Imagine That...
Kitty Cat's Got Claws
Kitty Cat's Got Bite
Kitty Cat Needs Tomcat
To Stroke Her Fur at Night!
Oh Yes That Cat...
Kitty Cat Sunk Claws
Kitty Cat Would Bite
Kitty Cat Scratched Tomcat
And Scratched That Cat Right!
Now Imagine This!...
Kitty Cat Don't Scratch
Kitty Cat Don't Fight
Kitty Cat "Ate" Tomcat
Right Down to the Last Bite!

There ….yonder…
Don’t you see?
Right down the bluff
across from the canopy of trees
past a pool of stagnant waters
overrun by reeds and wild flowers.
Yes, right over there…
is a range of lush rolling hills
as if wrapping blue sky in its folds.
A mantle of lazy mist hovers over the peaks
unsure to linger around or move on.
Hands of teasing breeze sweep
over the leaves tickling them
to giggle and quiver in sheer delight,
and a bunch of bawdy birds playing
tag-and-run between flower-laden boughs.
Sitting far above
on the balcony in your wheelchair
you can feel it all
in your soul
if only you dare to look over there…
Close your eyes and see!

anxiety eats me alive
right down to the core
where my soul and mind meet
it’s always at war
it’s rotten, decaying
losing worth like a dime
10 cents to a nickel
a penny, with time
the gut wrenching feeling
won’t go away
for better or for worse
push though day by day
but how can i live
with this knife in my chest
it’s hard to breathe
and leaves me restless
when will it get better?
medication will do
let’s drug you up
silence your mind too
a walking zombie
no feeling or care
just a lifeless body
with hurt and despair
anxiety eats me alive
right down to the core
rotten like an apple
it’s hard to ignore.

Pointed toes and such perfect lines,
a pristine storm we know the signs.
Flashing eyes and a soothfast scream
sharp pulses control your bloodstream.
Partner work always requires trust,
just a bit more than once discussed.
Allowing yourself to bend and fall,
like a princess at the masked ball.
This gentleman with a soft hand,
moving so fast I barely stand.
More stamina used than a quip
twirling me down for that slow dip.
In a twist dancing with cyclones,
I feel it right down to my bones.

Been blessed with a very sensitive nose
Drawn to ladies who smell like a rose
An intense attraction
As I leap into action
Shivering and shaking right down to my toes

True happiness resides within each of us
We alone are responsible for our own well being
It is so easy to blame external forces, people, or events
But the bottom line is, we're the ones steering the ship
We're the Captain, the First Mate
Right down to the deckhand swabbing the deck
So here's my advise to all you nice people
Always, always think positive
The dark days are only temporary
Believe me, life is always about ups and downs
Endure the bad days... enjoy the good days

I held on for dear life, my confidence so low.
It was like holding onto a knife as I looked down below
I knew the way out and yet I was lost
In my heart was only doubt and at such a cost
But I will not quit as I grab on even more tight
But even I admit, I have such little might
But I know what I need to do for I know where I am at
I know I need to be true and that’s just that
You think I’d have known all these years a long
Everything I’ve been shown, you’d think I’d be strong
You’d think I would know right down to the last detail
Yet I never did really grow in being so frail
But it’s not about me is the answer that I get
For God‘s grace is free, no matter what may beset
Just keep on trying, God will do the rest
But I’m not lying when I say this is my toughest test

What you don't know about writing
is that it doesn't know you,
until the two of you are willing
to stew a mess of your own -
brewing your blood's greatest enigmas
right down to its own bone marrow -
why not say hello,
at least?

Pulchritudinous Angel
Amazing and beautiful,
not a flower or a tree.
Much prettier than that,
and only I can see.
The angel high shining like a star
Loving and caring
right down to the core.
Filling me with happiness
and so much more.
Eyes are so stunning,
cannot look away.
Gorgeous and shining
all throughout the day.
Here in your arms
is where I belong.
The beating of your heart will be
like a beautiful song.

Surrounded by peeling wallpaper
it’s a picture of provocation;
These holes tended to terrify her.
Spots that need so much renovation
must be rebuilt right down to the core;
There’s happiness in new construction.
You’ve got an idea what’s in store,
once the soul is restored to this house;
An antique knob attached to the door.
Enough beauty to instantly rouse
a blend called American Bauhaus.

Poor guy fell right down and broke his wrist

Chubby's wrist is sure sore

The sun is shining and your hand’s in mine.
For the first time in days I feel fine.
I hear your laughter and a smile’s on my face
What more can I say?
It’s a very good day!
The sky is clear, there’s no trace of clouds.
We stroll along among a friendly crowd.
We listen to a street musician play.
What more can I say?
It’s a very good day!
We cross the street, my arm ‘round your hips.
I feel happy right down to my fingertips.
We both can feel it, there’s no need to explain.
What more can I say?
It’s a very good day!
The world spins joyfully beneath us.
Birds fly through a brilliant blue.
Fragrant breezes swirl around us
And it’s all meant for just me and you.
The sun is shining from high up above.
And I’ve got you, my one and only love.
I feel like dancing, let the music play.
What more can I say?
It’s a very good day!

Skin white like milk
Hair that shines like silk.
Lips a red as a glass of wine
Eyes the sparkle and shine
Body with curves so sexy and sweet
Legs so long and slender
Butt so tight and tender
Perfect in every way, right down to her feet
Of all the women throughout the land
I wish I could hold you in my hand
A vision of beauty, a wonderful sight.
I am glad I met her that cold December night.
Friends may come, friends my go
You are my friend, this friendship will grow
All I want is for the world to see
Just how special she is to me
Friends’ forever Nika you and me
No longer ships that passed in the sea

"...in spring, the most delicate feathery yellow of plumes and plumes and plumes and trees and bushes of wattle, as if angels had flown right down out of the softest gold regions of heaven to settle here, in the Australian bush."
— D. H. Lawrence, Kangaroo
Paraboloid totems of evergreen hope, upside down,
Sparkling white trinkets, sparkling white dears;
‘What do we need to do now?’
You ask;
I got my husband’s winged blue stone gift around my neck, a dragonfly,
Isn’t my green dress an ornamental kingly shroud?
Both stormy and luminous, the cuts on my arms are still caked in dried blood,
You are sad: your heart bleeds into mine with a bit of emerald dust and ruby red sunrises;
The Doctor is the Rose; I am the Flame
You are all marble, Plato, self-contained,
I am grotesque, decaying, Lilith-born,
My scars are trim poodles
Whose slightly wolfish eyes
Will bleed a blazing cornucopia of yellow wattle sprigs;
Doctor, your heart is a gold mine and joyous as Spring

To break out of complacency
To feed the fire you placed in me
To move the heart and change the mind
And let my light shine
To reach out for the maximum
That graces, I will lack for none
In searching I will always find
And let my light shine
To push aside the dark
In every human heart
And shine for all to see
The light of you in me
The doldrums bear such awful fruits
They poison right down to the roots
And pull us ways we’re not designed
But let your light shine
For down you go, but you won’t stay
He takes that gravity away
And you can leave it all behind
And let your light shine
To push aside the dark
In every human heart
And shine for all to see
The light of you in me
Every night ends with the rising of the sun!
Every night ends at the rising of the Son!
