Today's forecast comes
from Gobblers knob near Pittsburgh.
Phil saw his shadow.

Love
  it's telescope
  sighting
  long range ...

  It's microscope
  seeing
  what nobody sees ...

  It's magnifying glass
  that increases
  the chances and the
  sense of the word
  living ...!...

In spite of the news, it's time for some giggles
Forget about threats of long range missiles
Just chuckle and yee haw
Don't you worry, pshaw
The guys in charge are definitely infantile kiddles...

Is there color in the sky?
Is there light in the night?
Today will we try?
Focus our sight on what's right.

Baby steps may falter, but are taken!
A long-range goal may be glimpsed
Through the misty morning and night forsaken
Climb up and smile, I insist!...

Long range shot
Four hundred and ten yards
Almost touching distance by magnification

The target there - be careful
Taking note of wind drift
Now another click

Steady
Be steady 
A most gentle squeeze on the trigger

A good shot ,target hit and down
The man who was he ?
What was his name?...

I loved her sorrows.
We shared a mask
that we spoke through -
a mail-box for wordless hungers.

Passion maimed us,
even I shed tears sensing
a Puccini last act.

She read herself in my face;
I gave her long-range forecasts.

She endured –
desperately believing
that I would always be there
to mop up....

I fell in love with her sorrows. 
We shared a mask that we spoke through,
a mail-box for wordless hungers. 
Passion maimed us,
even I shed tears, sensing
a Puccini last act approaching.

She read herself in my face.
I gave her news;
long-range forecasts
of more disappointments to come.
She phoned her mom....

A good player in six feet tall
So expert to catch and dribble
Before shooting smartly that ball
A good player in six feet tall
For long range throws he’ll get them all
Earning points- triple and double
A good player in six feet tall
Has no fouls- he’s incredible!

Lissome blossom, 
Look that shook,
Exchange on a long range,
Embrace with grace,
Kiss as if a bliss,
Infection of affection,
Dove like love,
Life without strife,
Material as well as immaterial,
Its flow sweet slow,
Rare care,
Together with no bother,
Understanding outstanding,
Happy and zappy,
They lived sipping nectar forever....

Pass on, pass on, why delay
To give to others who pray,
For what you have?
It's like a healing salve
Bringing them joy and peace.
Can't you share your piece;
Let the blessings flow through
To others God has brought to you?
Pray to see a plan
Matters not, women, child or man,
Nor short or long range goal,
But have one; to help a soul!...

We shared a mask that we spoke through,
a mail-box for wordless hungers. 

Passion maimed us,
even I shed tears, sensing

She read herself in my face.

but she insisted in her desperate belief

that I would always be around

Long-range forecasts
predict outbreaks of pretty weather girls.
In the event of short-range predictions,
some ugly guy may be substituted.
In the case of an emergency,
mice may seek the sheltering wings
of owls and hawks.
By midnight, the total destruction
of garden gnomes is anticipated.
Survivors are asked to remain
in their bathtubs
until absolutely clean....

The long-range forecast's looking good;
I've something special planned.
My phone's a crystal ball and so
The weather's right at hand.

I wish there were an app like that
To let me know in life
If certain days would bring me joy
And others only strife.

Or would I really want to know?
And also, though we long
For info on the future, there's
A likelihood it's wrong!...

Lastly she phoned her mom;
she alone on that stage
she had erected for all such
one act
theatrical performances....

Contemplating world condition
  seems like a science fiction.

Putin playing Dr. Strangelove
  long range bombers above.

Even America has a role
  some long ago foretold.

Now, Mars seems nice
  better than Earth's ice.

Nations rebuilding their military
  coming invasions look scary.

Even ISIL rapidly popped up
  causing more chaos to erupt.

The world stage is being set
  these catastrophic threats.

So, who is he
  we all hear to be?...

Life Changes
Written: by Miracle Man
1/8/2021

Each decade toted with it a serious life shift,
at first my exuberance gift wrapped them in a haze.
With changes so subtle my boat began to drift,
I encountered periods of boredom and malaise.

But as clock passed, each decade seemed to worsen,
Now I reminisce of times when pain was strange.
Today I fight feeling like an old displaced person,
thoughts lingering on the past and not long range.

The kiss was of passion
Desire, hot and strong
Staying in my memory
Long after we were gone

We talked of many things
Long into the night
Holding and caressing
Exploring delight

And when we parted
I thought nothing had changed
Our hearts seemed bound
For something long range

But a kiss of deception
Still holds a lie
And the abruptness of the ending
Is killing me inside

A kiss of betrayal
The bond came unwound
The last kiss received
Was one that let me down...
