I get out my acrylic paints and begin choosing colors I like
Draw out a cartoon cat wearing a tam riding a bike
after the paint dries, I add glitter glue so it has some sass
If anyone wants me to leave my art studio, I take a quick pass.
Painting and cartooning are hobbies that keep me fresh and happy.
I love them so much, I fear my words might seem convoluted and sappy.
relaxed I am while painting pictures; it makes the hours whittle away.
I usually paint on six to sixteen canvases at a time, each and every day.

crown petals unfold for lofty Light
fontanelle gaping softly smile
Centre Point’s hole blazon mile
pineal connects as conical way
to galactic edenic binomial rays
loosens ovuliferous scales honed
thyroid equalises, tongue relaxes
cylinder opens larynx true blue
speech becomes intended hues
heart softens atria, ventricles
valves linking doors of paradise
protected golden it rhapsodises
coin-line verticle-horizontal spherical
solar plexus flowers monumental near
mystical super might no incidentals
feed flows smooth for tantric beats
sacral seat in creativity knowing heat
power is orange action satisfaction
rooted into Earth mooted primordial
authentic estate mirthful immemorial
aligned connection very refined

The sheet is blank, and so's the mind
It's hard to think it so unkind
That friend that's been with you so long
Declining now to come along
It was not always thus, and so
At times so willingly to go
It led some place you'd rather not
Wondering just how you got
From here to there and back again
But still you treat it like a friend
Sometimes one that's led astray
Sometimes the one you hope will stay
For friends are dear, we know that now
Another hand upon the plow
Another shoulder in the trace
Which pulls its weight in that hard place
Aligns us there within the race
Drops us right into that place
Where furrowed brow relaxes now
And finds the rest none can efface

Double time hits for the ceiling —
The clouds of white smoke, the healing
Childhood in my skin finally relaxes
Everyone around me in lapses
Coffee forms the swollen cheeks
With history's pick of bean
Water remembers
Water pushed under embers
The percolator
Like some wound drips her.
Eyes on the preppy barista —
Maybe we both see in similar vistas
She writes down my choice of expresso's dark
God, if ~her youth~ could start my heart.
A cup with fingers locked for style,
The young woman plays in the mud awhile.

My little guy to my happy surprise
is with me still and very spry
His heart pills keep him ticking on
personality of his still is strong
He loves to growl and bark all day
for him it is the way he plays
the thing he loves most of all
is when I scratch his chest he is enthrall
It relaxes him and keeps him calm
never enough keep scratching on and on
The old guy walks the perimeter of the fence
sniffs to know whose been whence
About every couple of feet or so
Genghis lifts his leg and lets it go
He makes his mark to claim it all
and mosey about walking tall
Old Kublai used to follow him on his tail
mark over his mark as Genghis he trailed
As if he had to mask Genghis's scent with his own
for Genghis's claim Kublai disowned
I miss my Kublai they were a funny pair
But now I have sweet Sassy dear
She sits and watches Genghis from finish to start
as that silly old boy, Genghis makes his mark.

Planet in flux…it sucks
No refuge..Scrooge rules..
Stooges subterfuge deluge..
Fossil fuel fools..
Poleaxes..then relaxes…
As the earth burns..
As it turns..on its axis..
***************
Us schmucks battling....
Puzzling...prattling clucks...
Aloof to proof....daft defiance..
Shucks the sleuth of science..
**************
Glower at their ivory tower..
Cruise ship trip fillip..
Dour baby boomer power..
******
Absurd herd..cans compliance
Uncouth trampling truth..
Nip & tucks alliance..
Mottled rucks…throttled petro bucks...
Plucks for retro reliance..
*******
Muzzling…weasel hatchets meddling...
Diesel guzzling trucks..
Saluting high falutin polluting
Pander to propaganda pedaling..
Ratchets up our dander…
Open the ruddy window!
Have a bloody gander!

a cool, refreshing summer breeze you are
your smile is like the fresh breath of nature
quiets thoughts of you so near even when you are so far
alleviates the feelings of my wanting to meet the maker
your skin against mine is like a smooth motion massage
the warm rhythms of your touch relaxes my mental
totally eliminated is my self serving mirage
the sweet kiss of the reality of you makes life itself feel so gentle
the moonlight and the sunlight merge to construct the perfect election
all memories of you are so happy, peaceful, and whole
joyfully and gratefully resurrected is my long since hibernated ********
oh, how your unique creativity soothes my rejuvenated soul
my love for you is as natural as the perfect rain
how i so give God Thanks each and every night for your love and guidance taking away the strain

I really like to listen to music when I do home chores:
It inspires, motivates, relaxes, recharges me
Staying alone, I put headphones in and think
When it's bad, when it's good, painful, joyful,
When in doubtful, anxious and loneliness sets in
It helps thoughts flow in the right direction
That's the right thing I do, I feel smooth
I do this often when I cook scramble eggs
Music is my backgound sound to beat eggs
The scrumbled eggs were always delicious,
Juicy and tender to cook with some spices
Same with people nearby, music makes you aware
I always feel them so warm when I do the cooking
Music makes me feel considerate, bright and close
Just like music, the people and scrambled eggs
I always feel fascinated the things I love to do.

Rabbit was issued an invitation from the cucumber king
He could attend a spa, if he wore his red ruby ring
While rabbit was soaking in the sauna the ring got taken
I bet it’s the king, he thought; he was not mistaken
He was in a dilemma, for if he accused the king
Of not just taking, but stealing his red ruby ring
He might be flayed, beheaded or killed that day.
He decided to relax and enjoy the sauna; what the hay?

I am a cartoonist, this part of my life adds play to my day.
I paint these cartoons; painting delights me and relaxes me.
My poetry is goal-oriented, I have set a goal I force myself to meet.
I enjoy throwing words onto pages.
According to my husband, my writing is my best talent.
But cartooning and painting brings me the most joy.

sometimes i kiss the tip of a rainbow
golden maturity feels so ocean fresh
traces of lavender calms the vibe of overbearing reality
though time continues to be rebellious and uncaring
you provide a blanket of warmth that rehabilitates my sanity
everything slows down
your beautiful smile on my life feels so good
SHENIKA SIMS
sometimes i kiss the tip of a rainbow
knowledge, wisdom, and understanding freshly waters the vines of my personal growth
the sage burning in the air of everchanging times relaxes me to calm cool contentment
though time continues to coldly resist and frigidly obstruct
you provide the throw blanket of warmth that rehabilitates my sanity
everything feels copable
your beautiful heart's seashell rhythm in my right ear feels so good

never turning away from the gentle feeling of you
forever putting the sincerity of your love on a pedestal
that anne murray song in my head making me smile
cherishing each day mostly cherishing you most of all
this diamond ring always shines for me everyday
a song called my belle amie is an unexpected song that we dance to
the electric warmth of your affectionate touch feels as new as the first time i felt it
i cherish each day mostly cherishing you most of all
appreciating the simplicity of life with you
the beauty of you is like a gentle wind in the center of God's Creations
as i hold you close enjoying the vibe similar to a flaming ember,
another song relaxes our mentals....all mind, body and soul with a love that will never grow old
forever we cherish each day mostly cherishing each other most of all....

He stands behind her
His hand reaching out
To move her hair to the side
And place his hand on
Her shoulder
Yet she moves a few step forward
Before he’s able to do so
The woman glances behind her
And feels a cold sensation
When he touches her
Yet all she can see is
Air
She kneels down at the tombstone
And gently places the bouquet
Of roses on the grass
Then sits on a nearby stump
And begins to talk to the gravestone
The husband listens to every
Word
And though he wishes
He could speak
And comfort her
He does not
He’s just a ghost after all
The figure of her vanishes
And the husband is thrust back
By invisible forces
He closes his eyes as
His body relaxes
And lands on soft clouds
He looks ahead at
The staircase leading to heaven
The golden doors ready
To welcome him in
Somewhere down below
His wife is at peace too

If sleep was a meal I’d be starving
Malnourished despite my carving
Out a routine for sleep in my bed
Pen in hand and sandy words in head
For poetry soup soothes my soul
Relaxes my mind helps me grow
Challenging me to write all night
Since I’m not asleep may as well right
Write what’s wrong from my view
Write whats right also a to do
Finally my muse comes for me
Just as I feel the feathers of sleep

You glow
so brightly I am blinded
by your pureness
almost
so white
It spills from my throat
three simple words
it burns
yet
relaxes me so
Your love communion
I take like a drug
never enough
never full
I am left alone
no hand to hold
I tried to show
there's good in the world
I gave you my all
you gave me nothing at all
so all
that is
left
is my love
communion I offer you
but you slap it from my cold hands
and walk away
with
her instead
