Love Is Never Optional


Love is never optional...

~

Twinning body mind and soul
Vulnerability taking its toll
Fasioned of love
A gift from above
Imprisoned with no escape

I hear morning birds
Calculating the unheard
A glance of the eyes
Insecure and tongue tighted
A foundation of dreams unfurls

Champagne Optional

a scattering of rice
    a few awkward toasts

  waves goodbye
    tin cans trailing
  
  just married sign
    upside down

  short drive to motel
    six, no a/c

  bedsprings creak
    soon fail

  glass shatters

Clothing Optional

Devil sends his advocate to recruit us from the office.
Is this a joke? I ask, thinking it must be.
The advocate comes in with a flourish,
Throwing her red satin cape around with a swish
As she sits daintily on the arm of my boss’s chair.
My boss jumps a few inches. Scared probably.
She is armed with brochures about

Growing Up Is Optional

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional
Choice is ours, but there are quite a few obstacles
A grade two education
Is handy negotiating
A million dollar contract, need more in your arsenal

Optional Titles

how do you feel
lost and alone at the end of your dime
someplace on the road between the here and the now
out of smokes and outa luck
barefaced to the carnival of night
the day passes slowly into the vastness of the past
hungry eyes puddled with traces of regret
for all the places you've been and think you belong
for

Optional

Optional is not an option anymore.
I will roam
and I will writhe.
I will rally, rebuild.
I will pave a road, 
I'll launch a ship.
I'll race a train, I'll run like hell.
I'll suck the marrow from my spine.
I'll hold my head above the moon.
I'll dive in the deep, I'll chase a bullet.
I'll wander out,
I'll slide away.
I'll lead an

Optional Perspective

Life is beautiful in the way of motion
Creating a notion of which you want it to be
Whether it a choppy sea or of a slow thrusting ocean
You can decide what you want to see
Terror of wars enter a fighting mans thoughts
Midwifes bear feelings of ill dying babies
Paedophiles stand unhumain before judges at courts
Vets see the

Optional Life

Money is a matter.
Telling me a Potter.
Child is very expensive,
Posted me a daughter.

When you was a child,
Your mum wasn’t wild,
If she can afford you,
Why are you a hooter?

I work always hard,
But my wife was a guard,
Always looking after me,
She wasn’t a modern cheater.

Social life was very cheap,
But nobody has a loud weep,
Cold was everywhere cold,
