Connoisseur Of Ethnic Cuisine
Theme seems apropos during Holiday FancyFeasts despite the plethora of – in my opinion witching hunting - reputable male personalities suddenly accused of sexual harassment after substantial time. Yes granted so the unexpected name dropping felt like a bomb shell towards chaps, this baby boomer mwm would never suspect, point the finger, or accuse, especially one former Norwegian bachelor farmer from Lake Woebegone.

Though anonymous and hardly
a substantially sized mwm baby boomer
(which dual disadvantages partly explains
lack of ubiquity among claque of cooks, yet hoop full
to get attention from some well fed dame
many popular rotund gourmands l'chaim tame
their hungry beast – wa hood put me to shame
vis a vis consuming in their one meal,
what yours truly eats in a lifetime,
none of those celery buddies,
whom this non television watcher can name
seen on any selective cable channel,
I still revel in writing while
on the hunt
(during Red October) for a meme
poetry and prose, and decided
to introduce myself quite lame
with NON GMO marginal uptick
in any sudden fortune or fame,
yet t'would be pleasantly syrup prized
if interest
from potential mistress didst exclaim
desire to enjoy a repast, though
said hypothetical gal need
not be a high society dame,
and if perchance such just desserts
came via the kitchen maiden kitty,
versus kit chin middens
no boastful claim
would be uttered by me,
her intellectual company satisfactory aim.
California, California, oh pretty, sunny California
Well, farewell for now till I leave far too sunny Arizona
Boredom kingdom overruled me substantially,
So I talked my sister's ears off automatically
Bloodstream tainted with filth of what-I’ve-done
Forgiveness within is on the run in deserty nature fun
Beyond the highway in the vehicle-made shade and eager-fervor sun
Here I come, family and fun and/or work to be done, I call shot-gun and won!
I’m good, I’m good, good grief – are you? For real???
I knew you needed relief from the brief-grief you feel
No biggie much when stress and anxiety comes our merry way
Because all night and day shall be as bright as marvelous May
My mind is the opposite of noisy, annoying traffic surprisingly
Chatting back and forth with my super spectacular sister in her cocoa-colored car regretlessly
Now, I am in the future in Arizona thankfully!!!! Finally here with family!
I said “London Bridge, here I go!” and arrived in Lake Havasu, instead, in glee..
Boy, what a long, but OK roadtrip... (naw)
Now, Where’s a lake of beautiful blue (as we fuss due to the heat)
Where I can take a refreshing dip? (yeah!)
Oh! It is next to us, what a treat (for my sake and ours too, whoohoo!)
No worries, we are fine, don't trip! (hah)
I'm not a shapeshifter or a drifter searching for a home,
one who's weary of roaming like a song on the wind
that no ears can hear except for mine alone.
I'm not a gypsy cursed by a binding spell, but worse,
one who seems not able to move as time passes by.
I'm in a realm of consciousness, spiritually tethered to life,
but filled with a sense of being alone and disconnected.
I feel somewhat rejected from others of the same ilk,
unable to emerge from a maze where each turn ends in strife,
or wrapped in the webbing of spider spun silk.
There is no suffering in this place, this space where I exist.
I hesitate to call it a journey, perhaps it's understood best
if I describe it as a relocation or a transient quest.
Did some twist of fate lead me through a dark tunnel
where there's an illuminated path waiting for me to take?
It's blurred, but I have the vision that it's not a prison,
but I'm sitting in Zen position, inside an opaque shell,
immersed in perceptual thoughts, where sapience starts.
At once I understood that my life is interwoven with others.
That shell, like a balloon, burst and I was awed in oneness
with the Earth, awakened as though I'd just discovered
a universe where spiritual acceptance hovers like clouds.
I recovered my cognitive faculties... what will be, will be.
Not the que sera, sera kind found in lyrical song.
One that everyone hears, a harmonic symphony of souls.
Much clearer now, there are sights and sounds,
a different kind of oneness that left me vacuous as before.
This one is substantially more essential. It's more real,
for I feel a certain kind of camaraderie, an urgent zeal
that appeals to me to belong, to be one with something
that lies over the threshold of an opened door.

I was in my sins being seemingly without hope and saving
But God the Father granted me His son Jesus endless mercies grace
Now I am clean completely copiously more or less

" I BEEN WORKING ON ME ME MR. JAMES "
Wish I could completely forgive you...
Substantially forgive you...
Simply forget everything and start anew
Wish I had more chances to show you my worth
Give me more chances to apologize
I want to live merrily with mirth
With you around me at all times
It's like you won't listen to me anymore
It murders me softly to the fallen core
I want these shattered, scattered memories
Together again...then again,
You left me with shards of naught
I gave our love a boost of my beloved shot
I wander in the woods of wretched, wrecked-up rage
You'll understood where I stood soon enough, babe
I ponder time after time in utter dread, in utter dread
There are solemn, sacred sanctuaries in my forever-lost head
Actually, you set me free from my horrid bondage
I've been told that you grew way too smart and bold
You are but debris and dust from above the bridge
You put my many messages on hold and forgot about them all...
I can't just forgive you right away
Wish I was gone away sometimes
Wish you'd weep me a dazillion dimes
You totally, wholeheartedly and cruelly
Broke apart my heart oh so extravagantly
Sorrow is so scrumptious, yet decreases my appetite for positivity
It was all my fault - yes, you bet believe it...
For following my faithless, hopeless occult
I'm like the headless horsemen without his rapid, abyssal horse
You had me trampled down and burned away my freedom flight with your gravity-like envy...
Everything went out of course...
Of course
Once and for all,
I will rise above it all
I will walk hope's helpful hall
I shall be wise in His eyes
I ought to seek the truth instead of embracing lies
I remember those times when you left without any goodbyes
It wasn't too long ago
And it really hurts me so
Below,
I fall
Below,
I call
Can you hear me?
Can you heal me?
Why do I want you so much?
Why do I crave your touch?
I am fragile, yet fearless
You left my heart
On your windowsill
Like rotting roses in the heat of distress
Raise me up,
Childlike happiness from afar
I will smile and graze a million miles in your maze
I rode my bike a tad too far
I will find my way home - I have my clever ways
What prepares your usurpations?
One more juncture of this person.
An individual who is rising
Misery is not too far off.
Shaking?
No odds, elderly friend.
You withdrew quite a while in the past.
Going in reverse on the scar.
Draining from the spine to the front!
I'm wearied of my own self.
And substantially slain from despair.
I was effectively let down.
And concede my responsibility.
As yet, I befall a cruel pundit of myself.
Signally on this spot, I am at long last.
Despite the injuries
I gain the height of a lance!
What were your suspicions?
Face in hassle.
In his authentic demeanor.
Something is devouring inside of me.
Otherwise, I have no chance of diverting it off.

I felt jealousy tonight with my might -
Where have my love been?
I have my hours when I get excited and then so low...
But, I'm not a coward, but oh so bold
I'm sorry for my episodes...
I lost my mind's trillion trains
I am a lonely lake with a single toad
I have my moments when I feel like I'm going to explode...
Overwhelmed by a million roads
I am walking the narrow road -
Forgiveness is in my veins
I inflict the hurt on others alright - wish I could feel happy again
I'm hurting myself emotionally
In the end, I want to be set free
The hardships get so hard to cope with
I just need someone near my side
Our love affairs, unfortunately, are not a myth
I'm worried I am painting tragedy in my life
You stabbed me with rejection and inner strife
I am lost in lust fantasies
I fantasize, nearly at ease
I am a captain in this ship
Of renewal and friendship
I am the king of my fantastic fate
I will wait
I can't wait
Till I become who I want to be
Jealousy made me mad
Envy makes me so sad
I'm smiling - now I'm glad
I love myself in my skin
I know, Lord, I've been bad
I feel paper thin from within
Resentment disappeared
Cheer and joy just appeared
Vanish away vulgarity and cursing
The music in mind is rehearsing
I dislike the fact that you made me like this,
Satanic sadness and discomforting distress
I will listen to God when His time ticks my direction
I will glisten and He heard my prayers of affection
I hate you,
Jealousy...that lasted not too long...I want to belong
Haven't a clue
Who I've become, honey, stuck in the wretched wrong
Lord, have I passed Your test?
Jealousy is what I really detest
I feel you in the depths of my heart
Until you kissed him and I fell apart
Jealousy slithers in me substantially
I had a good night actually - I know I look pathetic
Until negativity took a hold of me
Okay, I'm sorry for my ridiculous jealousy - godly forgiveness is epic
lids black out and allow me to write
while eyes shut tight
bring back four legged friends sprite
and though many years passed quite
I can remember those precious creatures
who barked at night
howling at inaudible sound or invisible light
casting silhouettes that fight
punctured the air with verbal byte
and now I list long gone
smart pets in alphabetical order – alright?
Baron – substantially German Sheppard
met his demise chasing a car on level road
the advantage overtaken
per vehicle with greater lode
which accidental death
found him buried in an unmarked grave
i.e. underground abode.
Georgie – a combination Boxer and Dalmatian
(with his cropped tail to boot
grew up as my canine brother
an essentially gave up the ghost
from organ failure of one or another.
Lady – this fur certain white German Sheppard
uncertain how, when or what
led to her body to collapse
perhaps while listening to snoop doggy dog raps
found on base near first stair
when rigor mortis set deathly traps.
Ruff – he and his litter mate Teddy
(listed below), an alpha beast o man’s and
woman’s best friend with moments of rage
as applicable to a dog, and seemed
to evince an intelligence like a sage.
Schultz – he apparently vanished in thin air
without a trace, not e’en
a filament of fur like hair
hopefully taken in by another pet lover,
but who knows where.
Shadow – pride of eldest sister,
he succumbed after becoming thermally ill
though diminutive for a black lab,
his absence left a void quite large to fill.
Socrates - dealt with harsh mistreatment
and distemper than tossed out
like trash, mine to sisters,
who nursed him with tender loving care
from his faux paws to a keen snout
which maintained his longevity no doubt.
Teddy – another throw away pet
found at Jacobsburg –
near Easton, Pennsylvania.
one lame leg (damaged
during his puppy hood)
lived til olde age.
my younger sister ( Shari)
brought him and Ruff home,
where their entire life he did stay
inherently evincing intelligence
that happiness found that chance
provided a doting owner this way.
