Hey Jeff, that's your fourth cup of Joe! 
I can't help it. I feel sluggish and slow.
I've had four up at top,
But not even one drop
Has arrived at my stomach below....

Perfection

It is NOT a perfect world
and perfection is overrated
Embrace your 'natural'
individuality
and be loved!

It should be a snow day

I wait, and I wait
To receive a call
You need not come in
For, cold and snowfall
I wait, and I wait
Yet phone, didn’t ring
I brushed off the snow
And now my hands sting

And now the time is here...
I love my lady,the one of my heart,
so dear!

Your caring heart is but my
needing...
Ever since our
first chanced meeting.

When'st our glance,first did meet...
I knew that our futured love
was ever as sweet as neat!

Time Stood Still

It's amazing, how slow a week can seem
then looking back, in time; where has it gone
the bridges burned and I have learned in deed
that what is right; time holds, where I belong
and I wonder, if I, can still be strong

Listen to poem:

Mr. Thomas Jeffrey Hanks,
Was known to pull off desk pranks,
I told him, "Three bags."
He said, "From those hags."
One heard, said, "No tip, so thanks!"



***Under his breath, he tells me, "Oh yeah! I gave them their tip, alright!"

Yesteryou

Never Underestimate
All the things that make you great
And never let yourself believe
You are any less
Than who you are

Always let yourself be proud
Do your best and you’ll astound
There’s no one else you need to beat
But, yesteryou

And you, will be your best by far

Love

Do you believe?
You deserve to be loved
Do you believe?
It’s about give and take

In, and of itself
Deserve; is a selfish word
And no one ‘deserves’ to be loved

But, to give
Unconditionally

You Deserve
To Love
Another

And with truth
May you reap in all you sow

Choices

When I’m quiet
Do you talk to me?
If I’m distant
Do you leave me alone?
When we talk
Can you understand me?
When I speak
Do you care?

Or, do you look me in the eye,
And ask
“Are you okay?”

Cause I am choosing
Whom, I want
To be a part of my life

And I will choose
Only love

I Am

I am keeping my perspective, I am

Lifting others up, I am
Offering my assistance, I will
Value truth in love
Everyday, I will be the best that I can, I am

Keeping my perspective, I am
Evolving in the heart, I am
Living every moment, I am
Loving every day, I am
Yearning, for the one, that loves me still

A Plea For Kindness

Parched is my skin
Longing for touch
Every nerve is so aware
Ashamed, alone
Stifling thoughts
Encroaching; in my despair

Hurting inside
Unloved, I cry
Gossip, is haunting me

Melancholic nights
Embracing my soul; with pleas

Thirty pounds in sixty days
That how much less Jeffrey weighs
Burning all those calories
Should have slowed the global freeze
Missy’s joined the weight loss scene
She is looking fit and lean
We can press, continue on
All the cheesecake bites are gone
Shadows of our former selves
Someone slap those Keebler elves
Got another ten to go
Someone hide the cookie dough...

I haven’t a clue
What I will write
‘Tis not morning
Nor is it night

I’m at a junk yard
Waiting on a Lyft
Heading up north
To turn that, to this

Lyft got cancelled 
Oh woe is me 
What will I do
What will it be

Alas...

My ride 
Is Mr. Jeffrey
I haven’t met him
Nor he, me

It won’t be till 5
But that is alright
I’m heading up north
To make things all right...

They lived by the sword and they died by the sword

Sadaam Hussein
Osama Bin Laden
Jeffrey Dahmer

They didn’t live by the sword but died by the sword

Mahatma Gandhi
Martin Luther King
Trayvon Martin
Jesus Christ

A dichotomy, whose mystery is known only to the whim of human affairs.

~ To the Melody of 'Yankee Doodle' ~


   My friend Jeffrey Kyser's on a roll
     His poetry will fill your soul
   Let reading him be your main goal
     Just lie down on a grassy knoll...

      Jeffrey Kyser, he's the best
      All his poems pass the test
      When you feel a tad depressed
        ~ Kyser rolls I do suggest

'Coming Home'


What is true is real, but not always meant to be
What is real is not always, love should always be

     Faithful in devotion, to see, though you’re not seen
     To leave their cage wide open: set their spirit free

But when I had my freedom;  love was not the same
Desire, was not pleasing; Only brought more shame

     And now, I find you, waiting; all this time for me

Everything Happens for a Reason

The reason for where you are
is not because, it is where you are meant to be.
Rather, the choices you have made, 
along the way,
as this "everything" had happened to be.

The reason for who you are
is not because, it is who you are meant to be.
Rather, the choices you will make, 
along the way,
as with "everything": I AM, because of me.
