CONVERSION

1
Everyday is a test, no rest, a contest, put up my best, I confess
Hardwired and tired, flawed with mud and mire, no liar but on fire
I will connect, will not fret but you can bet...

At the end of the world where the sea meets the sky,
there's a small strip of land where the mermaids lie.
Where they  chit and they chat, or play and have fun,
and top up their...

A story I needed to find  

My credentials were declined  

But it was Sunday, I did not mind

I rest perched atop my tree branch blind,
watching and waiting
for anything to unknowingly pass below
I got sleek, midnight skin ... 
distinct markings of a black panther
I got white eyes that glow in the dark,
my vision...

As a boy I walked the town, near knowing everyone
The Sun it shone all Summer long I revelled in the fun
With relatives and friends we'd play, 'til darkness sought us out
Then caring aunts would hunt...

The human race has earned its place upon this planet Earth
But think on this – one architect above us standing tall
Accomplished in a heartbeat...

 He Changed Me

 I'm hurt, I'm lonely, and of course I feel down.
You always turn everything I say inside-out and around.
I can’t sleep without hearing my heart pound and pound,
And you give me nightmares...

Hoping to have fun and stay afloat

Filled with all my grown blueberries with me
Thinking, in my travels how I...

The truth of the outside world arrives unbidden.

Life has been normal and strange, exciting and lame
Fought, begged, pleaded. Just to play the game

BLUE BELL PASSION

Pound, pound, pound!
my melting feet move 
a rhythmic sound
I feel, I feel, almost soothed.

My chocolate chip sweat drips
over me.  Almost done.
my butter pecan steps trip
to what I have won.

Another creamy day 
of...

Your lips...
Oh my goodness... can I...
Can I taste them?

Come here baby...
Sit me down on the bed...

I was six 
When safety died.
My father 
Home from war 
Would drink whiskey 
Straight from the bottle.  
Veins full of firewater, 
Filled and spilled, 
Fighting off his pain.
My mother locked the door 
To keep...

been awhile since I touched cold pavement.
Funny how the last thing I remember

You wait until I'm beaten down,
then ready aim:...

Some say goodness is everywhere in everyone,
but my vast travels haven't shown just one ton,
of ethics, morals or just plain fun.

Well I've been all around, 
and something true from town to town,
is evil is everywhere,...

There is talk of war. 
There is rumor and propaganda. 
There is concern and worry. 
No one wants to die. 
No one wants to die, 
for no reason at all.
