Its like you always have the last word
And nothing then ever gets resolved
At times what you say seems slurred
Though still what you have said bold
Makes me feel like a complete nerd
As again l am left back out in cold
Though what now seems so obserd
I choose silver though you still gold
And l ask how this ever occured
When upset ,you l so want to hold
Yet the truth then be really heard
Like you say ?if the truth be told
A follow on from open ended
About past relationship
From being the sunshine chaos
To the survival of a walking corpse
From pouring all her seasons to that one friend
To pretending like nothing happened
Chanted the name a million times to her girls
Was curious,excited and never tired of taking calls
The time never occured important
Neither the place nor the content
All shattered once she accepted
That she was never even considered
Little did she know, it was all in her head
She was never special, just not dead.
Hilarious jokes,the never ending roasts
All she ever wanted was a one that lasts
Did it though?
This poem wouldn't have been emerged if it did
Two different worlds they lived
Managed to fit in, quietly adrift.
Thought she could turn the distance into a gift.
The magic was unrequited,
Though it was pointless, she confronted
Pushed through her limits to make it work
Atleast she revered the fading arc...
Regardless Of Which Occured,
At Least The Other Evil
Didn't Occur In The Way You
You Had Feared, Or Worse!
Oh, Could Be WoRseWoRse WORSE!
Every Time!
HOORAYYYY!!!
Don't Mention It.
Yippeee...

a curious coin flipped free and fell forever fishing forgotten wondrous waves woven wide in a wishing well.
on it wandered heeding head and telling tale of a decisive certain self as written in "the tomes of twi,"
(tw0 t1mes as binary transcribed, preserved there once for each possible i)
deep deep down in mother drowned the coin where by and by
such hopeful heat grew glorious great and there where through and through
rock flows into and knows each other as it's one true self.
the coin once tossed now at a loss for ways as it draws near:
it felt the sway it knew so clear at start was at an end.
no longer flipped, but rather dripped,
as the heart it did approach with glee.
shuddering round and up and down it came to rest right here:
and here, the tomes of twi concur, some miracle occured...
for as a dot.
will light a line
the coin this time did rightly left decree:
to be nothing more than mystery?
the one true way, as some might say,
was told that day upon a sphere,
and there we see ourselves entwined
upon a perfect mirror.
Jackie who was permanently stuck in the twos after
a childhood vaccine that was due..
Larry's addiction and prior crimes that led to his
affliction and wheel chair confine.
Bill who struggled with his c.p., only hoping that
others could see beyond his disability..
Joe whose institutional blows caused stuttering,
frustration and angry explodes..
Carol whose Asperger's left her obsessed compulsively
dialing strangers on her ex boyfriend quest..
George who got an inner thrill by chasing trash trucks
until they turned on the hill..
Phil who in public would stop and beg to touch the
calf of a woman's leg..
Barbara with her theatrical flare who craved full attention
every where..
Howard who lost his serenity when any change occured
in his vicinity..
James and his life long obsession with Marlboro lights
and fake wrestling..
Our society labels them developmentally delayed but
many were the best friends I've ever made..
Men rule women
Beauty rules men
where it all started
I don't know where to begin
If you need someone
to say the words
here they are
they have occured
It's late at night
and you've been served
Is there any delight
in what you've heard
Or do these words
come disturbed
unwanted in the way
the way they occurred
Have you with me
sleep disturbed
my carress awaking
sleeping nerves
trying not to bother
the next days due
My selfish desires
to add to your clues
Yes it's the tenderness
yes it is you
yes it is love
my arms ensue
to maybe embrace
and use kisses too
to feel my need
my need of you
what more to come
it will be new
but shackled are my arms
for next touch of you
Men rule women
and beauty rule men
Long shall be the duty
of each to just give in
Her independence deferred
History wipe, silenced in denial
Component of family unit secure
Current form stands as emblem
Entirety kindly quiet unheard
Cleansed of horror occured
Corpses buried won't stand trial
Heinous parade she could endure
Hosts pretense without problem
Outline dent, identity blurred
Safe matriarch role preferred
Sedating sandarac sent via smile
Dizzying aphrodisiac calamine cure
Disarming smooth cabochon gem
Exhibits traits 1950's referred
Dissolved scrag, unburdened
Drama curtains pull closing titles
Screenplay prosperity props are pure
Scripted mid century holds them
Outcast character murdered
Eleventh of New Year Era
Dear Mr. Pfizer,
I wish I'd been a whole lot wiser..
One year ago I got your vaccine
and things happened to be that weren't forseen..
The first night of the shot my vision blurred
and retina damage sadly occured..
The eye doctor said there's a hole in my macular.
I can't see it but hope it's spectacular..
The retina specialist thought I had a disease
and wouldn't listen to my self-advocacy..
One year later now I'm happy to say the hole
is still there but no disease came my way. I
won't get your boosters. I hope that's okay?
In this day and age
It's so easy to become rich
Companies are willingly ready
To give away riches beyond belief
All it takes is a new scheme
That hasn't occured to them before
Simple???
Brain power is all it takes
Everyone has it
Just need to dig down deep enough
Trust me...
One of my sons has hit the jackpot
For my poetry reading today.
No sense in rhyming my poems.
Words must be clear and explicit.
There message a meaning explains.
Why it happened and had occured.
Keep poems safe sane and secure,
Also short and simple while sweet.
Set an example for others to follow
Free from sin and prepare new home.
God has a huge home in heaven
Speak so dear and perfectly clear.
Someday soon you will see my son
While waiting in heaven to meet you.
Now can relax and worry no more,
Knowing what God has done for me
Which was that I should realize.
Should again and again exercise.
She was the poem I always wanted to express
The perfect amount of words
Never too excess
So filtered with unrest
Captured hearts
& wanted for theft
The soft sound of whispers
Occured under her breath
The Rumbles of thunder
Was heard in the west
She swore to never love another
Her Amore tore into her chest
She paused like a stutter
When she heard his first step
He was tall & under cover
Marked with claws of Regret
He would not fall for another Lover
Until he saw her he wept
They were meant for each other
So in love with intent
No time to recover
They had already met
Rainbows saw with every color
On the walls of their silhouette
every year on the day of my birth
you showed what your friendship was worth
making every effort to swerve and avert
being present because something occured
always last minute and out of your hands
a need to meet the demand and abandon
blagging bad like a selfish mad man
then your birthday comes like a coronation
crowned king of the nation with expectation
we should all make a day of the celebration
stop what we're doing to avoid complication
and that sets the tone painting the bigger picture
because if we didn't enter your home you wouldn't feature
selfish in your zone doing nothing for people
just lie and smoke homegrown thinking yourself a leader
more intelligent than the rest whose minds are feeble
helping them through life a self righteous believer
Time flies.
Unrelenting.
Unseen by most people.
Felt by those paying attention.
Time speeding up
Same few hours, same minutes
Faster
Time lies.
Things you thought known,
Memories you have stored.
Different than they occured.
If stored at all.
Deep down in the archives,
Fragments
Time cries
Unheard knocking
Sailed ships float abandoned
Opportunities untaken
Destiny changed
Altered by decisions
Wrong turns.
It's time
Never too late
Forget the past- it's gone
Live in the moment- seize your dream
Finish your book
With a grande finale
Your way.
Right now
This very moment
Don't dare procrastinate
Tomorrow is not guaranteed!
Your legacy
Depends on you today
Time flies.
I am not the me I use to be
Changes have for long occured... can't you see
Yesterday I work for a better tomorrow,
And that tomorrow is today if you don't know
I am going to live today like there is no other
For today is the benefit of yesterday's suffer.
Each and everyday when I wake up
Make my tomorrow better is all I think of,
Going to the gym working my muscles to be strong and thicker,
Then the library so I could gain knowledge and become wiser,
Toiling the soil, planting new seed
And today I will harvest the grains it yield
Everyday people work hard planning for a better tomorrow
And when the tomorrow arrives they never know,
Instead they make plans for another tomorrow
By living today in sorrow
And that tomorrow may never come that for sure
No matter how hard you work and for it you plan for,
So make the most out of each and every day
For today is the tomorrow of yesterday.
