Knowing You Knowing Me

We've known each other for  a while now 
I think its fair to say 
I haven't met anyone like you 
not ever, not to this day
  
when our eyes really first met 
something inside me began to stir 
I was unsure what to make of it 
so I shrugged it off without a care 
 
weeks have passed by, our conversations keep flowing 
like raindrops from above, the topics have no warning.  
The more that we explore,  the greater my yearn 
to travel the footprints of thought 
that leave tracks across your mind. 
  
time flies fast, its almost a blur 
we've know each other over a year now 
and you have become a mama.  
I've never seen you so happy 
a miracle from above, I am sure.. 
I love how your eyes are smiling 
This is a picture I adore.

it was at this point, when I looked into your eyes 
that what bothered me before came back to life  
the stirring within came out of the blue 
it was then I realised it was fuelled by you. 
still unsure what it was within 
I just looked up and gave you a grin 
  
Its 2 in the morning,  I should be asleep 
each time I close my eyes, its you I see. 
For a second there is blackness,  and everything is sound 
then from nowhere,  your face is found  
  
My arms reach out, to hold you tight 
to hold you close throughout the night 
but like before,  you were not there 
so this again, I'm hugging air! 
  
Finally,  my brain gives up and sleeps 
but still you find me in my dreams 
but in my dreams your there with me 
so this is now the place to be. 
  
its time to wake up, I feel exhausted 
my brain feels fried, there was no off switch.  
All throughout the night, you and I danced away 
under the moonlight, with the stars on display 
upon cloud tops,  high in the sky 
where angels sit to watch you and I 
  
Sorrow was what it took, for me to realise 
what love was, and how it thrives 
where it starts, how it feels 
how it hurts,  but how it thrills.. 
  
I feel like I could fly, this stuff is better than Red Bull 
I've never been so high, the feeling is astronomical 
and to think the reason why,  I feel so invincible 
Is because I looked into your eyes 
and was touched by your soul.. 

  
I leave it to fate, to decide what will be, 
to see if theres a future for you and me. 
You are one of a kind, you are my friend.  
I've never met anyone like you.. 
I dont think I will again!

Guardian Angels

Goodnight my dear boy and what's that you say?
You want me to chase the bad monsters away?
Well, I'll tell you a tale that may just be true
And if it's made up, it is done just for you...

I know you're afraid of the dark and the gloom
When you lie wide awake all alone in your room
'Scardy cats prowl and their tattle-tales pester
Goose bumps may prickle and worry-warts fester

Shadow-ghosts creep up and crawl to your cover
You roll on your side but then you discover
The thump in your pillowcase whispers too loud
So here's what I've done and I know you'll be proud...

I've met with the monster man under your bed
He thinks you will find he is not much to dread
He just needs a friend and to know that you care
So if you reach down he'll shake hands from his lair

I've found where that boogie man hides in the wall
He's cramped and alone and he waits for your call
He believes you're convinced he is ugly and mean
And hold him to blame when you have a bad dream

Your monster man's fierce and has razor-sharp teeth
But he understands things that may stir underneath
Your boogie man knows what you don't want to find
And what's around corners and hidden behind...

They'd like to come out and tell you a story
(Perhaps something scary but nothing too gory)
Sit up and talk with them late into night
Come morning they'll gladly slip back out of sight

But at night they'll grow strong to protect like they should
To face down your fear and show evil what's good
Stand watch while you sleep, they will stay by their mark
If you wake you might catch their eyes glow in the dark...

It's then as you grow you may find you walk bolder
With two fearsome friends striding close by your shoulders
They'll go anyplace as a general rule
(But maybe you'd better not bring them to school)

If witches and dragons can streak through the sky
Then monsters and boogie men surely must fly!
At the edge of your sleep (when you just start to doze)
Whisper the password and wiggle your toes...

And they'll sweep you away to soar like a dove
Over the rooftops to heavens above!
Up into orbit to your own private place
High on a mountaintop floating in space

Sit back and relax with a satisfied grin
Laughing and singing as you watch the earth spin
Hum along while your boogie man growls a brave tune
Count stars while your monster man howls at the moon

Twilight's Raimants In Blues


                As two, hearts dance the embrace of a fire,
                 plucking your heartstings as a lyre
          Distrust, lies, eclipses love's satellite true- natal 
                loon, into a suicide hot air balloon ride! 
    Moves aside bend of light, chooses, 
          side, of a dark malignant side of moon !

   In the twilight hour blues, 
where passions softly stir,
emotions start to blur, turn sour,
painting pleasure in the night maw to devour two

In the depths of the night, a solitary light wound
casts a shadows upon the heart, 
where darkness slowly seeps through

With every stolen kiss, a crescendo of desire,
a symphony of emotions that sets souls afire
Strings of anticipation strum 
in rhythmic delight tuned to
caressing secrets, where fantasies abide, nude


Signs, who, hides moons of the truest kind! 
O a tale apart
Moves side winds, breath of the dark arts, 
to align into hearts maligned 

arms folded in death to make with 
as a stolen kiss ignites a flame,
like a symphony, our hearts fall prey to again 
be betwixt in the game

With every stolen kiss, a crescendo of desires, 
hollows,
a symphony of emotions that sets 
souls adrift from the shallows
In passions dance in the shadows, 
at Night, where secrets cannot hide their gallows 
from the ghouls that preside in it's marrow

In a tale ripped apart...
every 'plete of your heart 
Strings of anticipation strum in 
rhythmic delight tune 
turns to the knife of sacrificial rite

In the twilight raimant so blue, where passions fly,
the jolly roger of motley fools,
selling the fine line
sailing the live mines

Embracing the darkness' essence, 
a tale yet for reason
harmonies of ecstasy reaching 
a breathtaking peak of reasoning


Oh, the cadence of desire, intoxicating and divine,
as crescendos rise and fall, our spirits intertwine
a symphony of emotions, wild and misconstrued,
leaving souls aflame, forever marked, 
for death do you sever
apart partaking your
passions dance in the shadows, 
at Night, where secrets cannot hide to
desires lever toggle with every touch, new,
every sight of slight or bruise

Urban decay of a dream, 
dream theater of a tragedy 
playing looped scene

In the Twilight raimant so blue
With every beat of your heart
Moves side winds, choose, sides, 
with a dark maligned tune

Gonifs and gossips revisited

Gonifs and gossips revisited

since originally being crafted
approximately half dozen
dirty deeds done dirt cheap years ago...

Abound and lurk
within every nook and cranny
analogous to some annoying pest
harmless though one reside here,
when off his meds goes berserk
here at Highland Manor Apartments.

They snatch and snitch packages -
meant for other than themselves -
think Grinch who stole Christmas
plus snoop, i.e. eavesdrop
big Dumbo ears as listening devices
(batteries not required)
or serve as rumor mongers
to don self importance
and trumpet "FAKE NEWS."

We (yours truly and his misses)
dwelled at aforementioned residence
July first 2025 will be eight years,
and no sooner did both of us set foot
on premises than hearsay
immediately promulgated
(metaphorically swirled about our heads),
and passed like greased lightning
thru the robust grapevine
purportedly wife of mine
brought in live snakes.

Oddly and interestingly enough though,
I never actually never heard nor saw
a fellow resident
talk (or whisper in hushed tones)
about me outright.

Rather than badmouth other feisty folks,
which leaves unpleasant virtual
aftertaste described as phooey zook,
thus comeuppance to reprobate recipients
I activate viz cluck
king silly reasonable rhyme,
(so keeps head up
for urbane adverse city slicker
you better watch out

(...better not shout...) just duck
and run for cover cuz poet took
effluvia enroute spouted by word huck
stir, he avoids naming
(chatterboxes whose lives
so devoid of meaning,
they figuratively kickstart tittle-tattle),
who vocally ramp up 
some juicy tidbit with any luck

taking page from former president playbook
letting their lips uncontrollably run a-muck
totally oblivious to credibility factor being a schmuck
buzzfeed initial kernel of truth and truck
outrageous zingers suitable for National Enquirer,
tragicomical, cuz mistruths
courtesy tenants exhibit chutzpah to pluck
farfetched outright lies and innuendos

rolling of tongues of then occupants such as:
"Bible Thumper/Holy Roller,"
"Bingo/ Phat Cathy,""Crooked Old Man,"
"Curvy Girl/Thunder Thighs," "Frumpty Dumpty
"Mush/Smash Mouth, "Snaggletooth,"
"The Bodyguard," "The Fossil," "The Schvartze,"
"Winkle," and last but not leased "Zha Zha”.

Give me fruit flies, mice
and/or roaches any day,
or give me death!

Support me always in my quest to savor Your of heavenly taste.

January 24th, 2023 Hair Washing Heralds Huge Happening

January 24th, 2023 Hair washing heralds huge happening

Hark….the herald angels sing, and twitter 
for mass communication 
mediums stop the presses 
when I, a regular schlemiel 
take shampoo to mine matted mass mop 
(no less than once a week)
of straggly follicles, and commence 
to dispense with the heady eco system 
viz rare crop of flora and fauna 
(some rank as endangered species) 

rub and band together 
to scratch envy of  
flaky key neigh bring ponytails 
and create quite an niche, 
and where also can be found
lousy knit wit vendors ready to scalp 
and give shaft to razor sharp purveyors, 
who mane lee scout out available 
head and shoulder room to nap 

without a stir, tub bed down 
(praying  Holy Scott no wash out 
nor Harris mint occurs), 
or burrow vis a vis, 
where subcutaneous porous droplet size 
watership down pieces 
of prime residence found 
counting one mister comb lee 
bald bold faced realtor 

amidst competing rival 
bulb buss Edward scissorhands
(with knot to heavy a price toupee) 
affianced to rapunzel, 
whom he sheared split ends 
as her barber of civil, 
one dapper dander ruff dude to offer 
lice cent shuss insects a tonsured 
cut above other stylish habitués 

preferring to fraternize, 
glad-hand, and hobnob 
amidst a cluster of big wigs 
housed by yours truly - Samson
in gleaming puffy pompadour 
pads tightly secured 
with the best dreadlocks, 
which harum-scarum 
green barrettes serve 

as first line of rinse able defense 
IdentityGuard (with franchisee 
Bob O Link averse to split hairs, but fierce 
as a Mohawk and ring leader 
to protect any curl of mine) 
waving away intruders, 
who if insist tubby persistent 
and tangle with fate 
cannot expect camaraderie 

from buzz cutting crew i.e. the fuzz 
to give expletive filled lathering, 
severe shame poo wing subjugation 
plus an up braiding experience), 
and teach stragglers 
they will suffer 
a real perm in hint bang up job 
if they brazenly brush 
against brylcreem of the crop 
rooted as rightful heirs 
(hairs) of tousled doo mane,
thus concludes my tail. 

Postscript: Yours truly
an aging long haired
seventh generation pencil neck geek
finds ultra joy when 
volunteering for kitchen duty,
hence imagine the hypothetical picture
portraying Geico caveman 
mimicking pseudo dawn of humanity.

Venezuela Angel Part 2

II.
I dedicate this to my future wife 
In life we meet people when we least expect it, whether it be for a season or for more. Can it be love or lust? The answer is not known until both are placed into a situation to where they use their instinct to build the relationship. It is more confusing and takes work. Both parties will see the value in one another. When I first saw you, I did not know how to respond. You were wearing glasses and a neutral clam smile on your lips. Your buns were of modest size and your legs were nice in stance. Yes, I did fall in love with your body first. Later on, I would see more to you as you would be calm even when you were confused or focusing intently on your job. You did not speak; however, your words were in emotions and actions. Oh, how I wish I could kiss those emotions as they made me feel a warmth that no American girl could make me feel. I could not hear your words as I could only speak two languages; however, your language is of a different Latin branch. Still the kindness you showed to me was different. I never had a woman from a Latin country open the door for me, even when I had a cart on me. Your eyes are full of peace and joy. You have traveled far from a place that you loved; however, the tension going on down there has led you to come here. You mostly if not all speak Spanish. My one request is that we can speak more for I fancy the thought of learning about your life. Let the barrier break between us as I feel this magnetic surge towards you. You are a young woman that deserves to be happy, I only Hope that the person deserves your Heart for it is pure. If it is I, then I promise to make you smile and happy. All we can do is try. Does love to start blind or does it develop blindly. If we are the soulmates needing of one another then I ask God through my words for it to be so. Let my words through this prose shine as a beacon of light. May I say that I love your presence, and that I am beginning to love you. Every time you are near me, I linger longer and tend to take a longer glance at your presence. I feel a stir inside me to want to make you a wife and not just a coworker. I ask God if he could help us learn each other’s languages. Would it be great that if in two years we could say our vows in different languages. You are my Angel from Venezuela. Here’s a kiss to end the current night.

Premium Member A Christmas Gift Rev 12-2024

“A Christmas Gift”
				By: P. G. Borgia
				              For JP

1	              
An evening of peace, city streets still,
Snowflakes settle upon your windowsill.
Snuggled in your rocker, pleased to see
A day’s work of love, trimming your tree.

2
Fragrance of pine and lights pulsing bright, 
Shining stars lighting a joyful night,
Red stockings hung with hidden treasure,
Toys piled high for a child’s pleasure.

3
Raising your glass to warm, glowing embers:
“Here’s to Santa—he always remembers.” 
Your work complete, you begin to doze,
Grinning at the thought, teary eyes gently close.

4
With silence deep and wavering thoughts
Of times in your life happiness brought,
You hear again that soft solemn voice—
Quiet emotion—dry cheeks now moist.

5
You stir with unease, deep in a maze,
Though mercy is brief in slumber’s daze.
You drift into dreams of yesterday’s glee,
Seeking—a child’s voice, sadness-free.

6
Less than a wink, awakened by a tug,
Your child excited, giving you a hug:
“Look, look! Santa was here;    
Presents and toys everywhere.”

7
“Can we open them now? Can we please?” 
“If I get one more hug,” you playfully tease.
Another big hug — a sweet bribe for sure —
Moving hand-in-hand to gifts on the floor.

8
With a smiling peek at your child’s wide eyes,
Each present opened, another surprise.
Praising your Creator for what you are seeing,
A sense of warmth envelopes your being.

9
Gift wrap and ribbons scattered everywhere,
You quietly return to your rocking chair. 
Your child stops playing, gazing up at you:
“Did Santa bring you a Christmas gift too?”

10
Drawing a smile with gleaming pride,
Your little angel moves to your side. 
Searching your thoughts, as your lips quiver —
Moments of silence, memories flutter.

11
“Once upon a time, not so far away,
Santa brought presents on his reindeer sleigh.
One special gift was a stocking of cheer,
When gently I peeked, my eyes did tear.”

12
“For inside there you were, my beautiful babe,
A silent night of joy, pure love we gave.
And now, in my arms my gift softly sleeps,
Dreaming a child’s dream, in stillness deep.”
 

  “To you, to us, and to those we've loved—
	      	forever in our hearts. 
A BLESSED MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.”

Round One

my arms wrapped around you 

warm to the touch 

only on thing on my mind 

i love you so much 

my hand connects with yours 

my arms wrapped around yo 

draw you in closer 

soft and smooth to the touch 

as we lay there 

theres no moment in time that has meant so much 

your body seems to mix with mine 

quickly churning all the feelings i have inside 

my hands caress your body 

you stir, open you eyes with your sexy smile 

sunlight streaks across your face 

giving you that look of even higher grace 

rubbing your back at such a slow pace 

giving you time to recooperate 

time to breathe 

time to wake 

i knew this was no mistake 

all the feelings i feel are real 

teasing me with a passion 

all is said and done- for now 

our love will never end 

not now, nor then 

later tonight 

the same will occur 

i'll walk through the door 

being making dinner 

take a shower 

wait till you arrive 

take your coat off your shoulders 

take off the weight that feels like boulders 

kiss you hello 

you know, nice and slow? 

reach for your hand 

lead you to dinner 

a meal of such delight 

already thinking to yourself, "i'll sleep well tonight" 

i wash the dishes 

you take your shower 

we'll meet in the bedroom 

and kiss the night away 

let me caress your body 

tell me all about your day 

slip out of your clothes 

kiss you all over from head to toe 

slide under the covers 

bodies mixing 

bending and twisting 

let our acts of love bellow through the air 

the night goes on 

but alas 

theres so much to be done 

smooth and creamy 

sweet and filling 

our movements slow down 

catching our breath 

our hunger way beyond being met 

you unwind 

i pull you closer 

deeper and deeper until slumber is met 

sighing contently 

i kiss your forhead 

you stir and steal my thought 

i love you 

both steamy and hott 

kissing you gently 

saying it back 

you close your eyes for the night 

rocking you slowly back and forth 

my love 

my heart 

my soul 

no greater truth be told 

i begin to drift away into sleep 

our dog curling up on our bed by our feet 

another day is done 

another night well spent 

but alas this is not the end 

just the end of round one.

Tread of life
      a strand of hair
           disassociation
desolation    devastation     
floribunda      flapdoodle
                   constantly hearing 
Voices... 
             whispering 
                    screaming,
spread their

                               fly
                         in  velveteen 
                              sky

Constantly...
                     berating, 
                         damaging 
                              disparaging
mentally...

unseen torment 
                 pretending
                        drowning in 
                              unfillable      chasm
Trauma... 
           suppressing 
                        swallowing 
existence
                   dripping with shadows...

When casting spells 
             seeking peace 
                           amid war
                                turn off TVs 
            keep radios hushed
                             lure of 
                       loathy 
                 illusion

draped in earthy 
                   petrichor shade
splendidly 
               sculpted from 
                                   stardust
bereft of insignia or emblem...

Opus headline
           in magnetic bowl
                          shredded
                  with a spark
burned in full 
anoint ash 
          on forehead 
                                  As Peace Symbol

Then
    with a broken gun 
                on windowsill
                             east-facing muzzle 
           align seven shots
heart-shaped trigger guard
                shadows shouldn't touch

Then

stir three dove wings 
                            into hot milk
must be flawless
           add three plastic 
                  army men 
                          whirlwind
                                       madness
let it cool down &
stir with 
              olive branch

Dump sharp knife out
             sun-facing blade
                      back spell your name 
                                  five times
                      then step inside &
                                   close the door
etched in 
          immortal art 
                      of humanity.
