Perfume of tremendous worth,
Emptied from an airtight jar,
Left a sweet fragrance in the air,
As roses on a spring morn.
Promptly brought a harsh rebuke,
Labeled as a wasteful sin.
Others had an insightful view,
It’s too precious to contain.
Basic goods must always flow,
Not withheld with selfish greed,
By the “haves” from the “have not” poor
We must respond to their need.
If they are hungry, feed them,
If thirsty, provide them drink,
If in need of dress, then clothe them.
Be a good neighbor, love them.
Blessings in an airtight jar,
Won’t grace those in poverty.
The Lord’s way is better by far,
Share blessings unselfishly.
Inspired by Mattew 25: 31-46

Today i bought myself a present
A Bell,
A Bell
To wear around my neck
To remind me to ring yours
Like you ring mine
Ring,
Ring
Wink,
Wink
Hubba,
Hubba
If you know what i mean
Bump into you later Tinkerbell
Love Big Ben

As a brisk breeze followed us to the sea
we felt rejuvenated, young, and free.
And stars lit the heavens in sheer delight
smiling on two lovers who owned the night.
Together we sent prayers to God above
asking Him to bless the fruit of our love.
And without trickery or deception
we both made love dreaming of conception.
When our two souls melded, two became three
consisting of you, the baby, and me.
But when you felt our child stir in your womb,
you shut me out, claiming you need your room.
This cruel betrayal was planned ahead,
for what once was ours became yours instead.
And my broken heart was ground into dust
when you insisted love was merely lust.
I'll haunt the fringes of your existence
hated for my undying persistence.
And yet, I will not leave him to your whim
for I'm his father; you cannot hide him.
I'm drowning in an ocean of despair,
you took a part of me and didn't care.
And molding the life you selfishly stole,
you deny my right to touch his soul.

How selfishly I blink my eyes to see
When morning sun does stand upon our bed,
And full of self, so wholly happily,
I turn to watch you sink, you sleepyhead.
Two very selfish lovers, yes, are we,
Who love our sleeping more than all who live,
And by our waking light of certainty
Ensure ourselves sex-holy nights to give.
Ah, sun, go off, go down, pass on,
And let the day be ever-ling'ring dawn,
For under-selfishness can never be
While lovers two are true as she and me.
And now I dream to see her open eyes,
And day is real, and selfish very wise.
