When the I’d rathers
Outweigh and over shadow
Now’s necessities

Two basic necessities
Two contrasting realities
Time neither pauses nor stops
Space neither alters nor moves

Nightmares and daydreams
They but stall your climb, stick to
Bare necessities
Of a centered heart and mind
Building dreams in the moment...

Three necessities 
Hope, Faith and love within you
Hold on to them tight
Believe they will guide your path
You have to believe in something....

Almost everything is gone
necessities are becoming memories;
areas of the rich
resorting to one pedicure a month,
could it get any worse?
houses sold for next to nothing,
young people lost in the crisis...

What we want
And what we need
Are two, quite different things

But it’s not  
Just those necessities
Which tug, at our heart strings

Rather, it’s the want 
We just can’t do, without
And the happiness, it brings

Groovin’ on Rondelets,
I find this short form amusing and intriguing.
Groovin’ on Rondelets,
the hours whittle away, a person forgets
about necessities, like eating and sleeping.
It’s a silly kind of song that I keep singing,
“Groovin’ on Rondelets.”...

My tired eyes can see him yet
Standing bravely by the front step
His little red wagon trailing behind
Filled with the necessities for the trip
A pair of socks, a banana and his
precious blanket, fresh from the wash.
With a spirit of adventure he set out,
             Down the block and back.........

Stockpiles proportionate divisions
Physical mental health
Making choice decisions

Life issues stealth
Recommendations carefully heeded
Maintain ideal wealth

Necessities well exceeded
Organized required supervisions
Achieved goals succeeded...

Dear lord I'm addicted
All my morals are conflicted
The necessities been evicted
I ought to be convicted
And I should be restricted
As it was depicted
Some would say predicted
Once I became subscripted
That I'd soon be afflicted
And definitely unrestricted
It can't be contradicted
'cause to poetry I'm addicted...

Food
Water
Electricity
A refrigerator
Air-conditioning and heat
A comfortable bed
These are just a few...
Of many mundane necessities
Readily available to us 
Things we Americans
Take for granted
On a quotidian basis
Sadly so few and far between
In third-world countries

A TAIL IS A TALE

Before they are born
All creatures have the same form

Such embryos whether reptilian, animal or human 
Charcteristics the same: difference is illusion

Gestational tails are had by all species
Required by nature as one of life's necessities

So when next a human looks at animals as second class
Look behind to make sure no tail hangs from his ass...

There's a special moment
A special tender time
When you and I are one
And I am unafraid

You are at the gate
Boundary of this place
I see the suffering
Necessary to loosen life

The final journey is one of bliss
Unwanted necessities shed
the inevitable preparation
for the transformation

I'll be with you
Holding your hand
Unafraid shining faces
Trust in the Lord...

Black and white on the days of sun
 Color on the days of rain 
Being away is nothing fun
 Loving you is loving in vain 

For my heart can bear no more
 The pain that you make me endure 
On the days where my body you adore
 And my necessities you cure 

For my heart can bear no more
 The pain you make me tolerate
 On the days where you leave my heart sore
 And my rules you violate...

Both my folks are still alive, blessed and lucky am I.
I have a work I do enjoy 
I have a bed, many wish they shared
I have the freedom to be me, many don’t have that liberty
I sometimes cry for things I really don’t need,
Then I look around at those who don’t have the bare necessities 
I’m truly blessed to live the life I do,
To pray, to shout, to laugh, to cry,
To see the world through my own eyes…...

To sacrifice my time of fate,
inventors urging's commonplace,
the nudge ~ inviolate, but grace,
invention seems to win the race!

That stark inviting quells replace
Lord, nothing else give me to case
this being my worthwhile, my space
and ne'er refusings' stymied trace!

The idea thriving, wholeness ace
at last surviving, millions pace!
I am Invention ~ no escape
Necessities remaining . . . chase!...

Wildlife photograph of the year 2024
Polar bear asleep on iceberg remnant

The bear necessities 

Here I slumber 
here I stay
My world is melting 
and I’m miles away
Drifting off to sea 
dreaming what will be 
Going with the flow
Where else can I go
My pillow feels nice 
I listen to the ice 
its shrinking voice 
Telling me 
to get a larger bed
Full steam ahead 
in over my head

Here's the card go get a new watch
One similar to long ago
When our love was like heavy starch
Embers crackling with just one blow

Chemistry's electrical charge
One touch sets the sparks flying high
Dreams and imagination are large
Needed one kiss for hearts deep sigh

Time changes thoughts; ideas, sadly love
Passions put aside by life sealed
Necessities crowd cooing dove
Even our hearts need to be healed  ...

The day my life became sheltered
In the midst of a deadly virus
It’s killing hundreds and
Spreading like a raging wildfire
I have to stay inside
And keep my head together
And try not to think 
Of the worst
Even though it is the worse
This invisible virus seems
To be creeping all over
The place
Laid off work
Shortage of necessities
That’s very hard to find
But you hunt for them continuously
Turning my life upside down...

Hitching a ride to a distant horizon
No course in mind, no why, no reason
Just my pad and pen and I
With my two best friends I ride
I tried to pack light just necessities
But my past clings to me with tenacity
Then those pesky things called memories
Refused to stay behind as history
So with some baggage I trod along
Pad and pen determined, headstrong
To find that one true elusive verse
To release me from my self induced curse...

If our love does not sustain,
We should try again or else
Rave into the pouring rain.
Monsoon  torrential  consumes
Necessities of potential.  
Differences between us drown 
Drenched  drops pouring.  The
Night is ours.  For ours is the
Power of the storm.  Lover's  rain
Pouring insane we will maintain
Our love this way this night
Shine moon heartbeats tune
We are lovers...  
Fighting  against fate 
THE LOVE OF US.

RAIN!!...

The bounty that I'd hungered for
I gained yet spurned to dine
And behind the mirror looking
I feared its crumbs where mine.

Not that I was sated 
From life's necessities
But left the the table waiting 
On the plenty I could see.

Maybe I was hungry
From the outside looking in
Or that the bounty hungered for
Would take me back again.

Perhaps it was a hunger
That yearning takes away
And I no longer hungry
Had no reason now to stay....

A Tyrant of black
Lounging in his tower of glass
Surveying all his domain

A Merchant of gold
Sitting in his mansion of bronze
Calculating in his voluminous ledgers

A Soldier of grey
Patrolling his streets of stone
Upholding the nations peace

A Worker of brown
Toiling at his labor in a steel factory
Trying to feed his starving family

A Man of white
Walking the brick alleys of a world in decline
Seeking the necessities he rarely has...
