Lying dormant on the desk
objects inanimate
Each with a story it could tell
some quite intimate...
The key that opens the front door
ten thousand times or more
Trusted tool of man and wife
witness to domestic strife
A pen that writes without a hitch
of affairs and fantasies
Should it resort to crude blackmail
O, Lord, the casualties
A paperweight that holds down bills
due some time ago
Pick it up and hear the groans
down in the stack below...
These objects with their poker faces
conceal lean times, dark places
Pick one up, lend an ear
juicy tales and tidbits you may hear
Three o’clock and Grandpa Cat Chef King
Has snagged Samantha and brought her to the ring
She is in training to win dessert eating contest at the fair.
Grandpa Cat Chef has laden the table with fancies here and there.
Surrounded by flowers and plants, maybe hiding a bird or a mouse.
Samantha is sitting at a table with fourteen dishes in his green house.
Grandpa Cat Chef King is squinting his eyes, urging her on.
Pancakes, scones, cookies, pink brownies, desserts from here to beyond.
Blueberries, strawberries, fancy garnishes and sweet tidbits galore.
Grandpa has outdone himself, She will be here ‘til four.
Oh, no, he says, you have to eat it all, I bet it will take you ‘til nine.
She starts out eating in a petite way, but is soon an assembly line.
Shoving in cream puffs and apple fritters, six cinnamon rolls.
She feels ugly and puffy, like one of those fat garden trolls.
Grandpa Cat Chef King offers her a tiny bit of cat nip special tea.
She does not dare move, for she has been hiding food where he can’t see.
She satisfies the chef, before the double heart clock strikes ten.
Come back tomorrow, he says. We have to do it again!
She rolls herself from the table, and onto the path, black.
Determining to never ever ever come back.

“And so it is, that both the Devil and the angelic Spirit present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice. There is an invisible strength within us; when it recognizes two opposing objects of desire, it grows stronger” ~~ Rumi~~
Though I will not bow to temptation
Will I vow to stay strong ?
Can I resist the devil’s vexation.
For ever so long?
Such niceties on offer I see.
Can I now resist?
These titillating tidbits please me.
How can I desist?
Is there goodness within my soul ?
Do I see the ere of my ways?
Will I keep God’s commandments whole,
And reject Satan’s displays?
Does the fight betwixt these two,
Make me stronger to defeat evil’s winning,
And so to reject all sinning?
I feel the surge of power as I feel my need.
To resist the demon enticing me.
The devil is pulling me and must be stymied.
Following God’s word, it is true purity.
Inside there is a burning fire.
I have the strength to accept or reject it all at will.
I now can pull back from desire.
Even stronger I have become and will be still.
my makeup was fabulously light green, lips ruby red
I fit in well with the theme, witches, warlocks and the undead
the blue I had sprayed in my hair glittered like starlight
when we entered the party, a gang began a quick fight
my witch hat was pointed at an odd funny angle
could I get a dance? Just one maybe wrangle?
I looked at my husband whose nose gave a twitch.
I looked fabulous as a sexy, gorgeous young witch
my husband dressed as Dracula with cape and red tie
he watched me dance with another, we both wondered why
the rest of the night my man spun me around the floor
I had not danced in a while, my legs and heart said we wanted more.
My friend laughed at our exuberance yelled out “get a room!”
I gave her a gentle tap on the head with my yellow straw broom.
the food was delicious, the drinks were cold and refreshing.
my husband’s eyes were on me, I knew he was undressing.
funny to me, since we already had two babies at home.
the next thing I knew, I was picked up by a gnome.
The gnome ran off with me to the ladies room to gab.
she had a lot to tell me, and she wanted to blab.
this was a Halloween party provided by my school.
At our principal’s house, and he was now a fool.
Made silly by drinks, which went straight to his head.
His wife was so embarrassed, she sent him to bed.
teacher friends were dressed as goblins, super heroes, and a ghost.
We all discussed unabashedly the craziness of our elusive host.
He was a shy guy, and would be embarrassed to death about this.
A cobra slithered up to me and tried to speak with a hiss.
Nancy! I was delighted, she was my best pal at school.
She had a lot to confide about our nemesis, Mr. O’Toole.
O’Toole was walking around saying dumb things to everyone.
Speaking with Nancy about him was incredibly fun.
My husband was devouring everything off a huge silver tray.
Tidbits and appetizers in black, orange, yellow, and gray.
two jack-o-lanterns were giving me a clever candle wink.
I felt cute tonight, happy, totally energetic, and in the pink.
we had a sitter that night for the first time since our second baby.
Do you want to go home yet? I stared at my man. “No, yes, maybe.”
With two children at home under the age of two, this was a delight.
A marvelous Halloween party that made me feel happy and right.
Sound of sea is locked within seashell beached
Just lift a shell to your ear to hear sea sigh.
Morn is locked within dawns red sky horizon
Like flower bud bursts into daybreak.
Sap and sinew of living tree trunk
Is locking within its wood when cut and dried.
Knitters love and enterprise is purled into garments
Finger strokes coiled and entwined, locked within.
Photos frozen, snap shots, shuttered images frozen
Have memories locked within, auras that come to life when images viewed.
Locked within a diamond is flash of light and sparkles bright
Like a star it twinkles its light and shimmers at night.
Locked within a pebble on bed of stream are the clunks and thuds
That have ground it smooth during its passage downstream.
Locked within love locks padlocked to bridge
Is the hope that love locked up, cannot escape and flee.
For nothing is completely new since the big bang exploded
All things solid and spiritual have their birth and legacy locked within.
The threads of time's passage coiled and entwined
Locked within all matter until the end of time.
Everything has some within in tidbits locked inside
'Tis the within of things in lockets.
In my aging heart lies a single code
The one who holds the pass had too grown old
When death angel came, my petals fell from sweet rose
Now heart still aches for love once more to hold
Beyond the gate which now hangs thick ivy
Which weaves magic with its runners quite green
Tells my secrets of grief, loss and spicy
Tidbits that only lovers share between
My code is carved in silence, thought, plus aches
In each season that's passed a turning; heals
Me in love's part, even though heart breaks
Our wedding vows my heart and yours did seal
The garden planted now needs water so
Enter my garden where love gives warm glow
Nonetheless feel gratitude without
