the soul
It is the last love
That can make one whole
The last love that speaks
Of tender regard
That will be there to aid
When the way gets hard
The last kiss of love
When life ebbs away
A promise to meet
On that blessed day
Last love is tender
It knows where it’s been
It has loved and loved
Through thick and through thin
Last love has reason
Not flighty but real
Based on decision
Not just what you feel
My first kiss burned you
My second was sweet
My last one, darling
Will be the best treat
First love is silver
The last one is gold
On tried and true love
My heart is now sold

“Hey, look there Jim” the young girl said
“What is this old gate up ahead?
Now do you think we should go through.
I’m really game if you will too.”
We’ll have to clear these sticks away
and find the latch - what’s that you say?
You don’t think we should touch the gate?
What lies beyond might not be great?
Oh, come on Jim, don’t be a wuss
Rid this Gossamer with one push.
Then once we’re through, we’ll walk the road
it’s just your mind in overload.’
And as they heaved the gate it fell
releasing then the Ghostly spell.
A spell held bound until the day
this gate was opened by its prey.
But these two children did not see
Grave danger, when innocently,
stepped through that Godforsaken gate
and with this action sealed their fate.
At first, they heard a Groaning sound
and swirling winds whipped all around,
Then both were lifted oh so high
and drawn so quickly through the sky.
And with a thud they were set down
Inside a castle, dark and brown.
Grief-stricken, cold, and full of fear,
“Jim, what has happened? now we’re here”.
A voice they heard a cackle low
the witch appeared to let them know,
they’d live with her forever more
not going back to life before.

“Your days will now be one of toil
you’ll cook and scrub, the cauldron boil.
Oh, how I’ve waited for this day
For foolish kids to come my way.”
The girl said “Jim I should have heard
the warning in your spoken word:
don’t touch that gate, just let it be
I wish I’d listened to your plea.”
A tear rolled down her cheek, then fell
upon the witch, and broke her spell,
for witches cannot deal with tears
if splashed with one, their spell will clear.
And with a woosh away they went
back to the place were quickly sent,
behind that gate upon the ground
They both stood up, and looked around.
“Where have we been? I can’t recall
but know that gate must never fall,
So quickly we must go away
I’ll not go through it; on this day.”
So, if you see a gate ahead
Be careful now before you tread.
Take care with life, and gates you fell
don’t end up in the witch’s spell.
