The Blindside

Kingpins’ suspicions are starting to grow
Reactions are seamless for a reality show
What makes the game stirring is a crazy blindside
But I’ll pledge acceptance with honor and pride

Throwing someone under the bus is not a good idea at all
Silent watchers love betrayal; they are ready to brawl.
They say, “Viewer discretion is advised”
But the content of the truth heavily upsets me; I’m surprised.

The most difficult situations are caught on-cam
Yeah, it’s too hot to handle when emotions are slammed
But when the queen bees know how to play and pretend
The wannabes follow; they also transcend. 

Anyone could show ruthless aggression to this madness
Deep inside is melancholy; There is a beat of sadness
I wish to move forward and let it slide
But everybody wants to see the dead end of the blindside

Razorblade

Razorblade


Shot a rebel through the heart.
Cancer kills but life is art.
You tried to put a stop to all that we are,
But we are too hot to handle; you can’t grab hold of a star.


Fire your guns; I’m invincible.
Speak your words; I’ve heard them all before.
Condemn a man for condemning your war.
You will never stop what we are.


Your system of control and degrade is beginning to fade.
Push my buttons, I’m a microwave,
Blowing through your wall like a hand grenade.
A tongue so sharp, I’m a razorblade;
Cutting your lies apart…your truth cannot be saved.

The Ghazal Collaboration-True Love

"This was fun collaborating with my wife Wendy. We each took turns writing a stanza. Together we wrote 12 stanzas - each with 16 syllables" ~The Poets~

Unarguable power of desire drew me to your true love.
I thought it was merely lust now I dedicate it to true love.

When skies were grey and winter winds chilled and the cold was hard to bear.
It took the thought of you to warm me with your soft, tender true love.

In our youth love did blossom so, as I remember days gone by.
Joyous times, laughter and frivolity, then such carefree true love.

Mornings you would tirelessly brush my long wavy hair with such care.
Then lay me down,  mess it all up, with our hot passionate true love.

Intrinsic time has advanced down pathways unknown, and the bell tolled.
Unhindered yearning smoothly burning to a threshold of true love.

Tribulations ran deep almost to despair, I knew you were there.
Emotions too hot to handle, faded what we called pure true love.

All romance diminished, thought we were finished, and you looked elsewhere.
Were lonely souls to reunite, or was there a cost for true love?

Disillusioned with intent, no longer content with just caring.
Intangible the thought of trying to rejuvenate true love.

Forgiveness rebuilt trust and our love became resilient once more.
With empathy for each other’s weaknesses, we renewed true love.

Age has wearied us, and some years have condemned us quite unhealthy.
Life gave us resilience to battle on, overcome with true love.

I reminisce about the life we have led, it seems our love grew. 
Now nothing is as important as you, love abounds, it’s true love.

My love these fifty-two years you have given me body and soul.
It’s what life is all about, you are my everything, my one true love.

I picked up my tube of super glue
In hopes of piecing together
Sad lonely broken you
As I sifted through the bits
I wasn't sure what to do
Although there were many pieces
I was missing quite a few

Looking back to yesterday 
tomorrow now and then
I Kept searching and searching
over and over again
To find the missing pieces
I looked to your pen
More than twenty-two missing
or perhaps less than ten

Imbedded in the paper
those pieces I sought
The lessons you had learned
and the pain they had brought
All your moments revealed
They came together in thought
I heard paper like screaming
cutting through me like a shot

The glue I was holding
Dissolved slowly like sand
so I gathered up your heart
and held it in my hand
My tears fell amongst the pieces
in a way I didn't  understand
Your heart became too hot to handle
So I placed it on the land

Lifting heart up from the ground
You placed it slowly in your chest
All those bits that truly formed you
came together and we were blessed
Hidden answers you chose to scribe
where always meant to be a test
Revealing what we all are missing
those parts of us that go unconfessed

Premium Member Too Hot To Handle

You look at me... with disgust in your eyes
At all of the flaws.. I can no longer hide
And I know in your heart... you want to throw me away
Forgetting it's you... who has made me this way

Yes! I know I'm no longer...the beauty I was
On the day that we met...and you fell in love
And I have been faithful... for all of these years
Through all of your laughter... and all of your tears

Through fallen Souffle's... and torched Flambe's
Your Chef dreams all strewn... in disarray 
It is I who has taken the heat for you
Now really! ...is this what you want to do?

Throw me away... like a dirty old rag
Or hang me again...on that old wooden peg
There in my place...above the kitchen mantle
The Pot Holder who takes...what you can not handle.
