He's my everything...

Who Is Your Issue WithYou think weakness admits its flaws
that’s why you don’t correct yours
attempting progress stuck on pause
back towards the done befores
Destined by the lack of vision
superstition on a mission
when the intellect is missing
say your prayers keep on wishing
But you don’t hit your enemy
never where they’re meant to be...

EVERHEART-EVER HEART
Every heart surely beats;
Every step our soles meet;
We are walking on rainbow; streets of gold;
Soul empathy, ever heart
Our voice assurance;
We lift up God whose current;
In my mind;
In my heart;
He us love incarnate;
And my praise,
shall lift Him up;
Open up my mouth;
A praise and shout;
My Father's Ever Heart;

You are a Metaphoryou are a gentle breeze
a cocktail with antifreeze
an approaching sneeze
or a winter storm
three standard deviations from the norm
four sheets to the wind
and I think your rook is pinned
are you a ghostly mist
or a clenched fist?
I know you are a metaphor
I don't know what for...

His Last 8 SecondsThe only child
but favorite
of two ‘outlaws’
mare and stud
He bucked each
gelded moment
on their wild ride
of love
Until that day
he up and left
their branding iron
of pain
To wander high
and lonesome
mongst the free
and tumbling sage
In search of one
last bronc to mount
that one last
horn to make
And spur the wreckage
of his youth
as Angels
— pull the Gate
(Pendleton Round-Up:...

and the good guys lostand the good guys lost
all of us "got feet of clay
we are tainted, corrupted
and who of us will not say
"no, not me, I will be trusted"
we've come a long way, 'never stay too long
we'll have the last word if only to be wrong
evolution has gone to hell
myopic, fighting for peace
ev'ry sucker for himself

Robert Louis Stevenson - 1850-1894
In an old-time real-book-with-pages feel in his day,
Robert Louis Stevenson wrote 'Treasure Island',
in his own inimitable way,
and tho' I know I may be wrong,
he could not have been pulling Long John Silver's leg,
as John would not have had a leg to stand on,
for, with his crutch (plus parrot), and I quote,
'He had still a foot...

Geronimo - 1829-1909
1905
Geronimo went to Washington
to meet the Great White Father
(where he hoped to bury the hatchet)
and save his Indian Nation...
checking into his hotel, the desk clerk asked,
"Do you have a reservation?"
The perfect poker face when playing cards
(his guards were nearly always broke)
said to be blood-thirsty, his winnings used he
to pay for educating children of the Apache.
He...

You may say I'm crazy
but as it takes one to know one
do you have what I've got
if I am are you too
and am I nuts to think I'm not
the shrink he's not telling
despite all my yelling
he only asks how it makes me feel
it's quite a strain on the brain
is he really and truly for real

A Ticklish Situation
Call me fickle
no doubt about it
I’m in a pickle
a firkin full of gherkin
quite a quandary
tho' still a dill
the question isn’t funny
it’s ridiculous
others may tickle us
yet I don’t see
for love nor money
why I can’t tickle me

Playful Scene
Act one had just begun
on the day we met
how was I to know the die was cast
and the stage was set
Act two what was I to do
when you stole my soul
who'd have guessed the part was mine
and I would play a leading role
Act three now you're with me
I put my heart into all I do
should...

SpaceI live alone in outer space.
Which costs less than a city place.
I like to eat donuts, but they don’t exist here.
On this planet which is covered in slime and fear.
I live alone or maybe not.
Maybe the extraterrestrial beings will leave me to rot.
I don’t know how to hunt and gather.
In a place where there’s no...

Panic Attacks - Irrational Me
Rational me is capable and whole
Irrational me has complete lack of control
Rational me is happy and relaxed
Irrational me panics and cracks
Rational me views life in a positive light
Irrational me battles crippling fear without hope in sight
Rational me makes the most of every day
Irrational me wants to sleep the day away
Rational me is clear...has clarity
Irrational...

DaffodilsYellow daffodils upon a hill,
Standing strong in their will,
Letting their colors spill,
Filling the space with grace,
Brightening up the place,
Chasing the sun,
Having fun in the breeze,
A pleasing sight,
I stop to share my light,
They grow just right,
They don't fight or meddle,
Perfection in every pedal,...

There's a First Time for EverythingAnd there you were in front of me
Standing in full view
A floral dress and comfy shoes
That first time I saw you
And then that night you came to me
From no where so it seemed
I don't know why, but it was nice
That first time that I dreamed
And then one day I found us there
Together...
