cat up some nibble?
Got no business ahmarrying!
Ding Dang hippies!
the does and I does!
A relationship that looks like a "marrying type" is characterized by deep emotional security, constructive communication, aligned life goals, and mutual effort, rather than just physical attraction or excitement. It thrives on a foundation of friendship, trust, and shared values, often featuring partners who see each other as teammates handling life's challenges together.

For friends and folks of foolish forests' frogs!
Darkness deals with your dusty dirty wares,
Shadows shine, shimmering in sheering sears,
Stars twinkle topmost on the tossing trees,
To crisply cuddle the blistering breeze.
Fearless forests friends forbid foolish spies,
Listen long, lively laughter lifts no lies,
Even evenings eager to call you fools,
And shame the sour scents of your playing pools.
Ban any boot of blame from your long legs,
Many mysterious mouths mock your eggs,
Hidden hearts hum horrible haunting hymns,
While their fears for you fret on fragile limbs.
Godly ghosts guests fought fetish friends and folks,
Fresh fears then froze your frantic frenzy croaks,
Marring you from making mendacious cry,
While waiting where the worst will walk you by.
Her heart has turned to glass
Broken shards that stab her from within
Lost in her sea of sorrow
She hardly feels the tears pouring from her soul
Melancholy reigns, marring her mind
She drowns day after day in her ocean of worries
Smiling, when there's no end to her problems
To whom can she open up?
Who really knows her real state?
To whom can she share her regrets with?
Who will pull her up from this dark depression?
This chasm that seems to consume her?
This chaos that runs amok, ruining her?
This speechless pain that silences every other thought?
Who can cure her heart?
Glue those shattered pieces back into one whole?
Take control of her lachrymose life?
Comfort her, hold her when she needs it the most?
WHO...?
Is there no hope?
Is there no answer to her cry?
Is there no rope for her to hold on?
Why does life have to be so hard?
SHE LAUGHS...
Mangiferin crammed,
Magnificent fruit king...
Mingled with vitamins,
Minerals and fibers
Makes marvelous milkshakes...
Maintains mental health by
Marring malefic moods...
Death looks at a flower, screaming I am beautiful
look here I am, come eat me, alone.
Death hovers, smiling, never waiting, walking always
by, knowing that,
any thing that touches it will also soon, never die.
Death is love, love is death, why are you both, death
is your pet pink pig, and two flying pearls.
Death is a dry cracked nipple, sleeping, holding on
to the flesh untill it falls off.
Death is a bullet fixed, never moving, why does the
world move you through it.
Death is a voice always quite, sounding alarms to
walk across the street knowing you look while you
come running.
Death is a woman, who is crazy, thinking the world is
spinning into her coffee.
Death to all men who think they can save the woman
by marring death and eating her sandwich.
Death fingered you, you loved it, now you finger me,
leaving my bee exposed on the flower, you buzzed.
Death's own flower is always sweet and poignant on me,
It is always open for you to smell.
and it's red alarms, you ignored,
still here now it comes, alone, to see you as one.
loves interlude
The story of love
it's why I ask myself
we are best together
seems i don't want no one else
people see things differently
it's different in every eye
we say hello just to say
goodbye
why oh why
tell me why oh why
must my heart be broken all the time!.....
Those where the days
those good ole days
when women loved
there men
with honor and respect
those were the good
ole days
Those were the days
those good ole days
men adored
and they chored
all to help the lady
those were the
good ole days
say it aint so
say it aint true
no collaboration
between me and
you
can we go back
start over again
maybe this time
we will end up
as friends
i like it when
we were together
talk over anything
through
any kinda weather
holding hands
from dawn til dust
spend a little
begg a little
but in god we'd trust
take credit for marring
the two of us
those were the good ole days!
Influences of love; getting back into romance is harder to do!
trumpets, french horns bassey guiars. violens chelloes flutes and woodwinds. sythesizers and right singers creating the right sounds!
For every hour, within so many days.
The minutes i counted as they sped away.
My heart was destroyed, left within the ashes.
The rememnants of life, fell from lowered lashes.
One deep breath was held.
Held in desperation.
Desperation caused from seperation...
For every whimper swallowed, before escaping.
For every time things were mistaken.
A scar formed, marring the beauty of love.
Another scar given, as each time I shoved.
Another deep breath held.
Held in pain.
Pain that had left its mark.
For every chance taken, yet never taken.
For every decision maken that was mistaken.
For every heart beat that's still beating
I stand now, my past I'm defeating.
A breath taken deeply.
Deeply releasing a past.
A Past that is no longer my prison.
Foggy
Drizzling rain
Droplets begin collecting
Marring the polished wood
Where the little sparrow stood
Windy
Trees swaying
Tears and mourners
Uplifting scripture is spoken
The sparrows soft cries awoken
Flowers
Sickingly sweet
Meals are delivered
Grieving friends from church
The windowsill the sparrows perch
Living
Seemingly stopped
Weeping at gravestone
Loss they can't abide
Faithful sparrow at their side
Time
Marching on
Sun creeps in
Tunnel fills with light
And the sparrow takes flight
January 2023
Mundane matters motley
Muddy minds mostly
Melding, moulding, miring
Mindlessly meandering
Meek moribund musing
Mindfulness missing
Mystics mentalism mimic
Marring meditation’s magic

A cloven feeling of love
for marring motions of hug
When rising spirits above
tear at their ceilings of tug
And comforts settle upon
what muscles drawn are bond
When tension leaves us for good
and frumpy feelings are dawned
Anger does not cleanse the wounded soul;
Invites no healing to the bosom scarring
By thoughtless word or unintended scroll.
‘Tis more than hurt the mind so marring
Nurtures the malignancy that sears inside
Invites no healing to the bosom scarring—
The constant ache signals the ailing pride
Self-loathing eroding from deep within,
Nurtures the malignancy that sears inside.
More than merely misnomer’d fragile skin
One’s whole being suffers from self-defeat
Self-loathing eroding from deep within.
From crippling anger the soul must retreat
Before the whole personality is eaten alive
One’s whole being suffers from self-defeat.
One so consumed must want to thrive
Anger does not cleanse the wounded soul,
Before the whole personality is eaten alive
By thoughtless word or unintended scroll.
Exhorted to fulfill my very best
amidst perfection and excellence test…
what matters well is I did my utmost
vis-à-vis required and set standards’ post.
Respecting others with their unique traits
cognizant of my flaws and error weights…
what matters is that I’m striving to learn
still improving for which my heart does yearn.
Unmasked by jury along good and right
my soul admits guilt of hypocrite’s blight…
what matters then is my attitude show
from inward repentance to faith-glow.
Exposed to God Who knows every motive
my spirit seeks His wise directive
what matters now is life’s earnest desire
in serving by His grace till I retire.
Thus, responding to bullies, may I say
tasks abound for achievement-gain each day…
what matters though is having honest* aim
helping someone, not marring any name.
*2Corinthians 8:21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

9th place, "Judged By A Jury Of Your Peers" Poetry Writing Contest
Sponsored by Mark Koplin; judged on 11/14/2020.
The continuità
Of thought quanta
A hypnotic trance
Marring innocence
Soundless word
Double edged sword
Slave or master
As we choose to foster
Love distilled attention
Lower mind we jettison
Deep trance meditation
Radiates bliss elation
Mode of being watchful
Co-creates each miracle
Bringing reality into being
As of our own choosing

The saddest tale that’s e’er been told
Is that of pencil Sharp
He wrote so dark, so brave and bold
The critics on did harp
Disaster struck one fateful day
As Sharp wrote down a line
His pink eraser wore away
So marring Sharp’s design
Now Sharp decays in health and mind
His purpose now so dull
And as Sharp fails, he falls behind
And publishers are full
No time have they for useless Sharp
A point without an end
So on and on the critics carp
About his latest penned
To greatness go the other pens
And those whose use goes on
To write of mountains and of glens
For Sharp all hope is gone
Creeping contraction
Marring bliss elation
The latent craving
Seeking quicker enabling
Cannot be denied
As coordinates are sized
By lower mind
We imagined left behind
Each desire egoic lust
Specious logic thrusts
Causing a ripple
Making complex the simple
We view this oscillation
With nonchalant attention
Recognising the confusion
Owing to body identification
Though deluded for a while
We shrug it off with a smile
We alone witness this battle
Consciousness the mantle
Where we are put to test
Be it trough or crest
We rise like the Phoenix
Ecstatic in bliss electric
