No Longer Superman

Helped my son move into college
Just the other day
It was then that I had realized
What took my breath away

No longer was I his hero
I've become more of a friend
I wont lie I still miss the days
When he reached to hold my hand

And with a tear in my eye it hit me then.......
I'm no longer superman

Though he looks up to me
It's not into my eyes
He's much taller than me now
It's more a sense of pride

He knows that I love him
And now I'm his biggest fan
It hurts to know it's time to let go
I'm no longer superman

A few years later Jr came home
With some news that changed our lives
His wife was due in 8 months
He said he needed some advice

I said son you wont need a Cape
Or drive a fancy car
Just be there for your kid 
To help mend their broken heart

Enjoy it all for what it's worth
For as long as you can
Cause one day soon you'll get the news
Your no longer superman 

They'll look up to you 
But it wont be for your eyes
Just make sure their hearts 
Are filled with a sense of pride

Make sure they know you love them
And that you're their biggest fan
It'll hurt I know, when the truth unfolds
That you're no longer superman

Every hero sees his day
You just hope to pass the torch
The course of life gets crazy
I told him on the porch

Son I dont have too long
And as he reached to take my hand
He said dad you know you'll always be
My superman

With a tear in his eye his son realized
He's no longer superman

Superman Aborted

How bird-like a new fetus is,
like a chick in an egg,
the delicate spine curved,
all the fine bones promissory wish-bones
tucked into s floating nest.

Unseen embryonic pathways 
are not yet cleared, diverse divisions
are still dividing. Genetics uncertain 
for an interval, a pause.

In the blood bound sac
a reptilian blastula 
breaks through to be human,
a primordial development
reenacted as a timeless secret.

As a young child
I really thought I was Superman.
I would jump off ever higher elevations
arms outstretched
until at last I broke my legs.
Reality was my kryptonite.
Yet like a fledgling
I was just readying myself for flight.

My mothers womb was closed tight
within it still the residue of  broken wings;
they would have to be expelled
before I could be forever grounded.

Songbirds now come to my bird table.
I listen to their chipping beaks as they 
crack seeds.
None stay long for fear of the circling hawks,
yet they sing on the wing,

to me, they seem to warble triumphantly
of eggs hatched and eggs
unhatched.

Premium Member Government In The Sky With Diamonds

Picture yourself in your state, as a giver 
Seeing some of your green, saying- "good-bye" 
The government calls- you answer quite slowly 
Tax collectors coming, must tighten your tie 

Insane powers that take all your green 
Take till the time you are dead 
They take from some people; without any care 
And their gone 

Government in the sky with diamonds 
Government in the sky with diamonds 
Government in the sky with diamonds...blah 

They hunt you down to fill up their fountains 
Where blue collar workers pull up their flies 
Everyone knows that they're all taking showers 
Like everyone knows that Superman flies 

We keep paying taxes more and more 
They're waiting to take it away 
They reach in your pockets as deep as they can
And it's gone 

Government in the sky with diamonds 
Government in the sky with diamonds 
Government in the sky with diamonds...blah 

Picture yourself without paying taxes 
You'd have a lot more money to- "buy" 
Politician promiser's run for election 
But the taxman is coming, must tighten your tie 

Government in the sky with diamonds 
Government in the sky with diamonds 
Government in the sky with diamonds...blah

Elusive Pursuit Endeavoring To Craft a Great Poem

I confess, no deliberate intent, yet often wonder
what spurs me to nudge, goad, coax, et cetera
despite modesty regarding
ably linkedin words for others to ponder
more often than not experiencing nonresponder.

Without lofty literary ambitions,
more so stream of consciousness abandonment
yours truly rests content
to cobble, gamble, noodle... courtesy

swifty tailored stylishly harried element
mild mannered modest gent
bumbling along boulevard of
broken (po' whet) dreams intent
far less superman than Clark Kent

exercising mental cogs and wheels meant
merely to liberate momentary overconfident
zealous spontaneous inspiration,
albeit ordinarily quiescent
ex post facto concluding

equals time most salient
direct object lesson learned
lame, insipid, feeble resultant
effort generates undercurrent
aghast how rapid (think lightspeed) went.

Yours truly his own worst critic aware
how avast mein kampf replete with bare
inducent to tap into latent fledgling clear
propensity to express creatively, I declare
bonafide potential to join pantheon excelsior
reserved for established authors within their
respective canon, genre, league...,

nonetheless an obvious flair
seemed evident perhaps coalesced
when in utero biological gear
yielded wiggly, ugly, scrawny,
quirky Harris heir
(sole son and second of three offspring)
an older and younger sister,
which introverted brother bullies

did constantly jeer
token scapegoat suffered
one after another kingly leer
pushing psychological state near
precipice off into dock side of moon,
who sought (wharf far art grim reaper) to pier
without naked qualm evincing
one very bony rear

without sympathy merely spells severely
pockmarked psyche therefore
impossible mission to set tattered self esteem
tacked toward in opposite direct where
dark shadow of doubt doth not veer
me into apathetic, horrific, pathetic...
suicidal mental state of yesteryear.


I Bought A

Her glare seemed to covey her
feelings. She is uninterested or
need a script to be remotlyly
kind to him as freind.
He wished her to be more kind as
his and her's research together
could revolutionize the medical world.
What within reason finds us together
he said. She asked was he coming on
to her in a gentle voice, he anwsered no
do you want me too? Awning she awnsered
if our working together
means being kind to one another
I will be kind. If success means us be
exclusive wwith one another
maybe we should start dating
I just want to know the conditions
of our togetherness.
Alligator and Ostriches are the most
popular animals and both our research
is centered around danger. We'll need
 to learn to trust one another
were we to be partners.
He told her he had put years into
research and losing it all to some
sorta
dating scam wasn't what he was looking
for. Deal she replied right anwser.
We are dating, and are exclusive.
I don't want anything to compromise my work,
and possibly our future works together,
 deal! she told him. I guess were dating: yeah sorta
I guess so!

When Pigs Fly

Starting from scratch, can we imply
Was there a time when pigs could fly?
There's Mary Poppins, Peter Pan
the Flying Nun and Superman.

Starting off in different ways,
all of these flew without delays.
But tales of Wilbur and Arnold,
Porky or Piglet, none were told

from the vantage point of flying.
Imagine that you were lying,
telling stories that were untrue
about a Pegasus that flew.

Scratch that horse and make it a pig,
a Pigasus with wings so big
he'd fly straight to Pinocchio
whose tales could make a playroom glow.

This Pigasus sets up a test
to see whose ballyhoos are best.
When pigs fly you've unlocked the latch -
stretching the truth, starting from scratch.

Premium Member Mister Amazing Has Cape Issues

I need to remember who originally owned my superman cape.
Do you realize it's not all just a dream?
Do you know what I mean now by patterns?
They were, now, and will be
Forever present and pliant around you.
So can you tell me where the cape might be?
With it I could do amazing things.
Without it I'm missing the cape. And nothing amazing has occurred.

I can tell by the way I feel, they wish I had the cape on.

I can't find the cape.  I don't remember if I have the cape on or not.
I hate the cape. Because I think I need it.

Though I know the cape would rather be me in a heartbeat.
Since I'm real and I have a heartbeat.
That is, if a cape could ever want something.

Up in the morning sky,                                                                                                                                                             I see nothing flying by.

Clouds are forming above the land.                                                                                                                                                     There's neither bird, plane, nor superman.

But there's an artist painting unceasingly,                                                                                                             making our world beautiful for all to see.

It's another presentation of a beautiful morning.                                                                                                                            As the darkness fades, I see high resolutions of art,

crafted and painted by the hand of God.                                                                                                                                It looks like a massive fire rising in the east,

destined to give birth to a bright and sunny day.                                                                                                           As long as I can remember, it has always been that way.

Chaos and storms would come and stay, but God says, "Nay".                                                                                      Dawn had graced the stage with cheerful light for several hours. 

Now Dusk follows with the promise of quiet, calm, and rest.                                                                                            Just over the western horizon I never detest, because I am                                                                          

mesmerized by the glorious and sweet tones of blue, red, yellow, and grey,                                                                                     merrily waving goodbye to me and whispering hello to the stars of night.
