Often times she'd need to feel specail.
She'd dress up in a make up and a white gown
and tip toe
around falling to the gentlemens lap
saying foolish things to get him
to pitty her.
'Wealthy men often found her company
and she'd use these oppurtunities to belittle our togetherness.
"our Big Show's"
Became shing -dings" She refused to reherst when she
didn't have the center stage.
And to hear him fuse with her was often forbiddened as
she was looking for a man. Someone
to be her thang and sounding like
lovers on stage jived with what her evenings
should have been. We worked with her. Cursinbg at the same time. When the opp came to shine we looked her for guidance and to be a shining star. If only the words could seep into where she'd understand them.
For Steve Lyman
Is there a way to stop tomorrow
My heart will be full of sorrow
When a new angel gets his wings
As his soul goes up and brings
Rainclouds of unhappy tears
Drowning my heart with the fears
That my bestie is really gone
In his new and happy home
But those rainclouds will soon show
A bright colorful rainbow
Shing with the colors of
Pooh bears heart and all his love
Letting his friends know down here
His memories won't disappear
We are in a doctor’s waiting room.
A child’s cell phone is out; the sounds drive me batty.
Botta Bing Botta Bing
Ding Sing Shing Wing Ding
How does this child’s parent stand it?
I wish the child’s parent would put a stop to it.
I do not say a word, knowing people the way I do.
I wonder which adult is the parent.
The woman on her left or the man on her right.
They do not seem to hear the
Botta Bign Botta Bing Ding Sing Shing Wing Ding.
A door opens. A woman comes out.
She yells at the child “I told you to turn that sound off!”
Aha, her mother is here and I am glad.
a fondness
a suttle glance
a need to be with you
wanna take ah chance
the right night
saying the right words
listening to your every word
it's all about love
can we stop them
from meddling
it's like trrying to
make the sun from shing
we just endure it all
we'll just endure it all
so we can be together
promise me you
won't frown again
promise me
everyday our love just begens
keep me cool
in tough situations
The name had left me in a moment of astonishment
and there was so much more to know of ‘Tardigrada’
Roly-poly moss piglets or chubby bears of the water
Death-defying wee manatees, living in worlds liquid
If one could slow right down to live so long, would I
go into hibernation, rise years later to resume living,
rage at the changes wrought, while I was a dreamer,
ache in longing, for loved ones, now dusting the sea...?
Denied perfect conditions, they hang on, suspended
Eden found, they'll die in two years, of well-lived life
(7/27/2020: '84 Kha Shing; Bethel)
He stood in the middle of
The ring and asked the
Members of The
Right Stuff inc.
To stop the B.S.
And start making things
Right for the people.
In his lavish robe
And pink mask
Ghetto Sushi
Said if it comes to
Wrestling he'd out
Wrestle them
If it came to
Brawling he'd
Out Brawl them
He spoke about
Being first in line
And having his
Back turned to
All the hungry
Wolves, he scared
The micro phone
Interveiwee when
He started speaking
About things he didn't
Understand saying
Miss Tusslers baby boy
Was a champion
People the world over
Loved and admired him
Miss Tussler and Big Meanie
Liked nice things but they
Didn't like you
MissTussler liked cool people
But they didn't like you.
I use to think Big Meanie
And Miss Tussler were
Bad people til I meet you
Ghetto Sushi say
Miss Tussler beat that
Ass and Ghetto Suchi
Gonna beat that ass too!
Ghetto Sushi represents
Clean areas and living
Responsibly The star
Shing bright in
The big sky
Ghetto Sushi
Ah Superstar a
Bright light among
The night a sample
Of what greatness is
I am Ghetto Sushi
The Greatest of Altime!
The Holy Spirit
Out of heaven sent down for those to help teach
Some have seen it in the form of a white dove
This was left on the day of Pentecost for all believer's
To learn the great love from the father with love
A great memory of charm so sound the alarm
The prophets foretold it's appearing while the faithful are disappearing,
Shades of white & a hint of shing grey
We shall humbly receive as we bow the knee to pray
It's the peace that passes all understanding
For a world torn to black opposition
Shattered glass through the stained glow appeal
The Holy Spirit is brought into each prayer meeting
It's in the mist of the dew with the changing of the season
We hear that soft still voice out of Jesus from heaven
The symbol of a white dove carrying an olive branch
It's found on the faces of a distant child in waiting
Fallen embers all a glow nothing shady often exchanging
It speaks of love as a respectful teacher
The father, son & holy spirit
There is no reason to retreat yet to calmly stay peaceful & fear it
tidy floral rows
stark ragged dandelion
shears’ hungry maw gapes
shing!
have a care; it will regrow
unlike your delicate bloom
surprised, you look down
your prize tulip’s roots mingled
with this intruder
woven inextricably
gleaming shears look quite hungry

I will be the souls on your feet
I will be what path you choose
I will be your hearts retreat
I will be your muse
I will be that special someone
I will be there any time or place
I will be that person you can rely on
I will be your saving grace
I will be your shing knight
I will be strength if you are weak
I will be there day or night
I will be whatever it is you seek
I will be shelter if you want to hide
I will be there in your hour of need
I will be forever by your side
I will all of what you now read
I rewrote this babe from a different perspective especially for you
An extension of other writes with you without you
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I wonder and I wander the opposite how I would be towards you
Why because your my life my everything babe I love you dawn xx

Slang Or common talk
Yay all knows that peoples talk funny
If yous are from the south.
They cut off the lights and jaw jack alls night long.
If youns need to find something.
We cans find it down the road a piece or maybe over yawner.
So if you think I talk funny or in slang.
You alls need to catch the seconds of taters and grits and pig fat.
You alls come back now you hear.
And yes bring granny and the boys well have a shing dig.
FYI: I justed wanted to try some onomatopoeia, my first time really using it.
Thump thump thump
My feet upon the stone
Ba-boom Ba-boom Ba-boom
My heart as I run
Clank clank clank
Enemy armor upon the stone
Huff huff huff
Enemy breathing as they run
Shing!
My blade unsheathed
Clash!
Goes our swords
Thud
Falls his head
Thump thump thump
My feet upon the stone
Ba-boom ba-boom ba-boom
My heart as I run
Squeal
Goes the princess
Smooch
Upon my cheek
Da da dun da da dun da da dun
Goes the end credits
michael kissed me
he pulled the love from me
beneath a thousand shing eyes
our audience agreed
of our first love
two hearts emerging
from untrod paths
True, one night
I saw a shing being
up, there in sparkle
winkling at me
as my joy lit
thoght he stay with me
when the morning came
i see all cloudy blue
True, one day
i saw a shadow being
walking with me
his step were echoesd of my steps
bending bowing he was
when night came
i see all darky mood
