Ah... methinks I could sleep forever

Basking in a supine position
with eyes wide shut
while the space heater churns out
fast moving molecules of heat
solitudinarian drowsy thinker fêted
by miniature fantasy 
of tropical island paradise
accompanying and populating slumber
courtesy flickering,...

PERSONIFIED LIGHTED CANDLE:

Come on, I'm strong and edified.
No one can hold me in detention for getting them defied.
Compared to Cassius Clay; fiercely bonified.
A firmly personified lighted candle on a lampad. 
In the corners of every...

Strong suspicion a 2024 presidential win...

for the trumpeting don
spells loss for democracy
after inauguration day
witnesses his swearing-in
nepotism will run rampant
lawlessness the name of the game
of thrones breaking apart ramparts
of inalienable rightful
freedoms rent sunder, whereby nothin
can stop...

There are three sides that form every triangle
and not always are they of the same equal proportion.
There can also be three sides of many a story told,
and stitched with tenuous threads that loosely dangle.
Each strand...

Dapper Drac had a panic attack, and topping off the dread
His trendy boots clashed with his suit, plus his white shirt was stained red

Sure his hair was right, and dynamite, as seen in the mirror
Yet...

Nothing more than a pretty smile - repost

There she was chasing a rabbit 
with 1 am coffeecakes and weak tea
She didn’t notice I was watching
from the branches of an olive tree
A lone smile hidden amongst
swirling...

I never knew that Stonehenge refers to hanging gallows


While solstice gives solace as the sun dial moves forth

Many years of mysteries immortalized for sacred worship

	Blue Stones transported from Pembrokeshire

	For a giant Cromlech by magic or...

Standing reverent in a dull cast mist
glazing my cheeks while prayers were said
so silent stood at Rand's memorial
My mind dashed to the self-drawn sketch
he staged as "The Youthful Raconteur";
profile, pipe, wavy cinema legend hair -
his...

swirling smoke rings in a foreign accent

Pinocchio politicians
got long nose ambitions
Pirate patch parrot thoughts
in the bosom
keel dereliction decisions
Gender gypsy tramps bought,
paid horizontal submission
Whore whispers being said
Global security is premature burial 
on a bald eagle spread bed ... 
squirting liquid lies: moo...

in the shop with hardware and bits of wood
can make almost any man feel useful, good

a screwdriver, a drill, some papered sand
away from day-to-day, simply out of demand

just tinkering around with piddling things
the easy satisfaction...

Tara, Ben and Blackie,
Sam, Lucy and Jamie.
Our dogs down the years,
All gone now, shed many tears.

No more, no more we cried, in  despair,
A hole In the garden, our friends laid there.
A hole in our...

I was defeated in a battle 
fought in a place
Distant from where I was raised.
Defeat was certain 
yet hope had the piddling of existence.
Had raised my canons, draped in metal.
Yet the army was nowhere to...

"If only..." 

How often I've whispered those two piddling words. 
Quietly, like the fluttering wings of hummingbirds,
wishing I could rewind the clock to the time when
we were together, more then just your best friend.

Do you...

(Sing along to tune, "Simply the Best!")

Dan, i'm saying, my laugh's afire,
Dan, I voted for you, on the wires,
Dan, golfers are piddling in the rain!
They'll get Corona on their dicks again,
Dan, that's indecent exposure, the...

A little befuddled bride could be heard crying on the hillside.

She huddled near a very brittle tree.

Muddling over the belittlement of her groom to be.

She ruddled her hair with anger.

Her piddling wasn’t solving anything.

She straddled...

A buzz-saw wind
peppers a far horizon.
We hear the nails falling
from an impossible distance.

Damage will be done elsewhere;
instinct squeezes a grey glue
out of blind brains.
A razor-teethed storm
is coming.

We share this piddling dread
with puddle dancing sparrows,
they suspect,
we...

I/you
is/am/was
a soldier of 
fortuitous (mis)fortune

a quiet
puddle 
piddling in
southerly sloth

a gnarly ghost 
galloping in 
whirling ~ twirling ~ swirling
electronic sandstorms

!---)))>>>--->>>)))---!

adrift in tortured time
submerged in 
the timeless slime of 
gaslit dumpster fires

a hypersonic tsunami
of repetitive rage
revolting within...

Inner Peace
Miracle Man
February 3, 2022

A soft breeze
rustles through dry grass,
and we observe time
being whispered from life.

Breeze and time
both leave imprints of having been,
whether time was piddling, or rife.

Some days,
are like gate hinges in constant squeak
from...

Thought for Today
5-27-2016

While in this life we may never achieve greatness,
 But we were each born to be counted,
To make a difference in the life of another;

Don’t fritter away opportunities which present themselves,
But lay aside...
