A pure Hawaiian of rare birth,
living a life somewhat carefree,
fed farm animals by this squirt,
sticks and stones were real toys indeed,
set trash ablaze, be on alert,
a barefoot country kid, that's me,
a runner on trails made...

Methinks muss elf akin to a cold prickly...

being analogous to a
limp biscuit viz
wussy wonky willy,
yet back in the day
rolling in hay worm
may at large cavorted
frolicked, and idealized
as a warm fuzzy.

Though aforementioned title
slightly risqué and silly,

why are you sitting in the church looking all a dazed
looking at the pulpit with a confused gaze
some church goers in all actuality
need a good healthy dose of spirituality

every Sunday the Tators come to church...

No wonder snail keeps to its shell
And tortoise prefers its crap
Ocean homes fish exclusively
Balance diet makes no cage home for bird 
Nest is a chosen home for its kind

My bed
So spacious so comfortable

As I rush past the dastardly faces of those in pain,
I begin to ponder if it were possible to die here,
Surrounded by disease and loneliness the decrepit weep under those in control,
There daily dose of...

When we walk the campus
			to what used to be the center,
			we might miss the venerable place.
			Taller piles of brick and towers
			obscure the central space

			Who hasn’t heard the poet moan:
			“Present concerns shroud the...

I remember the day—historic NEWS FLASH,
America said YES, to that famed man of brash.
Too good to be true—for conservative folk,
Donald Trump now our Prez—was surely a hoax.

But indeed it was true, and no sooner had...

In the night within the silent darkness
Cried a fallen angel,
From the waves of the wind soaring from afar
There he rose from the ground below; hopelessly. 
Known to him was only pain,
As he came from beyond...

Memories 
of 
Memory
Glittering 
at 
the 
top 
shelf 
of 
my 
gallery,
Oozing 
glamour 
entwined 
with 
a 
dose 
of 
mystery,
Breath 
taking 
and 
breath 
giving 
in 
tandem,
Captivating 
and 
healing 
a 
limping 
soul.

Memories 
of 
Memory
Carressing 
my 
mind 
with 
every 
heartbeat,
Floating...

O’ death
You are beautiful……
I wish that I could be with you
Exchanging blows that life threw
My suffering would be through.

You are an inspiration……
I look for you before I sleep
To prepare me for your keep
Take away my...

To you only the imagery like the heart is meant for you
     You are the only blanket of mine recently

Born an American 
But i was raised multicultural
Ive ventured to many places
But this was the most historical.

With a make-up similar to an architectural plan
Where from a...

I am writing for you to see
Because you are the one who understood me
I've made a bold move which I know you won't agree
One that you had eventually come to foresee.

Hidden Agenda

Fighting hard to maintain
Instigating while, hesitating on that last breath, on that last breeze.
Taking all things with ease 
Thought of as a dream lost in a tease
Staring in to the depth of the night...

I spend two hours of most every day,
With the tending and feeding of cats.
I never imagined my end of life this way,
It causes most of our marital spats.

It's not a Kitten's fault for being born,
Nor...

To a dog, an empty hand's cause 
even a well-intentioned one
flinches an involuntary jaw.. 
your neighbor's just the same.

Have you grown leery the open palm?
wearied away as your brother's keeper.
Not responsible to his good name
nor...

Spirit freed by the sculptor. Realising,
All needs met, speaking, thinking,
To fully appreciate the LIFE He gives,

A candle was extinguished to light another
