Premium Member Captured By a Mind Unhinged

Surrounded by the chaos of a mind unhinged,
	She sought out a kind of refuge in
A corner of the gray concrete she found herself
             Surrounded by.

The coldness of the bricks startled her 
                  At first, but she 
Realized he meant to keep her there 
                 Until his thoughts went a new direction

She sat down and began to wait, 
             Visualizing her nice warm and toasty bed
                      With its fluffy comforter, and her lively room.

The hair on her arms began to rise, 
                 As she carefully began to plan another escape.

It was turning cold out now, and this room was not heated.
                She would not last long
                            If she did not get away on her next
                                     Escape attempt.

The moveable brick made a horrible scraping
                    Sound as he peered inside.
                            Loud laughter came out of his stomach soul.

Are you okay? He asked.             
                                      Cold and hungry she thought.   
Miraculously, a dirty brown towel was thrust into the space and a half eaten sandwich.  
                     Grateful, she began to eat.


Premium Member Puddle Jumper

I must be getting older now;
not always fond of walking in the rain.
I used to love to puddle jump;
only my youngest knew me not insane.
In pouring rain, we’d run the trails,
find all the largest water spots to stomp.
We’d giggle when we spied a hole,
and race to see who’d be the first to romp.
These days, I still go out at times;
my Missy needs her breaks in the outdoors.
But when it rains, she’s only there
to find relief and not a moment more.
Still, there are days when I revert
to habits from my youthful days of old;
Stroll through the wood, so clean and fresh,
too overwhelmed by beauty to be cold.
Besides, a towel, a cuppa joe,
the world is back to “normal” once again,
But just before I come inside,
I splash that one last puddle with a grin.

A Young Life Taken

Ruth wasn't more than seventeen,
the cutest girl I had ever seen;
a drunk driver collided head-on
with a Buick Regal at an excessive speed.
That intoxicated man had smoked weed...
he once was a clean, responsible son.


Yesterday her mom was so proud of a boy so mannered and tame,
today she's gotten a share of the horrendous shame;
he's not aware of the horrifying crash, he continues to laugh;
while in the passenger's seat of the other car Ruth bleeds to death. 


The nearest hospital' ambulance comes within five minute's time,
the car radio is still playing that song with perfect rhyme;
Ruth's face is covered with blood and pieces of glass,
and her mom tries to wipe them off with a towel as white as her dress.
She hopes that those paramedics would save her,
but she has no pulse,...how heart-wrenching is Ruth's mother despair!


Why did he drink irresponsibly, get behind the wheel and enter the opposite lane? 
Didn't he know that a car is a weapon that often takes the life of an innocent person? 
" So sorry for my son's negligence and impairment, I will share your deep pain."
Will's mom apologizes in an attempt to comfort her while sunlight brings on the dawn.

I am lost for words

I am lost for words
I am having a good day today
It is finally warm today
And I am going to spend
This beautiful day outside
I am glad that
It is finally warming up
The cold weather is over
Last Sunday it was
Palm Sunday
Every body got a
Palm leaf
Yes I am getting my vitamin d
Every single day
I am not having any grey sky
Anymore
I don't have any air conditioning
In my house
So I must open all the windows
So my house can cool of
At night
When the sun goes down
It gets cold
I sleep naked in my bed
I must tell you that I enjoy that
Today it is a new day again already
The birds woke me up
With their song
I love when the birds do that
Now I am finally getting up slowly
Out of my bed
And I will start to get ready for the day
First I will shave my face
The old fashion way
With the throw away razor
And some shaving cream
I must shave slowly
If I do it fast I will cut my face
After I had finished I get naked
Slowly I start to remove the clothes
From my body
Then I go into the shower
I turn my shower on
I put my body wash on my
Bath sponge
I rub my sponge sponge
All over my body
Then I rinse the body wash
Of my body
Now I turn my shower of
Now is time to dry my body
With the bath towel
Finally I am going to get dress now
I put on a t-shirt on
My chest
Now I am going to put underwear on my cock
Then I will put my pants on my body
Now I am going to put socks on my feet
Then I am going to put my running shoes on my feet
Now I am going out for a walk in the park
The birds are singing for me
While I walk on the park

Preparation Appreciation

Pain is falling. Into your arms; pain is calling. Answer me! Pain says. Pain says jump. Anguish says how high sir. And the sky's the limit. It's right there. Here in your face; can you touch it? You cannot! Says Pain. Fear hides behind its stalker, awaiting wrath. Judgment withstood beside Pain and the verdict is in. GUILTY. Come again? GUILTY YOUR HONOR; sir. Bow down to Pain. Crumble beneath pains' ridicule and fall...Into Pain's arms. Snuggle with you? Pain will coddle you until you forget all of your dreams. Hope floats away. Bye bye hopes and—See you later those dreams. 
Pain says never. Again we buckle under the pressure, of Pain. Hate hoards our love, collecting—An emotional miser of goodness sakes. Hate simply takes and hate takes...takes...but you just you wait...We have enough of our own strengths. We mustn't let hatred to take...take...take...
Fall out of love with this Hate...hate...out of love with this hate. Back in love with our fate. Knowing...I got what it takes...takes...I got what it takes...oh goodness my grace...put me back in my place and end this whole chase...whole place of this chase...Pain Pain go far far away. I say pain go away...Way...wait. 
I need more than one plate. You all break with this slate. I'm done chalking up crapes. 
I'm strong like an owl. And ya'll smell fairly foul. So times come to be towered. And I hoo hoo like an owl. Out of my circle, leave this powwow. I'm all over this now now. And Pain falls to the ground round; and...Hate trips on his towel. They both sit in time out now. Pain is gone now I'm falling—into grips with my calling. Reconnect with my family; and own up to ole' Sammy. Finally doing the damn thing. And this ending is happy. But don't let Pain gain way into your backseat. Life's a journey, don't call you the wrong taxi. Time has come, Pain go head try and get me, cannot catch me. Yes sir, (says Pain) just don't put me back into that taxi. I say that's right look right at me. When you speak talk about me. No more hate, pain is now but a memory. Hopes and dreams, love and family....Pain is falling—But not at me...

Premium Member A DAY AT THE BEACH

A DAY AT THE BEACH
Just something silly....

There once was a squirrel named Sue,
who dreamed of the ocean so blue.
     With a towel and a delicious snack,
     she set off with goodies in her backpack,
hoping to build castles and surf waves anew.

She dug in the sand with great glee,
searching for treasures, oh my, oh me!
     But a wave gave a splash,
     and her snacks made a crash.
Now her lunch was a feast for the sea!

With a flip and a flop, all day she did play,
Rolling in tides till end of the day.
     Though her fur got quite wet,
     Sue would soon not forget,
the fun that she had at the beach on the bay!

Premium Member Never Throw In the Towel

Feeling kinda sentimental today
Reflecting on years gone by
The ups and downs, the good and bad
The lows and so many highs

That's what makes life so interesting
Imagine if it was always clear sailing
Nothing to discuss with the ones we love
To help us when all else is failing

These ups and downs are all part of life
To remind us we're all human beings
To keep us on the straight and narrow
And keep us honest and feeling

No one's immune to life's uncertainties
Everyone must play by the rules
Try as we might to find a shortcut
We wind up looking like fools

The bottom line is keep plugging away
Do the best that you know how
It's not a matter of winning or losing
Just never throw in the towel

Premium Member My Cold Cup of Tea

My tech of nology is some what limited
Even when I try to get things printed
But to transfer pictures is testing me
Failed to connect keeps harrassing me

Tech of nology is a crazy puzzle
Has tied my mind into its muzzle
To think of a plan of what that might be
I decide to make a nice cup of tea

But impatient am I or a fool I may be
I begin to embark my challenging journey
The memory card will not work
And bluetooth is making me feel like a berk

Do I confess and give up now?
Or carry on with my prowl?
I take a deep breath and count to ten
I will win this and transfer them

I remove the card to check it's ok
Then put it back in, but the wrong way
So here I am with this new struggle
Stuck it is, oh I'm in a muddle

A needle, a toothpick I did apply
The tweezers I know, I will give them a try
My choices of tools I was desperate you see
To win back my card my phone kept from me

As I pulled and tugged as hard as can be
It shoots straight out into my cup of cold tea
Fingers dives in and fumbles around
To my relief the card quickly found

A blow on the card and a gentle shake
Come on card give me a break
Placed on towel paper to dry
A warm blow from the hairdryer next I try

More thoughtful this time I insert the card
But no it's still just a bit to hard
I cuss at myself for being so silly
Win I will, I'm a determined Milly

Finally inserted I am ready to go
I press the buttons but alas it's a no
No pictures was found they are lost in the sea
By the mug of my cold cup of tea
