On The Beach

'While stranded high and dry
unemployed skippers ate a lot of kippers'
which smacks of a red herring to me
is a tale told when we were but nippers
altho' with neither fowl nor feline
in a beautiful pea-green boat
the motley crew who put to sea
were assuredly safe and sound when afloat
but then as ocean water rose within
thereby a somewhat large hole revealing
the now woeful matelots felt dreadfully unhappy
as they smelt a strange yet serious sinking feeling
for sadly a rather bad leak had sprang in the bilge below
and their ship went down like the proverbial stone
so the jobless captains fared far better
as landlubbers secure ashore home on their own

Disoriented

Brainwashed to the core
Forgiveness is what I need 
Learned to love you more 

Disoriented
I dreamt of you so hopelessly...
Infatuated 

When I look at you,
I feel safe and sound for once 
You disappeared...blue...

Disoriented 
I seek shelter from the rain...
Drippin' insane...dread...

When I do touch you,
I feel like I'm relieved from...
Grief that takes over

Disoriented
Wanting you, beloved
Tucked worries in bed

I listen to songs
Contemplating you again
I told you my wrongs 

Disoriented
I fell so hard, friend of mine 
Hm, I did...repent 

Bleeding out regret
Say something I don't know, dear
Why are you upset?

Disoriented
I forget what we've talked of
Overexcited 

Glad to be with you 
Change is a challenging chore 
You speak critically 

Disoriented 
You are hot and I am cold
Took chill pill instead

Nervous to the max!
Feeling myself...chillaxin'
Just listen.......relax!

Disoriented
Losing track of time now
Feeling myself...dead x.x

Premium Member A Jolly Fisherman

A jolly fisherman came ashore
   in his old boat with just one oar.
He must have two to row back home;
   with only one, his boat would roam.

And with no fear, he sang out loud
   a song to which he danced and bowed-
a jolly song that asked the sea
   to bring his oar back- one, two, three!

He smiled and danced a jolly way
   and twirled and whirled in grand display-
when all at once, the waves splashed high! 
   He smiled and breathed a happy sigh!

For heading towards the sandy beach 
   his oar was almost within reach
brought in by dolphins, safe and sound-
   the fisherman's lost oar was found!

The dolphins love their jolly friend-
   and on their help, he can depend!

Premium Member A Token-Coin

When I started to date,                                                  a token-coin I was given.                                                I was told to hide it in my purse,                                      never but never spend it away.                                If you ever need to call home,                                        your token-coin will save the day.                                   I never needed that token-coin,                                       tucked away safe and sound.                                                It was always there,                                                           where it belonged.                                                          One day I cleaned out my purse,                                      I found that old token-coin.                                                 
As I began to rub it,                                                        all the years flashed by.                                                  I then realized all the love,                                              given in that token-coin to keep by my side.

Eyes of Jem Truly Love You

A-ll eyes of Jem truly love you, 
I-n the sincerity of her face; 
Y-ou shall now understand
E-verything's in proper place.
S-weet eyes of Jem truly love you, 
S-ee the glad sparkling glow; 
H-appiness is really brought, 
A-ccepting not the sorrow.

J-em's eyes truly love you, 
E-very second of the day; 
M-inutes and hours are spent to watch over your way.

A-s eyes of Jem truly love you, 
S-leep at night safe and sound; 
T-wenty-sixth September morn
R-ises you with much mirth around.
O-pen eyes of Jem truly love you, 
L-ight shines in the blue sky; 
A-fter the rain disappears, 
V-ile weather passes by.
I-n spite of the mist and haze that cause mess to your view; 
O-ne thrill you feel because eyes of Jem truly love you.

Walls of Doubt

through the years i have been trying 
to find a love that was not lying 
about the way he really felt 
with one touch he'd make me melt 
but my heart i shut down tight 
i would not let it take flight 
it was hurt too many times 
by too many lovers lies 
it was hard to trust again 
till i found you as my best friend 
my heart grew wings a little more 
you helped me open up the door 
and knocked down my walls of doubt 
letting all my love flow out 
into a world of tenderness 
that i feel with each kiss 
and warm embrace that i receive 
leading my heart to believe 
that love and laughter can be found 
in your arms so safe and sound

Premium Member HUMAN RUIN


Why does the doorbell ring
When I am going to sleep;
And why does the bank clerk call
When I’m eating my lunchtime bread?

I’ve structured my life for calm,
To be honest and to be free
Yet many around seem so intent
on continually disturbing me.

They park their cars
And trap me in
And cut their lawns to let the grass
Straight through my house blown in

They answer many a simple
And polite request
With hate disdain anger and disgust
They can’t do anything honest or simple
Without noise and chaos and meaningless fuss.

They light their streets with so much light
You cannot  see even a single star in the sky at night

They spend their days watching PC’s cell phones and TV’s
And read less than a single book each year it seems to me.

They can’t comprehend most things
Complex or in profundity
Most are meant to quickly be forgotten
Quickly in time by eternity

They dress like slobs
And eat like pigs
And speak without much grammar 
and with common vulgarity.

But we just have to tolerate
Their ignorance and sin
And find a way to not let any of it in.


I need a way to feel safe
And removed from all of this
I need a constant hug from God and a kiss.
Enfolded in a sacred light
Safe and sound
Both day and night

inside fantasies

good morning all
below is anther entry in honor of love and valentine's day

on a side not however
I have an aunt who my family and I are very close with
just before christmas she fell down a flight of stairs
she remains in the hospital
she has undergone a couple of surgeries
her therapy and recovery may take up a year

my point in all this is 
my message to you all today is be aware of your footing and balance
plan your move before taking a step
may this day find you all safe and sound
and yes
happy valentine's day to all special couples everywhere
thank you...

"inside fantasies"

roses
candies
kisses
embraces

love
desires
emotions
dances

alongside many roses and embraces
together with desires and emotions
kisses of love dance inside fantasies

Premium Member Giraffe Baby - Let Me Out

Your mom and dad, long in captivity
   may not recall the joys of being free.
They've learned to live their life so peacefully;
   fed and protected from adversity.

Away from Africa's hot, sultry days
   they must be penned indoors in heated bays
in zoos that share our climate's winter phase,
   to walk in circles and in feeders graze.

Yet, genes do carry nature's fine imprint;
   their baby within hours found the hint.
The smell of outdoor air and sunlight's glint
   led him to that closed door with every sprint.

As if he knew that freedom dwelled out there,
   he stood and smelled the gift of outdoor air.
Oh little one, though now it seems unfair,
   the door will open soon for you to share

that outdoor space, to romp and run on grass...
   but still enclosed by barriers en masse.
In time, your 'born-free memory' will pass 
   to join your parents in their captive class...

to live less free but, surely, safe and sound,
   ensuring that your species will abound.

Note: Reticulated Giraffes are an endangered species, and calves born in the wild only experience a 35% survival rate since they are hunted as prey. Many zoos are helping to make sure this doesn't happen by breeding in captivity, a very noble and positive cause, and Animal Adventure Park does an awesome job.

It just touched my heart to see the baby giraffe, within a few hours after birth, being so inquisitive and wanting to go beyond that door.
