Pauly Poems

A travesty

I am far away from home in a land that is now foreign to me
I go outside at just the right moment and I see the moon high in the clear sky
And the sun setting in the background saying good night
But it is a travesty...
I miss my home and I miss my views
Here the sun is being hidden behind tall buildings all around
I see the reflection of the suns colors in the clouds but that is all
I miss my home, I miss my land
It's a travesty what man has done to skew the beauty of the world

Death

When I die
I will be happy for I have lived a very long and plentiful life
I want to be cremated and sit idle until the day my wife passes
I would like for her to be cremated so that our ashes can be blended together in perfect harmony
My dream is that people not mourn for us but rather celebrate our life and love together
I want the "fun" to be put back into "funeral"
I see people dancing and playing music loudly and telling memoric stories of the lives that we have lived for we have truly found love and our love should be celebrated.
This is my dream for when I die

Church

Today, I went to my church
My church is not a building
It is not a person to go listen to
It is a place where I go
and I know I am there when I arrive
It just so happens that when I experience a crossroad here in my new country
The old country
The crossroad is usually at the pass of a church.

Today, I just went outside for a drive
I had no idea where I was going
I just drove and drove and drove
I made a left here
went straight for a while
then turned right at the third exit of a roundabout
A friend once told me never worry about getting lost.
because all roads lead to home

My phone battery was dying
and I had to go pee
I was just driving
and I turned a corner
and there was my crossroad
and I stopped.
I was in front of the church
I parked my car and gave thank you to my gods
For my life and the life that I am living.

A beer

A beer

My person is not built to work all the time.
I want to enjoy life...
My way...
I already had my career and it sucked
Selfishness and greed
I do not like
I love what I am doing 
But I get tired ...
So I have a beer …

Life is crazy

It never stops
I pay money to be sane 
But life keeps going and making me crazy.

The Death Notice - O Anuncio De Morte

The Death Notice
O Anuncio de Morte

I am turning into an old man. 
While my mind runs 100 miles an hour, 
I am learning my body just cannot keep up anymore.
I find myself walking the streets in my pijamas and slippers and with my dog.
We stop and sit and just watch life go by.
We watch people move … living their fast and slow lives.
We see everything! 

The strangest observation that I have learned to observe is the man with the paper notes in hand. 

The church bells ring daily,
Not just announcing the hour of the day but these bells from the church ring different.
They are the bells of a person that has passed onto the next life.
Then, the next day, I see the man with the paper notes in his hand.

O Anuncio de Morte. The Death Notice.
He walks around the village posting notices of the people that passed their lives into the next world.
One day, I hope to see from above, the man walk and post my notice on the store front announcing about the life that I lived.

However, I feel I will not ever die. 
Or maybe I am already dead because I live in paradise.
Life is beautiful but I still want to see my notice on the cafe window!

My Dearest Star

MY DEAREST STAR

You are the brightest one,
I lay in awe looking at you every night,
You make my spirit feel at ease.

You take care of me through the good,
And of course, during my down times,
You are my Star,
You are my Angel.

I am grateful every day for your Love,
Even if I do not act right.
Sometimes it’s the romantic in me,
Other times it’s me just being crazy,
But by some magic from the heavens above,
We were brought together in Love.

I was living like a vagabond,
Wondering through life with no cares in the world,
Then I met you.
We danced and shared just one kiss,
You told me with your touch that I was yours.
Shortly after we started our Life together,
And you taught me to care again.

You are my best friend,
You are my confidant,
You are my lover,
You are my caretaker,
I owe my life to you for saving me.

We have been together for four years,
Married now for three.
I promised to Love and care for you until death does us part,
However, I know we will be together eternally.

Now, I have a question for you …
Will you marry me again?

I Love You!
Happy Anniversary (2023).
May our Love continue to grow stronger.

Double-Edged Sword

Life truly is a double-edged sword,
The grass is greener on what side of the fence?
Who knows,
But that is life …

Dreams and Risk

Dreaming and being positive
is not enough to achieve your goals.
Living is a risk
that not everyone wants to take.
You have to remember
that every action has a consequence,
just as every risk can have its reward.

Writing

Writing

Writing
the intentional exercise
to remove unwanted energy (shet)
from the soul.

You Know When You Know

She loved me before she even knew me,
She gave me her heart!
She told me she loved me,
Via a text message after only a few days.
Yes, that first kiss was a kiss,
She literally sucked my tongue from my face.
She was giving me a message.
We talked for more weeks,
I was in the south of Portugal,
She was up north.
She wanted me to visit the north for the holidays but I had no money.
But we still talked.
We had plans to meet the first time
but the ex husband made a complication.
No harm. 
When we finally met,
We met.  
We made love for the first time and it was magical. 
We went to a local bar and a woman friend saw and greeted me,
And my woman grabbed and pinched my fingers.
so hard and subconsciously said,
"You are MINE".
I said, “Okay”.
We made love a second time
outside at the fisherman's rest looking at the moon.
At least I was,
She was crying,
What...??? 
We went home for the night
and in the morning I went outside for space. 
I sat on a hilltop and drank two bottles of beer
and asked my God what direction in life I should walk.
One week later I was on a train going north, 
Two years later we are married and very much in Love!

Premium MemberSnow Woman Got Her Kitten

Snow woman got her kitten and named him Pinky Poo.
She gave him a nickname of Pauly before she was through.
Let’s call him PPP, suggested her cousin, Little Lotto Lou.
Yes, and then we can call you LLL also, said snow woman Sue.

PaULY WALLY

THERE ONCE was A Carpenter
That fell off his saw sawhorse
Had a wife but she divorced him
Cause of the nails he left in the kitchen
He framed a wall but it fell
Only thing left was the hole in the floor
O how can you tell
Pauly Wally was a carpenter
Whose bed was a wooden accordion door

Poor Paul

Poor Paul poor Paul
Shot went through
Don't bawl

Someone call the po po
Cody said he won't hold a gun
No mo no

Paul said help me through the door
Cody said aight bro

Paul's sweet innocence
He said why'd it happen like dis

Don't end it poor Paul, Poor Paul
We call u Pauly D
Why u wonna hurt me

Shot in the arm
Through the leg
Hope they don't turn to a peg
Poor Paul, poor Paul
