Staring at the blue
imperfections in my eyes
like static pops
swirls and tweeks
wisp creatures contour my eyeballs
like another universe unveiled
between the what is and what ifs
The Ifs of Life
Daddy always used to say:
Ifs are like the tower of Babylon,
They can’t get you anywhere.
Only by the facts of a life can one get
From here to there.
A verse from my poem, “Daddy Always Used To Say.”
Life should never include ifs, ands, or butts
Especially the butts, they're made for those who lust
There's something about anuses
Attached to gorgeous waitresses
Maintain your composure, remain calm you must
Some days are diamond, some days are diamonds
Hey wait! Somethings wrong, each man is an island
What's good for some
Some fall on their bum
For me, it's diamonds, no ifs, ands, or hyphens
(Hyphens? Well it sorta rhymes doesn't it!!!)
I Want to live this world amazingly
But the habit of overthinking
Has been making things messy
The what ifs are being overpowered
The big childhood dreams
Are being shattered
It's like living in a time loop
An unstoppable droll
To which I must reroute
Some days are diamonds, some days are diamonds
Hey wait! Somethings wrong, each man is an island
What's good for some
Some fall on their bum
For me, it's diamonds, no ifs, ands, or hyphens

Listen to poem:
swirl round and round
in my night skies
drifting off
soon out of sight
vanishing without a chance
as if they never were
and then when things go numb
i reinvent new bubbles to launch
with no trace of illusion

The jig was up
and the seller got the shaft
as the fletcher (all a-quiver)
pricing feathers (more arrows for to craft)
saw the target total cost (legal tender)
as sky-high (yet altho' not immoral)
let fly and shot his bolt (at the vender)
which started quite the quirky quarrel
Regret is my hopeful desert
Blooming prickly sorrows
Larger than saguaros
What ifs as vultures fly
As virga clouds pass by
Watering lapis mirages
Flowing to retro success
In a palm-limned oasis
Of dream-filled love and embraces
‘Til what ifs disappear with dawn
In time to rouse and mow my lawn
So many IFS
If the world had been more caring
If we had been less selfish
If the world had been at peace
If Palestine had been free
If Israel had not adapted the Nazi regime
If we had shown more respect
If hatred had been less
If we had more passion for what’s right
If, by law, we could stop wars.
If nature had been taken care of
There might be a chance for those
Coming after us.
Worrying About What If’s
Miracle Man
November 24th 2023
Many fret about things,
before they occur.
This tends to drive me,
straight up the wall.
This practice can cause,
my words to slur,
Please wait until it happens,
before you call.
“Worry cannot solve one problem,
Or add one cubit to my day.
Things in life that I can’t handle
Jesus always knows the way”
Tom
If
only,
is the sigh-
self-centredness
cry
If
only,
look at me-
what do others
see
If
only,
I could give-
my selfishness
lives
If
only,
I could die-
desperation's
cry
If
only,
do not buy-
the deceiver's
lie
If
only,
listen up-
drink now of my
cup
If
only,
turn around-
seek the solid
ground
If
only,
hold my hand-
we''ll sit,walk then
stand
If
only,
born anew-
with perspective's
view
If all the ifs and buts were laid
end to end round the world, I have
been told by a knowledgeable
scientist, they would circumnavigate
at least once or twice or three times.
Uncertain this statement is but it goes
to show if anyone did know for
certain, would it matter.
Procrastination picks its wasteful
effect through our lives, steals
moments which would be decisive.
But what causes this uncertainty,
anxiety and being afraid to go for it.
If we only knew.
