Some people wind up with twisted knickers
When they get insulted by nitpickers
Words are sticks and stones
Causing moans and groans

WHY DOES IT HURT?
 
Why does it hurt,
When you whisper “Good-bye Love?”
Why does it hurt,
When you don’t sigh “Oh Hi Love?”
 
Why does it hurt,

Upmteenth (re:) inspection revisited...

I experience dread-nought
until April 19th, 2022 becomes yesterday
when troubles with management
here at Highland Manor
hoop fully temporarily alleviated.

personal living space
otherwise known as Unit B44
encroached, obtruded, and violated
predicated upon fruit...

Getting stuck sucks
Call it tough luck
You must be nuts
I don't know you enough
So why would I just

In someone that already bluffed
Over petty stuff

There’s something about my love for my daughter, 
maybe it’s all the lessons I have taught her.

It’s hard for me to take 
My own advice

But I’m still playing 
With my life 
I don’t even understand 
The issues of my own brain
I go from addiction to affliction...

I don’t have time to stand in lines
I won’t waste time with fools
I dislike liars and cheaters
And distrust self-serving rules
I won’t spend my time listening to hype
That’s why politicians are boring

Is just Love an oasis in ‘desert of self’
Where my talents seem fossilized bones with no life?
I bless remnants of forebears (expired, long past prime)
That caress life, the breeze that cools brow, whose moist breath,

My shadows are tender and easy to miss,
Like a smile seems innocuous, stealthy as kiss,
Still these shadows add weight, create drag in our life,
Though they rarely, if ever, cut deep like a knife!

Too, sunlight wracks...

Except what is and take a fresh start

Not a homage to self, but salvation from damage,
A prayer of faith when cold fear floods the...

There, Moses encountered a circumstance odd.

A bush was on fire, or so he presumed,
But nary a branch of it: charred or consumed.

This caught his attention; he turned...

beep beep... hush hush

Within our world in a rush

when push comes to shove we need a hug

things in life get pushed under the rug

 

these are desolate times yet...
