Brown late winter slush
Wrapping roads in lukewarm hugs
Gloomily cozy...

lukewarm
The important thing is to be clean....

To keep warm not hot
I’m pushed on the back burner
Lukewarm love turns cold

A drink of Summer,
strawberry lemonade skies;
Crushed ice left refreshed;
Lukewarm waves grow into flames 
becoming a bit sultry....

fiery romance lusts
blood in your veins that's lukewarm
can we just be friends

A common man with bad intent,
 can damage and do harm

But a genius with an evil heart
—makes hell-fire seem lukewarm

Santa was lost in the storm
So, he looked for a place to stay warm
He sat in the snow
Fell straight through the floor
Into a fire place with the named lukewarm...

Lukewarm emotionless
Unsympathetic reception
To requests made by my
Heart to yours 
Hardened reaction 
Blinded by past hurts
Deaf to my Cry's 
Unbending resentment
Has overthrow love...

I press my face 
against 
the window glass
like a small fish 
in a large fish tank
looking out

swimming  
in lukewarm water 
watching 
the outside world
rush by

without a wave...

What is it about the sight of the female form
That turns us to hot jelly from a tepid lukewarm
We fumble and fuss
Our complexion gets flushed
As we anticipate the approaching thunderstorm...

Aha! Exercise... I thought you said extra fries!
Rather have extra fries, but can cause larger thighs
So I must conform
To which I'm lukewarm
Must pay attention or cause my premature demise...

Her love was insipid
It was lukewarm and murky
His heart sipped it
Spat it out and rinsed it 
Cleansed itself
Removed
All traces of insipidity
Murkiness and acidity
Disguised as love
Dripping from a broken heart...

Sitting here on this stoop
My mind is a hollowed husk
My heart a lukewarm soup
Cooling off with the dusk

Petting my old black cat
I watch the rising full moon
Thinking I’ll never top that
I remember it’s only June....

Faith
fervent, bold
searching, hearing, obeying
Moses, David, Saul, Goliath
hardening, rebelling, questioning
lukewarm, haughty
Incredulity

she was lukewarm
he was a grill fire
both of them under a shared starlight

he poured her whisky-soaked coke
she drank it like weak lemonade
this made him bolder
yet her steely blues eyes
grew coldly

now older
all he has is a simmering memory,
on his backburner....

I cannot see
the future,
be it bleak or beautiful,
it's lost deep in the stars
of eternity......
earth cannot see into it's vastness,
the geologists warn,
the palm reader predicts,
duo lukewarm
authorities.
And the foretelling is absorbed
through a soft sponge of completeness....

let
me
taste you 
head to toe,
just like forked lightning
tastes air, if you feel so inclined.
please allow me to savor your saccharine sweetness;
you're much like lukewarm honey oozing generously into my salivating tongue!

Our Witness
12/6/2021
Miracle Man

We can be a glowing ember,
or conversely, a crackling fire.
The choices we make without Jesus,
seldom bring, the life we desire.
If our witness has become lukewarm,
being no longer cold or hot.
The witness for Jesus once given us,
is wasted and gone for naught.

Those silent flowers, they swell. Setting sun, open hand, clasp one by one, exposing none. Blooming figures, constrained, slight stems, Oh so fragile, resigned, alluring blend. Winds rock, gusts scream. Fragmented petals drift side by side like their swan they say goodbye. Until soft breezes, lukewarm skies, begets the silent flowers rise...

Breaking a habit to breaking a rule.
Breaking a rule, shooting a muel.
Breaking a habit like nightly drool.

If I were to jump, but you placed the stool;
Will you have delved into a lukewarm pool?
Or might you've sat back and acted all cool?

'Spose I should know it'd be breaking a rule.
But breaking a habit isn't breaking a rule....

exhausted by all the bull***t talk

by all the mindless blabber over lukewarm coffee

about this and about that 

and about who's f***ing who

but all that doesn't mean a damn thing to me

and though blind i may be

some things even i see

and in times like these i wish no one harm

but i also wish to be left alone

to just be

screwed-up old me......
